Been here many times. Their food is always great. It has a small indoor area and a decent size outdoor area. Their Chicken Souvlaki Wrap, Souvlaki Plates. and the Grilled Branzini are excellent. Their olive dip that comes with garlic fries is the bomb! Will come back just for the olive dip!

We decided to try this place out, after seeing it on “Check Please, Bay Area”. They have a large menu and there was something for everyone. We opted for the three-dip sampler which came with fresh baked pita wedges, fried pita wedges and bread. Our choices were Athena Olive Spread, Hummus and Tirokaftreri. Delicious! We also ordered Lamb Souvlaki platter, Chicken Souvlaki platter and Biftekia. The portions were generous and we took home leftovers. Very yummy! The service was also great! We will be back and there are other dishes we'd like to try. 😋

The food was fresh and the seating is very clean! perfect for when I have my lunch break.

They have the worst customer service. I’ve been in this place about three times ( more than I should ) and each time the young lady has the worst attitude ever. I’m typing this as I’ve just left them 5 mins ago. I don’t know what it is but today was my last straw with her, I chalked it up to a bad day the first time and maybe even the second but the third time is now an issue. She rang me up and pointed to the card tap, I was paying cash so I asked her to tell me how much do I owe. I don’t think I should have to do that. You guys need to get her funky attitude in check because that’s not right at all. Especially being in the front and the person to ring folks out. That’s probably why the food is mid at best because everyone just had a bad attitude and in a rush. Put some love in your business and serving the people and maybe your food will be top notch. Because Greek food is actually very good. I’ve only been three times because it’s near my job but if it wasn’t the first time would probably be the last because I don’t like bad customer service especially when it comes to my food. Work on that

This place is perfect place for lunch! You can tell the food is high quality and fresh and the portions are great for the prices. The owner is welcoming and gives good suggestions, and the store is clean and has a lot of seating to comfortably eat your food. Highly recommend 10/10!!

The food is good, but the tall old guy is always cracking jokes that are NOT funny and criticizing how you want your food. Then they gave me my fries 5 minutes after they gave me my gyro. The drink fountain was down and they were out of side sauce lids. This place is a mess.

Great Greek meal with colleagues. Great food. We loved the octopus and the squid, both grilled, both great!

Went for lunch on a work day. Food was good but ordering was intimidating for a first-timer. I'll definitely go back now that I have an idea on how it works.

Still a great place to have lunch. They're not afraid to use the herbs and spices necessary to prepare authentic greet dishes. The domades are the best around stuffed with oregano seasoned meat and rice. The chicken souvlaki was tender moist and delicious.

Prices are awesome for the portions. Food was made fresh and had some of the best lamb I've ever had.
