I love everything from the friendly and polite staff, the incredible food,the cleanliness down to the decorations! They serve incredibly delicious and generous food portions. I usually order egg whites bacon and home fries for breakfast and and iced sweet tea. Ive had the beef gyro platter (with fries) and I've had a chicken Cesar salad for lunch many times. Every time I get my food I enjoy it hot and fresh. I have never complained once about a thing. I appreciate the design of the restaurant it makes a very inviting comfortable place to gather and eat. During the holidays they get festive and decorate accordingly. It makes it a fun environment to be in. There is a yiannis cafe location at the ocean city aquatic and fitness center too....where I always order a banana almond milk with peanut butter shake after my workout or a chicken Cesar salad and even here they keep things orderly and fresh. The cooking oil they use is light and delicious you can purchase a bottle or gift it it's a gear Xmas present for people who love to cook and eat clean! Yiannis is a 10/10!!! read less

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.6/11/2019Love it here. Everyone can find something. The hummus plate to start is fabulous. It gets busy but worth the wait.

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 Klein7/05/2020Simply Fantastic Came on a Thursday evening early October and it was very busy. After an amazing meal I understood why. The
