We sat by the kitchen and saw all the amazing food coming out. My grilled chicken Greek salad was perfect - juicy chicken, feta on top. Best Greek salad ever! It beat my go-to spot in Virginia Beach.

This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're not used to Mediterranean food. It was tasty, healthy, and authentic to the region. I got the combination platter which came with gyro, greek sausage, greek salad, pita bread and chargrilled vegetables. The portions were solid. Everything tasted fresh. This place is seed-oil free and cooks with extra virgin olive oil that is imported from Greece. Vegetables are bought locally from NY farmers markets. Service was quick and efficient, and the seating area is clean and well put together.

The appetizers are delicious and pretty large (without jeoparding quality). My favorite are the horiatiki salad (a refreshing salad with feta) and the midia axnista (steamed mussels with broth). If you're a pita bread kinda person, you can't go wrong with their pita and dips! For entrees, you cant go wrong with their grilled fishes (I liked the lavraki branzino the most). Their hirini brizola (grilled pork chop) was delicious too! The service is good here and the wait staff is friendly. One time, we were running late for our reservation, but the staff was very accommodating and still sat us down.

The restaurant was warm and inviting and we enjoyed sitting and waiting for our food. We received pita and hummus while we waited, which was delicious!

We shared the chicken souvlaki platter for dinner and were completely stuffed by the end! I regret not having room for the dessert, so next time I'll make sure to save some.

This place took SO long to deliver our food ! Like, such an inexcusably long amount of time, the only reason I could even begin to conjecture why it took so long would've been some sort of car accident or family emergency...which was not the case... took almost 2 hours to arrive ... I'm not sure if they outsource their delivery but whatever the case may be it is unacceptable, NEVER again.

Just not great and should have been warm Laila salad - Fattet Makdous - stuffed eggplant with ground meat with yogurt garlic sauce with small crunchy pieces of pita bread. This was a bit too rich for me. My friend ordered it. Very tasty and different. Sujok - Syrian beef sausage delicious and different from Italian or polish sausage Spicy potatoes were incredible. They were crunchy so apparently fried but not greasy. Desert was baklava mushed up with a scoop of ice cream. Amazing I'd go back in a heartbeat. There's a lot of different dishes to try out!!

The entrees we ordered: the vegetarian moussaka, the lamb ("Bifteki") platter, and the chicken souvlaki platter. We were very happy and very satisfied. Portions are ample. Timing of the 2 grilled meat dishes with the oven-baked casserole was perfect: everything was hot. Our thanks to the chef of a well managed kitchen. The complementary butter cookies were a delightful way to end the meal. Our server was attentive and professional. The interior is spotless, with minimal decoration, so nothing distracting. The restaurant is in a mixed residential-small business neighborhood. We're happy to recommend this restaurant to others.
