Great vegetarian options to choose from and reasonably priced for the South End. The wait staff is very pleasant and attentive. Service was also very fast. Keep in mind that they do have a time limit when seated. The one thing that I would say is a negative is that they put feta on almost everything vegetarian. I do love me some feta but I don’t think it’s necessary for 90% of what we ordered to have it as a garnish. Other than that, cute place, great staff and great food!
I expected better of this place. My friend said it was very good but the food was decent at best. I only liked one entree but I couldn’t eat as much as I wanted to because we were sharing. Food was decent and the area is very quiet and beautiful.
I normally don't rate expensive places super well, but you gotta rate it for what it is, right? We got funded for free to eat here, and literally every small plate we tried was so good. Do NOT order the weird halloumi peppers. Otherwise, everything was PERFECT. The moussaka was one of the best dishes I've EVER tried, and our server was a max chiller!
We enjoyed dinner here for the first time on Friday night. Highly recommend booking as soon as reservations are released at 7:00 a.m. the day of - I was on at 7:00 a.m. trying to book a 7:30 p.m. table inside and somebody snagged it while I was in the process of finalizing the reservation. I was able to get an 8:00 p.m. table but the reservations look like they were going quickly. They have a pretty large patio space which will come back to enjoy when there's no rain in the forecast.
We loved pretty much everything about our experience. The staff was very friendly, helpful with recommendations and on top of visiting our table and making sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was very authentic - the decor very in line with Greece and the music fairly loud.
As for the food we were blown away by how simple everything was, but cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. We highly recommend the zucchini chips, octopus, calamari, pork souvlaki and moussaka.
Great place in a nice area. Loved the food it was so delicious can't wait to go back. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend trying it out.
