Good Greek food restaurant, the first time I tried it and I loved it. The restaurant is very clean, everything hygienic, good and fast service. The outside of the restaurant has a good view and atmosphere to sit and eat, and even more so if the day is sunny, it gives a nice experience. Read less

This was the best Mediterranean food here in tulsa. The spot felt homey and the food was very tasty and authentic. The s chicken and meat melt in your mouth and their rice was very well seasoned. Price is fair for the amount and quality of food. They also have a wide variety of flat breads and a couple of desserts. Will definitely come back to this place and i recommend :3 Read less

I Finally Made It—And It Was Worth the Wait I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve tried to come to this place—only to find it closed. Sundays? Nope, they’re closed. Weekdays after 3:00 p.m.? Also no-go, since I get off work at 3:30. It started to feel like the restaurant was always just out of reach, teasing me with the promise of great food but never actually letting me have any. Fast-forward two years—and yes, I said two years—and I finally made it happen. The weather couldn’t have been more miserable: cold, rainy, and windy. But you know what? That just made the promise of a warm, satisfying meal even more enticing. It was one of those days where you need something to lift your spirits, and thankfully, this place delivered. As soon as we pulled into the lot and saw it open, I was genuinely relieved. Then I saw how packed it was—and instead of feeling discouraged, I took it as a very good sign. Crowds don’t lie. This place clearly has a loyal following. We took our time reviewing the menu, trying to figure out what would make this long-awaited visit memorable. There were so many tempting options, and the menu wasn’t rushed or shallow—it had depth. We eventually settled on our picks, just as a small hiccup occurred: the register was down. But in what I’d call a real act of hospitality, the gentleman at the counter—possibly the owner—told us not to worry and to go ahead and grab a seat. That spoke volumes. Instead of making us wait or turning us away, they showed trust and genuine customer care. We found a booth and settled in. While we waited for our food, we took turns freshening up, and I have to say—I was impressed with how clean the restrooms were, especially given the foot traffic. That’s a big deal for me. Clean bathrooms say a lot about how a place is run behind the scenes. While sitting there, we noticed how relaxed and at home the regulars seemed. You could tell—this was their spot. We even noticed a few people sipping on hot tea, and I had a moment of regret for not catching that on the menu. It looked cozy and comforting, especially on a day like that. Now, the food. I went with the lamb wrap with tabouli and hummus. The bread was thicker than what I’m used to, but it was still warm, soft, and full of flavor. My wife had the chicken skewers, and my daughter tried the sampler plate. Everyone was quiet for a bit—which, in our family, means we were all busy enjoying our food. One thing that really stood out to me happened as we ate: whenever a table emptied, two women would promptly appear and clean it with care and precision. They worked in sync, like clockwork—no hesitation, no corners cut. That level of teamwork and pride in their work makes me think they’re happy to be there, which probably says a lot about the management. By the end of our meal, we were full, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. The best part? We live just five minutes away. I can see this place becoming our go-to—whether we’re grabbing a quick bite or looking for a cozy spot for a casual date night. Thank you to the staff and everyone behind this place for the great food, warm atmosphere, and that rare kind of hospitality that sticks with you. Looking forward to next time—hopefully it won’t take me another two years! Read less
