The meat is described as well cooked on the grill, with standout tzatziki, fresh salads, and a house dressing that many find delicious. Service is generally fast and friendly, contributing to a lively, family friendly atmosphere, though a few reviews note it can be noisy or busy and occasionally service slows down. Some comments mention changes to the bread, extra charges for tzatziki, or variability between visits, but overall the food remains fresh, satisfying, and consistently high quality. The restaurant is seen as a go-to for authentic Greek staples and has a longstanding reputation as a reliable favorite in the area.
Great food like always. Went here at least 15 times & it's great every time. The food is tasty & well made, meat is juicy. The food is totally worth the price. The employees are patient & helpful & really nice. The only downside is the parking that is small & it takes time to find a parking spot (be careful because people may scratch your car) but overall great place.
The place is overall good , the atmosphere is not great, clean but feels like a cafeteria then a cozy greek restaurant, staff are respectful & attentive overall, the food is also overall good ( had the chicken pita & Calamari), the quantity is not at all generous, normally if it is high price like that it is justified by the large quantity served, not the case ( they must either reduce the prices or at least give a nice generous quanity & not skimp on ingredients) , I am often at other greek restaurants & others in general & I do see higher prices like that but it is always justified at least by much larger quantities, the greek salad is very small & you feel they are skimping on some ingredients e.g. papers & the feta cheese is so thin & almist any olive oil & literally one olive & it is spread thin across the plate to fill plate space, the pita was good on the other hand, the chicken is nice & well marinateand & the tatzeki was very good as well. The Calamari was good but also small quantity for the price. Conclusion it is too expensive for what it is.

Been going there since Day one, I don't mind the price increase things go up, BUT when I take home a Chicken Pita & it a mini amount of meat, this is a problem, I was thinking of calling but why waste my time.
Been eating here in over 30yrs. Something has changed with the tzatziki. It's not as salty or garlicky. 3 times in past 2mths so it isn't just a "bad batch". Pretty disappointing 😕 other than that it's great but the tzatziki main thing....
Portion généreuse & gentil service, tout est beau dans ce restaurant à part l’odeur qu’on ressent quand on rentre & quand on sort, du probablement aux produits chimiques qu’ils utilisent pour désinfecter ou du au drain de plancher.
Pour un samedi soir, l'attente fut plus que raisonnable. Les entrées étaient excellentes mais les aubergines n'avaient pas ce croustillant recherché. Les plats étaient copieux & apétissants, & malgré mon gros appétit, j'ai agité le drapeau blanc avant la fin. Toutefois, nous nous sommes gardés une place pour les délicieux désserts.
En conclusion, ce restaurant n'est pas rempli pour rien.
