We had an absolutely lovely lunch there with my grandmother, who had never had Mediterranean food before, and she was delighted by all the dishes! Salads were great, as were the desserts, and the service was very good. So glad we stopped here!
Had an absolutely wonderful meal here with my family! We had several salads, hummus, the lemon chicken, and desserts and all were delicious. It was the first time my 90-year-old grandmother had Mediterranean food and she LOVED IT. Great service, very nice family, very relaxed outside atmosphere. We will be back!
Fabulous and unique experience! Highly recommend.

Calypso - Mediterranean Cuisine offers a charming dining experience with delicious and generous portions. The menu features dishes such as the grilled Bronzino, Shishi Tawook (chicken kabob platter), and Meze platter. The restaurant is small and cozy, located in the heart of Skippack, and is accessible via stairs. It has a great staff and prepares some of the best Mediterranean food, including tasty falafel, warm dolmas, and an flavorful beef/orzo dish seasoned with cinnamon and warm spices. The atmosphere is quiet despite the music, allowing for real conversations without shouting. The service is friendly and attentive, and since it is BYOB, it feels less expensive without liquor mark-ups. Recent reviews praise the outdoor patio, which is very comfortable with plenty of shade and a beautiful ambiance, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the menu. The food remains fresh and flavorful, with highlights such as the creamy hummus with just the right hint of garlic and lemon, perfectly seasoned dolmas, and the beef kokkinisto, which is tender and cooked in a rich tomato sauce with cinnamon and spices. Desserts like baklava and lemon raspberry cake are also made with love and freshness. Visitors have celebrated special occasions here, finding the experience wonderful and memorable. Overall, Calypso continues to be a cozy and authentic Mediterranean restaurant worth visiting.
