Great Mediterranean dinner spot. Chicken and Beef Shawarma sandwiches are excellent. The baba ganoug and tzatziki sauce was so yummy. We got to meet the owner who shared her/her husband’s origin story that brought them to start this delicious restaurant. Also, the waitress was excellent. We loved eating here. The atmosphere was easy, calm and there was lots of interesting things to look at on the wall. We would definitely come back again.

Service was fast & the staff was friendly. The appetizers were great, but the main course lacked a little flavor. The hummus was great! Overall, had a good time.

The best restaurant in Hot Springs. The service from start to finish was perfect. Wonderful menu and our server Olivia was friendly, helpful and gave us the best service. She knows her wines and made excellent choices for us. We ordered the salmon, paella and the no lettuce salad all wonderful. The homemade Avgolemono soup and sides, broccoli the best ever. Beautiful setting, easy parking and We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Went today for the first time and loved it! The lighting and atmosphere gave it a calm romantic feel. The food had a beautiful presentation and tasted as good as it looked. Our server was probably the best part of all though! Ashley was so sweet and personable. She took the time to interact with us, gave us suggestions, didn't rush us, and just really brightened our day. We recommend the spaghetti and meatballs which look like something from a fine dining establishment and The Goat burger which was huge! You definitely get your money's worth with that burger portion size. And the tiramisu for dessert... I don't even usually like tiramisu but tried some of my husband's out of curiosity because it looked so good and it was so delicious and fluffy! I could have ordered another for myself. Definitely will go back.

We enjoyed the beef and chicken Shawarma for two. The meat was juicy and tender, and the portion size was plenty. The hummus is very good and if you are a cheese connoisseur, try the twisted feta. Was so into the food that I forgot to take a picture of our main course also, the service was very friendly and they were very attentive.

Ver nice casual atmosphere, great Mediterranean aromas when you walk in. Wait staff (Stevie) are very nice and attentive. The food is great. I had a homemade red lentil soup and traditional gyro. The gyro was almost too big. Lots of meat and great flavor. The baklava was an excellent way to finish the meal.
