    We took some friends to try this local owned restaurant and they were impressed. Other friends brought us last year and we have been here a couple times since and it never disappoints. It's a quaint place and the owner is very personable. We had the chicken lemon soup, beet app. (Not shown) and some entrees. The best part is they have unique deserts you won't find anywhere. We tried the cheesecake baklava and it was amazing!! Try this out as they have plenty of seating but parking is busy so I recommend street parking on South side street across from restaurant. You can thank me later. 😉

    Staying at Pompano beach area for europeans means there are a lot of fish places but american style( oversized portions and often tasteless). We've found this place and decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. Delish traditional dips, amazing branzino with most delish sauce ( mine) and juicy octopus( my husbands dish)

    A nice family-owned place on Atlantic Blvd, a little west of Federal Hwy. Our server explained that everything here is made to order, and the menu is on blackboards on the wall. We started with a Horiatiki salad with a side of Gyro. A big traditional Greek Salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, green peppers, feta, with oil and balsamic vinegar. The gyro was crispy and seasoned perfectly. This is definitely big enough to share. Chicken Souvlaki platter came with 6 pieces of seasoned chicken on a bed of rice with a small salad. You could tell it was cooked to order as it was so fresh. This wonderful little restaurant made some of the best, authentic Greek food I've had in a while. Atmosphere is cozy, quaint, and there was a nice flow of regulars and frequent diners who knew the owners and each other. Nice charm and excellent food.

    I use to love this place for their lamb chops. However, recently I ordered them and was greatly disappointed. The lamb chops were full of fat, the rice looked good but had no flavor whatsoever and instead of vegetables, they give you a little pile of lettuce with nothing on it (at least give a little greek salad). Did I mention their prices went up as well? I definitely won't be going back again. I'm a big foodie and you can tell there was no pride put in their dish...they only want $$

    This restaurant is amazing! Their food is authentic and made fresh to order. From the perfectly balanced herb butter they serve with warm pita to the best tzatziki I have ever had, even their french fries are perfectly made! I ordered the gyro platter and loved every bite! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner/chef and she Is absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to trying all the other delicious offerings on her menu.

    A gem in Pompano Beach with delicious Greek selections and world-class customer service. We catered a large dinner party from here a bit blindly based on great reviews. I'm so glad we did! The owner was super helpful in suggesting a great menu over the phone. The food was ready perfectly on time when I went by to pick it up, all piping hot. At home, all of the food was authentic and delicious, and the clear winners were the lamb chops, which were perfectly seasoned and done just right, and octopus, which was tender and juicy. The food was a major hit with everyone at the party. It was clear the proprietor is putting pride and hard work into his business and kitchen, and those came through in every aspect of our experience. For instance when we realized I forgot to pick up the desert, he arranged for someone to deliver it to our place personally in just minutes. He also followed up on the phone during the party to make sure everyone was happy. Simply excellent food and service.

    The restaurant is very clean and the food is absolutely delicious!! For anyone who likes Greek or Mediterranean food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. The owner is such a nice man and he is Greek. I will definitely continue to give this place my business. The baked Feta Cheese appetizer is exquisite.

    Great experience and phenomenal food, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. I’ve been eyeballing this place because it’s so close to me and has such an inviting look. But I will say after trying to food I am here to stay! We started with the octopus to share. It was delicious, flavored with lemon and spices and grilled enough where the inside was still super tender. It came with a side of tomato salad and olive oil drizzle. Then we went for the pita bread & butter which was super flavorful and such a great addition. The sea food pasta was delicious, adorned with shrimp, squid and clams. It was everything I could wish for. My husband for the swordfish with rice and salad. Also a phenomenal choice. The dishes tasted fresh and home made which we found to be charming. Another plus is the size of the plates. While it was too much for one sitting I am fond of taking leftovers, but I’m sure some people will find comfort in knowing you won’t leave hungry. They had tons of wine options that paired well with the food, and our waiter was knowledgeable in the dish to drink pairing so if there’s any doubt you can always ask him. I will say I was a bit taken with the prices of the plates, but after seeing the size of it I can understand why. The restaurant has a modern look to it which was something I did not expect, since the building outside is somewhat rustic. Overall, great experience and I hope to return soon.

    Incredible as per usual! A gem of a restaurant! I come here every time I’m in Pompano! Confession: I dream about the octopus dinner when I’m not in town. 🐙

    A small restaurant with an abundance of personal service and really fantastic authentic Greek offerings. Atmosphere is relax and modern and the food was excellent. The owner is very friendly and willing to engage in conversation and explain the origin of dishes. I would highly recommend!!

    A Mediterranean burger with fries and a cheeseburger pita with a side salad. Nice comfortable place with quick service. Would have taken more pictures but ate it all. Nice place for lunch with some great flavors.

    I want to start off by saying that the owner is really nice and the service was really great. The food however was just ok. I’ve had better tzatziki , the spicy feta was ok, and the eggplant dip was missing something. Greek salad was good. Rice was a little overcooked and the Chicken was dry. Pita bread did not seem home made. For the price I was really hoping this was going to be great but it was a miss in my books. Maybe it was an off night.

    Great Foods Awesome service Bronzini fish so tender and the octopus cut with the folk ❤️

  • 5/5 Alexander D. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was wonderful. We had the beet salad and octopus starters which were incredible. The octopus was tender and juicy whilst being charred deliciously. We had seafood pasta and the grilled fish which were both wonderful. The fish was delicate a herbaceous with delicious rice and salad. The pasta was also lovely without an overpowering fishy flavor to the sauce. All the food was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.

    Excellent food! I ordered grilled chicken Souvlaki and it was delicious! Everything is made to order and you could tell by the freshness and taste. The restaurant is small with a very welcoming feel. The music is very relaxing also. The service was outstanding. I would highly recommend and will be back!

    We ordered the gyro platter and the moussaka, as well as the Greek yogurt mousse for dessert. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. Service was also excellent.

  • 5/5 Tracey W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, awesome atmosphere. The Greek salad was perfect. The Gyro plate was so much food! I love that they have Mythos beer. The music and video from Greece were beautiful. Fast and friendly service. We will definitely be back!!

    I absolutely love this restaurant, it feels like home from the moment you walk in! The team is so nice and knowledgeable and makes it a pleasure to dine! Their lunch is extremely affordable compared to other businesses in the area, and so fresh! Dinner is such a good portion for the price! We always make sure to bring friends from out of town to enjoy authentic Greek food! Thank you Ammos family for all the delicious food and laughs!

    Wow what an experience. Everything here is incredible. I will have to go back and try more things before writing a detailed review but my initial experience exceeded my expectations and the owners are so nice.
