The 3 of us shared 3 appetizers and 1 entree. Very tasty selections. Of course we had some decadent Baklava and Pistachio cake. Everything was so delicious that we came back in the morning to the bakery and bought more Baklava and pastry to take back home. Definitely a restaurant to experience.

My friend and I went to lunch at noon and the place was empty which was a shame because the restaurant was lovely in all blue and white! We ordered the grilled chicken which came with salad, rice, and pita bread! Delicious and generous in the portions. We did especially loved the fluffy rice with chickpeas and spices. The chicken was grilled and very well seasoned. Best pita bread served with salad! The service however was not on point which was unusual since we were the only customers....oh, wait , one party of two arrived at the end of our lunch. Want to go back and try the saganaki! Opa!

First time dining here with friends and was very pleasantly surprised. The owner and chef, Ileus, graciously greeted us and even explained how the very delicious and tender lamb kebabs get marinated in spices that are imported from Turkey. We tried the saganaki, Greek salad, dip, trio, sardine appetizer, lamb kebob and ended with a pistachio baklava. Every item was delicious. We’ll definitely come back.

The lamb shank was 5 stars as were the cabbage dolma. We thought the falafel were too dry - they could have used a yogurt sauce. Also over-browned. Service was pleasant and not rushed. Atmosphere was generally quiet except when the two year old at an adjoining table was shrieking. Not much the restaurant could do about that. We will go back to try other dishes.

We celebrated with a party of 13 and had a lovely experience. The decor is beautiful. The food was delicious. The service was great! Easy parking in the lot across the street. We had a blast getting to know TJ, the owner. We will go back for our next family gathering for sure!
