I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors of the Greek food at this restaurant. We started with the octopus appetizer, which was just okay—not great, not bad. I didn’t particularly enjoy how it was cooked, as it was a bit too soft and lacked the firm, springy texture I was hoping for in the tentacles. However, the sauce on top was quite good and helped bring some flavor to the dish.
We also ordered both the street gyro and lamb gyro sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious. The white yogurt sauce really elevated everything. The meat was a bit salty for my taste, but overall, the experience was still enjoyable.
The restaurant isn’t fancy, but it offers a down-to-earth atmosphere with great food. Despite arriving at 11:40 a.m. on a weekday, the place was packed, which speaks to its popularity.

By far some of the best Greek food in Omaha. They were super busy but still managed to provide excellent service. They ran out of clean cutlery for a bit and made sure to bring out to go cutlery so you had something until they could bring the normal cutlery out. Their menu is expansive with so many good choices. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal tonight!

I am not the most familiar with Greek flavors, however this place has some amazing food. We ordered the sampler of appetizers and were delighted with quality and quantity of food! The feta cheese was a standout! I also ordered the meal that came with chicken, a kebab and another choice. Everything was outstanding but the potatoes are heavenly. I could have eaten a plate of just those and have been perfectly happy. Our server was also very attentive!

Polyoraia! Definitely the best tiropita in the US. One of the rare places that puts an avgolemono sauce on the dolmathes. Like in Athens. And just as pleased with the Baklava! The clove makes it authentic. Overall the food was great. Healthy portions too. I had delivery so I can't comment on atmosphere or service. Just visiting Omaha, I would love to go back much more!

The food here is incredible! Every dish we’ve tried has been delicious, showcasing excellent flavor and creativity. However, we’ve found that the wooden chairs can be quite uncomfortable for longer dining experiences, especially for those of us with back issues. It would be great to see the addition of more comfortable seating options. In the meantime, we’ve been opting for takeout, which allows us to enjoy the fantastic food in a more relaxed setting.
