a month agoSuper cute place with a great menu and atmosphere. The service here is excellent - when my friend and I walked in our server asked if we would prefer they close the front door to keep out the cold air - so thoughtful! Our food arrived about 10 mins after our order, so it was very quick and tasty. Great spot with healthy Mediterranean food for an affordable price point. Loved the chicken kebabs and hummus.

a month agoSuperb value for money. The cheese fillo pastry was divine, the chicken not so much. Kebab was better than chicken pomegranate. The setting inside was cute and good for a casual dinner or even a casual date. The server was very personable. Consider getting one main portion for two as they are pretty large. Avoid the avgolemono soup (if looking for a great execution here go to Souvla). Sit inside.

2 months agoA wonderful spread of food. Dips were a great start and it was nice having pita & veggies to dip with. We got the falafel sandwich and the chicken skewers. Both were very good. Very friendly service :)

2 months agoFantastic! My first time here but wonโt be the last for sure! Ordered the Lamb Kabab to go. It came with rice, hummus, pita, and Avgolemono soup. This was the first time Iโve had that type of soup and it was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. Staff were warm and welcoming. Next time I am in Dan Francisco, Iโll be back.

3 months agoGreat variety of vegan food! Got the vegan middle eastern plate which was was pretty good just the falafel was a bit bland in my opinion. Service is so fast every time Iโve been here, staff is very friendly and always love the atmosphere inside.
