Our first visit. Loved the food! Tasty lamb. Had the Wild Greek gyro, spiced up with Jalapenos. Pretty hot but delicious. My wife liked her regular gyro. Big portions. Fries are good, too. Great service, friendly server. Nice greeting from hostess. Prices are very reasonable. What's not to like? We'll be back

We sort of went here by accident, when we couldn’t get in to the other restaurant we planned to, but I’m so glad we did. The wait staff was super friendly and the food was delicious!! We tried the octopus appetizer, I got the moussaka and my husband got some meat skewers. Everything was very flavorful, the tzatziki was SO good. We’re only in town for a couple days, but plan to eat here again before we go so we can try more of the menu items.

A nice Greek restaurant that has some delicious options. We had a number of items but some were definitely better than others on our visit.I liked that they served us bread with butter right away as our party was hungry.Tour of GreeceTiropita (cheese in phylo pastry) 3 stars. I could taste the oil and it was pretty heavy that it coated my fingers. Whatever oil it was there was a slight off taste for me on the one I triedSpanakopita 5 stars this was my favorite of the items. There was no excess of oil on this one.Keftedes (meatballs) 4.25 stars, second favorite item. It had good flavor and moistGyro meat 4 stars decent flavor, moistFeta 4.5 stars It was goodMixed grill 4 starsIt was served on a pita bread with onions and tomatoesLamb 3.75 my lamb was overcooked which might have led it to be dry.Shrimp 5 starsPikilia 5 starsChicken riganato 5 stars this is what I would come back forPork slouvaki 3.75 stars the slouvaki was dry in this case but was a bit better than the Lamb. The only reason it is equal in rating is because I have a personal preference for lamb.Dolmamthes 4.75 stars a very good version. I'm not always a fan of this item but I enjoyed this one a lot.Moussaka 4.5 stars very very tastyLoukaniko 3.5 starsIs an orange peel sausage? But it wasn't our favorite here. I didn't order it so I don't remember the details but I did try my friends order.Parking is available in a dedicated medium sized lot.The lemon potatoes were also a win.Everyone liked the house salad. It's very simple but was fresh. The olives that came with it were very tasty.

I have been coming here for almost 40 years when they were in a small shop down the street! I have watched them grow and their family grow up. The food is always amazing and the family is always wonderful. If you are looking for an amazing Greek meal, this is the place for you. The Gyros are incredible and we love to get the appetizer for 4 to start the dinner off. Always busy but well worth it!

So, I’m really saddened about having to give this review. I came here as a child many times with my grandparents. It’s been years since I visited. So, I thought I would take my daughter and enjoy the amazing food they have to offer. Well, unfortunately it was not the visit I was expecting. The wait for start was long, for everything- water, appetizer and our main dishes. We ended up having our main dishes boxed up to take home. I was honestly just fed up with the experience and needed to go. The waitress seemed annoyed. I tried to be extra nice and grateful, as I know it is a hard job. But continued to get blank irritated looks from her. Most importantly, they really need to replace the glass table covers as they are chipping in several places. This is dangerous for everyone, especially children! The 2 stars are for the food. The flavor is still there! The generous serving size is still there! Hopefully they can get the tables fixed and work on hiring and training friendly staff.

My wife and family have been coming here for fifteen plus years! The service is always on point! The food is amazing and we will continue to make this one of our favorite places to eat in Omaha!!

Great Greek Food !!! Didn't get picture of our meal this one of their appetizers The SpinArtch Dip with Pita it was Delicious. She had the Apollo for her drink me the typical Coors Light. Entrees we got the Gyro Platter and Beef Skordalia with Pita!! ALL DELICIOUS WE'LL BE BACK TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!! OPA!!

Here right now. Grease is old. The fish n chips is literally from sam's. We buy the same product at home regularly. Not good. Fine at home,but not what you go out for.On another note, I did mention it to the owner after he asked us how our food was. He says that's all he can get sent in from Chicago. Its literally from sam's club

Prices have risen and the staff seems indifferent. I paid for extra tzatziki sauce and the small container was only half full. Ordered Greek potatoes and did not receive them. Called in my order 25 minutes ahead of time and still had to wait 20 minutes once I got there.
