Customer Reviews

Great experience, will come back. We came by late on a weekday, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We sat outside, where it was easy to talk, and the sound of cars was not in any way disruptive. I liked the cultural style and interior design of the place as well. The food was very good, although I would say that the chicken was slightly over-cooked (not uncommon). Good overall experience!

The moment you walk in you are met with an atmosphere of culture, music, and a home feeling. This restaurant is amazing, the staff is always greeting us with a genuine smile and the food is always cooked fresh. The waiter was just enough involved to help out but also let us enjoy our alone time. The patio sitting is great, aside from the cars passing by, the sitting makes you feel like you're in another zone. Highly recommend it if you're looking for home style fresh food!

Super delicious food made fresh to order. The $6 lunch gyro is unbeatable. Large portions and extremely delicious. Very kind owners as well. For dinner, I highly recommend the chicken kabob plate.
