I frequent this restaurant with my children, but each visit has been met with unfriendly staff who appear to dislike their jobs and are reluctant to serve us. The food is just average, and after our most recent experience, we've decided not to return. We would prefer to dine somewhere where we feel more comfortable and welcomed. Service: Dine-in.

I didn't take any photos of our two lunches, but we had the slow-cooked open lamb souvlaki. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I had expected. The pita bread was nicely toasted, and the salad on top was good, but the lamb was too dry and lacked moisture. The quality of the meat was very poor, and there wasn't enough of it for a souvlaki. Considering the price of $19, I expected more value and a better experience. I found it to be overpriced. Service: Dine-in.
