I used to think poké was another word for salad. Now, I know it is SO MUCH MORE. Delicious

Everything was magnificent! Rare these days.

The food was great! I saw an opinion that some of the food lacked spices. As a father of young kiddos, I appreciate the balance of spice, flavour etc. to be palatable by a broad patron base. I have no doubt they would adjust to my liking. 😊

The service is top notch! Friendly, caring and considerate. Anytime someone sees I have kids and asks if I'd like extra napkins, and kids cups with a lid and straw, my heart is warmed. 😄

The atmosphere brings you across the ocean to a local spot having some of the best authentic, local cuisine of the area. 👌🏾

All around, this a gem in the JoCo area when it comes to some good Meddetaraian food. Don't hesitate, trust them with your business today! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vegetarian options: No meat? No problem! Plenty of veggie options to fill you up. 🌿

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, with great selection! Kids pizza was a big hit. 🍕  🍅

Hands down one of the best places I have EVER eaten at!!! The Hummus was to die for!!!! The owner was even the one to take our order and serve us!!! This is such a friendly place and the amount of food you get leads to having left overs!!! I have found a new favorite place!!!

Dietary restrictions: My husband has a seafood and dairy allergy so we are always caution but this places has sauces made with no dairy!!!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu looked amazing!!!

Went with some family that LOVE Mediterranean food. We ordered a few appetizers to try out including the hummus, grape leaves, and falafel. They said it was some of the best they've ever had and considering they eat it more than I do I will take their word for it. You can tell it's a small family run restaurant and they were very accommodating to our needs and even brought us extra bread for our hummus without us asking. I got a shrak wrap and my brother got a gyro. My wrap was okay but I have definitely had better. The pistachio baklava was also okay in comparison to some others I've had.
