I am a big lover of a good gyro, and always wanted to try more Greek cuisine. So color me surprised…read morewhen I found an authentic place while on the drive It was not disappointing. We had some saganaki as an appetizer, and it was PERFECT! I highly recommend it for anyone trying this place out! For entrees, I got the Dolmades, and Dad got the Pasta Kotopuolo. My domades blew me away, and Dad got his first taste of Greek food in a few good years and he said he loved it! I got a few bites of his too, and I swear I died and went to heaven, it was too good! We also got some Greek lemon potatoes, and any chance to have potatoes is a good day! Pretty good portion sizes with everything, too! We also got my little cousin a gyro to go, and it DID NOT disappoint! The place was very fancy-looking, and had Greek music playing throughout the restaurant, so it really felt very cool and interesting! We met the owner(?), and she was very kind, and assured me about my nut allergy right off the bat Our server, kim, was very attentive, and made sure everything was absolutely 100% perfect before anything If I'm ever in Williamsburg again, im stopping by! 10/10

So let's start with the positives. Accessible parking, nicely decorated interior and a friendly and…read morehelpful waiter. We ordered scordalia (Greek penicillin) as our appetizer and it came with Pita. It was a large portion and had good flavors of garlic and lemon. One of the specials of the day was the boneless marinated leg of lamb ( Arniso Boutaki Me Meli). My wife and I both ordered it and boy were we disappointed. It came with seasonal vegetables and lemon potatoes. What we got was tough grey lamb with a sauce that looked reminiscent of Salisbury steak. It didn't have much flavor and it was NOT tender. I cook lamb frequently and this was horrible. I could guarantee it was most likely microwaved and not braised in a rich sauce like it should be. We came after a long day exploring Williamsburg and we were so so hungry. The only real edible part was the vegetables. Also I wish they would give you more than 3 potato wedges. The potato could also use more of a lemon flavor it was hardly noticeable. The only reason we didn't give it 1 star was because our waiter gave us 10% off the entire bill because we complained about the dish.

Tyropita, chicken skewer platter, gyro platter, and a dessert. Got a call a few minutes later that they were out of the dessert and a man, probably the owner, gave us other options. He also made sure we knew it would be an hour. At 9:55 my husband went out to wait. Then I got nervous and started looking at reviews. By 10:10 I was a little more nervous and I was still waiting for him to come back in. Finally, about 10:15 he walked in with the food. Turns out the food was there right on time, but the delivery guy from whatever third party, with his wife in the car, gave my husband a long sob story about being homeless and how he would never be able to stay in such a nice place. Sorry buddy, we've struggled too and we get it but... not cool. So the food was AMAZING! It was still pretty hot. My husband loved the gyro platter except I forgot to add feta. I have found that a lot of places don't include feta on their gyros anymore without an extra charge. Sign of the times, I suppose. My chicken skewers were delicious. I love lemon and real Greek food, when done right, is full of lemon flavor. The chicken had a wonderful lemony tang... and the roasted potatoes were just like the Greek potatoes I make at home with lemon, garlic, chicken broth and olive oil and they roast until they're falling apart. I've only ever found them at one other restaurant. I am not Greek nor have I been to Greece, but I am a foodie and somewhat of a chef and this was the best Greek I have had. The tyropita were crispy and the seasoning in the cheese was excellent. The tatziki sauce was fresh and flavorful, lots of garlic and dill, not just cucumber and yogurt. I honestly wish I could order from there again tonight, with a different delivery driver. Too bad we're already home.

Both sandwiches were generous, satisfying, and enough for leftovers. The real standout, though, was the staff. The new hire at the register was friendly and efficient. But the woman who caught me mid-selfie at the frosted Christmas tree? "Let's do this right," she said, and we were co-conspirators in capturing a little sparkle. We ended up chatting for a bit. It's not every day you cross paths with someone who sees the same small things you do and doesn't treat them like background noise. Wishing everyone a merry Christmas, but especially her.

It's small and cozy and cute inside with pictures of Istanbul all around to celebrate the namesake of the place/food.

I always add a side of fried mushrooms, which are perfectly crispy and seriously addictive. The vibe is casual and welcoming, exactly what you want from a local gem that just does things right. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot deserves a place on your regular rotation. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on one of Newport News' best gems.
