It was just enough for us, though we weren’t very hungry, so no complaints—great choice! The food was really delicious overall. I wasn’t a fan of the pork souvlaki as it was quite tough, but everything else was tasty. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the cleanliness: the floors were sticky and dirty, with every crevice covered in a film. Even the window sills had a noticeable layer of food residue. It was off-putting and surprising given how nice the restaurant is. Despite this, I do enjoy the food here!

They have a great selection of Greek specialties, from baklava to dolmades. Do yourself a favor and order the kraken pita with a side of feta fries—absolutely amazing! Also, be sure to try their falafel; it’s some of the best in Springfield!

The vibrant umbrellas and decorations hanging from the ceiling enhance the cheerful ambiance. We visited during lunch, where we experienced counter service; however, table service is available in the evenings and on weekends. Conveniently located downtown and close to the campus, we made our reservation through Google Maps. The owner greeted us personally and shared that the restaurant focuses on authentic Greek cuisine, so don't expect the usual Chicago-style lamb and beef gyro meat. I chose the mixed platter that included bifteka and sausage, while my wife ordered the Kraken and my son opted for the bifteka. Each dish was delightful and felt familiar to us. We also enjoyed a bowl of red pepper soup, a traditional baklava, and a pumpkin spice baklava for dessert. Overall, it was a dining experience that is definitely worth trying.

Being from Connecticut and having enjoyed Greek cuisine in Europe, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food we found in Missouri. I ordered the sliced pork gyro wrap, which came with a fresh salad and fries, along with a Green Ghost IPA. My wife opted for the gyro platter. We both loved the flavors of our dishes and appreciated the friendly service from the staff. Overall, we rate it a solid five stars!
