Family dinner Saturday night party of 8, very disappointed with the food, had to return one steak due to was not cooked as... requested, took long to get it back, all stated that the food was not very warm and the plate served with the rice, salad,potatoes and bread wasn?t very good.

The hours on Google say they're open til 10. Drove 30 minutes to get here just to find the doors locked. When we called to find... out what was going on, they said that they wasn't open until then and that they "can't" change the hours on Google. As abusiness owner, knowing that a vast majority of my business comes from Google search... I'd definitely make a priority to figureout to to reach out to Google business support to change any inaccuracies that could cause a loss of business. Read more
I've been wanting to stop in at this restaurant for years, but I just never thought of it. I finally did. I was not impressed.... The decor is lovely, except for the "CCW WELCOME" sticker on the main entrance. The bar is odd - a low counter-bar, withrolling chairs to sit in. i felt like i was at the kid's table at thanksgiving. The food....well the fries were good. I gotan appetizer sampler, with hummus, dolmades, and baba ghanoush. The hummus was pretty good. the dolmades had no flavor exceptthat murky bitey flavor of the grape leaves. The baba ghanoush was the most unappetizing color I've ever seen - i kind ofgritty grey, with a vague hint of brown. And, it was bland...tasteless. baba ghanoush should have some bite to it, a bit ofheat. The pita was ungrilled and dry - i would have to guess it was cut and left out for a while. I also got a gyro w fries. At first I couldn't find the tzatziki, but it was hiding in a thin layer under the gyro meat. The sandwich was mostly pita. Afew strips of lettuce (??) and a couple chunks of onion. While the gyro meat was pretty good, there wasn't that much of it, andwithout much onion or tzatziki it left the sandwich rather bland. Considering they tout their belly dancers, I was expectingmore authentic middle-eastern fare, maybe a Doner kabab or even an Iskender, maybe some Turkish tea, or syrian coffee....Themenu is loosely middle eastern, i'd say more Greek island than Turkish, but with less mint. except for the meze and lunches,everything is "family style" - you pay one price for a table's worth including salad, i assume bread, entree etc. I wasn't thathungry, so i passed on that option. I did go during a very slow time - the lull between lunch and dinner, on a Tuesday. But....I was severely disappointed in the food. They appear to be terrified of spices of any kind. The bartender was lovely andfriendly, and attentive. I found myself wondering about her life, how she ended up tending bar in a sle Read more
Prime rib was awful. Waiter was arrogant and did nothing when I alerted him to the prime rib. Too bad because the rest of the... food was delicious. Probably not going back. I'm not recommending this place. It used to be great. Read more
We did not enjoy the food, it was all very dry and it all tasted bland, crunchy and old fashioned somehow. It also didn't seem... very fresh. It's all family style dining but you don't get to choose what's all on your platter under what you order. I'm fact,the menu doesn't even explain it at all, so we ended up with a lot of food we don't eat. The whole place just gave the feelingthat everything there needs a serious upgrade and overhaul. There are plenty of better Mediterranean restaurants in Canton. Skipthis one. Read more
Had reservations for noon on Easter Sunday. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was great. Restaurant was clean. Staff... was on point. Food was super yummy. Only negative is that the food wasn't very hot but our strip steaks were done to aperfect medium rare. Sat next to an amazing family that shared their dessert with us. Made for a great 60th birthday also. Read more
This place is amazing. Food was good, nice atmosphere, waitress was very knowledgeable in the food and drinks. The pumpkin... martini was amazing. Needed a bit more lighting. Overall I would come back for their salad. Read more
