"We decided to share several appetizers, and each one was wonderful. We started with Tirokafteri ($8), a spicy feta dip that was absolutely delicious. It was creamy with just the right amount of heat. We wished it had come with pita instead of some rather ordinary bread, but the dip itself was fantastic. Next up was the Feta Psiti ($14), a filo pastry stuffed with feta, topped with sesame seeds and a drizzle of honey. It was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted—so scrumptious that I can't wait to order it again, and next time I won’t be sharing! The Gigantes ($13) featured large lima beans baked with tomatoes and garlic, resulting in a creamy and flavorful dish. The Kolokithakia ($19), a simple yet striking dish of fried zucchini, was perfectly breaded and fried to a crisp. Light and incredibly tasty, it came with Tzatziki and earned its reputation as one of their best-selling dishes. To complete our meal, we shared a Horiatiki salad ($16), which was also delightful, with capers adding a nice touch. The service was friendly and attentive, with great recommendations throughout our meal. I can’t wait to return to what has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in town. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food, and they offer an extensive wine list alongside a menu that caters to even the pickiest eaters. Just be aware that the inside can get a bit crowded when busy, so making a reservation is the best way to enjoy your visit."

The zucchini chips are to die for! All the other dishes were also really good. The waiters are really nice and there is a lot of outdoor seating (the inside area is pretty small). Recommend trying the wine too.

Finally got the chance to see what all the hype was about and it sure did live up to its expectations! Came here to celebrate my birthday and everything from service to food was amazing! The grilled octopus absolutely took me by suprise! I can’t wait to come back?

Great place that I had been meaning to try for so long. Prices are normal for the area albeit still expensive but the food, ambiance was worth it!Pictures here are the zucchini chips (5/5), lamb meatballs (4/5), octopus (4/5), and cauliflower (3/5). I’d get everything again except the cauliflower it wasn’t bad at all I would just want to try something else. View menu

Because food and atmosphere and wait service continues to be good I will give it a 4 star but am certainly tempted to minus one due to the hostess. She made us wait for a while for a 2 top because she adamantly said the 4 top was only for two people. After we sat down she seated a two person on a 4 top. Why do hostess do these things to customers is puzzling.

This is likely my favorite restaurant in the South End! I can’t stop thinking about going back. The food is absolutely delicious, with everything being fresh and flavorful. The staff is incredibly friendly and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The vibe is always lively and enjoyable. We ordered the zucchini chips, chicken skewers, and the horiatiki, and I can't wait to return!

This restaurant is a staple with excellent food and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the zucchini chips and lamb keftedes. However, I noticed that most of the tomato-based dishes tasted quite similar, which diminished the variety and excitement of the meal—I'm not sure if they use the same sauce for all the dishes. The cauliflower was unexpectedly very spicy, which took me by surprise. As for the cheese, it was just okay, and I probably wouldn't order it again. View menu

One star down for the value (pricey), but lovely nautical themed space to enjoy a variety of Greek small plates. We arrived 6p on Wednesday without a reservation and were able to get a window table. I am glad they hold walk in spots everyday despite the small space! They told us we could have the table for 1 hour and we expected someone to kick us out on the dot, but they didn't approach us until close to the 1.5 hour mark. Food: zucchini chips goes without saying! iman surprised us! roka salad I was hoping for more of the pears and nuts chicken skewers felt dry to me but my friend really enjoyed it lamb meatballs portion size was way too small for the price baked shrimp also small portion s...

Flavorful Greek food, just really pricey. My partner is Greek and just came back from 2 mos in Athens and said everything tasted very authentic. We had the zucchini chips, roka salad and baked feta to start zucchini chips were delicious in the tzatsiki and fried to perfection. Salad was okay, very light on the halloumi and pears, would skip this. Feta was tasty but this is something you can easily make at home. For mains we got the moussaka and mixed grill with a side of lemon potatoes. The moussaka was the star, the beef was so flavorful and the topping was so light and fluffy. The loukaniko and lamb chop were my fav for the mixed grill, but for close to 50 there wasn't a lot of meat, I wou...

"No soup/sandwich shop compares in terms of price per quality, portion size, and different options in the area. I only started ordering from here about 2 weeks ago and I’ve now had 7 different kinds of soups and 4 different kinds of sandwiches after the first order I started ordering two soups and a sandwich aka a soup to save for later because they’re just that good, every one of them. Price is so very reasonable and depending on which combo you get you can make out with a full sized sandwich and large sized homemade soup for $14.While it’s hard to recommend one thing over another in this circumstance since it’s all been great in their own ways, the Chicken Chowder is something I plan on getting a quart of next time it’s available. The Chicken Barley and Chicken Lemon Rice are ones I plan on getting quarts of in the future as well, and that’s not to discount the Chicken Noodle, Beef and Veg Noodle Stew, French Onion, and the current seasonal Chilled Gazpacha (which I probably wouldn’t have even tried it wasn’t from these guys . It’s all top quality.The Chicken Tarragon sandwich is my favorite in terms of sandwiches although it can’t combo with a soup as of now (please let us! . The best cheap soup combo sandwich is a tossup between the Cilantro Tuna and Ciabatta Sandwich, which are both incredible in their own ways.The only few drawbacks to this place are they don’t have every soup they make every day, are only open until 4PM, and aren’t open on the weekends. That said it’s worth it to plan accordingly for this. I never review anything but this place is worth it it’s the best if you’re a soup and sandwich person like I am."
