Love it here. Everyone can find something. The hummus plate to start is fabulous. It gets busy but worth the wait.

I got exactly what I was hoping for. At 7 am this place is empty enough that I don't feel guilty sitting and reading for an hour or two while I sip the good coffee and enjoy an omlett. The seating inside and out is great, I appreciate having air conditioning, and the staff are I nredibly friendly.
I went with the grab and Swiss, which was huge, and tasted great. The hash browns are incredible, with the sliced (not shredded) potatoes browned perfectly.
I saw a few people come in to pick up take-out orders as well.
I'll definitely be back. read lessTom L.7/29/2019Varied Menu ! Great menu and service! Plan your shopping trips to include Yanni's for lunch.

Everything is fresh and everyone is friendly! We were accommodated for our larger group of six. There was a huge variety of options which made it easy to decide our meals. A kind waitress came and took our orders. We were immediately handed our drinks and 2 bowls of fresh, hot pitta and homemade hummus. We ordered 3 dips with pita- eggplant, hummus, and tzieke, all were tasty. My son got calamari and flounder. He liked them both. I took my parents and the both loved their salads. My husband got moussaka and said it was excellent! I got a California chicken wrap, all I can say is great! We were happy and satisfied with our experience and will definitely be coming back! P.S. the host Jerry is great! read less

So this year, (the year of COVID) we were so happy to hear they were open for takeout. The food was as delicious as ever. We ordered through their online order system. The food was ready on-time. When I went in to pay, I felt very safe. They require masks and had a glass between me and the cashier.
When we got back to our place, the food was hot and delicious. I got the lamb & beef gyro. The pita wrap was perfect. Not a drop of sogginess which says how lean their meat is. We can't wait to go back for more! read lessKen Klein7/05/2020Love this place! Great local beach place open year round! Food is fresh, service has always been terrific!... read moreLove this place!

Well, tonight we tried it for dinner and OMFG!!!!!!! It exceeded all expectations! They brought grilled pita and homemade hummus to the table, and I hate hummus, but I LOVED theirs! It was delicious! My daughter (the pickiest eater alive) had the salmon, rice, and spinach and she couldn't stop eating! I had the Seafood Linguine in white and it was amazing! The seafood was fresh and on point! Our waitress Mary totally rocked! I can't wait to go back for breakfast tomorrow read less

Looked up restaurants in the neighborhood and this came up as a pretty solid staple, so we figured we'd check it out Memorial Day for dinner before returning home. What a great meal to end the long weekend.
I was the only one kicking myself for not ordering what the other 3 got, which was the grilled shrimp kebabs over rice and a side of Greek salad. I took a bite of my BF's shrimp and it was AMAZING. Huge pieces, perfectly seasoned, cooked and paired so well with the fluffy and flavorful rice.
I opted for the Greek burger with tzatziki and it was fantastic. A little messy as the bun was very buttered, but the flavors were wonderful. I got a Greek salad on the side, as well, instead of fries, and it was a nice reprieve, plus chock full of feta and delicious house dressing.
Prior to the meal, they brought out warm pita and homemade hummus. Everything was great from start to finish, including our friendly server. Very affordable. Would 100% return if I'm in the area. read lessAndrea F.6/11/2019I decided to eat here while on vacation after seeing a line form outside the restaurant every night.

The crumbled feta and the vinaigrette were so fresh and good. It was a decent size salad for dinner & I couldn't even finish it. This restaurant is a great place if you are a vegetarian or are dining with someone who is. Staff and service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. read less
