    I love the Greek lady food, they might be pricey but it's worth it. My husband and I love their lamb gyros and their assortment of salads. I would recommend this location.

    OMG!!!! This was a hidden gem to me. I went in to check this place out before ordering here for the first time. A cohort of mine had a salad the day before and it looked amazing, they told me where they got it from and I had to check this place out. From the moment I walked in, I was amazed. I have never heard of, nor seen this place in all the year's I've worked in the area. Let's talk about this grilled chicken ceasar salad . It spoke to my spirit and I was delightfully satisfied with my selection. This grilled chicken was piled high as the container, over a nice bed of fresh romaine lettuce. The grilled chicken was seasoned to perfection and the chicken was also not dry. This salad is so huge that you can definitely share it with another person, or eat some now and save for later. I mean this was a good portion for the price. As I was paying for the salad, I looked over to my left and in the case I saw this cherry topped cheesecake and I immediately became excited . To know me, you'll find that I love cheesecake that has a Graham cracker crust. That being said, I had to order a slice, and omg..... that slice was thee absolute best . I took the first bite and tears begin to fill my eyes . Yes, I am that passionate about food, don't judge me ; and typically because I usually only eat cheesecake only once a year and that's for my birthday. So we'll say, I had my slice a week early this year. Altogether I spent 26.00, I really don't know how much each individual item costs, but this meal was absolutely worth the cost, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to trying more items off their menu.
