Excellent food, wonderful friendly staff. We had takeaway, but sat inside while the food was cooked and the interior was lovely, inviting and everyone's food looked delicious. Especially appreciated the warm apple tea while we waited for our food to be prepared. The special chicken was yummy!

Located on US Rte 1 South a short distance from a traffic signal and "jughandle"
Some parking on a stone lot for ~20 vehicles
Small indoor seating area for ~20ppl, smaller outdoor seating area for ~10ppl
Offering Greek classics including desserts
Friendly staff, order and your food is brought to your table
I enjoyed a Gyro Pita, traditional beef and lamb mix. Tasty but not very flavorful even with the tzatziki sauce, next time I will ask for the.hot sauce
Decent portion, fair pricing, if your in the area worth the stop
Very convenient hours, call ahead for takeout or dine in to save time

Excellent Turkish Food
Lamb chops are actually a rack of lamb perfectly seasoned. Everything is home made.
Pistachio baklava melts in your mouth. You can't go wrong here. Excellent service.
