I've been eating here for many years and the food, service, atmosphere is always great. I love their vegetarian moussaka and the falafel sandwich is always delicious. Thanks Avli for staying true throughout these years!

Food here is fantastic! Especially love the Chicken Souvlaki platter, which is my go-to meal on their lunch special. Service is top-notch and the staff is friendly. Atmosphere is great for both small groups and large groups.
