Our Guestbook
“ I don't know why this place doesn't have 5 stars on Yelp. This is by far and away the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, and top three best places I've ever eaten! Tucked away in a quaint strip of shops, it's a hidden gem that I hope more people find out about so it never goes away. The pita? Made by angels. The roasted garlic hummus? Crafted by the hands of Zeus himself. The Caprese pita? I think I saw Mt. Olympus on my first bite. Do yourself a favor and just go. Now. ”
“ Excellent quality of meat very tasty. My wife loves the lemon potatoes only available here, not at Glendale location. Service was nice. ”
“ We were in the neighborhood and this café was actually just next-door to where we were going. We totally lucked out! We both love falafel's and got the falafel pita. My friend Stacey got the regular one on the menu. I got the street one substituted the gyro for falafel. So yummy. It was perfect out of the last falafel Pets. I've tried over the years. I would give this a nine and we will actually go back there. But you cannot skimp and not get the baklava cheesecake. It was heavenly. ”
“ We walked in and immediately sat down. It was not too crowded because it was not a sporting event day. We ordered the gyro pita and the caprese pita. The portion size was good and the food came out quickly and they had football on all the tv's. Both pita's were good but it was quite expensive for what it is. rate: 7/10 price: $45 ”
“ This place was good. Busy for a Saturday evening. Clean. Bar type atmosphere and sitting for enough people to really enjoy themselves. Customer service was on point. Very helpful and informative about the menu. The lamb was a bit tough but tasted great. Love the Greek fries and the sauce on them. The hummus and pita were delicious! We also ordered the spanakopita app and that was delicious as well. All in all we had a good time for dinner. ”
“ Opa!!! I Love This Restaurant! Their Menu Provides A Vast Variety Of Delicious Foods, Blending Greek, Mediterranean & American Cuisines. Their Service is Excellent & Inviting & The Ambiance Is Also Very Welcoming. If You're In Tempe, I Recommend You Give This Awesome Restaurant A Try! ”
“ I eat here quite a bit with both family and colleagues. Nice casual atmosphere with good food and outdoor seating when the weather is right. The Avgolemono soup is fabulous. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it at home because I love it. So bright and delicious. They also have a good selection of salads, bowls and classic Greek fare. The flaming cheese is fun and delicious as is the baklava cheesecake. Yum! I've always had good service and good experiences. ”
“ The food was so delicious! The chicken was seasoned and perfectly cooked.. so tender! It was my first time trying the lemon chicken soup, it was different and I don't have any complaints about it just not my favorite. The pita bread and jalapeño cilantro hummus was some of the best I've had! Lemon potatoes were tasty & creamy! We also had Tiziki sauce.. yum! The service was great! The inside was clean and they also had a nice selection of outdoor seating. ”
“ So far we've only tried the food via takeout, and it was a pleasurable experience to say the least. The staff was kind, polite, and very attentive. The food came out fast, literally probably within seven minutes of entering the door- and that's including the time we took to decide what we wanted! So we got home and everything was delicious! I had my friend do a blind taste test to see which pita I preferred (normal vs GF), as I'm really trying to stick to a GF diet without sacrificing some of my favorite dishes, and this place did not, and I mean, did not disappoint!!! I ended up liking the gluten-free pita, even more surprisingly! I'm pretty picky when it comes to gluten-free anything and they knocked this one out of the park. The only thing I can think to complain about is that I didn't get enough Taziki, and that was totally on me because the lady taking our order made an effort to come out and ensure that our order was right and showed us the food itself, walking us through what each dish was, and repacking our bag for us. Great size place with a decent size bar and multiple TVs. and cute little patio as well! Will be back for sure! Yetzi and Amanda amazing! Angie is super sweet too the owner! ”
