We tried a few dishes here and really enjoyed the food. The lamb shank was tender and flavorful, served with nicely seasoned rice and vegetables, and the eggplant dip was creamy and comforting. The environment was very cozy and welcoming, which we loved. However, the waiting time was quite long—possibly because they were catering to larger parties, as we were …
The lamb I ordered was incredibly tender and delicious, but I actually thought my husband's dish was even better (I forgot the name of it). Besides the complimentary bread before the meal, they also provide a free dessert afterwards.
Everything was delicious, well-cooked, and the portions were generous for the price!
We dropped in for lunch today and sat at the bar toward the back to enjoy the view of the colorful decor. We shared the delicious Greek Salad and the Vegetable sandwich. Both were generous & flavorful! We did not order dessert but they gave us their baklava that was to die for! We highly recommend you try it yourself …

We ended up going in and grabbing seats at the bar. Amir was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the …

After viewing the beautiful ocean in Carmel we stopped for a bite to eat and I was so pleasantly surprised at the flavors and options available here. My mother in law ordered the lasagna- probably my favorite thing from here- the tomato sauce was a little sweet and seasoned to perfection. My …
Love the Greek foods here. We had the roasted vegetable salad, dametra royal combination, Greek combination platter, Greek salad, and the grilled jumbo prawns.
All around excellent experience and will be back again. The food- excellent. Just wanted to get that out first. Big platters of fresh delicious food. We got the combo platter and I was stuffed at the end of it. Highly recommend. The service was top notch as well. The servers were very nice and accommodating and really made sure you …
