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

Hubby ordered the lamb chop (asked for rare) dinner, I ordered the chicken lamb rice soup ! It was the star of the whole meal ! I also ordered the 8oz leg of lamb dinner. Both dinners came with (3) wedges lemon potatoes, fresh green beans and 3 carrot wedges My potatoes were a bit under cooked for me.( note my personal preference only). as hubby said his were great ! His lamb chops were medium when served !! My leg of lamb came in bits & pieces with a gravy on it,( the menu neglected to mention the gravy !! It was disappointing for me, the lamb was well done & I wasn't a fan of the gravy Over all I was thankful for the soup

The salad and the rice were fine - nothing to rave home about. The sauces especially the white one was very thin, tastes like watered down buttercream ranch. Overall the platter didn't taste bad, flavor wise, if it didn't then I would have given it lower. The inside was completely empty and was generally pretty run down feeling.

They have beautiful booths for smaller groups, which looked very comfortable, but since we were a large party, we were seated at tables that accommodated everyone perfectly. The young lady at the front desk deserves special recognition. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her hospitality made us feel right at home and set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The menu offers a great variety of authentic dishes, and we decided to order the Shibam Plate, which comes with the giant Mandhi platter. It included four huge freshly baked breads, four delicious dips, two chicken soups, two lamb soups, and an enormous Mandhi platter that was more than enough for our group. The value for money was simply incredible. The food was exceptional. The rice was wonderfully fragrant and packed with flavor, making it the perfect base for the meal. The lamb was unbelievably tender, literally falling off the bone, while the chicken was perfectly cooked juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The spicy sauce served with the Mandhi was absolutely delicious and complemented the rice and meat perfectly. Every single item was fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, the generous portions, the outstanding service, and the welcoming atmosphere. This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. We left happy, completely satisfied, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

This location offered fast and friendly service which was perfect for our level of hunger. Win, Win! The dining room was clean, and well stocked with paper napkins and plastic ware. But, I placed our orders to go. We truly enjoyed our greens and grains bowls that included the supergreens and brown rice for the base. I chose grilled chicken for my bowl and since my husband prefers spicy, I chose harissa honey chicken (extra charge) for his bowl.

The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow.

Moving here over the decades, many of the pancake houses and restaurants were owned by the Greek community. Learning this, I had to dine at a Greek retsaurant. Yelp's top rating led me here. I was surprised to see it's also a drive-thru. Because of that, I had the entire inside to myself for lunch on a random Wednesday in September. Ordering on a table, I got the chicken gyro with fries inside, baklava, and Coca-Cola. There was good flavor on the gyro. The baklava was not very good. It tasted too commercial and hard. Overall, it was a good experience dining here!

Located in Hilltop Plaza, this Mediterranean restaurant immediately makes you feel like you've stepped into a different place. The decor, music, and even the food products they have at the counter really add to the atmosphere. We were immediately greeted, helped, and seated. The service was impeccable. Our waitress checked in on us the perfect amount. She was attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the baba ghanoush and the beef kebab platter, and both were really good! I'll admit I've had better, which is why I'm giving this place 4 stars, but overall, I had a great experience. The food, atmosphere, and service definitely make this a place I'll be coming back to!

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.
