“ The chef’s dedication and passion towards Greek food is what makes this place so special and unique. The vegetarian options are also cooked with care and perfection - it’s such a phenomenal restaurant to celebrate the very art of food making. The chef’s passion towards the preparation of the food is literally “Chef’s kiss.” It might take a little longer for your order because the food is being prepared with utmost care - I took one star away for service speed (4/5) but it’s understandable. And also worth it. ”

“ This Greek Cafe is an institution in Altadena! Made with love the menu offers authentic Greek flavors. The owner and his staff are attentive and so pleasant. The entrees are delish, my kids love the Souvlaki Chicken and the Lule is flavorful both served with fluffy rice. The creamy chicken soup is the definition of comfort with the right amount of lemon taste. I was so incredibly happy to know they are open again having survived the Eaton fire. ”
