Best belly-dancing by Kathy B. at InsiderPages

This restaurant is a lot of fun in addition to being quite tasty. I'd tried it for lunch numerous times and also been there in the evenings, when belly-dancers really get things stirred up. If you're...

Worst experience ever

I have never been to a worse restaurant. We were treated horribly, my order was messed up and everything was way overpriced. Also, there drinks are about as strong as a glass of apple juice.

I have gone to the Greek Cusina two birthdays in a row. I enjoy the atmosphere because it's laid back and you don't feel like you have to be dressed to the nine's to fit in. The staff danced around with the...

Greek Cusina by Taylor C. at InsiderPages

The Greek Cusina is one of the most fun places to eat in Portland, thanks to the entertaining Greek dancing and plate-smashing that occur every weekend in the newly remodeled upstairs bar. Not really your...

1.5 HOURS for LUNCH

Took 1.5 hours for lunch (1 hour to get, 10 minutes to eat, and 20 minutes to watch them try to figure out how to split a business lunch tab). Food was luke warm, soggy, and mediocre at best. Appetizers were...

I don't find this place very cozy. It's more of a family style restaurant, kinda loud. We were going to sit at the bar upstairs at first but when we went up there the place looked like a cafetaria set up and...

Breakfast not very good

I've only tried the breakfast and was disappointed: scrambled eggs with feta makes it a Greek breakfast? Nevertheless, I've heard very mixed reviews.

I'm not one to say this should be the classic Greek dining place or the best ever, or try to compare it to that. What it is is a decent Greek place for a good lunch or dinner. The best Greek I've ever had- no....

This Ain't Greek Food

When I go to a Greek restaurant, I want a Greek salad - not an Italian salad. And I don't want butter with my bread. Yes, I'm a Greek woman, but non-Greeks know good Greek food too. I was surprised to learn...
