The food is very authentic greek style, everything is tasty and nice. The place seems to be a family owned and the service was very good as well. Nice interesting atmosphere and would definitely recommend it!

We tried this place out tonight for dinner. Wife wanted Greek food and needed to get it to go. The platter was great. Fresh and flavorful. We also tried the hummus and liked how the pita bread was lightly fried. The kids ate all of their grilled cheese and fries and even liked the hummus. Service was fast but we ordered early since places in Tarpon can get busy after 5. We will be back.

Went to Tarpon Springs for the first time and was recommended this place by friends. It's off the "main strip", but the food is incredible and the prices are good too! Go early for the lunchtime specials. Tried octopus for the first time and it was delicious! Will def be back next time I'm in the area.

The food here is much better than on the strip. It is the best greek salad I've ever tasted....All the food is homemade. We got the platter with the moussaka, grape leaves mousaka and gyros. It was amazing!

My daughter held her 50th birthday party here. We had a private room with our own entrance. These people were so accomodating and they worked with my daughter all the way in setting it up and dedicating staff just for her. By the way there was no charge for the room. The food was excellent. The prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend.

The absolute best greek salad in Tarpon springs. Get it with the fried calamari on top; you don't be disappointed.

Wow! Delicious Greek Salad with tradition Greek potato salad at the base. Loaded with delta and toppings. The Greek chicken lemon soup was so delightful. Recommended by a friend who did not stir me wrong. Small pieces of chicken in a mildly lemon cream soup base acted as my appetizer. My main course was Keftides, Greek meat balls with boiled potato. The ground beef expertly seasoned and lightly floured and fried. You will not be disappointed with their large Greek menu and attentive staff. Prices reasonable.
