Our server was amazing but his bussers were not. The food is authentic and portions good for the price. Lots of oregano though. Place was bustling on an early Sunday afternoon.
Excellent food and service. Milograd was our server and answered any questions we had about the menu and was very attentive. It's a great place for a dinner date or family outing. The food is priced well and the portions are large - we had plenty to take home.
I shared the Psistaria spread trio with choice of taramosalata, tzatziki, and tirokafteri and got grilled octopus with psarosoupa (fish soup) for myself. The spread trio was definitely a great option to try out different flavors with their freshly toasted complimentary bread: rich and salty taramosalata, creamy and refreshing tzatziki, spicy and tangy tirokafteri. If I'm being nitpicky, their taramosalata were slightly too grainy. Psarosoupa provided a smooth (and definitely tasty) transition from the cold appetizer with its heartiness. The octopus was definitely the star of the show: tender, perfectly charred, and tossed in a bright, lemony vinaigrette. I also got to try some of the grilled lamb, which was so juicy and flavorful. However, I didn't eat any of the mixed vegetables side because it was too greasy.
While the food was delicious, I was disappointed with the atmosphere. They packed in so many tables that it was difficult to walk between them. The lights were bright and it was very noisy. I know this sounds crazy, but we got our food so fast, I felt like I was on an assembly line or being rushed thru the whole dining experience.
This place is consistently great! Just as good or better than any place in Greektown. They remodeled just before the pandemic--looks great! The staff is always fun, attentive, and lovely. The crowd is great! All over the place. Always a story to tell after eating here. The food delicious. Plenty for vegetarians. The skordalia (garlic and potato dip) is the best I've had. Their fish is flown from Greece. Really nice. Sea bass and sea bream both great with their sumple preparation. Their lamb youvetsi with orzo is soooo good. Their navy bean and avgolemono soups are my favorite, but they have several others! Have had almost everything on menu. Love their Fava beans and bamies (okra). Great cocktails and wines! Go to there.
I have been here a few times and I absolutely love this place! Everyone is always friendly and the service is prompt. The waiter talked to us about an upcoming trip and gave us a lot of good tips! My spouse never had Greek food at a sit down restaurant before and was pleasantly impressed. The lentil soup is a must try! We will be back.
This restaurant has great food. It is always best to make reservations before you arrive. Especially on the weekends it is jam-packed .I love the bread and the olive oil they serve. I highly recommend the roasted Greek chicken. The desert are also great . I recommend trying all of them. They also sell olive oil. I bought two bottles. The service is excellent most of the time. Even the Bad Boys provide excellent Service. the restaurant it's very clean and the atmosphere is great.❤
The food was absolutely amazing. I have had the second best lamb I've ever had at this restaurant. And I only say it's the second best cuz my wife is sitting next to me as I write this review. She is now laughing at me. All of our food from appetizer through entrees were amazing. Service was good and I would highly recommend this to anybody who loves Greek food.
