Overall, we love this place. It is our go-to Greek spot. It is casual, quick, and always delicious. We've dined in and taken out. Something about eating it there is just better though! I recommend highly - salad and gyros - :)

My sister is a student nearby and this little secret is always a go to. The food is absolutely superb and the staff was very friendly. Don’t fill up on the warm pita appetizers, because the entrees are the main event. I am a fan of the “happy waiter” and the “Molsaki” was some of the best you’ll ever have outside Greece, or Astoria haha. Please get the Baklava, you’ll be thankful.

I got tired of overpaying at Turkish restaurants, and since our cuisine is basically the same as our brothers the Greeks, I turned to this place instead. This has become my new Mediterranean favorite. All the staff are very attentive and prepare anything you want in no time. I’ll definitely start recommending this place everywhere I go. The lamb chops were my favorite. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

We went there tonight and I have to tell you we had the best Souvlaki sandwich I’ve had since I left Queens years ago. Even the oven lemon potato’s were great! The service was not only great but friendly as well. The portions were insanely huge and the prices were in line with any other place I’ve been to, even better. We can’t wait to go back.

We enjoyed the lunch at Akropolis. We had the spinach pie, the fried zucchini, and the Chicken Souvlaki. While all the dishes were good, we especially enjoyed the spinach pie. The spinach was well seasoned, and it wasn't overwhelmed by the cheese,etc. It was pretty busy for a weekday lunch. Service was good and prompt.

We haven't been there in years, as we moved further west. We were in the area and decided to go. Well, we will be making the trip more regularly, it was fantastic. The service was outstanding. The chicken orzo soup was amazing. We loved all the food and the price was very reasonable! it really couldn't have been any better!

The place is situated in a non-descript mall with have to stores empty. We were here on a Saturday around 5pm got seated right away. The chickpea salad that you get is absolutely delicious. This was our first time here, so I wanted to make sure I had a good meal that represented the restaurant's quality of work. I told the waitress I didn't eat red meat. She recommended the stuffed chicken with feta and spinach. The food was absolutely delicious I highly recommend it.
