My first time eating here. Ciara was outstanding 👏🏾👏🏾. She greeted us with a smile. It felt great to be greeted with such kindness. We received 5 star service from her. She was personable and enjoyable to be around. The food was good. I especially loved the grape leaves! Cute and cozy restaurant with a great vibe. The Christmas decor and music was a bonus to the atmosphere. I'm curious to see the restaurant during the other seasons. The owner/ manager was present
Pre-game munchies and cold beer, half the price of the stadium, worth the stop! Great Detroit atmosphere, delicious Gyros, like seriously tender! Well done folks, the fries, I gotta say were perfect. I try not to eat fries a lot, but when they are this good, I will even eat them cold! Beer were icy and the food was fresh! Keep it coming Greek!
We had the dip platter that was good but pricy. I had the lamb burger and it was hot and fresh with crispy hot fries. I saved the garlic aioli from the steak bites for the fries which was delicious. (I wouldn't order the steak bites again as they were a mixture of tender and chewy) My father in law got the Moussaka with peas and he said they were the best peas ever. Moussaka is kinda like a mix between lasagna and sheppards pie. Downside About $24 per $29/person with auto grat (Tips are automatic READ THE BILL SMALL PRINT)
Perfect dinner spot for a Mediterranean diet. Tzatziki sauce was fantastic. Our waiter Isaiah was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The chicken gyro was super tasty and my stepmother spoke very fondly about the Greek lasagna she had for the next few days (at least). Bonus: they have San Pellegrino!
This place is dog friendly, which is amazing, and my food that I ordered was good. HOWEVER…the service SUCKED. My friend had a COOKED FLY in her food, when she pointed out to the manager, he said “well, u guys are sitting outside, so….” Then walked away. She again mentioned it to the waitress, she just said “ohhh…do u want a new one?” My friend said no, so the waitress just took the plate. Then minutes later, she came back with the bill. No apology, nothing, didn’t even offer my friend anything to make up for the disgusting fly in her food. When my friend asked for the manager, he came back looking annoyed and said “I took 25% off, because u guys were sitting outside, the fly could flew in ur food”. My friend then explained thag the fly was inside of the rice, and appears to be cooked, but the manager just shrugged it off. As much as I loved the fact that they are dog friendly…I will definitely NOT COME BACK, and would NOT RECOMMEND.
My family of 4 went for a late lunch around 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoon (12/28). We dined in and received friendly, efficient service. My children ordered the gyro plate and lamb burger respectively and both thoroughly enjoyed it! My husband and I shared the Greek combo and enjoyed it as well! It was well seasoned and enough for both of us to share and be satisfied. Although we asked for extra tzatziki sauce, the portion sizes were nice and the food was fresh, delicious, and hot. What more can you ask for?
Excellent service, location, food, and drinks. Great place for either a private or festive meetup. Will definitely return.
I won't be recommending this place. My friends ordered a "grill for two" or something. It comes with like 3 different types of meat. The chicken came out smelling absolutely ROTTEN. When confronting the manager he said it was "fresh" four separate people smelled the ROTTEN chicken and confirmed it smelled ROTTEN. put us off our meal for sure. The replacement for that meal was suppose to be Alfredo noodles with no meat. Got charged for the noodles and the sauce separately. It was a horrendous visit.
I had the gyro bowl for the first time and thought it was really good. I've had the stuffed grape leaves and lemon rice soup several times and think this trio is my go-to order now from Athens.
The food here is absolutely unmatched. From the flavor to the quality to the service, everything was 10/10. Ali has an ability to treat strangers like family. This restaurant is unreal!! Do yourself a favor and order the Iraqi Kabob, by far the best
