    I'm not sure how to rate this place because our experience was SO bizarre. I'm choosing to give 3 stars because the food was AMAZING - delicious, fresh, and beautifully-plated: 5 stars! However, the service was odd to nonexistent, so 1 star. Average = 3 stars.

    I'm not sure if we arrived during a private event, as there were no signs indicating such, but the restaurant, which is essentially one large room, was nearly filled with men playing cards and drinking alcohol that they'd brought in with them. They all appeared to be Greek, so that's a good sign of a ethnic restaurant! They'd rearranged the tables, leaving a few in the middle. My husband & I walked in and up to the counter before we realized that this was not a standard open late restaurant (we got there at 8:45). The menu was clear, with photos & prices listed. A worker came to the cash register and asked what we'd like to order. It was hard to hear/understand over the noise from the card players, but we placed the order, and told the worker that it was dine-in (probably should have thought that through a bit better). He took the order but we didn't pay at that time. He waved a hand toward the dining area and said, "Have a seat." We found an empty table (and I mean EMPTY - there was absolutely nothing on it) and sat in the middle of the room. I admit that I felt very awkward, being the only woman in a room chock-full of men drinking, and reeking of cigarette smoke (they smelled so strongly that I looked around several times because I could have sworn that someone was actively smoking in the room).

    After sitting there for 10 minutes with no attention whatsoever, my husband asked if I wanted to leave, but I felt that we'd invested too much time to leave..and I was hungry! Thankfully our food was delivered after 20 minutes or so, and it was gorgeous! The servings were generous - enough for 2 meals - and the food was fresh and flavorful. The server, upon giving us the plates, grabbed silverware, a napkin server, and a bottle of ketchup from a nearby table, plunked them down on the table, asked us if we needed anything else, and left, and that was the last service we received! No water, no checking on us, nothing. When we finished, my husband went up to the counter to ask for to-go containers and to pay the bill, as the raucous card-playing continued on around us.

    Several other customers came in while we ate, but they were all carry-out orders. The restaurant was clean & in good repair; it was just the service/atmosphere that was so bizarre! I'd not hesitate to go there again, but I'd order ahead by phone & get carry-out!

    Great food, authentic, decor isn't much though.

    Excellent! These have to be the best gyros and pita I've ever had. The salad and tzatziki sauce were full of cucumber, and the fries are soooo good. I'm definitely coming back.

    Best Greek in the area. Better prices and portions than competition. Every meal has been fantastic.

    One of the best greek restaurants I've been to. Will definitely be back. Picture doesn't do it justice.

    Huge sandwich for 5$ and tastes great. Come out quick and were very friendly and professional
