    Authentic cuisine. My salad with the calamari was delicious. Chicken dish with rice was just ok. Chicken was seasoned well but the rice wasn’t that great. Wait time was slow but the bread they served was hot and delicious. Owner welcomed us and an overall family feeling as you would expect.

    I just wish they had more vegetarian protein options like falafel or revithokeftedes ... But the Greek salad was fresh and the dressing light, lots of yummy feta. Our server was really great too!

    Authentic Greek food. You have to love it. I chose a light meal - fish with rice. I thought everything was delicious. Tried Greek fries for the first time: fries with fetta cheese on top. I enjoyed them. I also had the pleasure of meeting Spiro. Cool guy. Welcomed me to the restaurant and chatted with me for a bit. I'll put Greece on my travel list. Being there certainly influenced my decision.

    The BEST item on the menu is Vegetarian Moussaka. Yum! They take great care of us. Victor and John are super awesome waiters. Can't wait to go again!

    Ugh such bad food and service here. Owner wouldn’t stop hitting on our females friends at the table while completely avoiding anything a man had to say. Pastichio and Mousaka were all macaroni with barely any meat in a super sweet sauce, either cheap or had sugar added.

    Authentic Greek restaurant with friendly owner and waitstaff. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. The chocolate frog for dessert was cute and good.

    Been going here for years. Absolutely love the food and the owner is always nice and attentive. The gyros are some of the best I've had. It's always so hard to decide what to get because the chicken is awesome too. Oh and don't forget the friend calamari.

    We have been looking for a Greek restaurant that has lemon rice soup for sometime and finally found it at Papspiros. The soup was perfect! The Chicken Souvlaki was had a rich taste and the rice pilaf complemented nicely. Our waiter was great he made sure our drinks were filled and our bread basket always had bread. The owners made us feel welcomed by coming over and talking to us about our experience and told us some stories. We will be back again.

    I have had so many Greek foods all around, this one is the worst one ever, the food was not tasty at all, they messed up my Salamon order, they never add any side of rice, the chicken was unseasoned and unsalted so I’ll let you imagine the tast, the most wasted $100 I ever spend

    The food was tasty and very very filling. The Tsiziki was wonderful. Thicker than I was used to getting in Israel, but delicious and spreadable which was nice. I highly recommend the Artichoke-Spinach Pasta. It was delightful. And the server was kind and patient.

    We had an early NYE dinner here, and have been coming here a couple of times each year for about the last 3 years. We've always had an excellent meal with friendly, fast service (and they encourage you to hang out if you like). I'm writing this because we tried the grilled octopus appetizer, and it was prepared so well.....tender & delicious! Sometime if it's not cooked right, it's tough. The chef does his magic with this appetizer. Saginaki & shared a small Greek salad as well. My main course was Dolmathes & my husband had the fried smelts which were so very good. We finished with sharing the baklava with the custard in the middle as recommend by our server David. It was a great way to end the year with a visit from Spiro, great service from David & the live entertainment. We've been to Greece before & Spiro serves it up just as well! We highly recommend this restaurant for their great food & superb service!

    Food was excellent. Service was good. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. The rice soup we had was fantastic. I couldn't decide what I wanted and went with the combination plate and it wasn't too much food. My wife went w the chicken, and that was just perfect. The baklava was very good also. Parking was not bad. Street can be noisy.

    What a great experience we had here. Starting with the service, our waiter did a great job taking care of us. Very knowledgeable about the food and the combinations. I had the lamb shank with Greek potatoes. The flavors are there and the meat was melting. It's a small place and I, not only recommend this place but I'll be back here for sure.

    Just got this magnificent gyro with a side of Greek fries! Everything tastes great! UberEATS driver got it to me and it was still hot. Great portion sizes at affordable prices, especially how things are right now.

    Such a great classic Greek restaurant. I’ve been eating here for years - and the food is consistently good- love the spanikopeta and dolmathes and moussaka! Best to order the combo platter to get a taste of everything. The service is phenomenal and it’s so quaint.

    I've walked by this place countless times, so when my friend suggested we come here for Sunday brunch I was on board. This place did not disappoint! We helped ourselves to the buffet and ordered a few appetizers as well as some drinks. The service here is phenomenal without being overwhelming. They genuinely want to ensure you like everything, which was not a problem. Fantastic food fantastic service - can't wait to come back!
