The inside was clean and the decorations really captured the essence of Greek, from the art to the music playing. The guy who took my order was very sweet and helpful. I came here during lunch and ordered a gyro sandwich. The taste of the sandwich was perfect. I really liked the bread of the sandwich! What I also appreciated was the size of the sandwich. I was very happy with the quantity and presentation and it filled me up perfect! Of you are a lighter eater or traveling with kids to Legoland, you could likely split one sandwich over a lunch break.

The restaurant itself is teeny, but has a really cute atmosphere with Santorini images and Greek scenes throughout. Looks like it's a super popular takeout spot too. We went full vegetarian and got an assortment of platters and dishes including dolmades, falafel, Greek salad, and various dips. Every single bite was exceptional. Fresh, bright, and well seasoned. I ate a ton but didn't feel too full for baklava! Truly so impressed by the meal. We'll definitely be returning!

Service was simple checked on us twice but since the dining area is so small he was right within whisper reach technically. Thank you for a great restaurant. It was a wonderful first impression/experience.

I'm here helping my daughter move into her apt and I just couldn't stomach anymore fast food which dominates the area. Checked yelp, saw this spot mentioned and said yep that's the one. Holy heck I'm so glad I ventured over because this sh*t is the bomb. Firstly the woman at the counter (kicking myself for not getting her name) was so warm, friendly, and welcoming and easy to talk to. I walked past a few people in front of me to grab a take out menu and she greeted me with a huge smile and handed me a dine-in menu saying it's bigger and they have so much good stuff to look at. She wasn't kidding - I was overwhelmed. Dining solo so I knew I couldn't get all the apps I wanted to try, and it's always a tad nerve wracking being alone in a new place. When it was my turn to order she made me feel comfortable and provided some advice on what to order. I settled on the Schawarma combination platter and chose tabouli and hummus as my 2 sides. It only took maybe 15 minutes (if that) and when my order was up she showed me my dinner and holy hell it ruined my drive back to the apt. I have never seen hummus that looked so good. The meat, the tabouli--wow. The ten min trip back was hell on wheels when all I could think about was the meal awaiting me in the black takeout bag sitting beside me. Finally got back and the first taste of the hummus with the oil and garlic and I don't even know what other magic was sprinkled on there was so good, I had to stop myself from gorging on just the pita and hummus and try the schawarma. The meats were tender, juicy and full of flavor. The tabouli was the perfect complement, fresh and refreshing. It's a very generous portion and I was only able to finish about half the platter. I am coming back before I head back home - this place will occupy space in my brain every time I'm craving Mediterranean food. If you're looking for something different, do yourself a favor and skip the Cane's and McDonald's and give Sarah's a try.

It was early and there was only one other table seated when we arrived. We were curious about the fried banana pepper and ordered it as an appetizer. Friend ordered the chicken and salad and I ordered a sausage sandwich (served with peppers and onions in a pita) and rice. The fried pepper was delicious, if a bit overpriced. It was good but I'm not sure I'll order it again based on the price. The chicken and salad was, as usual, really good with being large enough to take some home for another meal. The sausage was really good with an unusual flavor, but extremely small (3" or so). The rice was just rice. Of course, we'll go back. I'll stick with the salads, probably.

Everything we tried was awesome, but we really went crazy and ordered the "Greek chow mein" and it did not disappoint. The best way to describe it, it is like a Greek fajita, loaded with gyro meat, seasoning, and tons of flavor. It was creative, satisfying, and completely delicious. The food felt generous (the portion was huge for the chow mein), comforting, and thoughtfully prepared, and every bite just worked. This is the kind of place where you order something a little different and feel rewarded for it. If you're craving Greek food, Nomiki's is a must. Easy five stars and a place I'd happily return to without hesitation.

Nothing was overly salty and everything we ordered we would all order again. The Chef Salad was large and looked fancy with fresh vegetables and lettuce and meat and cheese roll ups. The Texas Club was a tasty chicken salad sandwich on crisp Texas Toast with a nice light taste. The Country Fried Chicken was moist, easy to cut with a fork and seasoned just right. We don't often find a fried chicken breast as nice as this one. The fried green tomatoes were plentiful and prepared just right and perfectly crisp. Our server today was Annabel and she was just as friendly and attentive as we wanted/needed. When we sat down, I was hoping this might become my new favorite restaurant and they lived up to that hope. We live close to an hour away but I'm thinking we may drive back for breakfast tomorrow. This is most definitely a highly recommended place to visit.

Arriving- Not many folks have been to Frostproof as it's so tiny. It's a five mile straight shot off US Route 27. Big parking lot so that's not a problem. Ambience- Typical. Kitsch on the walls, booths and tables and a counter that seats 8-10. You've seen it all before. Kids are welcome. Customer Service- Several of the servers have been there many years and seen it all. You can expect them to be friendly and efficient. I've never had a problem. Food- It's rural Central Florida folks so expect standard American fare. This visit I Ordered a Meatlovers Omelet with Home Fries. It came with my choice of toast or a biscuit, but I skipped that because I knew I was getting a lot of food! Of course, I had coffee. The pre-tip tab was about $14. As you can see, a lot of food! The cook knows how to finish home fries. Note the beautiful browning but not burnt. They need a little more seasoning but still very good. The omelet was huge and packed with proteins. Delicious! So, you're blowing down route 27, maybe with the little munchkins, and you need a reliable breakfast or lunch. You're sick of chains. You can't go wrong here, and you should expect a 4-star experience!

We arrived a bit after 5 pm, too late to take advantage of early bird food specials but in time for happy hour (which ends at 6). This gave us 2-for-1 pricing on draft beer and house wine. We were seated immediately. By the time we left (around 6:30) there was a wait. We ordered drinks, and these and rolls were delivered with cinnamon butter and pats of plain butter. I ordered the Tuesday special, grouper "fingers," salad (soup is also a choice), and a sweet potato. My husband had linguine with chicken. Our server, Carmen, offered cinnamon butter for my sweet potato. Salad is tossed and plated at the table. It arrived well ahead of the entrées. We had the house-made ranch dressing. Overall, it was a pretty bland salad, mostly iceberg lettuce. The grouper was wonderful, lightly breaded and the perfect crispness. The portion of 3 filets was more than adequate. A small tub of Ken's tartar sauce was included. The cinnamon butter and sweet potato made an excellent combination and a great foil for the grouper. Everything was piping hot when it arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to order this combination again. My husband enjoyed his linguine. Given it was about an hour between when we were seated and when the entrées arrived, we thought the pace was rather slow. But the quality and quantity of food made up for it in my opinion.

The food was fresh and delicious, from the soft-warm-fluffy rolls to the creamy mouth watering cheesecake. The crab cake in the broiled platter was my favorite. My only complain will be that the cocktail and tartar sauce was not freshly made as it was from a packet and that the salad was previously frozen as some of the lettuce didn't thaw all the way. Nonetheless I will definitely return to enjoy another dish.
