IT’S AMAZING!!!! The Greek/ Mediterranean food here is just amazing. It’s truly made with LOVE. The service is out of this world. The Baklava is awesome. The soup and salad combo is refreshing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great little restaurant me and my wife wanted to try something different than our usual spots. Our waitress was super nice and helpful with ordering. The soup was pretty good with, had to add some salt and pepper. The salad was probably the biggest complaint I’d have as if was doused in oil. The appetizer of pitta brad and gyro sauce was incredible. The bread was warm and fresh, easily could have eaten it by itself. Our main dishes were really good too! I would maybe order something different than just the three meats but it was nice to try all of their cuts. Will definitely keep this in as restaurant to revisit.

Good traditional Greek restaurant. Mom and pop type place. Lots of traditional Greek dishes. Many Greek wines and beers are available as well. Service can be a little slow when it is busy. Love some flaming Saganaki and gyro platter.

Amazing Greek food and budget friendly. The gyro dinner is delicious and gives you the opportunity to try other foods such as seasoned Greek potatoes, tiropita and grape leaves along with soup and salad. The pita bread is so soft, fresh and delicious. The saganaki (cheese on fire) is a show and yummy.

I love this place so much! The owners here are so nice and attentive. They really want to make everyone’s experience memorable. The food was fresh and delicious. It reminded My gluten-free friends were able to find foods they could enjoy. We stopped in before a concert at Wooly’s. I highly recommend the flaming cheese if you’re into that sort of thing! They do run out of it often though so I’d try to get in before the dinner rush. It’s just so popular!

Thank you Angelo for the memories. My grandparents took us here for decades. We were there last night and the food was better than ever. It’s the real deal and everyone that works there is as kind as they come. Thank you for being there for wonderful meals and celebrations. Our favorite is the gyro! Best tzatziki sauce ever.

Great food and great experience. Was a bit hesitant to come since I never tried it before. When we sat down and heard there was only one chef and that the food could take up to an hour was even more unsure. But the food was amazing. We were started off with pita bread and it was insanely delicious. The soup they served along with was amazing. It was like a zesty chicken noodle soup, and coming from a person who does really enjoy soup that is a big compliment.

We went in a Friday evening and it was pretty crowded – it’s a small space!

Very nice staff. I got a gyro wrap it came with a salad. It was full of meat that was very tasty.
