It serves Greek salad and its variants from Crete and Santorini, fava (split-pea purée), bouyiourdi (feta cooked with tomato and chili), soutzoukakia (meatballs with tomato and mint), grilled meats and a hearty mezze menu (two-person minimum and a little pricey) with assorted Greek and Cypriot specialties. Pleasant courtyard and options for vegans.
