Salad, tzatziki and tirokafteri were excellent. Calamari as well, my pork pita was very big and good but just a little overcooked. But I would definitely eat here again. Out waiter and overall service were excellent.

The food was really good and the portions were huge My friend and I shared an appetizer + a dinner and it was more than enough food. We also each had a glass of wine. It was busy and noisy and they don't take reservations moved once because of family with children sat down next to us but waiter was lovely but not too attentive but the food came out well.

The food was quite good and the service attentive. The redesign looks quite good.

The problem is the noise level. There is nothing to dampen the sound, so people have to shout to be heard and that just makes it worse.

This was inside the main restaurant. The enclosed patio may be quiet enough for people to have a conversation.

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian section on their menu
