I had a great dinner of souzoukakia (beef and lamb meatballs) and a glass of wine. Perfect. I am an American of Greek heritage, so I know that good Greek food is hard to find, especially in Houston. This is good Greek food. I was here once before and tried their spanakopita. Their spanakopita is not traditional. It was very good, but I think they could probably make the best traditional spanakopita in Texas if they tried. And why no chicken souvlaki? Another dish that would go over great is fasolakia (potatoes and green beans in tomato sauce).

Place is tidy with kind and attentive staff. Not a huge menu but the items they have are great. Lots of flavor! We enjoyed our visit.

Service was lacking, kind of casual, but the food was delicious! We especially enjoyed the souvlaki. We'll definitely return!

Had dinner here in a Sunday evening to catch up with a friend. The place has a small intimate vibe. Service was great. The server offered wine tastings if we were in between options. The baked feta appetizer is out of this world! The beets were underwhelming, and I actually like beets. The feta chicken entree was 4/5. Pretty good. The pecan baklava and the sourdough bread pudding were both 4/5 in my book. Pretty nice place for dinner! I'll be back :)

This is not at all your standard souvlaki restaurant. This food is carefully prepared, seasoned, and presented. I understand now why the Roman emperors insisted on having Greek chefs. We will visit again.

Soo good!! We came in on a Saturday for a late lunch and loved everything. The ambience was cozy and casual, service was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. Still thinking about how flavorful and yummy everything was. Definitely will be coming back.

We were walking around Rice Village and stumbled on this place. From the staff greeting and seating us to the AMAZING food, we were blown away by all of it. Hands down the best Greek cuisine I've had!

I can't believe I have lived in Rice Village for two years and didn't know about this place. It's a small cozy restaurant and it was quiet on a Wednesday night that we visited them. The space is small so go ahead and make a reservation on busier nights. The menu is quite concise but this doesn't mean you will leave hungry. Think of the top part of the menu as mezes or tapas to share and as you work your way down the list the bigger dishes are at the bottom. Everything we ordered we loved: the meatballs, spanakopita( a class act), the octopus, the Greek salad, pitas. We didn't even order a main course. The desserts also were delicious the bread pudding was amazing and the halva took me back to my childhood -- subtle yet tasty. Service was excellent, establishment is clean and organized, it seems everyone that works here wants to be here. That's so important. I will definitely come back for more!

Seven of us enjoyed a birthday dinner for my 14 year old, and have nothing but good things to say. Everything on the menu was delicious and we loved the family style dining. The rack of lamb was probably the best I've ever had. Definitely will be back.

Cute little Greek place in rice village. Meatballs were yummy, but the rest of the food was just alright. Was kind of slow but in their defense I don't think they had a lot of staff on. Was alright but not outstanding, wouldn't say don't go but wouldn't say you must go.

Been to rice village a lot and never been here. It's like a hidden gem. Got the fresh catch and it was so delicious. The tender juicy fish on the inside, and best part, deboned! They add okra on top, I'm not usually a fan of okra but these were decent. The tomatoes and olives really add to the flavor without taking away from the fish. Also the dip sampler, the yellow one is by far my favorite. Not sure what's in it bc it doesn't taste like hummus but lady said it's chickpeas. Cannot wait to go back and try out other items!!
