"Walked by and saw that this place had a good vibe so we asked for a table. It was easy and quick to seat us and everyone was very accommodating, esp our server Rayhan. My husband and I got the greek salad, grilled sea bream and spiced lamb to share. We enjoyed our dinner very much. Thank you Manakis..."
