It's All Greek To Me — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

I loved the owner here. He is a great man! Very personable and very nice guy. I appreciate his dedication to running a solid business. Really nice shop and very clean. Not a ton of space but it wasn't too busy when we got there.

For context, I lived in Greece for 3 years. I am very critical when it comes to Greek cuisine as I would say my standard is very high.

Started off with the (dolmades) vine leaves. Really good and it was nice having this again as it has seriously been years since last time. Rice did not seem like it was fresh based on texture alone.

Spanakopita was really good too. One of my favorite Greek dishes and it was perfect!

I got the Gyro platter for the main course. Tzatziki here just doesn't seem or taste like real Greek tzatziki. Though it is a yogurt based food, it seemed like the tzatziki served was only yogurt and nothing else. Lacking amount of other ingredients thst make it so great. The texture was off as well as the taste. The meat here wasn't anything special. The pita bread was good and the fruits/veggies used tasted fresh.

Ended the meal with the baklava. Perfect. Best baklava you will ever have hands down, I promise you. It was incredible and unforgettable. The dessert usually isn't the best part of the meal but the baklava was the best part of the meal.

Be prepared to spend money. Each appetizer was about $8 which is fair, but for the size of the spanakopita you get $8 is way overpriced. My meal came to about $40 total. In Greece all this food probably would have costed me $15, no more than that. However, I do understand that this isn't Greece, and things needs to be priced based on American economics. Everything here in the States is expensive now anyway!

For the service, for sure 5/5. Great people. For the food and authenticity to what I have had previously, 3/5. My review would not be honest if I...

Didn’t even have a chance to order. The man that came to table, not sure if owner or just employee, but horrible attitude and made us feel uncomfortable. He came to table with a look, having attitude and literally took menus from our hands and asked us to leave. I was asking a question about gyros and just had a look he kept giving me, that I politely asked if we should leave and said yes. Just WOW! We just drove 30min to try somewhere new since we love gyros and remember this place as we go to cinema cafe, and is next door. To be turned away like that. Will never go back and don’t recommend. Also walking in I was looking around, no one was in there and no great food smell either, that you should smell also. We are the type of guests at any establishment that go out of our way to talk to management to give compliments of servers, we don’t believe in complaining but uplift...

I’m not into leaving bad reviews, unless someone is rude or the quality just isn’t good. I’m more shocked then anything by this experience with quality of food & the owners interaction with me.

Over priced for the small portions

2nd. I placed an order this past Saturday for pick up , the food wasn’t fresh, which I didn’t make a big deal due to it being late in the evening. It happens.

I specifically requested no tzatziki sauce on my gyro.

I called back multiple times that night look at you call history. no answer. I understand you closed & I figured I follow up. Monday I google to call , your closed. Yesterday I didn’t have time . Today , Wednesday I called to place an order I just wanted to be compensated, you rush me off the phone & you tell me there’s nothing you can do & hang up.

Bad business, very...
