"It's my third time coming here and I always love coming! Me and my mom came last week. We didn't get them this time but the stuffed grape leaves this time, but they are delicious! This time me and my mom got the Alibaba which was delicious especially because we couldn't decide between gyro and falafel. I recommend. I do think it could use something because it just tastes like they should be something maybe tzatziki. I don't know. Otherwise everything was great, the workers are nice and welcoming it's a quieter restaurant, at least when we were there. The inside has simple decor nothing crazy and it's a cute, easy, and yummy little place to go when you're on a trip and want a bite. Definitely recommend and I will be coming back!"

"The food was delicious!! My gyro was perfection! A must for delicious Greek food!"

"I have always ordered gyros from here but haven't ordered in awhile since moving to Catskill. I was in town and desired to order. First, when I called I thought I had called the wrong number because the lady who answered the phone just said hello and didn't acknowledge the name of the restaurant. My next disappointment came when I bit into the gyro. The bread was so hard and the meat seemed old. I was definitely disappointed! I have never had this experience in the past."

"Fantastic! The closest thing to eating in Greece that I've come across. Home made recipes, flavors, and hospitality you can only find in the Agean sea. I couldn't stop eating, that's when you know it's great."

"Food was excellent and I want to go back! I highly recommend getting the Greek iced coffee. It was frothy and strong and tasted amazing. We also ordered the dip appetizer. It's not listed as such on the menu but I recommend getting the babaganoush in place of the 'red caviar salad'. It's some of the best babaganoush I've tried, but wish the portion size was larger (or cost less, it was $17). I don't even like dolma/grape leaves that much but even they were great. I recommend the Horiatiki (village) salad to share. A spoonful of that salad to accompany your meal adds a wonderful fresh component. The gyro was flavorful, pita was soft, and the meat was tender enough for my 15 month old to eat it easily. Overall, food tasted fresh with great flavor and our server was phenomenal. We had a high chair in the back corner near the restroom. It's a smaller place and I don't know how handicapped friendly it is as the bathroom is small (there's 2 doors to get to it, a wheelchair wouldn't fit) and a single unisex stall. We brought cash so we didn't have to pay the surcharge for using a credit card. Serving sizes aren't huge and left us wanting a little more for the cost but I still want to go back because it was delicious. If the owner is reading this, please don't skimp on portion sizes. Especially the dip appetizer? More food should come with that, it is not enough and we quickly ate it. If it wasn't somewhat pricey, I would have ordered a second one."
