I've loved this place since it opened around 30 years ago. Affordable, quick, all the things you would expect at a Greek café, and the food has always been so tasty. However, on my last visit after the children of the owner took over the business from the father,the quality and tastiness of the food was not at the same level since apparently,, the father would not share his secret recipes with the new manager, so he could keep up the same quality food. I hope this is changed since my last visit as I will go back and hope for better.
This is a great spot. The Gyros are amazing. The french fries are perfect and the Price is just right.
I go there every few weeks for lunch. I'd go more often if I could. They have a lunch special. You get a gyro, fries and a drink (I get a bottle of root beer) for like $12. The food quality is great! (BTW, I had a gyro and fries from another fancier Greek place a little bit to the north, I won't name names, but it doesn't even compare. Athens is the best! Better food and better prices.)
--Location/Parking-- Plenty of parking in the strip mall. --Ambience-- A cross between a pizza restaurant with Greek decoration adorning the walls and space throughout the restaurant. --Service/Staff-- Staff was helpful in recommendations and explaining the menu. Since I am not familiar with Greek food this was helpful in my order --Food/Products-- I recommend the lamb as your meat choice. The taste was perfect. If you are getting any platter I recommend the lamb and my 2nd choice of chicken. The fries. I recommend to no or very little salt is how I like it. --Capacity-- Plenty of seating to hold 30 plus parties of 4. --Overall-- Great Yelp event if you love pizza and mingling with other Yelpers. Thank you Alexa for finding this hidden gem.
Some new faces and signage on the windows but the same great food and service. All of my favorites gyro plate and baklava are still the same and as good as they were in the past. Stop by for lunch. Happy that the new generation is carrying on and keeping this Roswell restaurant alive. I think it's the longest operation restaurant in Roswell.
The food is really good! I love the Gyro Meat Appetizer! 1/2 pound of meet, few slices of their amazing bread and some tzatziki sauce to top everything. Great both for take out and dine in. It's a very casual place, you order at the cash register and go get your food when it's ready. Prices are just right.
