We used to frequent this place when we lived in NJ. We currently live in MD and haven't been here…read morein about 10 years. I was so excited to come back. Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. I know things changed since the previous owner (older Greek man) no longer owned it. He used to stop by the tables and chat with customers and we noticed that the portions had become smaller. This time we came for lunch on a Sunday. Place was kind of empty, with the exception of 2 large tables. We ordered Saganaki and were informed by waitress that they no longer flambéd it table side. We still ordered and it was good although not melted like we remembered. Husband only ordered the lemon soup, which he said was good. My daughter and I both ordered beef and lamb gyros, I ordered it with Greek fries (with the Greek cheese over them) and my daughter ordered hers with lemon potatoes. Both gyros came dry, in hard shaved pieces and I barely ate my fries as they were worse than fast food fries and not the traditional Greek cheese over them. The tzatziki was good, however, my daughter's had a hair in it. The worse part was that when we brought it to the waitresses attention, she was not apologetic or surprised. She just said she would bring a new one. This was unacceptable. To make matters worse, I went to their store next door to get the cheese I could fry at home and their custard dessert; they had neither. What a disappointment to the entire experience. Won't be returning if ever in the area.

I landed at Pithari Tavern for a team dinner after a full week of "collaborative workshop…read moreOlympics." It's a tiny, charming Greek spot tucked into Highland Park downtown, with parking so limited you basically need divine intervention... or street parking. Inside, it's cute and very Greek-coded. Vegetarian options? Let's just say... blink and you've seen them all. The hummus platter held its ground, but the Halloumi? I swear it was so rubbery I could hear it squeaking back at me. It felt like chewing a flip-flop in surround sound. Dinner came with exactly three vegetarian choices, all of which looked more like an appetizer sampler trying to pass as a meal. Thankfully, I had great company and a teammate who generously brought wine, which definitely upgraded the experience. Would I return? Personally, no. If you're vegetarian and planning to eat anything beyond hummus, salad, or bread, this place might test your patience. But credit where it's due... their orange cake was delicious and dangerously sweet.

I've never had a better Adana kebab. I didn't order any changes to either sandwich. The sauces and vegetables were a great complement to the respective meats. The pita wasn't as large as many are used to. I found the size sufficient but others may want more to eat than just the sandwich. I will likely go out of my way to eat there again.

We shared a few dishes: eggplant salad, feta plate and falafel platter with creamy hummus. The tangy feta was served with slices of cucumbers, tomatoes and olives. The smooth humus was served with four falafel placed on top. The eggplant salad was seasoned well. The fresh baked bread definitely elevates the dishes. Everything was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with fresh ingredients. We didn't finish so don't over order. The service was another highlight. Our server was genuinely sweet and attentive as busy as it was. We didn't have room for dessert, but the baklava looked absolutely delicious -- definitely something to come back for!

Got the mixed grill for two which was served with a side of soup and salad . Both sides were delicious. The grilled chicken kebabs and chops were passable though not juicy . All Lamb kebab choices were tough and chewy . This is a mediocre spot as I age v had better Kebabs in the same area . Not my kind of food.

The Turkish Mediterranean cuisine lived up to the hype. I ordered the lebni, chicken and lamb shish kebab with rice and salad, and tried the red sauce with bread, all of which were outstanding. The dishes struck the perfect balance: satisfying and filling without being heavy or leaving you uncomfortably full. The service matched the quality of the food. The staff was attentive and friendly, and our meals arrived promptly and beautifully presented. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends, I'd highly recommend this spot. The food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience is top-notch.

The employee was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding what to order. For appetizers, we got the hummus, tzatziki, and falafel--everything was delicious. They also give you a side of "mommy's sauce," and omg... it was soooo good mixed with the hummus. It's a secret family recipe made by the owner herself, which makes it even better! For the entrée, we ordered the mixed grill platter. My favorite meats were the gyro slices and the beef cubes. The beef cubes were perfectly seasoned--seriously next level. The rice underneath all the meat was also excellent and packed with flavor. Will definitely be back!!

The owner was incredibly accommodating, making the entire day completely stress-free--we truly felt taken care of throughout. The food was delicious--apps included calamari, spreads, and salad, and guests couldn't stop talking about how perfectly cooked the calamari was. For entrées, the salmon and chicken were the most popular choices, and both were cooked to perfection. The restaurant has been recently renovated, and the décor and ambiance truly speak for themselves. We kept it simple with bud vases on the tables, and it looked beautiful and perfectly suited for a bridal shower. The service was truly impeccable, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. It was a perfect day, and we will absolutely consider this restaurant again for future events.

We walked in for lunch and were immediately seated. Though they also take reservations on Resy. We came dressed casually though the vibe seemed a bit dressier with the dimly lit interior. The restaurant has a clean, modern feel while still maintaining the charm of a neighborhood eatery. *FOOD* The menu offers a great variety of Greek-inspired dishes made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I ordered the lobster gyro, which was absolutely delicious. The lobster was flavorful and the combination of ingredients came together nicely in the pita. The dish also comes with a side of fries. *SERVICE* The service was friendly and attentive throughout our lunch. Our waitress was welcoming and checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well. Overall, great experience all around and it's the type of place you'd want as a regular neighborhood favorite. I'd definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu!
