Food was overall average I would say. A couple of dishes like the Souzoukakia were excellent but others like the Greek Salad not so good.

I’ve ordered delivery from this place and the food was so bad. It was stale and oily and very very gross. I don’t know if it’s better at the restaurant, but I will never order from them again.

The food here is great. Make sure you get at least one dip; they are all excellent. The entrees are great, especially the salmon salad. The restaurant is cozy, almost to the point of crowded. They tend to sit parties on top of each other so it's loud and pressed in even when it's not busy. The service is ok but not great.

One of the better places in the greater Philadelphia area to satisfy your craving for Greek food! They've always been reliable, welcoming, and the food is generally good. I only wish it was easier to book the place for groups of like 15-25 people, but that's not a problem most people would have when choosing where to dine in the neighborhood.

I hate to leave a bad review, the woman was so nice and the food tasted great, but both myself and the other guy I was with got horrible food poisoning about 3 hours after eating here today. We are both very sick.

Just found pieces of black plastic inside my meatballs. I bit in and almost swallowed.

Nice but not special place in Philly. But we sat outside and from our table we could see the prison reminiscent of the Regi castle where Al Capone was imprisoned.

Delicious food, good service and nice place. Authentic greek food. I recommend and would go again, even if it is not my favorite cuisine. The lamb rack was good! So was the mussels in wine as appetiser. Our waiter, Cordilia was excellent!!

The soup of the day was overall enjoyable, as was the salmon salad. I think they were not quite full 4 ⭐ but I guess I'll round up, partly thanks to the Greek coffee, which I had never had before, and which was interesting and good.

Service was good, and the atmosphere was calm and homely, which felt right to me at the time.

Not pretentious at all, but very nice authentic Greek place.

Food is fresh and tasty. The lamb from lunch menu was great. Greek salad was also good albeit I might prefer it with a little less oil and vinegar.

Greek coffee was almost perfect.

Liked this place.

Everything we ate felt homemade and homey. So delicious. They accommodated me with my dietary restrictions. The only issue we had was the mosquito and 2 flies that kept bothering us while we ate.

Vegetarian options: Eggplant dish was very delicious
