“My first time at its all Greek to me and what a shock. This place is amazing. Ive gotten so used to customer service is so bad in Christchurch that I forgot what good customer service is. By far the best staff I’ve seen anywhere in Christchurch. It’s like stepping back in time to when people cared. And the food was perfection. I’ve had a souvlaki every week or so for years and their souvlaki was the best I’ve ever had. ♡” –Abby Booker
