What to Order
Lamb Kleftiko / Lamb Chops
This lamb dish, whether Kleftiko or chops, is consistently praised for its flavor and quality, often highlighted as a standout main.
"The lamb was the highlight for us and would highly recommend it!"
Sally Li
Horiatiki
A refreshing take on Greek salad, noted for its balanced flavors and subtle mint syrup marinade that mellows the feta and olives.
"The Horiatiki was a really pleasant take on greek salad. The server who was tending to us said that it was marinated in mint syrup and it was subtle, but it dulled the sharp taste of feta and olives."
Mark Cheng
Scallop Crudo
This appetizer features delicate scallops with a flavorful vinaigrette, offering a bright and acidic start to the meal.
"The vinaigrette gives the scallop that taste of acid and flavour."
Mark Cheng
Lime Leaf Chicken
A perfectly cooked chicken dish, packed with flavor and memorable enough to be thought about long after the meal.
"The lime leaf chicken (I believe it was thigh) was completely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavour, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about the next day."
