  Oh my god such great food. Until I visited this place I had no idea how good Greek food was. Great atmosphere (kinda chilly I'm the winter though) but patio seating in the spring/summer/fall. Their chocolate baklava ice cream is something I always get because it is a sweet tooth's dream! The staff is pleasant and attentive and they always have delicious specials. The only reason why it's not a 5 stars is because it's cash only, friends. They do not take credit cards. Other than that, it's a fabulous locally owned restaurant to put on your list to try.

  I had been craving delicious Greek cuisine for several weeks, and this place ruined it. We ordered for pick up, which they said would be done in 20 minutes, but 20 minutes plus 15 minutes of being ignored by the snobby staff, we finally got the food. As we rushed home hoping the food could salvage the poor service, our positive thoughts were shattered yet again. The saganaki? WHAT A JOKE!!! I should have known not to order it by the fact that you can order it to take out... I'll take a little blame for that. If it's done the RIGHT WAY, the person will tell you it's not good to take it, but come in while your order is being made to enjoy it. Then the gyros... I got classic, my honey got chicken portabello, and let's just say us being hungry was the only reason that they were eaten. Otherwise my gym shoes are less rubbery than the gyro and chicken meat... but, rice pudding! Yum! Rice pudding!!! Yeah, how about NOT!? Honey had huge chunks of uncooked rice in his dish, so in the garbage that went! Wendy's would've been a better and cheaper option.
  
  Next time I want Greek food, I'll go to the other place down the way from this hole, or maybe I'll hit up Monroe with the druggies and bums and have a much friendlier and tastier experience.

  Wife and I randomly picked this place looking for something nearby. Looked at other reviews online and they mostly pointed to good food. Well they were correct. We plan on going back more often now that we know some decent Greek like fair exists nearby to us.

  Nice little place to grab some Greek eats. It's one of my favorites in the area because the quality is great and it's pretty quick. It's pretty small so my wife and I typically get things to go, but their patio in the summer is really nice.
