    Great Greek place open for lunch and dinner but closed for lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Open 7 days for dinner. Feels very homey. Prices are reasonable. Food is like home cooked.

    Seating outside

    I went here for a birthday dinner with my son on a Sunday night. This was an unexpected find and one that turned into an amazing feeling of being in the Mediterranean Greek Island of Santorini. So beautifully decorated in the blue of the sea outside and inside. The ambience was relaxing and gave a feeling of being there. The staff and owner made sure everything was okay at all times. We ordered the hummus and tazicki with fresh pita and olives to start. My son said the olives have a dressing like no other and wanted to know what they use to make it. The server brought a complimentary red pepper dip which was a little spicy for me but good. Followed by the Avgolemono soup @ chicken soup bases with lemon that I never had before but was so flavorful that it brought comfort immediately. I had to order the Akena (sp) blue martini drink made with raspberry vodka and blue curacao to compliment the Mediterranean feel. It was smooth and sweet. Finally, came the entree I ordered Moussaka which was a quite generous portion cooked perfectly with the sauce and so delicious . I had to take some home because it was quite a large portion. My son ordered the lamb roast with a boastful flavor , he did say he still preferred the chops flavor but the portion again was large. The price for the food is quite reasonable for the portions served. They have lunch specials and belly dancers on certain days, Fridays and Saturdays and also cater to any parties too. Chef Gianni prepared authentic dishes. He originally was at a restaurant in NY and opened this one. I believe his wife also works there and was pleasant and invited our return to see the belly dancers . I will definitely be returning here maybe on a weekend next time to see the show.

    I really wanted to love this place! But the experience as a whole felt a little lackluster. There were both good and bad parts to this evening, so starting with the good first, The decor and ambiance of this place is so refreshing, the complimentary pita bread and roasted red hummus was a nice touch and the service by Irene was above and beyond. However, when it came to the food and the drinks, I was pretty disappointed, the drinks were so sweet and overloaded with syrup that I couldn't finish the first one and then tried to order a different one, and couldn't even try to finish that either. The grilled calamari was over cooked, tough and chewy. I had one piece and didn't eat the rest. The lamb roast, although tasty was not soft and didn't fall off the bone and the potato's were not soft. So, although a pleasant evening, I'm not sure I'd return.

    We sat outside to have lunch - and that was just perfect. The inside was just too dark anyway. My cousin had here two little dogs with her. So it really worked out well. The portions were large and that was very nice. The waitress seemed to be a bit distracted however. I love that we could walk to the restaurant and that it is close by!

    I ate here on a Saturday night in August, and at first I was hesitant to do so, because I rarely, if ever, go out to dinner on Friday or Saturdays, whether it is "season" or "out of season". In South Florida, specifically Boca Raton, restaurants are crowded and noisy on weekends. And I don't have to go out on the weekend, as I am retired and can go out whenever I wish. But to please friends, we went out. Was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant only had a few tables occupied. It was lit with this blue/purplish light, which you'll see in the photos I took. I guess it's to give atmosphere. Personally, I could have done without it. Our waiter was pleasant and accommodating, and our crowd had a lot of questions. All the entrees included a Greek/Family Salad, or soup of the day. All of us had the Village Salad, and it was delicious and a large serving. Would definitely order this again. Entrees ordered included ($30) the salmon, a huge portion, served with a large side of steamed vegetables. The garlic jumbo shrimp (5) were indeed garlicky, and quite large, at $40 Two of us had the whole bronzini, ($40) one fillet and one whole. I ordered the filed version, and would order it again, but whole. Much prefer to take the fish off myself. Extensive wine list, a sauvignon blanc was $14 and Pinot grigo $9. We enjoyed our meals in this laid back restaurant. I would not take a date there if I were trying to impress them, but I would return with my husband mid week and enjoy their well prepared food. Check them out.

    EKMEK dessert

    The service was excellent as was the wine and the soup, PLUS ...THE most amazing EKMEK you will ever have! Fabulous!

    Every was delicious. Ordered 5 lamb chops. 3 in one box and 2 in the other. The one that had 3 in the box came with a super thin lamb chop cooked perfectly and the 2 in the same box was cooked Rare. I had to pop it in the air fryer for 5 min on 400 and it was still pink. I cooked it for almost 9 min before I could eat it. The fish was delicious. The lemon chicken soup was great. Ekmek- it was my first time having it. It's good. It was like a pudding consistency. With nuts on top. We waited for about 45 min for our order. But the food was pretty good. Lamb chops did have good flavor I just like my meats dead. I would come back here again.

    We were in the mood for Greek one evening and of course i came to yelp for some ideas. I checked a few places but settled on Galini based on location availability and reviews. This restaurant is located in a shopping center so there is ample parking which is nice. Upon walking in the establishment was decorated mainly in white with blue lights. We were seated quickly provided us with water and pitas with hummus. The hummus was flavorful and a good start to the meal. My husband ordered the roasted lamb and I had the Galini Seafood. My husband enjoyed his meal,he said the meat was tender and well prepared. My dish on the other hand was awful, in hindsight I really should have sent it back. The seafood was tough and there was a spoiled taste to the dish. One of the worst meals I have ever had. The service was on point, for me the food quality was not there. I won't be going back. I'll try another Establishment in the future.

    Stopped in here with friends, and I was so excited because the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The inside is so nicely lit and the decor makes you feel as if you're actually in Greece. Our friends arrived first, they ask about happy hour and were told it's only available at the bar. The restaurant was completely empty so the four of us sat at the bar. we ordered drinks and appetizers only to realize that if we sat at a table, the prices were relatively the same and it probably would've been a little more comfortable. We ordered the Galini dip and were told they were out of it. i'm not sure how a Greek restaurant can be out of hummus or any other Greek type of dip but they were. Chicken wings came three to an order and they were OK. The muscles were good. Chicken souvlaki came two to an order and was very dry. My friend asked if there was a dipping sauce available, which we were told there wasn't so she asked for a little tzatziki. Didn't notice until I saw a copy of the bill today that she charged $7.28 for a little dollop and honestly would have been better to just leave the chicken on the plate. All in all, it was ok, nothing special. I think what bothered me more was seeing the credit card charge today. Since my husband paid I didn't look at the bill... but what's off is if we ordered 2 orders of mussels @$8 each we were billed 16.34 and this was for every item. There was a separate line item for tax so it wasn't that. If you're going to charge some additional fee, just let the customer know up front. I'll never know, nor do I care. One and done.

    The "bougatsa" was absolutely fantastic! It takes 2 days to make.
    Kathy C.

    Make sure that you visit this restaurant on a Friday night and you will get entertained by a belly dancer. We also enjoyed the Zorba dancing. In order to try various dishes, we ordered a medley of dishes and shared. I am glad that we did this. The seafood and lamb were delicious. We topped off the meal by sharing a dessert. The name was "bougatsa." It was absolutely delicious! The owner said that it is homemade and takes two days to prepare. Service was outstanding as was the entertainment. The ambiance made me feel like I was in Greece! There are beautiful hand-painted murals of Santorini. Everything was blue and white. That is also very typical of Greece. Although I don't drink, there was a full bar for those who do, featuring many Greek wines and liquors. I highly recommend this restaurant. We enjoyed a beautiful night out with a taste of Greece!

We sat inside, and while it was a little tight, it felt cozy and welcoming. They also have a patio area with lights and heaters that looked beautiful and very inviting. The service was okay overall. Everything came out correctly, but when it was time for the checks, they weren't split. Since we were a party of six, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I would definitely go back and try more. I shared the egg plant hummus with the warm pita bread, the fig and goat cheese pizza, so much flavor, the shiitake dumplings were so good, the amount of mushroom to dumpling was great, the peanut sauce was very light and delicious. The beef arayes was ok, the cumin was a little much for me.
