The Mediterranean breakfast is our favorite, but not had anything here that I wouldn't try again. We've been fans for years! The people are awesome. Little hole in the wall that will surprise you!

Classic deli with Greek food, good food. I've eaten here twice for the spinach pie and the first time it was mildly cold, while the second it was hot. Odd, but delicious regardless. Not much for vegetarians here sadly.

The woman working the grill today was extremely rude. She snapped my head off when I reached for napkins and asked for silverware. She just kept on being rude. so I got a box and left. I felt sorry for the one server that they had, she was working very hard with no help at the busiest time of day. I have to give it to them though, the food was AMAZING!

I went here recently and it's sad to say a small ma and pop shop is just full of rude staff. I do recommend anyone this restaurant. I try to enjoy small family owned business but I don't suggest this business. Very rude

This is another place that I've had bookmarked for a long time but only recently tried. I only wish I had tried it sooner! We came for an early lunch on a weekday. There was plenty of seating at the in between breakfast and lunch time. The service was fast and friendly. I had a modified Greek salad (no cheese), hummus, pita, and colonels potatoes. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was unusual and very different from local favorites like Yassin's and Holy Land. It wasn't my favorite but I still enjoyed it. Their pita bread is some of the best in town. But the potatoes are incredible! I would go back just for them.

Everything here was great. From the UT colors on the ceiling, to the outstanding, friendly service, and the delicious meals we enjoyed. It was our first time here, but definitely not the last!

Tasty food great service at affordable prices. Stopped by for lunch had only ever been here for breakfast before. I had chili and grilled cheese while the hubby had a Philly. There wasn't a bite left on either plate which is saying something for me when I can usually barely finish a kids meal these days. I even snagged one of his fries to dip in my chili. The servers were friendly and helped each other making sure no customers were ignored. Over all a great experience. Don't let the outside fool you. Your stomach and your pocket will love this place.

Good food at good prices. Nothing spectacular, but it’s hard to get classic diner food like this these days.
