“ We went to the new location for the first time today, and this place is now on our regular rotation. Everything was generous portions, and so much flavor. It felt like we were having dinner from a Greek grandmother's kitchen. The sampler plate was excellent to try multiple items, and each was . The spinach pie had way more flavor than I expected, and the grape leaves were the best I've tried. And the meat for the gyros was perfectly seasoned and so tender. And the stuffed peppers were fantastic! Service was attentive and quick. This place should be packed 24 x 7 ”
“ We share a famous gyro sandwich with extra tzatziki sauce, crumbled feta, and a side of fries because one portion feeds two people. We've had it as take-out and in-house. The food is consistent and yummy. The service is professional and hospitable. The atmosphere is minimal and clean with table seating. Thank you! ”
“ Excellent service. Very tasty food quickly delivered to the table. Our server was outstanding! Such generous servings that we were able to take some food home. Nice layout inside. Ample parking available in adjacent lot. ”
“ Wow! A picture of the most scrumptious, loaded, zesty looking gyro I ever did see showed up on my google feed when I was in the area the other day and I walked into this outfit and showed the owner the picture as a means to place the order. That picture sold that gyro better than anyone could. Turns out it was their famous gyro less tomatoes. And the food tasted as amazing as that picture looked. That's all I can say. It was so good I went back for another the very next day. What Ia great find this was! Best gyro I ever had! ”
“ After relocating, we finally returned to our favorite Greek restaurant, and it did not disappoint! We’ve been fans since their days on West Street in Annapolis. The service was exceptional, with our food arriving quickly. The owner was incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the chicken oregano, while my husband enjoyed the Greek platter—both dishes were generous portions and cooked to perfection. The Greek salad was fresh, and the dressing was outstanding. The highlight of our meal was definitely the taramasalata; it was incredibly flavorful and truly the star of the show. I highly recommend this gem in Annapolis, whether you’re a Greek food lover or just looking for a great dining experience! ”
“ Wonderful restaurant in every respect! The food, service, and hospitality are top notch with a very extensive menu. My friend and I have started coming for lunch almost every Saturday and we always have a great experience! ”
“ I loved it! A little sterile in the restaurant, but the food was great and the portions huge! I am not a fan of huge portions (often too much waste) but I know a lot of people like them! You can definitely feed 2 adults with one portion of Gyro! #Food #Gyro #Restaurant #Portions #Waste ”
