Maybe the best Greek food in Florida. At 8PM on a Tues nite there was a 1 hr wait. The lamb is super. Great food and service. NOTE: They do not accept reservations. 1st come 1st serve.

Saganaki, dolma, tzatziki, garides (large baked shrimp w/sauce) melitzanosalata, gigantes beans, starters to share - over the top. Lamb-chops & scallops mains to split - perfect Greek surf & Turf.

Chicken breast ladoregano w/potatoes (instead of rice). Mediterranean spices, tender chicken cooked perfectly. Greek salad, then Saganaki cheese is a treat. The bread & hummus start on a tasty note!

Lamb chops, shrimp, and saganaki heaven! Go often in the summer because it's IMPOSSIBLE to get in during the winter season! Easily, one of the best in FLL! Not liking their new valet fee.

Really not bad for Greek food outside of Greece. Too bad they "americanize" it a bit too much. Recommendable nevertheless, especially the tzatziki and the fried zuchini!
Anita ColangeloFebruary 18, 2013
Hands down the most amazing Greek food! Always packed so get there early at night it looks like a nightclub so many ppl waiting to get in

Server didnt even know what is tsipouro! Serving of the uozu was a disaster! Meze served with mains! Its not a tavern just an american restaurant with greek dishes and thats it! Don’t expect much!

Get the lamb chops and don't look back... Lines early so come later and spend more at the beach. It is worth it

Hardly any wait if you ask to sit outside. The pastitsio and moussaka are superb: not swimming in grease and weighing a ton. Tyrokafteri (spicy feta meze) is a must!
Michael TroianoMarch 5, 2015
The kebobs are all fantastic.
