“I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. The food is amazing! Atmosphere is beautiful and the service is great. The mousakka, pastitchio, chicken kabobs were incredible. The bougatsa we had for dessert was out of this world! I really don’t think I’ve ever had a better meal than I did last night! Delicious and the owner is just delightful as well. I will definitely be back soon!“

“The food and environment is excellent. The menu is full of delicious options and I’m sure everything is stellar. We had the grilled octopus, halloumi, honey salmon, branzino, lamb youvetsi, and braised beef cubes over orzo. The pita and olive oil served for appetizers are also to die for. We went for my mother’s birthday and they treated us incredibly well. Service is fantastic and the waiters were quite attentive. The owner Eric came out to check on the guests and was patient and glad to hear we enjoyed our meal. Reservations recommended and would definitely visit again when in town.“

“4.5 ⭐️ I came here with my husband on a Saturday night and we loved it! We didn’t know what to expect. Also we pulled into a strip mall and were a little weary to say the least. Ended up being fantastic! We ordered the cold mixed platter, phyllos (beef). They give you a ton of pita lasting into the meal. I had the combo of falafel, chicken shish, rice. And he had lamb, beef shish saitain style(? Maybe misspelled). Everything was so delicious. No ‘funky’ pieces of any meat, very good portions. I liked the falafel but wish I doubled in chicken. Dessert - u would highly recommend the lava cake.The service is so friendly. Our waitress Toni was patient to explain the menu to us. And any person who helped or dropped off food was very nice.We will absolutely be back here. Also note it is BYOB. Nice atmosphere, clean and style was more upscale than I expected.“

I’d have it as my last meal.Chef Ash is sweet as pie and when you come in you’re family. He is attentive and kind and you can tell he pays attention to detail. If you happen to be there on a day he has made his famous rice pudding you’re in for a treat! My goodness! I’m getting hungry just thinking about all the wonderful things on the menu! The octopus appetizer is another mouth watering dish!I think I’ll go book a table! ?“

“I love this little place! We travel about 30 minutes to eat here about three times a year and it's always been spectacular. He usually we end up with the gyro platter cuz that's just what we know and like. But this time we tried the meat platter for two for some variety and it was outstanding! Couldn't believe how much meat there was probably could have fed three or even four people! We brought enough leftovers home for another two dinners! Everything was outstanding and it was really a great variety of all the different meats they have. Would highly recommend this place however make sure you make reservations. They are very small inside and are typically always busy unless you come way before the peak dinner hours.“

“I have been going to Grill Point about once a month for the past 2+ years, and I don't remember being disappointed a single time. I always get a lunch special, which is reasonably priced for the quantity and (especially) quality of food you get. The owners are really kind and involved in daily operations. The lunch appetizers are amazing, with options including homemade hummus, labne, and the best lentil soup I have ever had. The kebabs are tender and juicy, spiced to perfection. And the thin, Lebanese-style pita bread, which always comes fresh and warm, is to die for, hitting a sweet spot between soft and crispy. I have also tried their baklava before, and I have to give that a thumbs-up, as well!Overall, Grill Point is a hidden gem, truly a treasure of Route 9. Turn in at the U-Haul, and prepare to enjoy a truly wonderful Mediterranean meal.“

Jimmy's has always been consistently excellent with the food they have served me and my family. The service is fast and attentive and they do a good job making you feel welcome. The restaurant is nestled in a strip mall and when inside it is nicely decorated and comfortable. The Gyro platters and Mixed Grill platter are extremely good and the portion sizes are nice as well. The Lemon Potatoes are cooked perfectly and are addicting. My favorite side dish and if they come with the meals even better. The spinach rice is also highly recommended if you choose that as your side or have it with your meal. Always go back to this place as I haven't found a Greek restaurant close to them in the area.“

The Grilled octopus was cooked so perfectly we had to order an additional 2 more after we finished our original appetizers! All around the food was delicious. My friend is still raving about her stuffed chicken, she said it was light and airy not heavy at all, I remember she didn't leave any to go to waste! The ambience is very cool & they staff is super nice. Jeannette was continuously checking to see if we needed anything throughout the night. then we finished the night off with some dancing and drinks at the bar. Highly recommend and will be back!“
