★★★★☆ 4.0 Jonathan · Aug 2025

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant truly feels like a little piece of Greece in NYC. The service was good. Our server was friendly and recommended the weekly deal which was hard to pass up! For just $30 per person, you get an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The avgolemono soup was absolutely phenomenal. Very comforting and perfectly balanced with lemony notes that tied all the flavors together beautifully. The tyrokroketes started off delicious however, the aftertaste was a bit strong. If kefalotyri was one of the cheeses used, that would explain the sharpness. While not my personal favorite, it was still enjoyable overall and the dip made it much better. The lamb chops were outstanding, perfectly marinated and full of flavor, pai

★★★★☆ 4.0 Gizem Nacir · Apr 2025

I came here with my husband and we had a good time. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was smooth. The fries and feta pie were definitely the stars—so tasty and well prepared. The only letdown was the bifteki and chicken skewers, which were both pretty dry and overcooked. I’ve had the gyro here before and it was delicious, so I’ll probably stick with that next time.

Amazing little spot in Midtown east, you step in and it’s like being in Greece. Perfect for a date or with friends. I was here for restaurant week and it did not disappoint, the menu for dinner was $30 and it exceeded our expectations. The portions were big and we liked everything. Special mentions: cheese croquettes and the mains (a whole branzino, perfectly cooked and seasoned and lamb chops). We also got a couple of wine glasses and since I got a pine wine the waiter was very thoughtful and let me try it before pouring the full glass in case I didn’t like it. Overall a very nice dinner and I would definitely go back!
