in the last weekIf I could give 10 stars for service, I would. What an incredible staff. It was like I was being invited in to their home. Food was delicious and large servings for the price. Cheery outdoor area that we enjoyed on a warm afternoon. Plenty of shade. We had wraps and a gyro plate. Beef, lamb and chicken. All delicious. We will absolutely be returning anytime we find ourselves near the San Jose airport and surroundings.

a month agoA great Greek restaurant with options like salads, souvlaki plates and wraps. Not many gluten free or vegan option. I definitely recommend their Greek coffee, it comes with a small almond and raisin biscotti. Their almond cake with lemon and orange zest syrup was great as a dessert! They only use premium olives ๐ซ in their food. Do try their dips sampler. Veg moussaka was great too. The chicken souvlaki plate is also a great option( the chicken thigh was flavorful and well cooked). I suggest sitting outside as it becomes loud inside. Show stopper was their weekend special- sardines! I definitely recommend this place for Greek food lovers. Parking lot is small but street parking space available.

4 months agoVFM 5/5 This is a place mostly run by elderly folks and gives warmth and homely vibe to the place. You feel like you are taken care of here. Salmon was yummy and fresh. The kebab platter had chicken souvlaki, mutton and sausages. A bit heavy but wholesome. The gyros were huge and the fries were fresh. Overall we had a relaxed and good time. Sardines on the special was average for me.

3 months agoI recently had a fantastic experience at this Greek food establishment and was thrilled to have "discovered" it. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including more than one vegetarian option! all at reasonable prices with large portions (with this economy, yes, please!). The food had great flavor and seasoning, and the service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. I ordered: - A medium sampler with hummus, tirokaftreri (feta, metzithra, ricotta blended w/ peppers and olive oil), and melitzanosalata (Roasted eggplant whipped w/garlic, onion, parsley, roasted red pepper, herbs, vinegar and olive oil). - Briami (Vegetarian). A roasted vegetable dish featuring squash, zucchini, potatoes, and green beans in a light tomato sauce. - Combination. A variety plate featuring pastitsio, mousaka, spanakopita, & gyro with tomato and tzatziki, served with garlic fries. Please note that the establishment is located in an industrial area with limited parking. Additionally, it is closed on Sundays.

4 months agoGood wraps and dolmas! Would try other menu items in the future. Service was not as attentive as I hope but not a major issue. I did ask for extra sauce and to my surprise they charge me extra for that which was unexpected. It would have been better if they told me upfront to avoid any surprises.
