Excellent food with a great atmosphere. My waitress, Aubrey, was wonderful. She also sings while she works and has a FANTASTIC voice. She should be doing nightly entertainment at the restaurant. Had the Charcuterie board, which was amazing

Stopped in for lunch a few days ago. The lamb shank was the daily special, and even though it's a dinner item they were able to rustle up one for me for lunch. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and moist. The rice was wonderful, really liked the spices. The carrots were very over-done, to the point of being mushy. Flavor was great, just overdone. My wife had the gyros sandwich which is always wonderful here. She really liked the flavor of the onions, whatever kind they are they're great! The place is pretty quiet once the snowbirds are gone, but that just means no waiting for us year-rounders!

We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in and given a choice of seating. The restaurant is old, but very intriguing and very clean. The menu has a good choice of items at reasonable prices. I am gluten free however and didn't notice anything with that designation. I ordered the Greek salad with gyro meat. It was HUGE!!! Such delicious, moist, tender, flavorful meat. Lots of feta cheese as well as olives, cucumber , onion, tomato and taziki sauce with an Italian? Dressing on the side. There was so much meat (beef and lamb combined), there was no way I could eat it all, but took a box home. The friendly waitress also kept an eye out and refilled our drinks as needed. My husband had a delicious hamburger and onion rings ( of which about 1/2 went in my box!!). I'm pretty sure we will return and bring some friends!

A Saturday afternoon, and getting hangry. Tried another place in town, and couldn't get any service. Drove right over here, was Welcomed and seated right away and placed orders. We both knew what we wanted, in a Greek restaurant, gyros! Very pleasant waitress brought our gyro dinners which included a large serving of good gyro slices, a mound of rice, a smaller mound of very tasty carrots,and a nice little salad. Service was let's say, relaxed! We don't mind waiting for freshly made food. Everything was tasty, ample and pleasing. Old school ambience fitted the small town atmosphere. Living in Queen Creek, it's an easy drive, and worth it. We will be returning.

We went to St Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery and this restaurant was the closest place to eat. I'll give them 4.5 stars for food, service and ambiance! Only took one photo because I was too busy enjoying myself! Thank you for a great dining experience- Nicoletta you're awesome!!!

Ok, it's in the middle of nowhere. But the gyros and service were really good. The restaurant was packed. Even parking was challenging and for good reason. The food was good. For lunch had the Greek salad with gyro meat. Even included dalmades. Very flavorful and the gyro slices were thick and substantial. Brought home a gyro platter for dinner. The salad was good, gyro was very good, rice ok, the vegetables were meh. So 4 instead of 5 stars. But I will return.
