Nice variety with Authentic menu. Really enjoyed the food. We had 8 members of our party. Each person really enjoyed our meal without complaint.

We found this gem while staying in Arlington. This is great Greek food! My husband is greek & he thought the food was amazing, as did I.

I was in a group of hungry people (some of whom were unsure about Greek food) but we started with a shared large Greek salad and everyone had a different main entree-- lamb shank, roast lamb chops, moussaka, and pastitsio.
