IlkerJune 24, 2017Can't remember what kind it was but grilled fish was great. Loved the saganaki and the little show that comes with it. Baklava has cinnamon in it so not my favorite.UpvoteDownvote
Lemon chicken soup, salad with grilled chicken and homemade dressing, pastichio... Eat here as often as possible. Fresh and healthy.UpvoteDownvote- Eric AndersenApril 4, 2014Get the Saganaki Opa! — flamed at your table for extra danger! Oh and be sure to blow it out…

Diane YangAugust 23, 2013Walking by, you'd probably never think to try this place because admittedly, it's appearance isn't very impressive. But the food is great. Delightfully home-y and unpretentious.Upvote1Downvote
Jeremy KrantzDecember 16, 2015The Saganaki is flamed at your table which is fun. Gyros are tasty!UpvoteDownvote
John KassanisJune 25, 2016I'm Greek and this is as far from authentic Greek food as you could possibly get. The gyros is not a gyros, the tzatziki doesn't even have cucumber in it. The only thing that was good was the saganakiUpvoteDownvote
