Get Saganaki, make a fire and scream OPA!!!!
Then get the fish of the day!
Then ask for the house made yogurt dessert with nuts and honey!
And then - go kiss the cook!!!

They have a bunch of gluten free option, you need to ask!

Best Greek place in town!!!

This restaurant an absolute gem on the Danforth. It doesn't get more authentic than this for Greek food. Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff always make it a treat. Summers are particularly fun on the patio. Whether your surfing or turfing, a little splash of Tsipouro is a great idea. The owner is always around making sure things are running like clockwork. Great job always consistent and delicious..👏🇬🇷

My fiancée and I had dinner here last night and it was an INCREDIBLE experience! The food was amazing, the portions were huge, the service was attentive, fast, and kind, and the vibes inside were cozy and festive. We ordered the dip trio, the saganaki, the leg of lamb (I have never had lamb so moist and fall-off-the-bone), the gyro dinner, and they kept our bread bowl full! I can’t wait to be back!
