Went there for dinner tonight. As we weren't very hungry we just shared one Greek salad and chicken gyros (only 320vnd in total) and two soft drinks. The staff did not try to pressure us to order more food or drinks in any way and acted as if they really appreciated us being there. Good atmosphere and awesome food! Can't... More

The reviews on tripadvisor about this restaurant were spot on about how lovely this little place was. Food is good - we went for mostly Greek choices and were pleased with everything. The moussaka was very different but tasty nonetheless. Lamb skewers were excellent - I guess can't go wrong with skewered or grill choices when restaurant is named after... More

Everything, Atmosphere, food, crew and Chef, make my dinner experience relevant at the point to end the pleasure with a Cuban cigar... Not much to say more...

Seems very popular with the expat crowd. Can get very crowded so best to book and ask for a table downstairs if they have one free. Food good but not fantastic. Service OK

Had this bookmarked to try, and maybe I had high expectations, but was a little let down. Came for lunch and were quickly sat. We told our server that we were there for a quick lunch break from work, so please bring everything out as it was ready. My companion ordered a mixed seafood pasta, while I went for a... More

Great value for money meal with speedy service, you can see into the clean busy kitchen. The set up is really nice. My only minor complaint (and this happens a lot in Saigon) - let the customer put the parmesan on for themselves, in my case if it goes on it ruins my meal. Luckily I caught the waitress before...

Grassfed beef steaks done to perfection.Lamb chops. Mashed potatoes that melt in your mouth. Mushroom soup and Greek Salad. I want them all. Spaghetti Bolgnaise best in the world. Hot bread with real butter. Death by chocolate!!! Only I choose vanilla ice cream but the Apple Cinnamon Tortilla is another favorite. My only complaint is I like them all so... More

overall acceptable, food was not really what I was expecting but if you go for an easy and unpretentious meal on the cheap side this can be a choice, service was good
