The restaurant has been "in the works" for over a year, and, as you can imagine, residents of Hartsdale have been waiting to see if what was finally unveiled has the staying power to make it on a tough corner with no parking. Our review:

Pro's
The flavors are great. The shrimp were of outstanding quality with subtle flavors of lemon, parsley, and oregano. The lemon potatoes were so tasty. The grilled chicken was moist and flavorful. The food taste reflects all of the best things about Greek cuisine, fresh, flavorful, and bright.

Con's
The grilled chicken pita sandwich came with french fries in the pita. This style of sandwich may be suitable for some areas but locals here are health conscious and the restaurant should warn you the fries will be in the pita rather than on the side. Also, there was too much tzatziki on the sandwich -- it was overkill. The lemon potatoes were oversalted.

The shrimp platter had too few shrimp for the pricetag of $ 20 and the only side options were carbs (french fries, rice, or potatoes). It would have been nice to see a veggie side or a small salad side option. Overall the protein to dish ratio was a little underwhelming and that makes for less of a value than it should.

The owner seemed friendly and enthusiastic and the space was welcoming. The food took a bit longer than it should considering there were only two other people in the restaurant. The decor is simple and pleasing. The tables should be wiped down after each guest and we did not find them that way when we sat down. The Greek music was lovely but it seemed outdated -- poppier Greek music would make for a hipper vibe.

We will definitely be back, in fact I will try it again this evening for dinner. read less

The owners are froendly and lovely, the food area clean.
I got a Falafel to go and it was pretty darn good in spite of the fact that if you don't want your French fries in the pita you have to tell them ahead of time. Who knew? In addition, the falafel is served with tzatziki and not tzahiki. All though it
was good with tzahiki on it I really do prefer tahini.
I was surprised to see a small dining area in the back of the restaurant.
For my next visit, I think I'll eat there instead of getting my food to go. read less

Amazing place. Delicious food, generous portions, decently priced, and super friendly service. 100% recommended!!!

Last month when I was there to get take out, they said they had some permit problem for their chairs and tables which was all gone. I've seen this happen too many times in Westchester and hope that will not kill the business. The food was delicious and I was hoping it would be another go-to place. Parking can be an issue around the area, but there is a parking lot across the street. You have to look for it or you may miss the entrance. They will also help with roadside pick up and there's street parking. Pork souvlaki pita sandwich, hummus, yankee bean soup was all good and the baklava was the best! Hope to see them open the next time I drive by. read less

Just sat down for dinner and one wouldnt expect delicious gyros in Westchester. Definitely recommend this place

Great gyro. Baba ganouse way too salty.
