    Had a fabulous experience at Kouklas. I grew up on my yia yia, pa pou’s and dad’s recipes so I’m always open to trying new Greek restaurants. We love a handful of them in the ‘burbs, and we’ll certainly add this to our regular rotation. Enough staples and unique takes to keep us coming back. And the service was absolutely exceptional - from the valet, to our server. It was our anniversary and they went above and beyond making us feel special. Absolutely recommend.
