Extremely crowded, noisy and a bit uncomfortable. The door was locked when we arrived which required us to search for another entrance which didn't exist. We went back to the main door and banged on it. They finally opened the door but when I asked why it was locked, they wouldn't answer. Very cavalier attitude. The restaurant was open and already crowded. Makes no sense to have the door locked during peak business hours. We were 14 people but we needed some accommodation with the check. I requested separate checks. They refused and would make no other compromise. My party seemed to enjoy their meals. The prices were high and the portions were small to medium. Except for the Moussaka which was gargantuan. But it was expensive for $17. My stuffed chicken was flavorful but dry and crunchy around the edges. There was certainly not enough to take home. Not sure if I will go back. South Street Souvlaki is better and much cheaper with larger portions.

Live in the neighborhood. Great family owned restaurant. Best service with wonderful authentic family cooking. Best salad in philly. I have loved this gem for years!

Been a couple of times. Small, family run type of feel. Food good both times. And it's BYOB

Great good and good prices. It's not like the typical Center City restaurant that charges way too much for tiny plates. I would recommend!

Great authentic Greek food! Had the seafood with orzo. Amazing. Got too much so had to take some home. Couldn't wait to eat it again. Cozy, intimate byob. All staff is greek and really makes it feel authentic. And the food is great as well!
