🌟 Outstanding dining experience!
We came as a party of eight, and every single person left happy and full—no small feat! The platters were not only generous in size but bursting with flavor. Favorites included the chicken platter, Yaiyai’s meatballs, and the lamb platter, all of which were devoured with enthusiasm. Even the vegetarian platter stole the show—an unexpected hit among our group. The atmosphere, service, and food made it a night to remember. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Wonderful family owned(?) Greek restaurant. Food was impeccable, comparable and sometimes exceeding Greek cuisine I’ve had in NYC. You must get the moussaka, decadent and creamy with great flavor on the meat/eggplant. Tzatziki was a standout as well, not too garlicky with plenty of herbs. Lamb kebab was tender and char grilled. Powdered sugar cookies and baklava also great desert options to round out the meal.

Will be coming back!

I got takeout for lunch… this was hands down the best Gyro I’ve had in the Philadelphia area. I drive all over the city for work and take clients out to dinner frequently so I have been pretty much everywhere at this point in the city and outside. Needless to say, I will be eating here anytime I’m remotely close. It was that good. I got the blue cheese chicken gyro, it’s not traditional but man… everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Great price too, under 15 bucks. I was the happiest man alive enjoying that Gryo. Thank you so much guys! See you soon!

We stopped in on a rainy day for a late lunch and had a marvelous time! The food was better than anything we could get in our area of Pennsylvania!
My husband loved his lamb souvlaki, and I could not finish my salad topped with salmon. The salad was almost too beautiful to eat.
Just as incredible as the food was the conversation with our server about the quality ingredients! The wonderful woman has a passion for olive oil, olives, vinegars, and wines that made my husband's former chef heart soar.
It is a gem of a restaurant to have stumbled across. We look forward to visiting again when we are in the area. I can't wait to try more of the menu!

I've been looking for a good authentic Greek restaurant for years and I finally found it! The waitress was wonderful and educated us on some foods we were unfamiliar with. She was very pleasant!

Local family run. Charming decor. Food is delicious, staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. Occasionally rather noisy.

The pasta and chicken were overcooked. The waitress was nasty and unfriendly. A bad experience all around. And then they close at 8:00 on a Friday night. This place operates for their own convenience, not for the customer's. Go elsewhere.

I ordered pita chips and tzakziki to go. I got a bunch of pita chips and a tiny takeout sauce container of tzatziki. Added cucumber and tomato to the order. They charged me 14 dollars for come chips, half a tomato, and a thid of a cucumber.

The dinner was fantastic.
The service was excellent.
The only item that I think they could improve on was the Greek salad. Although all the ingredients were there, the salad lacked the usual flavor/taste that I gave grown accustom to .
