we were in arlington and been told of the restaurant so decided to check it out. the restaurant was very big but there seemed to be few wait staff. the staff that were there were very friendly and hospitable we started with the hummus trio and got complimentary bread. the bread was really good and tasted homemade - the hummus was also good and it came with pita but the homemade bread was better. we then got the greek salad, the kabobs, and the greek sampler with a variety of dishes. the portion size was big and everything tasted really good. standouts were the spanikopita and the moussaka. the veggies on the side were average overall good food, big portions and friendly staff

This gem is amazing! The staff are super friendly. The atmosphere is very charming. Warm bread is delicious. The House Red wine is very good. The spanakopita appetizer is light and flaky and very tasty. The moussaka comes with a bowl of freshly ground parmesan cheese and I would for sure order this meal again! My husband chose the seafood combination of scallops, shrimp and calamari in white wine sauce. He loved it! We will for sure be back the next time we're in the area.

I have going here for over 15 years. Still best Grerk dishes in town great prices and a simple elegance with linen table cloth and napkins. Great portions. True Greek cuisine with a lot of parking in the back.

Really enjoyed the meal! Hummus was awesome! Gyro was excellent! Tzatziki was very authentic Greek! Baklava was ok. Mom and pop place - so service was ok but a tad slow. Our server may have fought w Alexander the Great. Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic traditional Greek restaurant with all your classic Greek dishes. I had the best moussaka I've ever eaten and my wife ate the broiled pork chops. The we perfectly flame grilled with a nice char but still very juicy. Both meals included fresh country style green beans. We finished off the meal with a slice of almond creme cake. So yummy (but not on the menu so you have to ask for eat).

Simply the best tasting Lamb Chops I've had in a very long while. And the hosts were the friendliest we've had the pleasure of being guests to. This is definitely a place to go to, for excellent Greek food at reasonable prices.

Amazing food and service. Have eaten at several establishments in this block area and this is on our repeat list. Charming service from friendly people. Lovely atmosphere and unbelievably affordable for this area.

Best authentic Greek food we’ve eaten in 30 years. Food quality and flavor, service, and price were excellent. And they serve #12 ouzo!

Ate inside, the ambiance felt curiously authentic. Very friendly staff, great gyro. The food did take a while, but that didn't bother us. They do have an outdoor patio that we'll have to try in the summer.

Appetizer was phenomenal. Main dish portion size was good yet lack flavor.Service was great
