Our waiter was very attentive the entire time, even making some recommendations about which dishes to get since it was our first time eating there. The combo platter appetizer is a great way to try several of their small dishes while waiting for the main entrees. Everything was delicious and the pita had a good bite to it. I got the Maydoon Bowl with lamb and it was yummy! There was a generous portion of meat and rice, and mixing the entire dish was a tasty way to get goodness in every bite. Parking can be a hassle in that area, but doable. There's some free 1-2 hour parking spots a few blocks on either side. Inside was quite loud, but to be expected since it's a popular dinner spot.

The lady who was serving us (and I think the owner?) was so sweet, she helped us decide on what to order. Everything made to order and the price was really good. We got heaping portions for two people and it was less than $30 for lunch including drinks and dessert! We split the combo ($17.99) and added pita (2.99), two drinks, and a baklava. The baklava was huge, shaped like a rose and had hints of rose. The meat was so tender and juicy, the rice was aromatic. The hummus was so good and the fire roasted tomatoes. The pita was the only thing I was meh on. There were plenty of parking in the strip mall. We'll definitely be back!

The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We left completely stuffed and already talking about what we want to try next time.

So, the…read moreprice for lunch for the two of us (both of us ordered the lamb kabob with two appetizers- eggplant dip and hummus) cost $100 which I think is way too much for lunch. There was also an upcharge of $4 for each of us for the barberries we had with our rice though the waitress didn't tell us this. I've been to this restaurant many times though not for a couple of years. The food is good though the pita bread served with herbs and feta with our meal tasted stale. They used to serve butter with this basket and a bigger slice of feta. I wonder why they don't serve it with the flat bread made almost daily at the market next to this restaurant? There were only 3 tables of people (including us) when we were there but at the end of the meal, we had to wait for the waitress (who was on her phone) for her to pick up our payment. We had leftovers and she brought us containers to put them in but not a bag. She seemed kind of reluctant to anticipate our needs. I'm not sure I would recommend this restaurant which makes me sad because in the past, I recommended this restaurant to everyone I knew.

Took it at home and ate the entire dish. It was refreshing and nice. I'll definitely come back to this one. I find it funny that I was told the limitations on my protein.

I especially wanted to see if their lamb shank was still the "star" from my last visit and to try their meat kabobs. So what did we order. 1) Lamb shank (2 orders): again, i believe this entree is one of the best items here. The shank is braised so well that the meat comes right off the bone without any efforts. The flavor is exceptional. it arrives on a bed of rice, hummus, greek salad, and pita bread. This is an item i would order without hesitation. 2) Chicken kabob skewers plate: 6 pieces of boneless white meat that is grilled once the order is placed. The chicken had a nice char and looked great. But the flavor was very mild and grilled a little too long which made the meat a tad dry...perhaps the chicken needed to be marinated longer for the spices to penetrate but the dryness was in preparation over the grill. 3) chicken and beef kabobs skewers plate: again the chicken was grilled a tad too long which made the pieces dry. the beef was moist and had a nice flavor. It also comes with rice and a salad. 4) mixed plate: sliced meat from a rotisserie spit on top of a bed of rice and topped with tzatziki sauce and hot sauce, hummus and greek salad. the sliced meat was a bit dry but more tzatziki sauce on the meat helped. The side salads were very basic. The pita bread is not as soft and fresh as the ones from Jayna Gyro on Alhambra blvd. But I would give 4 stars for the lamb shank and 2-3 stars for the grilled and chicken and beef kabob and rotisserie chicken sliced from the spit.

Never been to this place but heard a lot of good things. The restaurant is not super fancy, but…read moreit's very quaint and elegant. There is no TVs but there is ethnic music playing in the background so it creates a quiet atmosphere for conversation. This restaurant is family owned and run. The father & son manage the dining area. The son who was our server/waiter was very detailed oriented in describing where their food originated & was delivered from + how differently the food would taste with different cuts. I ordered the lamb & my friend ordered the chicken. This particular cut of lamb was not my favorite and I favored the chicken more so next time I dine here I will try a different cut of lamb. With the meal, they serve fresh lemons, and two types of sauces. I personally am not a rice eater however, the way the balsamic rice was prepared I ate everything that was on my plate. Except for the cut of lamb I ordered, I truly enjoyed my meal and would come back and recommend it to anyone who asks if I know of a good Greek restaurant.

This cute, little family-run place was phenomenal. Service was wonderful and attentive. Food was great. We didn't have questions, but the owner was super sweet with another couple explaining the food and offering suggestions. My husband absolutely loved the brown sauce they give you, which is housemade and similar to a bbq/steak sauce. I wish we lived closer... we would be regulars.

I tried their Greek fries, triple dip and souvlaki. All of these dishes were excellent. The service was good albeit a little on the slower side in my opinion to receive my food considering it was pretty dead and quiet when I ordered. Luckily I wasn't in a rush and honestly the freshness was worth the slightly longer wait than I'm used to elsewhere. The ambiance is alright but I honestly don't think ambiance really matters for a fast casual place like this. They had Greek music playing which added to the restaurant's theme. Normally I'm not in the downtown area on weekdays for happy hour but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it today. I'll definitely have to come back.

The kabobs are juicy, tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The rice is fluffy and pairs perfectly with the meat, while the house salad adds a fresh balance to the plate.

Everything works well together, from the flavorful meat and rice to the crisp salads. The service is good, and the atmosphere is comfortable for a casual lunch or dinner.
