Super satisfying Greek meal to have in the middle of a road trip, highly recommend. Generous seasoning, crispy falafel, and JUICY grilled chicken that I stole off my boyfriend’s plate. A little salty without a beverage, but overall really great. The owner appears to be handling everything himself and while the floor might gather some dust, the essentials are done excellently: yummy food, clean seating and tables, humble but well stocked bathroom. Definitely coming back next time we’re in town!

My best friend recommended this place and I was shocked to see a score of 4.8 with 49 of 50 reviews being 5 stars (the one review that gave this place 1 star can't spell basic words and also gave a McDonalds 5 star rating... so their review doesn't really count to me). Anyway, this is fresh quality homemade style Greek food that you'd get at a Greek festival or a Greek friend's house. It is awesome and reasonably priced. The owner, George, is very friendly and generous. My family shared the Moussaka plate, a Gyro plate, a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, two Spanakopita and Baba Ghanoush. Everything was excellent! I already can't wait to go back here.

Absolutely amazing! They cook everything fresh and it’s absolutely cooked to perfection and delicious. Very nice married couple own it. It’s just them at the moment so order ahead if you’re in a hurry. Our food came pretty quickly but if there was a line it may take a bit. Let me tell you it’s well worth it. My boyfriend got the garlic chicken sandwich with fries and LOVED it. I am vegetarian and tried the grilled veggie kabob platter. The seasoning on the veggies is mouthwateringly good. Kabob plates come with rice, a small portion of green salad and homemade hummus dip and pita bread. I got a small side of tzatziki. That tzatziki is hands down the best. Fries, rice, salad, all delicious. Owners take pride in getting traditional spices from overseas, organic veggies whenever possible and opt to pay a bit more for the right kind of produce that is flavorful and let me tell you as a foodie I can certainly taste and appreciate the difference it makes! Wonderful people, wonderful food, go and see them or door dash them! Don’t forget the baklava when you do. This is no ordinary baklava I promise you. I don’t even typically like baklava but this stuff is nothing short of magical!

Just go here. We debated on going here for weeks before we finally tried it. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE WAITED. The short version is we're big fans of Greek food and we have a new favorite restaurant. The longer version is this, the food is amazing, you can taste the love in it. The two dishes we got were very different but both were incredible. We are already planning a second trip back tomorrow. The portions are huge. Between the meal and the baklava, I couldn't finish everything and I eat alot. Give this place a try and you'll be very happy.

Thiis small restaurant offers good, fresh, authentic Mediterranean style food made by the friendly owner himself. Hamburgers are also made fresh, if you prefer American-style food. Available for dine in or takeout.
