    Great food, great service, the staff here really get the job done. Everyone’s helping busing tables bringing food making sure that the clientele are happy. The best Greek meal we’ve had ever, don’t miss the baklava.

    We ordered the Yiayia’s Feta Chicken and it was made fresh and delicious! It came out hot and juicy. Of course for dessert there Baclava which never disappoints. Our server Adam was fabulous. The place was busy and standards were consistent! We go back every time. Thank you!
