Service was delightful, food was very tasty.I had the chicken penne vodka, and while delicious, I think it may have been microwaved due to the wild temperature difference throughout - some parts were lava hot and it burned my lip/mouth.I would still dine here again. ?

We ordered two dishes with different items on them to try many things... they came with a salad to start with... the greek salad was fresh and crispy... the Greek dressing that came with the salad is a must to try!The food was nicely presented... on a big square dish... symmetrical... all the items were nicely done with authentic Greek herbs and spices...Will come back to try the Gyro sometime!! Because the gyro meet that was served was very tasty!!It was alot of food for both of us..

My favorite place to get Greek food in the DMV. The portions are massive, the staff very friendly and food is delicious. I highly recommend you get the tour!

Very good food and excellent service. Our waiters were very friendly and personable. The interior was on the dark side but clean and comfortable. There was no background music and it wasn't too loud so this is a great place to eat, especially if you'd like to have a conversation or hear yourself think!

Spacious, nice setup, prompt service,delicious food.We will be coming back!

Greek diner style food.Food was "OK".It was not remarkable but it wasn't bad. Mini pancakes were the highlight. The souvlaki was ok, if only mildly seasoned, but I think Spartans/Olympus does Greek diner style better.One thing of annoyance is that we were with a party 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) and the kids started saying they wanted pancakes instead of french fries, and we tried to talk the kids out of it but the waitress said "We can do it"...Food came and we had 3 orders of mini pancakes along with their burgers AND fries.. (rather than in lieu of)...I would have expected and been ok with a surcharge but instead I had 3 orders of pancakes @ 7.95 PLUS 3 orders of kids burgers and fries @ 5.95...Now the pancakes were pretty damn good (I tried one) but...I wish the waitress was clear/upfront that this was not an upcharge or a replacement but a separate item... So that annoyed me. I was more annoyed with myself for not asking (but, again, I was with a group and did not want to be "that guy"). So... I didn't get angry. I should not have assumed, based on one sentence of "We can do it"... Which also added $25 to the bill.Once we were done with our meal, I had to walk over to the waitress for the check (she never checked on us and we were the only table in the entire restaurant).Overall, I was unimpressed by the food and the service and somewhat disappointed, since I had been wanting to try this place for a long time.Sadly, I can't give it the "Seal of Approval"... But like I said, the food wasn't bad... It just wasn't great.Maybe others have had better experiences.I probably won't go again...

Great Greek brunch after church. Amazing menu, food and service. The Greek dishes were prepared with incredible ingredients and service.

The food here is so delicious! I’ve been here twice so far and it’s the only Greek restaurant that I’ll go to while I visit family or my boyfriend. The staff is extremely friendly.

This family run restaurant is located in a strip mall. The restaurant is quite large inside. It’s seat yourself but service is to and from the table. Our wait staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. I went with the gyro and the wife went with the tour. The serving size here was huge - no way you are going to need another meal that day, for sure. The quality of the food was very good. The only drawback being that the spanakopita was a bit on the cool side, clearly warmed for the meal - but not quite enough. Everything else was absolutely stellar - and there was a ton of it. The cost of the meal was also interesting - it was super cheap. Not sure how they do that and make it work. Good quality food that was inexpensive - not the usual! Definitely recommend!

We got the dips appetizer with pitas hummus, and the feta dip. Really yummy flavor and served hot! For my entrée I got the gyro and it was huge and delicious. The tzatziki sauce was perfect and had just the right texture. The fries are crispy, too ?? We also got the platter with lamb, chicken, and pork. It was enough for two people! The baklava was pretty sweet, but still amazing and textured perfectly. Everyone was really nice and service was great. Really recommend this for the family!
