Fun times. This was my first time back in over 10 years and the food was better than I remembered. It's a good atmosphere for an adult birthday gathering. Napkin throwing and belly dancers fun. Family friendly. I will be back again, sooner than later.

The food here was amazing! Came with my husband to grab a bite before going to a comedy show and it was great. The vibe was really nice and we got to sit outside at one of the nice high tables. We saw the belly dancer pass through and also our server was extremely attentive to us. We were seated immediately and food was brought out promptly. I remember my husbands virgin pina colada being AMAZING and my drink was delicious as well. I definitely recommend it here. The potatoes the meat skewers came with were really yummy too

I recently had a team Holiday dinner here on a Friday evening. We were a small party of 6. The venue was quite full for dinner time so I imagine that reservations are a must. The service received was good. First the server came around with menus and water. Next, he came around to take beverage orders. Finally, he came around for the food orders. I decided to go with the lamb board and asked to sub the fries and pita for a small Greek salad. The Greek salad was flavorful. The lamb board normally comes with braised lamb, tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, pita and fries. Again, I subbed out the pita and fries. The tomatoes were not good - they looked soggy and didn't taste fresh. The lettuce was simply unappealing. The lamb and tzatziki were quite tasty, and I enjoyed it paired with the Greek salad. Throughout the dinner time the venue was filled with music and dancing - which I did not expect. I didn't read any reviews or look it up before coming. Occasionally, the belly dancers would come around and "offer" lessons to the customers. Sometimes there was dancing on the table - by both the staff and the customers. There was even line dancing around the restaurant. Lots of fun entertainment going on during dinner. So, it was a lively crowd, full of music, dance and people having a great time. This was a great choice for our team gathering.

Our first dining stop during our conference and it didn't disappoint. The food was super good and huge portions. The restaurant is situated on top level so you need to take the escalators to the entrance for seating. The area is very spacious and our server was super nice. Best of all and to our surprise, there was even a belly dancer entertainment half way through our meals. They were throwing up white napkins sporadically as she danced and I had to ask the server what was the significance of the white napkins. Our server said that it was cheaper to throw napkins than break plates. Lol, so true. What a fun and cost-effective idea. Would totally recommend and come back again!

Came for my friend's birthday party and what a fun, vibrant time we had!!!! The service, food, and entertainment was outstanding! Everyone was so kind and fun! We had the Greek fries, Greek salad, lemon soup, and chicken kabobs. It was so much food for my husband and I to share! The food was so tasty and delightful. The dancer was gorgeous and so fun! We were dancing and throwing napkins! My friend, the birthday girl, even danced on the table!!! It was dinner filled with unforgettable memories for sure. Highly recommend!

While visiting Orlando while my wife attended a work function, we thought that this sounded like a place we would enjoy. We were right! What a fun restaurant. It was a short distance from our hotel and the valet parking made it easy for us, since the parking here can be challenging for out of towners. Service was great and our drink orders were taken with in a couple of minutes of our seating. All of our questions were answered and I opted for Avgolemono soup and the octopus appetizer for my meal, my wife enjoyed the salmon entree. Both orders had generous portions and cooked to perfection. We were surprised at the entertainment, since we were not expecting anything. They had several dancers that entertained weaving around the tables and more than once there was a line of dancers and patrons participating. The Greek twist on familiar drinks was a welcome change as well. This will most certainly be on our list of places to come back to on our next visit to the area. Thank you for a fun entertaining, delicious evening.

This restaurant has ruined me for all other Greek restaurants - the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! We need more stars for this one. The tzatziki sauce was savory and its texture creamy. The cucumber is in strings rather than chopped and we loved it! They make their own yogurt there, too. The best I've tasted! The make gluten free pita bread, too. Can't say enough about how good it was. I had a Greek salad with steak. The steak is wonderfully tender and marinated for 22 hours. This was absolute perfection, in my opinion. The flavors are not overpowering but so tasty. Even the feta was top notch! We ate outside on the patio and the weather was lovely. The awning provides plenty of shade, too. Our waiter was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and friendly. Lots of gluten free options here as well. I can't wait to return!

I often bring my out of town friends here, and we never fail to have a great meal and a good time! Most recently, I came here with my friend and coworker for dinner after a conference in town. We shared several apps - the hummus, sampler plate, flaming cheese, and a sangria pitcher. The hummus never disappoints! It truly is fresh, and you can tell they make it in house. Honestly, all of the food was delish! We sat outside, so we didn't get the full show. We were fine with that because I've been here before and know how loud it gets inside. We wanted to be able to talk, so outside was perfect. The belly dancer came outside, so we got a little show. While everyone calls this place "touristy," as a local, I can honestly say that I come here at least a few times a year and I'm never disappointed. It's consistently good, fun, and the waiters are wonderful. (PS they also have a great happy hour!)
