| - A work colleague suggested we check out this resto because we love Greek food. We stopped in on a Friday night after work before heading to a movie.
We heard the portions were huge, so we avoided ordering appetizers. My husband had the kleftiko with a Greek salad side. The lamb (kleftiko) was delicious, probably the best I've tasted. The salad and other sides were average. My husband's version of Greek salad is tastier.
I ordered the spanakopita. It was fantastic - even better than the one I make myself. It had a great flavour. The only downside is that it seemed to have been reheated, not made 'fresh'. I had the lemon rice soup, avoglemono, which came with the meal. It was good, with big chunks of chicken, but I missed the lemony tang I expected, and I felt it was not enough flavour for me and it had a bit too much rice, which I didn't finish.
The roasted potatoes were good as well, but not enough lemon flavour for my palate. I agree with other reviewers, the entree veggies are not good enough for a restaurant meal. My green beans tasted over-cooked and tough at the same time, and were bland.
We didn't order anything but our main dishes because we didn't want a 'huge' meal but it still felt like a lot of food. I almost wish they would provide smaller portions, especially of the sides.
We plan to go back because the spanakopita and the kleftiko were so tasty. I'd like to try the moussaka and an appetizer next time.
Our waitress was friendly and helpful, if a bit 'rough around the edges' - leaving used plates on the table, etc. The atmosphere is better than expected for how it looks from the outside. I would recommend this to friends looking for a mid-priced, value-added meal (if you like a LOT of food). The food came very fast, so it was perfect for a movie night.

Question: Why charge restaurant prices for cooked from frozen or reheated foods?
