The diner is also one of the prettier diners I’ve been to. The interior is beautiful with paintings on the wall depicting Greece, plus mosaic tiling.

Ultimately I ordered one of my favorite diner items, a chicken souvlaki sandwich. To switch it up, I asked if my fries could be made “Greek style” which they did for me at no extra cost.

It was a great meal! It was so much meal that I ended up taking half of it home.

Before I left I had to get one of their black and white cookies to go, which were basically the size of my face. It didn’t take long before I ended up eating it.
