So, I came in by myself as I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and my family had other plans so, why not. I was craving some Greek food that I hadn’t had since I moved down from Ohio about a year ago. This is gonna be a somewhat long review, but I will say I had a very positive experience with only some minor critiques/suggestions. Definitely nothing that would keep me from giving a 5-Star.
First, walking in the door. It did take a little bit of time to be greeted at the host stand and seemed like a lot of staff behind the pick up counter with only 1 person walking around the dining area. However, I think I hit things after some larger parties left and there was a lot of food in the window so it was most hand on deck in the back. Once greeted, staff was very friendly. And my server was very attentive throughout my meal.
My order: Mythos Beer (bottle), Fried Calamari, Gyro Pita (Greek style). Beer was great, light, easy to drink and refreshing.
Fried Calamari: First, the calamari was fried very well. Crispy, light, and the calamari was tender but had the bounce I like. Plus, I enjoy it included tentacles and not all rings. Marinara sauce was tasty. My only suggestion is I think it would go to another level if you included some pepperoncini rings dredged and fried with the calamari, but it’s still very good.
Gyro Pita: The pita was great. Nice and soft but strong enough to not fall apart with all the wet ingredients inside. The Gyro meat itself was tender and flavorful. The tzatziki did leave a little to be desired. While it didn’t have a negative impact on the flavor, it also didn’t add much. It was very thick and tasted somewhat like plain sour cream, even though I could see some herbs in it. Might cut it with some yogurt, add some more herbs, and I didn’t get any cucumber, so not sure if that is just the recipe or just this batch. The fries on the “Greek style” is something I’ll probably pass on next time. They were fried well but were fairly bland. I understand the reason for going light on salt, but I then think they could make up for that with some other flavors like a blend of dried garlic, dill, oregano, and cumin would add a little more flavor to compliment the Greek origin, even a little dash of Cinnamon.
Overall, a great experience and I look forward to coming back to try the Mousaka, Pastichio, and other menu items.

I've been to this place before and was excited to enjoy the tasty food today when I came in...
The restaurant was basically empty. I was not greeted in any way. I walked up to the counter and a min later the server walked up to me, behind the counter and I said I would like to order to go.
And she said "do you know what you want"
I said "I think I want a souvlaki" and was obviously looking through the menu and was wanting to ask a question
And she said "I'll give you a min" and walked off to go clean some empty tables in the corner she basically acted lile I need to flag her down to make an order...
The restaurant was literally empty... there weren't even 10 diners in there.
I was waiting for her to come back and decided that if she was that indifferent about taking my order then I'm indifferent about parting with my money for this type of service.
I typically tip for to-go orders as I worked for years in the service industry myself.
Unfortunately with this type of service I'm sure the restaurant will loose business.
When I went in the past the service and food were good. I'm not sure will be in again. This was a very poor experience and showed me there is little care for the customer.

Takis has my favorite pizza in Lake County. I love the sauce and the dough is so tasty. Also, their meatballs are to die for. Usually we just buy a side of meatballs and a side of garlic bread. This makes a great meatball sub. Yum yum.

Excellent meal, homecooked. Dolamades were perfect. A lot of variety too. Portions are large, a great value and excellent for leftovers. Had a family friendly dining area. Highly recommend!

Was there a few days ago. I had a gyro and it was only average. I’ve had a lot better elsewhere. My wife had meatballs. They were really bad mixed with bread crumbs with no flavor. I have read other reviews which was good reviews that’s why we went. Honestly don’t think the other reviews had any taste buds. We will not be going back.
