Best Greek food in the area hands down. We’ve had both takeout multiple times and eaten in. Gyro is flavorful, hummus is amazing and Greek salad is super fresh. Tried other things that were wonderful too. Only thing that would make this place perfect is if they made falafel!!

Overall, Nostimo was good. Octopus and calamari are must eats, definitely recommend getting those. Chicken skewers were good, rice complimented it well in my opinion. The service was excellent, with multiple people checking in and also giving us a free a dessert while we were finishing up our meal.

Been here a few times. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Food is awesome and fresh. Portions are good. Love the Greek village salad and feta wagyu beef burger. Chicken, fries, potatoes, rice always tasty.

Really cute new looking Greek restaurant. I went with a friend and we both got sandwich combos. I got the chicken gyro and my friend got the beef and lamb. They were both were packed with flavor, and not to mention were large portions sizes. We both got the avgolemono soup. It was lemony and had lots of chicken and for 4.49 with the drink was definitely worth it. The size was pretty amazing for the soup too about a bowl size at a normal restaurant. Staff was friendly and brought utensils to our table. They have a drive thru but it was not open when we went. Coke products for fountain drinks. Next time will definitely have to try the baklava ice cream!

So glad we found this place! I had the Nostimo Bowl, the spanikopita starter, and a Loux (lemon drink). Everything tastes amazing. Friendly, helpful service, spotless dining room beautifully decorated, and Greek music playing. Although menu is mostly meat, there's shrimp. Salads and some starters are good for vegetarians. We will be back!

Had lunch here with co workers, hands down one of the best chicken gyro sandwiches I ever had! Their smash burger was a total surprise too! Service was so friendly and I like that you order and take a number to your seat and they bring you your meal. During the visit a very friendly server brought out little samples of dessert that were out of this world! Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit. My one co worker said that he looks forward to catering from them for our next in office meeting.

I’m writing this as I devour what is, without question, the most incredible chicken gyro of my life. The pita is so tender it feels like it’s hugging the perfectly seasoned, juicy chicken. The mustard sauce? A genius move—tangy, bold, and absolutely unforgettable. Each bite is an explosion of flavor, with the freshness of the tomatoes balancing the richness of the sauce and chicken. Oh, and the fries tucked inside? Crispy perfection, adding just the right crunch to this masterpiece. I can’t even put it down—it’s that good. Whoever made this deserves a standing ovation!

Got a coupon in the mail and went to try it out - 10/10!!! So fresh and delicious, plus great portion sizes for the price. Did the drive thru so don’t know what the inside is like, but the worker was very friendly. Will definitely be back! (Chicken gyro pita pictured)
