I have been eating Greek food for most of my life and Djonisi did not disappoint. Their Greek Village salad is amazing. Best Saganaki appetizer. Our group of 8 all were very happy with their dinners. We will be back. .

We had a craving for Greek and had heard great things. Im here to confirm its very true. We had the meze plate appetizer and the platter for 2. All of it was delicious, and we were made to feel right at home. Ended the night with some fantastic Greek Moka and the wife had an Iced Cappuccino.
