   Locally owned and operated, a quintillion "Mom and Pop" place that embraces a local charm. The couple running the restaurant were very pleasant and sociable, the food was very good and the ambiance was enjoyable. Flavors were authentic, although the shawarma was a tad overdone and the chicken was dry. My lamb shank was very good, but could have used a touch more seasoning. Prices were not cheap, but appropriate for the entrees (although I thought the appetizers were a bit pricy!). All in all, an enjoyable dinner.

   Excellent experience in every respect. Very nice wine list, a representatives set of Turkish dishes very well prepared, and excellent service. The owner was very much engaged. It is white tablecloth but not overly formal. Reasonable prices for the quality. We'll be back.

   The beef kebab and the stuffed eggplant were both excellent . Both were served with salad, vegetables , rice and tzatziki making them a complete , tasty meal. The baklava would have been very good had it not been too cold, just out of the fridge. Were it not for it I would have given 5 stars. The service was very very good and friendly , typical of a restaurant run by the owner. We very much appreciated the white linen tablecloths. We will be in Williamsburg for one week and we plan to go back, this time probably for lunch .

   This is a cozy corner bistro located in Williamsburg’s tony Town Center, a 21st century mixed use development reminiscent of the Truman Show. The restaurant appears to be a father and son operation with Greek specialties on the lower end of fine dining. The host/waiter/busboy seated us and took our order with courtesy and enthusiasm that failed to portend the disappointing experience to come. The menu featured the usual array of moderately priced Greek dips, appetizers and entrees. Unfortunately, the quality was lacking. Our eggplant dip was 80% mayonnaise mixed with small chunks of eggplant and whole cloves of garlic - not the traditional recipe to which I’m accustomed. The grilled chicken and lamb entrees were tasty but lacked creativity in their preparation, although the side dishes of mixed greens salad, rice and sautéed vegetables were tasty. Service was a bit slow and at times inattentive for what’s implied by the high ratings on the Open Table website.

    So fun! I really enjoyed being able to try a wine that was from Armenia and they had other regional wines that looked interesting. The food was a little pricey but everything was delicious. We got an order of Turkish delight which is homemade and completely different than what I had had from a box in a Mediterranean deli. It was so good that we got an extra order to share with some guests the next day. Will definitely be going back!
