    I've been wanting to try this place for months, and I'm happy I finally went with a friend. We each ordered similar dishes, one being chicken and one pork. I was really happy with the plate that was provided, especially the tzsaski sauce. Food is served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. You order at the front of the restaurant (no sit-down service), and drinks are self-serve. Beer is also available for purchase. The inside was unique and quaint, and quite frankly, I'm surprised there weren't more people there. Will probably be going back.

    Chicken Kabob Platter with Salad
    Charlie B.

    I enjoyed the hummus and chicken kabob platter I had on my last visit. The place had a kind of old school / casual dive bar feel (because they do have a dive-ish bar inside) and I dig that. I think I will probably hang out here again soon. They have a large menu of Greek specialties. I will probably try their Gyro on my next visit... I had a salad on the side which tasted fresh and the pita served with my hummus was served warm. Pretty Nice! One small caveat - they do close kind of early. on weekdays I came in at 8:09 on a Tuesday and the fellow at the counter said, ¨We close at 8:30 tonight" (the front door sign says 8:45 - which is still sort of a strange closing time - on a weekday near a college (?) ECU - East Carolina University...). So, I scarfed down my food (quite tasty) and left by 8:32. I counted four other tables still eating when I left - so I don´t think I was an imposition. I will say - if this place was open til 10:00 on weekdays I would be there very often. I will be back. I liked the food and I also like the ¨dated¨ style of the interior.

    Athenian grilled cheese, takeout

    Decided to give this place a go on my lunch break to support local. I got the chicken kabob sandwich and Athenian grilled cheese. Both were very good. I'd get either or both again, though you'd likely need 2 items as I did to satisfy the appetite of an active adult. I did wait almost 45 minutes for my order. I understand being busy at lunch but that seemed unnecessary. Sanitation score was also below what I'm normally comfortable with. Surely it'll be back up soon...

    Lots of vegetarian options and great service! The spanakopita was delicious and the falafel was some of the best I've had!

    The food is amazing! You have to try the steak & cheese sandwich. I have been dining here since I was a teen.

Ask to sit upstairs on the roof (enclosed in glass for cold days). Biggest hit for appetizer was stuffed eggplant, but the grape leaves and trio of spreads and pita were also solid choices.

We started with the saganaki and hummus, then decided to go all in and order the Grecian Feast for two. In hindsight, that was a lot of food after already getting starters. Definitely come hungry or plan to split the feast with 3. The platter itself is huge and comes with a dip, rice, salad and your choice of meats and/or seafood. The highlights for us were the spicy feta and the salmon, both of which had great flavor. The lowlight was the chicken, which was way overcooked and ended up tough and pretty tasteless. Service unfortunately dragged the experience down quite a bit. It felt like we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came by with menus, then another 15 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Once we finally ordered everything, the food actually came out fairly quickly. But by the end of the meal we were basically hunting for our server. At one point we both separately went to the bathroom (including a trip to the one downstairs) and still had not seen our server to try to get the check. Overall, come for the rooftop atmosphere, but I would recommend ordering all of your drinks and food at once so you can just sit back and enjoy the patio without waiting around for service.
