My husband and I love this place for the food alone. The garlic sauce is absolutely to die for! It's a traditional creamy Grecian garlic sauce, potato-based (though you cannot taste the potato) with lots of lemon. The inside of the restaurant is a little weird, and the service is a little...eh. We mostly do take-out now. The last two times I have called, though, they do not answer. Does anyone know if this restaurant is closed now?

The only good thing I can say about this restaurant is BYOB. The food is just ok, nothing extraordinary. The waiter was very rude. Seemed bothered whenever we asked him for something. The lady's bathroom was disgusting. Don't waste your time. Just go to Ararat

The first time this family of four has eaten there, the food was fabulous, and the prices werent bad either IF they had gotten our order right My husband and I both had the Gyro plates (Lunch Rate) very yummy! My Daughter ordered the gyro kids plate (She is 11) They brought and charged us for the adult priced menuThe only thing on the plate she ate was the meatShe hates rice didnt try the hummus and didnt touch her salad A complete waste of money! My Son ordered the chicken sandwich, Very good deal for a kid he loved it! At first he wanted to try the Greek salad, So I said 1 small Greek salad, then he cut me off and said no mom I want tomato basil soup So I told the guy okay never mind hell have the tomato basil soup. Our food arrived, we had no idea that our Daughter had been given the wrong plate and all for of us got a saladSo had no idea that the kids menu didnt have salads and he never removed the salad from the orderAND the tomato basil soup is FANTASTIC. So in short our bill was 40.00 where it should have been 32.55 I know its not that big of a deal but it is to us the way Gas prices are... So if you have a kid that looks 12 or older but is not you better speak up before you order! We have not lost faith in them though, we will return for one of the Saturday Dance nights!
