EaterJuly 10, 2013Pegasus Tavernas has been a Greektown staple for almost 25 years. For hearty Hellenic food outside of a Coney Island, Pegasus is your best bet in metro Detroit. [Eater 38 Member]
EdwulfJune 2, 2015Real greek food. Start with saganaki (with shrimp would be better, be sure to shout opa!) and you can't lose if you try the Dolmathes. Serving size is fair. Mind the service, they are like distracted
Madison HerdNovember 26, 2021the service is awesome. our appetizer came within 10 minutes or less. super cute restaurant with hanging lights. the flaming cheese is amusing and delicious! would definitely come again
BreDecember 31, 2014Come here for the best loukoumades of your life. Perfectly crisp outside, soft middle and topped with just the right amount of syrup and cinnamon.- CariSeptember 4, 2012wonderful place.Our waiter Scott was great, friendly, &helpful. Service is top notch and my vegetarian moussaka was to die for. Tzadiki &saganaki were delic apps. They accommodated our large Group too
Nicole RovigSeptember 4, 2021What an amazing restaurant! Anything lamb is fantastic. The Skordalia was a special treat. Warm service and a great value!
- katy ramseyOctober 29, 2015Beautiful on the inside and great service. We tried a combo plate and of course the OPA app!
Allegra SmithDecember 27, 2015You can tell where they usually set the saganaki on fire because the fake plastic grape arbors on the ceiling are all singed and melted
Sarah NixonMarch 6, 2019Solid Greek options, pretty typical. The flaming cheese was a little silly but they get kudos for having a goat cheese option
Got great service with amazing speed sitting at the bar. Lots of TVs to see the game on too!
Jenn PullenJune 18, 2013Get the flaming cheese!! Oompa! It's amazing! They also make a really good Dirty Martini!
Lori BOctober 7, 2011Order the Village Salad! Enough for two or as a main course. Cross the street for the Asturas bakery.
Jessica ThomasMay 21, 2012My parents have been bringing me here my whole life. Best Greek food ever. And flaming cheese=nuff said
David BenjaminJanuary 3, 2011If it's too busy here, try Mosaic across the street. Really good food or sit at the bar for one of their signature cocktails.
Erin BrodhagenJanuary 24, 2016Another favorite restaurant in Greektown!!! Always good service and great food
The meat dolthmas with lemon sauce are hands down amazing.
Michael ErbMay 14, 2023The food was ok but for the same money a better meal can be enjoyed down the street at The Golden Fleece!
Maine DawkinsJanuary 26, 2013Don't try the combination plate if you are a first timer; it's too much to handle as far as taste is concerned. Kinda nasty:-(
Brian MulloyJanuary 20, 2012Ask for a Michigan made beer. When they tell you they don't carry tell them there are 100 breweries in Michigan they have no excuse. Then order water.
TheYumYum FoodieFebruary 7, 2014One word...Saganaki! Get your self some flaming cheese and tender gyro.
Gregory BranchJuly 25, 2013u can sit anywhere u want, anywhere!!! Oh.... Can't sit there!!! What's about here!!! Hmmmm!!!! That section is closed!!!! That might be a problem.- The stuffed grape leaves will make you want to smack your mama they're so good.
Get the greek trio! It's a little bit of the 3 greatest dishes ever!!

"Very generic, unremarkable Greek food. Egg lemon soup was good so was the Caesar salad. Their tomato sauce was way too acidic and overbearing. Great service though"
