I've been coming here for years & always have a great experience. The owners are super friendly, the staff is nice & helpful, & the food is really tasty. Definitly a place I'd recommend if you want good Greek food & a relaxed vibe.
Too many carbohydrates - french fries + rice + pita! 😂 But everything tasted so good 😋👍. Of course, it depends on what you order - they also have healthy options like vegetable salad. Just a tip: ask for the dressing on the side next time so you can control how much to use 😉.
The chocolate cake was delicious 🍫🍰, & the sangria was amazing 😍🍷! My husband & I even got a little tipsy 🤪😌. Overall, great food & a fun dining experience!

I came back from my trip craving marathons!! there was a small misunderstanding with my order & they agreed to exchange it , drove back & finally I got the right order & it tasted amazing, fresh, I also love there tzatziki & salad dressing I'm craving it every single day. Thank you so so much to everyone working there ❤? you made my night!
Ça fait plus de 10 ans que je vais à ce restaurant, il était super avant, mais là ça fait deux fois que je suis déçu, l'avant-dernière fois, il avait un cheveu long dans mon Souvlaki, & j'ai remarqué qu'il y a aucune fille qui portait de filets dans la cuisine & la dernière fois les frites étaient pas fraîches & très froides & légumes pas frais très déçu je n'y retournerai plus
5 stars still don't seem to make this place enough justice. I have been going occasionally to this restaurant for about 2 years now & it just never disappoints. It is a very fair price considering the amazing quality of food they offer, the service is always top notch & not just from the waiter! The hostesses, the buss boys, I'm not sure if the people on the side of the main door are cooks but even them! you can tell everyone puts love & effort into bringing a good experience for the customers! The waiter that has served me the most so far I unfortunately do not know his name but he is the sweetest, most attentive waiter ever!! But I really have nothing bad to say about any of the staff, the waiter with the tattoos is super nice as well, the waiter with the great hair I know you know who you are ahahah you are awesome as well!! I won't forget to mention the girls at the cash whenever I decide to go express, always a smile on their face & super sweet as well, anyway!! Top notch staff, top notch food would recommend 1000000%

The food was as good as usual. The service was as usual, spot on perfect. The only thing is the noise level, a little too loud for me. Overall the best souvlaki anywhere.
Ne soyez pas claustrophobe. J'ai trouvé le service un peu long aujourd'hui, y'avait beaucoup de monde. La nourriture était excellent & abondante comme toujours. Don't be claustrophobic. I found the service a bit slow today, it was very busy. The food was excellent & plentiful as always.
