Sorry I did not think to take pictures for this review so I can only describe. I cannot give this place more than 2 stars. Let me start off by saying the food was fine, not horrible and not amazing but just O.K. given the prices at least. But the whole place including the bathroom was just plain dirty and grimy. The table cloths were stained and fraying and the tables themselves needed a good wash too. It looked like there were stains even on the walls. We had a large party and called ahead to make sure the tables could be ready before we arrived and yet when we came the only person working there said they had received no call and did not offer to set up the tables for us. The appetizers arrived very late and the server did not give extra plates so we could share. not even extra napkins. When the food was finally ready it took forever to get to everyone because there was only one server it seemed in the entire place. When I went to use the bathroom I was again disgusted, nearly no toilet paper, the floor was wet and sticky, the toilet took forever to hold down before it would flush. It fit in with everything else because the whole place was dirty. I am even giving this place two stars only because the food was not horrible and the server tried his best considering he was the only one there. Edit: I forgot to mention that its ridiculous to charge 1.75 for a can of soda. My entire party was confused on whether they had coke or pepsi products because they showed pepsi products on the counter and brought us diet cokes? Fine by me because I like coke but if youre looking for a certain product they will give you whatever they have without bothering to specify.

My first review because I couldnt believe how this place is still in operation. Lets start with the restroom, this in itself will keep me from coming back. Looked as if urin in urinal had not been flushed in days, aroma was very unpleasant. Floor was sticky, I honestly felt I was cleaner by not washing my hands. Lamb was not fresh, clearly had been in refrigeration for days as it was dry, tasteles, cold and tough. Customer service was mediocre, just brought my food out for a take out and did not have any exchange of words as youd expect for a customer. Plenty of better options available for greek food in the area.

We have been getting food from this place for the past 3-4 years and I can safely say they are one of the best restaurants in the area that serve mediterranean food. We usually order pizza and wings but I have also tried their hummus, baba ghanoush and shawarmas and they are good. Not the same quality that you get in the mid-east but overall its as good as it can get. Their delivery service is good too. They serve it hot and fresh. Their restaurant is clean and has ample parking outside.

Ive ordered delivery to my hotel on two different trips here for business. Each time I received the food quickly (once in less than 15 minutes), and enjoyed the flavor. I had the Gyro sandwich each time, great tzatziki; I ordered, and received, extra tzatziki each time. Greek salad was also good, with a genuine dressing that you could see the herbs in, again, tasty. I would definitely recommend to travelers looking for good delivery!

I love Mediterranean food so I had to give it a try. The food had little flavor and was completely overpriced for the portions offered. I had the sampler platter for $15. It was just sad. They arent set up properly for dining in. They served us our food and then they sat behind the counter the rest of the time. The can of soda for $2.75 was just icing on the cake for this very very disappointing experience. Well never go back.

I order take out here regularly. Although they have a large menu, ive only had the Greek food which is excellent! Theres only a places in Frederick that offer Mediterranean and this one is top of my list. Prices are average for area. Service is always friendly. Plenty of seating inside...sort of a Diner feel, very low-key & casual.

Is it possible to give 1 million stars?! This place is so great! We drove an hour to go to our favorite Thai place near by. Unfortunately they had a 45 minute wait. So we googled another restaurant open late nearby and was led here....no regrets!!! Their pita and hummus is so great I got it to-go for our hour ride home!

Very good pork souvlaki - Dolmades and spanikopita were, excellent too. As others have mentioned, the spices used were more Egyptian than Greek, but the dishes are still very tasty. Excellent service. Conveniently located in the renovated/restored Prospect Plaza shopping center (S. Jefferson & Braddock).

Got the veggie veggie pizza and hummus and wasnt impressed. Veggies are fresh but pizza was doughy and tasted like an undercooked version of papa johns....Hummus was watery and lacked flavor. I am not a cook at all and Ive made some at home before that tasted better....and this is a greek restaurant!

The new lady had a seriously hard time taking my order for a pizza. I had to repeat everything multiple times and it took her forever because of the computer. I would recommend writing it down. I love this place and everything they offer but I have no idea what just happened.

Food was good. You buy soda by the can with no refills. Man behind the counter was very chatty as we were the only people in the restaurant. Was worth the try but may not go back. Subs and sandwiches dont come with chips or fries so that is extra cost.

good food but with a twist. At the Greek dishes are done in an Egyptian style. The dolmades of rice and lamb did not taste like the Greek version; rather they had Egyptian spices and tomato sauce in with the lamb. Very good. Very nice owners.

Food is good but i strongly suggest do not order for delivery as they charge you an extra dollar in addition to the total mentioned in the bill which includes a delivery charge. I am not sure who gets that extra dollar on each delivery.

Best Calzone ever!! they have the yummiest cheese in the whole US! order pizza or anything and you wont regret it. the only downside is that their steak calzone had less of meat and more of cheese. but worth every single penny!

I just got takeout from here and I have to say it was a complete waste of money. Very disapointing. Maybe in the recession this place has cut its food quality. I dont know but we will never go back.

Love the food at this restaurant. They are friendly and fast. Its not expensive or cheap. Everything on the menu is excellent. My favorite is the gyros and the pizza.

Wrong delivery order and not very willing to fix the issue...tzatziki was mediocre and lamb shawarma was tough
