"I visited Ariana's with some friends on October 23rd. Unfortunately I don't have much good to say. When we walked in around 1PM, the restaurant was a ghost town. We were seated quickly, but upon sitting down I started to notice how dated and dirty everything was. Our booth table had a loose cushion. The table leg was propped up by a stack of napkins. The wall next to our booth had splatter on it that clearly hasn't been wiped in ages. I spotted our waiter cleaning another table, with glass cleaning spray. Glass spray on a wood table. How does management not have something as basic as a surface disinfectant or soapy water? We ordered some gyros, and some Souvlaki for our party of 4. It took over an hour to be served despite us being the only table there. The food was okay. I had lamb Souvlaki and it was cooked to a nice medium. But the plating was so unappetizing. The rice was bland. The tzatziki was downright offensive, way too minty with not enough garlic and it was clearly mayo based instead of yogurt based. Didn't even eat the pita after one bite. Stale. Won't come back. I lived in Greece for months, this is not a good spot for Greek. No idea why it's getting good reviews unless it's from people who think pepper is spicy or something."

Being Greek, I think I am pretty experienced in Greek food. Although it is not authentic Greek, it is still delicious. I am not sure where the owner is from, but he clearly put his own spin on things. Tzatziki is like nothing I ever had. The Greek potatoes again were different, too. But everything was delicious. Service was great and prices were good.

Great little restaurant. Not a lot of seating but we got seated right away at 7:30 on a Friday evening. The food was incredible, and our server was very attentive. The Greek dressing on the salad had a great blend of spices. Wasn't at all like any Greek dressing I've ever had. Rice had a great texture. Baklava had a hint of cinnamon. Nice mint flavor in the tzatziki, too.

Good food and great service! Overall a good experience. We did a takeout and the restaurant stayed open a little bit after their hours for us to pick it up. Works very well when most of the places close at 8 or 9pm. Tried Chicken Kebob, Kadu and Vegetable Sambosa. All of it delicious! Tried Kadu and Sambosa for the first time, really happy that we did. Kadu has this really nice cardamom flavor and smell. Sambosa was very flavorful and delicuous. Chicken Kabob came with flavored brown rice alongside white rice white great addition. View menu

Small, out-of-the-way, independently-owned, delightful Greek Restaurant! My husband and I found this gem on our way to NC, and I am thoroughly impressed! We had the Grape Leaves and Greek potatoes for an appetizer, then I ordered the Vegetarian sampler-BURSTING with flavor! My husband ordered the Gyro Platter-the meat was delicious, tender, and juicy. Even the rice was delicious here. The service was fast and friendly, even though we were there at closing time. We left completely satisfied, without feeling stuffed. We’ll definitely be back!

I wanted something different while out of town. This was small, quaint and quiet. I ordered 7 sisters Moscato, very good. Water. I asked the waiter for his suggestions. Settled on lamb gyro with Greek potatoes. Mind you, there were only 3 seated in the restaurant. I waited 43 minutes for my food. Patient. The waiter finally brought it, and apologized for the delay but no explanation. *perhaps they were sacrificing the lamb* It was fantastic. Beautifully presented, loving prepared. Very good amount of meat. The potatoes were perfect. I decided to get baklava to go. Not sure if I was a fluke on the delay. I might come back next time I'm here. You should go at least once.
