  Very disappointed in the groupon they have going on now; $20 for $40. They would not honor the full $40, and don't share their creative accounting until after you order and the bill is up near $80...after groupon. They add their own gratuity and you do not get what's promised. The food is good, but watch out...Very expensive. I don't like feeling I've been taken advantage of, so I will not be going back.

  One of true classics in Carmel, IN.  Authentic Greek food at its finest!  The owners go out of their wa
  y to make everyone feel welcome.  One of our favorites in our new hometown

  Falafel for appetizer, small greek salad was good but came topped with potato salad which I had not seen before.  Ate that separately and it was good.  Didn't want to ruin my salad...then had a great gyro, very flavorful and tender.  Our new Carmel greek place.

  My wife and I took our second Greek cooking class here tonight. We really like this place. The owners are extremely friendly, and they really do put their personalities into the store. We have enjoyed both our classes, and my wife also took a mini class a little while ago.
  
  The evening takes a couple hours from start to finish. Tonight we prepared lamb shank, orzo, and Greek meatballs, finished with Greek yogurt over fruit. The pace is comfortable, and Katherine talks you through each step of the way. She really encourages you to season to taste, and to be expressive in your own way. She has been cooking for years, and teaching others, so it comes so naturally. While we prepped the meal, we chatted with the other guests (there were 9 of us total tonight), and enjoyed the company. While we waited for our food to be prepared, Katherine brought out freshly prepared baba ghanoush and warm pita and we all sat together and talked some more. Once our dinner was ready, we each took our meal, and set to work gnawing on the large lamb shank. The meat was tasty (of course it was, I seasoned it well!), and the orzo was tender, and flavorful. The meatballs were nicely browned and made a perfect appetizer with the pita and baba ghanoush.
  
  Katherine takes cleanliness in the kitchen very seriously, as she kept her kitchen and work space very clean. Her husband, Sam, is a wonderful conversationalist. We had been in the week before to register for the class, and spent nearly 2 hours chatting with him about family, work, and life in general. He was very welcoming tonight when we came back as well.
  
  Cooking Greek offers private classes as well, and we are already planning to bring a group of friends back for a private class (along with some new friends we met tonight at this class). We havent tried their restaurant side of the operation, but plan to in the coming weeks.
  
  An enjoyable evening for all, and a wonderful experience I'd recommend to everyone!

  Food tasted good but portions were small for the price. Gyros were small and Greek salad was also small and for $9.00 was not worth it. Who puts potato salad in the middle of a Greek salad?  Barely any sing of Feta cheese in the salad. I went there with my wife and we ordered 2 Gyros, 2 ice teas and shared a Greek salad. I was still hungry and our bill was $37.00. Not worth that!

  I took my team from work here a few weeks ago for a corporate team building event.  Everyone had a great time, enjoyed the session and especially enjoyed the food.  Tonight I took my whole family (8 of us plus a baby) for my wife's birtdhay.  Again, we all had a BLAST!  Katherine (the owner) is so hospitable... she made us feel like we were at home.  She helped us, advised us, and encouraged us to make it "ouir own".  Unbelievable time was had by all.  The food was great, the ambiance even better.  Not only is it a great class, but they have great items you can purchase to take home as well.  Cannolies, hummus, wine, olive oil and best of all, the cheese that you make saganaki from (flaming goat cheese).  They are also open for lunch and dinner as a restaurant.  Have been there a few times for lunch... great gyros!  I love locally owned places.  Katherine pours her heart into this place and it shows.  If you haven't been there, you gotta try it for yourself.
