Server was useless. My chicken was supposed to be boneless. When it showed up on the bone, I questioned the server. He gave us an answer that didn't make any sense. I could tell I wasn't going to get anywhere. A large bottle of water was on the table when we were seated. We asked about that and the server said it came from Greece. When he said it cost $8, we told him to remove it from our table. The final problem came when the owner came up to us and said we had to leave because they wanted to go home.

Used to be great... Now they never seem to be open. Looks like they are in a catch 22. Can't make enough when they are open, so they open less and now probably making even less...hope they can turn it around. Perhaps bring back an actual lunch menu and not force people to buy dinner portions for lunch. Also if someone needs water give them a glass, don't sell them a bottle... It makes you look so classless.

My family has ordered takeout from this establishment for many years. I can fondly remember the hot pita bread and tasty salad.However tonight, we decided to eat in. We got inside and discovered there was nobody really around, just us. Okay. Quiet but fine.We were seated, then the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink. When my aunt asked for tap water (since she knew about their odd water bottle preference) the waiter just said over and over "it's store policy, only bottled water." Okay. Weird. So I just grit my teeth and had a bottled water.But then I asked for a gyro. I had ordered it in store before. Our server then says "gyro is takeout only. Store policy." Huh? What? I asked him why, because I was curious... Were they unable to sell gyro meat after lunch?The server just repeatedly said "it's store policy" again, before the lady in the kitchen started yelling at him in Greek. It was all very, very awkward and I just wanted to know what was going on- I was totally okay with ordering a different entree, but really, why continue to say "store policy" and not give a reason?Further more... it says gyro meat is available for additional cost for the salads on their dinner menu. Something isn't right about this but okay.Thankfully the food was good. But service was not. The waiter never really checked up on us. When it came time to package our meals and get the check, he set down the containers and started walking away like he had to run for the hills, all while my poor mother tried to ask him for a smaller container!A gratuity charge was put on the bill, and I didn't see any note about party size factoring that charge anywhere on the menu, so I could have missed something. But we were a group of 5... isn't the charge for 6+?All in all, it really seemed like the waiter was desperate for us to leave. I spotted what seemed to be the owner sitting in the front of the house, BLARING TikToks while waiting for us to leave. Really, dude?Either way the food was good, but we're not coming back to dine in. If you're gonna run a business-- you can't rely on ONLY your food to get you through. You have to actually train your employees to smile, to be accommodating. And based on other reviews, clearly this is falling on deaf ears since the server is a repeat offender.Just focus on takeout, fellow consumers.

Just awful! We had a party of 10 and needed to place an order while away on vacay. And the owner turned us away, “sorry we closed early”. No rhyme or reason. Why don’t you update your website and your hours to reflect that you close when you want.

The food is AMAZING!! we live right around the corner and order takeout frequently. I will say they are not the friendliest people and have terrible bedside manners but the food is delicious which is why we still continue to support this business. I actually have never sat in the restaurant for service so maybe it would be different. The gyros and hummus are too die for, my fiancé is obsessed with the Lamb - Kleftiko.

I’m giving this place 5 stars since the food was outstanding. My mother’s family was all Greek and I grew up with Greek food and this place reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. Very authentic and very good.

So fresh and delicious! The chicken kebob was flavorful and came with the perfect amount of food. The tzatziki was the best I’ve ever had!

I have been ordering out ( dining in) as well for a few years. I absolutely love Greek food! I would have to say that this is my favorite Greek restaurant. They are a Mom and Pop restaurant. They are so friendly, and dedicated to their customers and go above and beyond. Food is always fresh and hot. Katie loves you guys thank you!! Give them a try! This is why I keep coming back.

8 people had dinner for a bill over $430.00.The owner put 20.00 extra on our bill because in addition to us all ordering salads and apps-we SHARED 2 whole fish.We were not given extra set ups, no extra vegetables….not even an extra dinner plate.We complained to the owner/she did not care.So tonite they lost 8 local customers!Beware- no matter how many apps you order-if you share dinners-you’ll pay an additional 10.00 per entree.

My wife and I absolutely loved the food and how lovingly it was prepared. We found the atmosphere nice but the decor inside a bit dated. For a real Greek decor (We are Greek btw) I would recommend the walls be painted white and the wood trim blue (Greek blue) the curtains and the light fixtures are gorgeous. The floor doesn't need any change at all it would go beautifully with the scheme I am proposing. Finally we noticed there is an nice outdoor seating area which if revamped with new tables, chairs and umbrellas would be stunning with a few more of the beautiful potted plants you already have.All in all we enjoyed our experience immensely and would highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious home cooking and family atmosphere

The chicken kabob was so tough I could hardly eat it…. And the rice was honestly disgusting. When I politely complained, the owner came to my table and yelled at me… loudly! She said her food was delicious! It was a Saturday night at 6:30pm and most of the tables were empty. The salad was so dry that we asked for extra vinegar, which they charged $2 for. I asked for water… but they brought bottles. He explained that they will not serve tap water. So it is $3 water or nothing. There are literally hundreds of better restaurants than this… please… go to one of them. Or you too can deal with the most obnoxious owner ever!! By the way, this is a picture of the cobwebs over my table! Ugh.
