A few blocks off the beaten path but worth the walk. The food is amazing. I haven't had anything bad there ever. They also have karaoke nights, trivia and live music. It simply a fun place to eat great food, wind down and enjoy some local flavor

Real Greek and affordable...a locals favorite. The ambiance is not the best (like getting served wine in water glasses), but the quality of the food is too good to miss.
