Before you head over
Practical advice for ordering, seating, and getting the best experience
Dine-In Seating Fills Fast
Seating inside is compact, meaning tables fill up quickly during peak hours. Consider taking your yiros to go or planning for an off-peak visit if dining in.
Set Rules for Platter Salads
Platters like the 'Eat like a Greek' share feast stick to rigid combinations, including a strict selection of two salads without substitutions.
Choose Pork or Chicken for Best Texture
While pork and chicken are consistently tender, lamb can skew dry or over-salted on certain days. Opt for pork or chicken if seeking juicy spit-roasted meat.
