Steak was cooked medium rare perfectly, the mashed potatoes were flavorful, veggies were delicious, and shrimp were also fresh and yummy. Couldn't ask for more. The dish was perfect. And definitely a large amount of food, too. I saved half for lunch tomorrow! Still thinking about those mashed potatoes! Good ones are hard to come by.
I've also had a similar dish here with the lamb chops with sauteed spinach, mashed potatoes, and veggies. Also very good. The only thing I didn't like here was the hummus. It tasted like it was missing something and it wasn't very creamy. I will forgive them because everything else was so good.
My boyfriend got the California wrap and it looked incredible. He said he really enjoyed it. He opted for the Greek salad for a couple bucks more and they gave him such a large portion! We were both very happy. Looking forward to eating here again soon! read lessJackie K.9/16/2019This was a pleasant surprise. Clean and cute, service was A1, food was outrageously delicious and so unique.

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 Klein7/05/2020Excellent Went there for breakfast. Service and food great.

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

Arrived a little after 1pm. About a 15 minute wait. We started out with the hummus dip for a starter. The group was made of four people a little kid. Diner 1 had the chicken salad sandwich, said it was great. Diner 2 had the BLT, lots of bacon & very ripe tomatoes. Diner 3 had the chicken Cesar salad just the right amount of dressing. Diner 4, myself had the cheeseburger, it was delicious. The two out of four meals came with fries, but that was plenty for the whole table. The little kid ate off all the plates!! Decor was nice! The service was great as well. Will definitely go back, I wish they had falafel on the menu, maybe they did and I missed it. read less

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.7/29/2019 -

The place is often pretty crowded which sucks for getting a table right away but the food is excellent Greek food! You have to come here if you're in Ocean City. The hummus and pita bread are great as is all the Greek sandwiches and fries. The salads are great with olives, cheese and olive oil. read less
