Ordered take out for lunch. The service and staff were great. The food was okay, but we were expecting better based on what the reviews have said, and the price we paid. However, you do get very big portions, but our food was not very hot. I live less than a mile from the restaurant and waited about 30 minutes for the food, but we had to heat it up in the microwave. The flavor of everything was very good. I think next time we will dine in to give them another chance and we will certainly update our review.

We love this place. Every time we’re in Tarpon Springs we eat here. I love the fried cheese and octopus appetizers. Delicious Greek wine!!

We went on Mother's, so we expected a wait. We got seated quickly, but the service was quite lacking. It took over 20 minutes for our beverages to arrive, and another 40 minutes for our pita and tzatziki. The pita was fine, but the tzatziki was more of a garlic yogurt than cucumber spread. I love garlic, but this was too much. I went with the Greek French fries, expecting it to be better blended (feta doesn't melt very well, so it was like regular fries with ketchup because the cheese kept falling off) but it wasn't. I also ordered the chicken Greek Chow Mein. I'm not sure if it was because I was full on the bread waiting over an hour from our arrival to the entrée, but it actually tasted better as leftovers. I also threw the remaining feta from the fries and a light sprinkling of garlic salt on it, but I very much enjoyed the leftovers.I wouldn't be so irritated at the long wait if the larger group next to us didn't have a better server than ours. They got their drinks in a timely manner, they were checked on, they got their food and left before we finished our meal. I can't help but wonder if I should have ordered our drinks from that server (my husband had stepped away for a minute) so we would have had more attention paid to us. Our server just kept saying, "We are backed up on to-go orders, your food will be out shortly." It really shouldn't take 40 minutes for pita and tzatziki sauce in a Greek restaurant, but I'm not in that industry. We did get two free glasses of wine and a free order of angel puffs for the inconvenience, but a more attentive server and less garlic in the sauce would have made a better experience.Will I return? Not sure. Will I recommend to others? Not sure there, either... especially as the leftovers were better than the fresh meal. I don't think I would go out of my way to return, but I also don't think I would discourage others to try it out. It could have just been a bad day and most of the staff called in, I don't know. I do know that I won't be ordering the tzatziki sauce from there again.

It was pretty good. The food was delicious and the staff were very kind. The food was really filling and I was starving so this was perfect! I was a little messy but I still liked it. My sister got the fries chicken wrap and she felt there was too much chicken. She had three strips that were on the larger side. She did mention that she got a fatty chunk of chicken. For my first time eating Greek food, I greatly enjoyed it. The whole cheese roasting show was really cool but I didn't really like it because I'm picky, but everybody else liked it. The bread was soft and tasty too. When we got refills the guy did pour a little on the plate so it got wet but other than that, I'm excited for leftovers ?

We ate at this place so we could try their famous Greek Chow Mein. Wow yum! A must try for sure. I ordered the seafood sampler and it was really good too. The best seafood plate we had all week. Only thing I didnt like was the salad, had to much oil in the dressing. Best salad was at mykanos

Such amazing food!! They are so friendly and really enjoyable! Highly recommend saganaki it was really cool! Perfect for families with small kids!When we spilled our drink they were super awesome about it and took care of it right away!

The place was packed and looked like a good number of Greek locals so we thought it would be great. TripAdvisor ratings were high and we had every indication this would be a very good dining experience. We’ll, we came for souvlaki and they didn’t have any. We ordered the Greek salad with gyro and some other items and were very disappointed. The Greek salad was cheap iceberg lettuce - nothing like the authentic Greek salad we were expecting. The gyro wasn’t as flavorful as we’ve had elsewhere and the service was slow. We may try it one more time when they have souvlaki but overall this was a huge disappointment.

The servings are HUGE. An appetizer was more than I could eat for a meal. Most definitely!The food was fresh and tasty. I had a Salad with anchovies, which could have served three people IMHO. So, if you want to get full and take food home for later, this is the place to go.

Greek Chop Suey! What a concept. I had the Gyro version. It was delicious! And the rice pudding was awesome.

Home style, generously sized portions with a clean and light family atmosphere. Bring your appetite, as the portion sizes are large. Mr. Soulvlaki will leave you satisfied, as to go containers will undoubtedly accompany you on your way home. I highly recommend the greek donuts.
