Ordered online for takeout. Filet mignon kebob was cooked perfectly. Also got the Souvlaki chicken skewer. I liked the potato and veggie sides. Definitely will be trying other items too. Tzatziki sauce has a strong lemon flavor so a little goes a long way.

The only thing that saved from being one star because the food was good. The experience started off good, being greet when I walked in, the place seemed welcoming, we were only table for early dinner in the middle of the week. Pita bread with cheese hot plate was yummy. Salad with kabob meat was good. A friend has to leave so asked for separate bill. He was charging gratitude on all our bills, he got irritated when asked separate bills. We apologized for not telling him early. The price on the menu did not match the bill. He brushed me off by saying the machine charged for what it is. If that is the case, you need to fix the price on your menu. Someone came late, ordered Togo and decided to order a dessert, got charged for gratuity. It is a slow night, I guess he is charging for every dollar he can get. I like the food but not coming back.

We stopped in on a rainy night - we were on the east side for a moonlight snowshoe the following day. I was immediately struck by the kako mati I could see from the doorway. They had dishes I hadn't seen since a trip to Athens: Kalamarakia, Avgolemono, Kokonisto Arni, etc. We ordered kalamarakia to start with along with the Greek beer of the day and a glass of Greek wine. We ordered the Dionysus plate along with a lamb souvlaki - both with faki. Our server was prompt and friendly. She readily admitted she didn't know anything about the Greek beer but would find out anything I wanted to know. There was no need. The faki came out first and how I missed good faki. This was perfect. Light lemon flavor, tender lentils, and thick broth. The kalamarakia arrived shortly after. It came with tzatziki on the side. The dinners came right as the soup bowls and appetizer plate was cleared. I dive into the boiled potatoes - if you haven't had the boiled Greek potatoes they are awesome. These were right on point. The lamb souvlaki was tender and melted in our mouths. The dolmades are meat stuffed just like Athens. The moussaka was very good. There aren't a ton of frills but the food hit the spot and reminded us of Athens. If you're in Issaquah stop by.

Ordered two gyros and one lamb leg from Uber eats. All toppings are missing, sides is missing as well. Contact customer service and they told me thus restaurant reserves the right to remove topping options. What a joke!

Good food and friendly service. As we found ourselves post workout, in-between traditional meal times, and hungry, we were craving something filling and fast. My call was answered promptly and our order was going to be ready in 15-20 minutes. That was just enough time for a quick shower and commute there! The gentleman who took my call was also the one to process my order. He was cordial and both he and the other gentleman I could see in the kitchen were wearing masks. They also had cups for sanitized and used pens.The indoor dining area looked inviting and they have outdoor seating too. We are looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future, but this is definitely going to be our go-to for gyros!

We enjoyed the food, especially the lamb skewers and gyros. The meat was great and came with good portions. The service was so so after not ordering drinks and an appetizer. The mood quickly set he's afterwards. Overall good not great.

short:Will I be back? Definitely!Was the food good? Yes! Very good!So what's the problem? The service. There is one server who doubles down as a host and as a sous chef.We were a large group of 9, and there were more people in the restaurant. By the end, we were the only ones left, yet the service was slow. We spent a total of 2 hours in the restaurant. We gave a heads-up 30 minutes before leaving (30 minutes after putting in the order for mains), yet our main dishes arrived just 5 minutes before departure. Please consider hiring another server. It's disheartening to give 3 stars for excellent food due to service issues.Also, please install a self-closing mechanism for the main door (and the hall leading to the restrooms). It's a bit rude to greet people by saying that they entered three times (different groups) and didn't close the door behind them. And they need to make sure they close the door behind them... We were charged an automatic 20% service.Yet, food-wise, it's the best Greek food I've had in our area.

Uh oh. When we got there we realized we had eaten there before and didn't like it. Since we came a long way, we thought we'd give it another try. On the plus side, the service as quick and friendly. The warm pita bread, baklava and galactoboureko were good. On the negative side, was the rest of the food. Greece cuisine is my favorite and I have eaten at many Greek restaurants. I had to send my glass of wine back because it had lip marks on the rim. The avgolemono soup was thick, gloppy and gelatinous with a solid looking top. It tasted fine but the thick texture suggested multiple reheatings or soup that was sitting in the pot for too long. The moussaka was clearly reheated (or pre-plated hours ago and kept warm?) because the custard topping was stiff and dry. The meat filling was bland. The rice also had that reheated, dry look. The vegetables were raw. My husband had the Dionysis plate and it too was clearly reheated with raw vegetables. What a disappointment. We won't be back.
