    The food is excellent! I've been a long time customer. The service was off tonight. Customers that arrived 15 minutes after us were being served before us, breakdown in communication about what we ordered and some of the servers were hustling while others were chatting with each other & looking at their phones despite a busy dining room with others, including us, waiting quite awhile to have our plates cleared and water refilled.

    Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!

    Amazing food! So fresh and full of flavor! Lamb was tender and falling off the bone. Rice was fragrant and smoky. Caramelized onions gave it a great sweet flavor while their spicy sauce gave it just the right amount of heat! Wow! I will be coming back!
