Fantastic, authentic Greek food by a great family owned restaurant. Pete's family does a great job with these unique flavors and traditions. Small, cozy atmosphere with a lot of history. But service can be European paced, to put it nicely. I would definitely come back and try more of the menu.

This is a little bit of a drive from where we live, but always worth it. Food is so good. Authentic. Staff is friendly and attentive. One of my favorite things to get is the chicken and rice soup. YUM! This is one of our family favorite places to go for recognizing certain events. Remembering passed loved ones, celebrating birthdays, recognizing achievements, or just having a taste for the food! The fried calamari appetizer is a very generous portion. I recommend checking out this lovely restaurant.

This is one of the best Greek restaurant experiences I have had while in Denver. Everything was perfect 👌 I can’t stress enough that you need to try it if you haven’t. I had the lamb gyro, Greek potatoes, egg lemon soup, and the spanikopita! It was all phenomenal.
