Good food 
I have been to this restaurant many times. The food is good. The service is very good. The hummus is awesome! It is a bit noisy if the room is full. It can get very crowded at lunch time.

Okay 
My co-worker and I went there for lunch and we both really enjoyed the Rotisserie Lamb Gyro. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The main dining room is large and spacious but way too loud. What I do not like is having to order yourself upfront but then later they provide you with a waiter. Why not just do one or the other? Although our waiter was extremely pleasant and prompt, is there really a need for such a role?

Great Food and Service 
I first went to this restuarant about 6 months ago. I ended up just getting the Hummus, and had that as my meal. Their Hummus is so so yummy! I also really love the Gyros! Their prices are great, and the wait staff is very attentive and friendly.

The best potatoes in Houston
I love the food here. The best lemon roasted potatoes ever! Everything I've tried is good except for the hummus. Too much garlic and not authentic tasting. The chicken and beef is wonderful and love the Greek salad. I wish it was a little more high-end instead of the open cafeteria style. I would rather have a waiter the entire time instead of ordering and then going to my seat.
Pros: The potatoes and Greek salad
Cons: Atmosphere

Overpriced, so so food, and service needs improvement
Totally disappointed, have been wanting to stop in and just never had time. Sorry, i made the time today. Service was so so, food very bland and overpriced, salad was more like lettuce soup with the amount of dressing that was put on. Wont go back, and definately wont recommend.
Pros: Got a table fast
Cons: Bad service, overpriced, food is so so

One of my favorite greek resturaunts
I usually get the plates instead of the the gyro's. It does cost more, but it comes with a lot of food and it tastes so good. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes greek food.
Pros: Great tasting food, very nice area, plenty of parking, friendly
Cons: price is a little high, but not terrible

The worst Greek food I've ever had in my life!!!
As a 40 year old Greek guy that lives in Athens Greece, I know Greek food and this place has no Greek food! I visited Houston in September of this year and met up with an old friend to eat some Greek food. Well, I have to say, that it was a clean restaurant, but sorry to say that I left 90% of my food on the plate and left with a bad feeling in my stomach. I say to all, this place does not serve Greek food, but some type of cheap canned-over priced-nasty something. And now, I'm in Athens and eating real Greek food. I'm actually upset with the name of this restaurant. Yia Yia means Grandmother and my Grandmother is more than likely rolling over in her grave with discust from this fake Greek restaurant.
Pros: Clean
Cons: Worst Greek food in Houston!

Don't waste your time or money
This place was the worst greek restaurant I have ever been to. I found Niko Niko's (on Montrose)to be a lot better quality than this one (also better in price). The food was all tasteless, you would need to have a few spices with you to make it taste right. Food was not, and I repeat NOT worth the money. Horrible place to dine. Waitstaff don't ever come back to check on you, you will feel like they forgot about you.
Pros: None, maybe parking?
Cons: Everything ranging from Food to service to price
