In Short
In a small open kitchen, whole fish and slices of pita share a grill. Service is genuine, friendly and fast. Earthy souvlaki comes on lightly grilled pita bread or stuck alongside peppers and onions on skewers. Order a side of minty rice-stuffed grape leaves or flaky and tangy spanakopita--and don't miss Effie's home-style fries. For dessert, couple cardamom-infused Greek coffee with honey-drenched baklava.

My Sister-In-Law and I ate here on a Friday night and the food was delicious! I was visiting from Tennessee and we had such great service. Our Waiter, Andre was the best! We had an appetizer sampler, greek salad with gyro meat and a lamb sirloin steak with potatoes and fennel. YUM!

This a great neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious and there is always a good special. The main room is small, the garden cozy, the patio adorable, and the upstairs spacious and good for larger parties.

This is a wonderful restaurant specializing in Greek food. It is delicious, but be prepared to wait because the space is pretty small and there is limited seating. You can't go wrong!
