Nice little spot with exposed brick and outdoor seating. Good prices, too. The moussaka I had was very good- the lamb and cheese made it very creamy
Great moussaka and mushroom pizza... Biiiig individidual pizza!!! The pizza could have more sauce.
Super cute and intimate.They have a great lunch special deal for 12.99: 2 courses & a glass of wine. The house red is a fantastic table wine. Don't forget the Turkish coffee & baklava before you go.
They have good dolmas. Try them!
mezze's and appetizers
Oh my goodness, everything here was fantastic. They have gluten free options to pair with the hummus and the salt baked fish for two is a must!
