| - I don't understand why this place isn't packed for dinner. I think the location is a little unfortunate and at first when we walked in and saw we were the only ones in there, I was a little nervous, but was quickly put at ease when I started talking to the owner.
I had to show off my Greek skills a little bit so we starting chatting in Greek and she went on how everything there was prepared by her personally, just like she would make for herself at home.
She wasn't kidding! The saganaki was to die for! The cheese wasn't too sharp, just the right about of brandy, and the pita was so soft and warm. She gave us a little scare though when she lit the saganaki AFTER it was on the table (typically that's done while they're holding it away from you to prevent any singed eyebrows - so watch out!)
The salad was fantastic, fresh veggies, the right about of feta, the dressing was not overwhelming.
My husband ordered the chicken souvlaki, my father-in-law ordered the beef souvlaki (surprised there is no pork option!) and I had the gyros platter. The lemon potatoes were just like my mom's if not better, the rice was great, and the meat across all three were decent.
We split a baklava and galactobourito for dessert, all homemade as well. I always found both to be overly sweet for my taste, but they really were prepared quite well - not too heavy or syrupy.
All that paired with a friendly host.
Will definitely be going back and as a Greek girl, I'll say, that at least for this experience, it was just like a home cooked meal.
