“ We had a fabulous dinner on 6/18/25 and Richard was our waiter. My friend and I were traveling with our 4 girls and wanted some delicious Greek food. Two of our daughters were having a hard time and my friend and I were completely drained. Richard was attentive and the kindest person in the exact moment that we needed it. The food was delicious and the girls are still talking about how great the ice cream was. A definite place to stop and eat for some great Greek food and the best service in Savannah that we had for our whole trip! Definitely a family friendly atmosphere! ”
“ Great place to eat! We had dinner and the food was a large plate of delicious!! Server was very kind and checked on us more than once and offered good advice on food. This may be a Georgia thing - there is a small charge for paying by card. Wonderful place and seating was quick on a Saturday! ”
“ We stumbled onto this restaurant after we tried so many places along River street and they all had 1-2 hour wait. We walked in and the hostess said she could seat us immediately. The place was crowded, so I was glad we did not have to wait. This is such a nice atmosphere. The wait staff were really nice. Even the owner came around asking everyone how the meal and service was. That is such a nice touch! We got the Chicken Kabob sandwich and Chicken Kabob dinner and a Greek salad. It was delicious. We really have not eaten Greek food before, but we really enjoyed it. Next time we are in Savannah we will stop in again to try some other yummy dishes. ”
“ We ate here on Thursday ,May 15, 2025. Atmosphere puts you in another time and place. Limited seating but guess we timed it right by arriving around 8pm on a weekday. No problem getting a table. We ordered the lemon chicken and a gyro plate. The location is right near the river and just across from Belles Ferry drop-off. This was perfect for us coming from the Westin across the river. We could relax and not have to walk far. Our goal was to just enjoy a relaxing meal on vacation. The decor put our minds at ease and we almost felt as if we had been invited into someone's private courtyard. This was the second time coming here in 3 years. Also our second visit to Savannah. The food is good. My chicken wad just how I like it with the tangy lemon and simple flavors. ”
“ We are no strangers to Greek food so when we find A restaurant that is authentic as this we have to make sure we acknowledge it. The staff and owner were so welcoming and the experience hit home. After a long day of fishing and exploring the city this was exactly what we needed to top off our day. After dinner we were surprised with fresh baklava and some Greek Samos wine. We will be back!! ”
“ Charming atmosphere and food is still made in house from scratch. The Dolma is the best I’ve ever had. This restaurant has a that special touch only an owner who has put his heart and soul into can provide an experience that makes life worth living through. Love, love love this place! ”
“ Wonderful authentic Greek food! The owner is actually from Greece and is a very sweet, friendly man. Our waitress was very nice, polite, and knowledgeable. I will be coming back here. Loved every moment of it! ”
“ Excellent dinner tonight. From the greeting, seating and attentive service (thank you, Charm), to the final bites of dinner, everything was wonderful. I had the gyro, my daughter the falafel gyro and my wife indulged in the moussaka (with potatoes, rice/peas. Everything was flavorful, fresh, hot and seasoned and prepared extremely well. Fair prices as well for a waterfront top notch meal! Highly recommend! ”
