The family-owned restaurant offers many appetizers and entrées created from home-grown recipes. To help the tourists, as well as the locals, the menu even has a few photo inserts. Appetizers include saganski (flaming imported cheese) and skordalia (potato-garlic spread) while one of the best soups around is the traditional avgolemono (egg and lemon). But many come for the traditional Greek salad, which can be a meal in itself for one, two or four. It's a rich mass of lettuce, feta cheese, Greek olives, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, Greek peppers and oregano, topped with the traditional scoop of homemade potato salad. For lunch and dinner, in addition to the standard gyros, hamburgers and sandwiches, the menu offers spanakopita (spinach pie), dolmades (stuffed grape vine leaves) and combination platters. Seafood selections range from shrimp à la Hellas (pan-fried shrimp in butter and garlic) to leg of spring lamb or lamb chops. Don't forget to try the lamb shank with spaghetti, baked in fresh tomato sauce. For dessert, customers have a vast choice of authentic pastries from the on-site bakery.
