I love this place. The owners are friendly and enjoy engaging you in conversation. Greek folk and bouzouki music floats through the air and mingles with the scents of olive oil, garlic, oregano, grilling meats and saganaki. Opa! The food is delicious! Gyro sandwiches stuffed with succulent gyros meat, sliced from the spit, not the fried frozen crap some restaurants try to pass off as gyros. The chicken and steak entree's are excellent and cooked to perfection. The french fries are tasty and the rice pilaf delicious. Excellent Greek salads. I've been eating here for 32 years and hope to continue eating here whenever I'm in Ann Arbor. less

My wife and I ate here only once (dinner, April of 1998). There are so many choices in Ann Arbor that when we visit, we feel we should try a different place. However, this place certainly deserves a return visit. It was the first time my wife had eaten in a Greek restaurant so we had to get saginaki, of course. I don't remember what my wife ordered but my lamb with rice was great. The seasoning was perfect. less

My goodness, I LOVE this place, from it's sparkling Formica leather boooths to it's murals on it's walls. I love it's Mousaka, Spanikopita and it's Gyros, which they serve American style in baskets and include fries. Desserts include Baklava or Souvlaka, that delicate pudding like pie with Nutmeg and cinnamon sprinked on top. Salads with feta cheese. These guys make out royally during the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, which happens to fall slap dab into the middle of one glorious week in July. Then they converted into a cafeteria, which they have the service built in for, and when you can choose even more great dishes from a line, and a beer from a cooler. The other months of the year they are waiter serviced but also reasonably priced, like a student budget allows.. less

Typical Greek place. Right on Main Street. Has been there for ever. I have only ordered the Gyros which were very good. The rest of the menu is pretty much identical to all of the other places just like this one. This is the only place of this type that I know of in downtown Ann Arbor. less

THinking about this restaurant makes me wish I still lived in Michigan! Their gyros are the best! The bread and cucumber sauce that accompanies the wonderfully flavored meat are scrumptious! The only thing to top the meaty sandwiches is the homemade rice pudding with just a touch of cinnamon on top. My brother used to buy it by the quart! It is on the corner and it is fun to sit outside and people-watch. The staff is genuinely greek and not overly friendly. I hope this restuarnt stays in business so when I have the chance to go back to michigan i can have a tasty gyro! less
