It's a cute little spot. Just a few tables. Most people order for delivery or to go. Since we were not a from Hoboken, we opted to eat in.
Roberto and the team were helpful and friendly.
We ordered the Platter:
Pork Souvlaki, Rice, Hummus, and Dolmades Pork was nice bite sized, I did wish it had a bit more seasoning, rice was good, hummus was nice and creamy, and dolmades were good
Kotobacon Souvlanki (chicken wrapped in bacon), Lemon Fries, Eggplant Dip and Baked Butter Beans This was hubby's plate. Bacon wrapped anything is delicious, hehehe. He loved the lemon fries. It was good. I just don't like thick fries. Eggplant dip was good, different as you can see pieces of eggplant and not just a mush of something lol Baked butter beans, ok I didn't think I would like it but it was delicious, I ate half LOL
We went with his cousin, who is a picky eater. He ordered the same Platter as I did with the exception of the dolmades, he got the Avocado Tzatziki instead, which was a good choice! His cousin ended up raving about the food.
A separate order of Loukaniko (Greek Village Sausage). This was so good, I'll have to order it next time.
We all tried the different flavor of the flavored Sparkling Water. Orange, Pink Lemonade and Sour Cherry. They were all good flavors. But we all liked the Sour Cherry more than the others.
Hubby ordered a rice pudding to go. It was so good! We're going to have to go back just to get the rice pudding hehehe
We had a delicious meal and friendly conversation. I do wish they had a location in Bergen County. This restaurant is set up in a style that can be franchised and should be. 😀 Spread your delicious food!
Parking is such a pain in Hoboken. There is a paid parking lot one block over on the other side of the CVS...
Read moreI want to love this place, I really do.
The location is beautiful and is definitely a little oasis within Hoboken. The food is always tasty and fresh. I’ve come here a couple times for different salads and always liked the way the food tasted.
But my problem is, the prices here are outrageous. I ordered a Greek salad with halloumi cheese and it was $30. I can’t be paying $30 for a salad for lunch by myself. I expected a small add on fee for the halloumi, but it was $12 dollars!!! Adding meat protein to your salad is $8, which is also very expensive given the portion size. Paying $12 for cheese is wild.
If the prices were more reasonable, I’d be eating here once or twice a week. After what I paid for that salad, I don’t think I’ll be back.
In response to the owner: I didn’t add salmon to my salad. I ordered a Greek salad with halloumi. A Greek salad with added halloumi cost $30. Additionally, even if I got a meat based protein added to my salad, $20 is still absurd for a salad. Most other similar restaurants in Hoboken charge $10-12 for a salad without meat, and up to $15 with meat. You’re charging sit-down service restaurant prices for food similar to Chipotle. It’s not just about the cost of your food, it’s about the value. That salad was not worth $30, which is why I won’t...
Read moreOrdered takeout:
Chicken Souvlaki Wrap with the choice of Tzatziki and Harissa dressing (4.5/5) The chicken was very well seasoned and tender. The pita was soft and fresh. The tzatziki had this thick almost feta-y taste which worked brilliantly, and the harissa added some nice depth. The soggy French fries inside did not work for me, but I know some people don't mind it. I almost wish there was an option on the food apps to make the fries optional. This wrap was very enjoyable once I took them out. I could see myself order this again.
Pita Club Sandwich (4/5) This came with salted and seasoned fries. Those were crispy and delicious - especially after I toasted them in the air fryer again. The club sandwich itself had the same amazingly soft pita, but the combination of the cheese and bacon and chicken yeero together got a tad bit salty. Salt aside, which is why this item was not a perfect (5/5), the pita club sandwich was also quite enjoyable.
I would absolutely order the Chicken Souvlaki from Plaka again....
