Great food and great conversation deserves to be paired with great wine, like our Semeli Estate Feast Red.

This dry red varietal from Peloponnese, Greece blends Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to create a dense and intense wine with notes of fresh forest fruits, strawberries and cherries.

Bold enough to hold up to strong foods, this red pairs perfectly with our lamb chops and any of our feta-forward dishes. Available by the glass or by the bottle at our Fayette Mall location- cheers! 🍷🍇

This Wednesday we're highlighting one of our incredible Greek wines: our ATMA White, made by Thymiopoulos Vineyards in Naoussa, Greece. 🇬🇷

Made from a blend of 70% Xinomavro and 30% Malagouzia grapes, this dry white has flavors of citrus, stone fruits, white flowers and a delicate mineral finish. 🍋🍑🌊

Refreshing and versatile, ATMA pairs perfectly with seafood, poultry and vegetables. Try a glass with our Shrimp Saganaki or our Chicken Santorini. 🍤

Available by the glass or bottle at our Fayette Mall location. 🍇

The quality of our ingredients matters to us- a lot! We've put thought into every item on our menu, including something as simple as our Pita Bread. 🥙

Our Pita is hand-stretched and imported from Greece, so it's *almost* like you're eating right on the streets of Athens 🇬🇷

Whether you enjoy your Pita with one of our dips, wrapped around a Gyro or a la carte you can trust that it's as authentic as it gets!

We're so excited that students are moving back on campus this week and we can't wait to feed both UK students & staff again this semester! 😸

Whether you need fuel for a study session, a quick snack to share with friends or a full meal at the end of a long week, we've got you covered. 🥙

Don't forget our Chevy Chase location is walking distance from campus, and our Fayette Mall restaurant is just a quick drive from downtown. We also deliver so your Gyro can come to you wherever you are in town ☺🚗

Here's what it said:
