After moving here almost 6 years ago one of the things my wife and I missed the most was this great little family-owned Greek restaurant we frequented in Los Angeles. After trying a couple of places, including another here in the Ballantyne area, I was never anything but very disappointed. I have gone to Ikos 3 times now and absolutely love it. The lamb is flavored well, the flat bread used in the Gyro's tastes homemade (I am not sure if it is) and the vegetables also taste fresh. The garbanzo salad is a particular favorite.\n\nIt might be trying a little too hard as a sit-down restaurant, it seems a bit too casual for that, but its not really a big deal. Also, they utilize the drive through window of the fast food joint that used to be there such that you can call ahead, please a to-go order and pick it up from the window. So if you don't feel like tipping a server (I have always had good service), then you can take the food to go. I am sure this will continue to be a weekly lunch destination for me and also a great dinner when I need a casual option."^^ . .
