Small local business with delicious food! They give you a good portion of food for your order. I ordered the chicken pita wrap and the chicken was a little dry but aside from that, everything else was tasty. The staff was very helpful and there are outdoor eating options. It was a nice surprise for the area of Alabama we visited.

I was really excited to go here for the first time after reading the reviews and pictures of gyro platter since they all looked so amazing. The thinnest gyro I’ve ever had and I’m ever going to have.

Most authentic Mediterranean food I have had in the US in recent times. Exactly how it should taste. The Falafels tasted yummy. Large portions. The Salmon entrée and Gyros were amazing. The service was excellent too. Will definitely visit again.

A nice little place in Cahaba Heights. It has indoor and outdoor dining areas. We had the appetizer sampler and for our entrees ordered a lot of different dishes alacarte. Everything was fresh and delicious!

Food was not traditional as we would have thought. Gyros did not have traditional sauce. Meat was not sliced from rotating spits. More of a diner than a full restaurant. Had both indoor and outdoor dining. Waiter was more interested in looking at his phone than checking on us until it was time to bring our check.

The food was wonderful. I was in restaurant business & married to a Greek restaurant man. If I liked it that’s speaks alot for the food. Look forward to eating there again.

Everything it should be and more. The food was the ethereal, emotional experience that we all need in our lives just once. You know, Hollywood level epic. The service was phenomenal, the atmosphere exactly perfect. You won’t want Greek food from anywhere else after you eat here, I promise.
