Was disappointed. The only thing that worked about this place was the Tzaziki dip. Everything else on the plate was pretty average and the person who attended us was the least bit welcoming.

2022 Update:It has been a slow decline over since the 5 star review I gave almost 2 years ago. Today I had to drain (could have even wrung out) my calamari it was so greasy. Had to drop down to a 3. What a shame.

We had lunch here and it was wonderful! The lamb was done to perfection and huge portion with the pita wrap. Will definitely go here again.

Pretty disappointing! Spanakopita was small and resembled something frozen and re-warmed. The portions are definitely not worth the price, which is surprisingly steep for what you get. Just not worth it at all.

I ordered the plater for 1- lamb.. oh boy, here we go.I honestly don't like giving out bad reviews but unfortunately this one is warranted.Portion sizes were embarrassingly tiny. I was still hungry when I finished the food! I can't believe I paid over $25 for what I got when it's almost half that price right across the road at greek on the street.When I asked the cook who was there if the order came with a gyro he said yes but it didn't. It came with some tiny pita triangles and everything else in separate containers so I had to do it myself..Don't be fooled by the size of the salad either, it was almost entirely cucumber with some tomato and a bit of onion and green pepper.I didn't even get enough pita bread to use the hummus...I called to talk to them about it and they said they would give me a credit but to be honest I don't even want it because I don't plan on going back. I sure hope they're paying their employees well for charging that much.It tasted good but was nothing special.. the cheaper price across the street also tasted better just an fyi. To be quite honest the only positive thing about this entire experience was the person working the till who was exceptionally nice.1.5 stars because of the great staff member

Delicious food, quaint ambience. Our server Shayla was super adorable and would come back for her alone! Very reasonable prices, limited drink selection but would def return

Excellent fresh food, fast service, and very welcoming. We will be back for sure!

I just ordered (again) the Gyros and it continues to the very best I have ever had! My wife likes the chicken and Greek salad which is also very good but the Gyros pita is my favorite!

the food is dry and the staff blamed everything on uber. i wouldnt recommend. i would rather eat canned food

Service was great. Food was good, however it just is not traditional Greek food. It is North America Greek food. This town really needs an authentic Greek restaurant again.
