"I am so happy my wife and I decided to come here for dinner. The food here is so authentic and the owner who I hope you have the pleasure to meet is such a wonderful person. My wife and I love to share so we ordered the Seafood platter which comes with the grilled octopus, we also ordered the assorted cold dips and the saganaki. If you ever had saganaki you will love the presentation and once again very authentic I can't express that enough. Every bite was amazing I felt like if was eating at a restaurant in Greece. The food, the atmosphere and the amazing host you will not be disappointed. Also, you have to try the homemade sangria's it just puts it all together. To our fantastic host Adom thank you for your hospitality and your very delicious food. We had such an amazing time and what's even better is now we don't have to travel to Manhattan or to Astoria anymore when we want to have an authentic Greek meal. This is definitely my new favorite place... We will be back very soon!"

The food was good, but it arrived later than I expected and wasn't hot, probably due to Grubhub.

Incredible homemade Greek cuisine featuring fresh seafood. The appetizers, desserts, and main dishes are all outstanding. The staff is warm and inviting. All in all, it was a wonderful first experience. Thank you!

The grilled calamari is my favorite dish on the menu and is cooked to perfection every time. A close second is the Paphos Island salad, which is essentially a Greek salad but with even more ingredients. I always rate it a solid 10/10!

Nick gave us the BEST service made our dinner extra memorable. We live in Los Angeles but we will definitely be back every time we are in town! Thanks again Nick!

WOW! We came here last night for our 9 year anniversary because we were in the mood for Greek food. Our dinner was outstanding. We got the Seafood platter which had grilled octopus, squid and shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. The lemon potatoes were also some of the best I ever had. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some good seafood. Prices are very reasonable.

I had COMPLETELY forgot about this place until I was looking for high rated restaurants off of Morgan Ave. I used to live around the corner and would stop in here occasionally for a quick bite after work. This place was incredible. The service was on point and I remember the owner always greeting and chatting with each table. I’ve spent two months in greece and this food absolutely took me back to my short time there. So delicious I will be back soon! : View menu

I enthusiastically recommend everything on the menu! The only item I didn't sample was dessert, but that's just because I was too full to eat another bite. I certainly plan to come back and try it! For my appetizer, I had the grilled octopus, and for my main course, I enjoyed the lamb kabob with fried potatoes. The meat was exceptionally tender and packed with flavor. My mother had the lamb chops with lemon potatoes, which were also incredibly soft and tender. I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant—it's officially my favorite place!

"When we called to reserve a table, no one informed us that there was a dining time limit of 1.5 hours. My friend wanted to invite more people to join us for dinner, but I was unsure if everyone would agree to the minimum charge of $60, including taxes and tips. I confirmed a reservation for 7 people during my second call, but ultimately, only 6 of us showed up. The table we were given was quite small, making it uncomfortable for six people, especially with the mandatory minimum spending of $60, as well as a 20% tip. For just two people, the minimum tip is 18%. I was confused about the dining time limit—was it two hours or 1.5? The party area was limited to just the backyard for additional seating. I was with friends who didn’t know the group well, and we arrived early at 3 PM, but we couldn’t wait until 6:30 PM. That’s why we ended up sitting at a separate table for two. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t seem to care and couldn’t arrange for us to be seated closer together. We had no choice in the matter. To make matters worse, the female waiter had a poor attitude. It felt like we were dining in a sidewalk market. She questioned another girl who served me ponzu sauce, apparently because I looked impatient when I saw her face. Her attitude only worsened after that. It seems like they need to train their employees better, as they seem unaware of how to provide good service. As for the food, it was just okay, typical of basic Japanese cuisine. There were too many restrictions! Customers are forced to adhere to the restaurant’s rules and limitations. I cannot recommend this place unless someone is specifically looking for a fast-food experience. In short, I don’t think I’ll be returning next time."
