"Went on a Friday evening. Outside seating only. The back of the restaurant had a big screen set up for the Laker game. And was packed. It was a really cool environment. So we sat in the front. The atmosphere was great. Low lighting, and comfortable. I would give the food a 4 to 4.5. Ordered the feta fries $7 The fries were tasty and hot. Reminded me of McDonald 's fries. The feta on top was legit. I 've never had feta like this. It was grated over the top of the fries. Super smooth cheese.. not what I usually buy from Costco. It was super tasty. Also ordered the Soujouk empanadas.$7 Cheese and sausage inside. It was small and was ok. I wouldn 't order them again. Very small Also we ordered the combo for 2 $30 A huge plate of rice Pilaf with a skewer of marinated chicken , lule (ground beef with spices and stake pieces. All if it was very tasty and cooked well. Very flavorful. A little pricey I thought for 3 skewers and a huge plate of rice. But it was enjoyable. It came with a tiny side of garlic paste mix. This made the meal. It was good. It was such a small amount though. Very garlicy. Here 's the dilemma. The service was absolutely terrible. The young lady that was assisting us was very nice and polite but literally gave us Zero attention. First we stood around for a while and had to go find someone to ask to be seated. When she sat us, she didn 't come back to take our drink order for 15 minutes (she never brought our drinks out . Then another 10 minutes or more to take our food order. It was then I asked again for our drinks. The appetizers were brought out and we pounded the small portion of ketchup pretty quickly... we waited for a bit and finally flagged her down for more ketchup... she never came back with the ketchup. So as the fries sat and got cold we decided to eat them without ketchup. About 10 minutes later when the food came out she brought the ketchup that we no longer needed. After we finished eating... we sat for another 20 minutes before she came back and asked us if we needed anything (this was a first!!! . We asked for a box for our leftovers and waited about 10 minutes for the box. Then asked for the bill. We waited for another 20 minutes before i got up to go and find her. Waiting all of this time seemed like an eternity when this is your first night out in a few years and have a sitter watching the kids at home. Finally found her and she handed us the bill that she had on her. To my surprise I noticed an extra charge for a few dollars for an additional sauce we asked for at dinner. It 's like being charged for more ranch or ketchup. I was so frustrated. We paid the bill and left. The sad part was the girl was very apologetic the entire time. Admitting to us every time she saw us that we were not getting any service and that she would make up for it. We had plans to eat dessert. But we didn 't. Never got the opportunity to even ask. And was never asked if we wanted any. Our service was so poor and the server was very aware of it that I bet my wife she would bring us a free dessert or something to apologize. I lost the bet! We did not even get a refill on our drinks that we finished early on while eating our meal. In our frustration we decided to just get dessert somewhere else. Over 2 hours later we were finally leaving!!! The place we planned on getting dessert was closed!!! I feel like I 'm being generous with the 3 stars. To give the owner credit for the good food and atmosphere but negative stars for the service. The food was good, but not worth it with the serve we received! Will not be going back."

The food is excellent, the customer service is outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable. The only downside is that it's a bit dark inside; a little more lighting would be nice.

In my view, this is the top spot for Mediterranean cuisine in Rancho Cucamonga. Everything from the entrees to the Greek salad is outstanding. I'm always craving their chicken Greek salad—it's incredibly delicious! I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't already.

I know it's during COVID, but on a Thursday night (which was incredibly slow) the service was bunk average and the simplest drinks took almost 45 minutes to get to my table of 5. My food was cold when it arrived. Food we cancelled still arrived. I had high hopes but it was a HUGE disappointment. View menu

We went out for dinner and drinks on Friday night, marking our first outing amidst all the current chaos. I'm pleased to say we had a wonderful experience! The drinks were excellent, the food was delicious, and our server, Ashley, was fantastic with a lovely personality. We will definitely be returning!

Came here on a date night and the laker game was on! (Score) The beef kabob plate was so good the meat was very tender and marinated just right, we got the cheese and chorizo empanadas and while they are not like the Mexican empanadas as far as the dough they did not disappoint! The drinks were presented so beautifully and tasted like heaven! We will definitely be making this place a regular date night dinner spot.
