This place was amazing! We stumbled across this place after a long day of traveling and exploring caves, and it definitely hit the spot! Ray was kind, funny, and cool, and the food was absolutely delicious and affordable. Don't come if you dislike authentic, "hole in the wall" restaurants. DO come if you love tasty, reasonably-priced Mediterranean cuisine. Picture attached of what's left of my gyro and rice leftovers.

First time here and the chicken and shrimp pasta with brandy dill sauce was amazing. The lamb gyro and roast beef sandwich with au jus was also delicious. Definitely going back! Ray was cranking out in house and to go orders alone and even then the wait wasn’t very long. 10/10 recommend.

Very impressed. Don't judge a book by it's cover. It took the place of the old coffee and game room so it looks closed due to the tinted windows. Seating is minimal, but they do take out. We ordered the Dolmas, Kids pizza and Gyros. I'm so happy we have a good Greek restaurant. Only wish they served fries with the gyros, but that's just me being picky. Will definitely be back!

Absolute hidden gem. The food is outstanding, Ray always has a smile for you, and everyone here is in a good mood. Friends are easily made. The food is outstanding. I don't know how he runs this place so well being in this location, but you absolutely must try it. If you like spicy food, the red peppers are amazing.

Mr. Ray was great and the food was awesome. It hit just right and the flavors were insane! We will be back. The view was bitter sweet of Canyon Lake just sad the water levels are so low.

First time there and once I figured out how to order full process was pretty smooth. Don't expect your food fast, but the food will be good and portions are more than enough. Will definitely go back and try other dishes. Apologies on gyro picture, forgot to snap photo b4 diving in, but it was so good.

Soo yummy The best Greek salad, and Spanikopita around! I love a place where I can find both healthy light options for me and Tasty hearty options for the rest of the family. Everything is fresh and delicious, and I love a family owned business where they make your food authentically and to order. Such kind and chill service!

Wonderful local restaurant with amazing food and atmosphere! BYOB, chill music and a patio with a sunset view!! The crab cake with brandy dill cream sauce was the best we have ever had! The lamb gyro was so fresh and the meat was tender! The ravioli was stuffed with cheese and the sauce was delicious! New regulars right here!!
