    We love this special little place in Rice Village. Whenever we are in town we try to get a reservation because they are consistently good and have a nice twist to traditional Greek offerings. As many restaurants going through and surviving the pandemic, they have had to adjust their offerings and we think they have planned well. We dined on the most beautiful chicken at Helen’s on Christmas Eve that took me back to the Greek home-cooking I grew up eating. Their selection of Greek wines are always wonderful and the appetizer and salad last night were delish! One would expect that a restaurant could be a bit “off” on a holiday evening, but not this kitchen nor the staff. It was perfection from start to finish and we just wish they were in Austin instead of Houston!

    The fish special, branzino was not as menu described. Was supposed to be roasted with lemon and potato and instead served with bread stuffing and heavy tomato, olive. Amd a zillion chick peas . Totally different flavor profile . Stores discouraged husband from ordering gyro platter that he used to enjoy because it was so large for 1 person and instead suggested the gyro sandwich which was space in chicken and dry . Waitress kept insisting the fish was as described ! Ordered wine from menu which appeared highly dated and good value and they didn’t have it . Overall not the experience I remembered of a few years ago!

    We were on a reconnaissance mission to choose Greek items for our Greek Themed Friendsgiving next week. Excel (our server) gave us excellent assistance in recommending choices and even said Chef would come in Thanksgiving morning to prepare our choices for pick up that day. We are getting 2 dishes for our party of 18. Love Helen's and always have a wonderful meal and great Greek wine choices to accompany the food.

    While the food was good, it wasn't somewhere where we said we have to come back to. There were a couple of things apart from the food that didn't provide the best experience. Parking is limited in this area and street parking is hard to find, so we called and asked where to park and they said the street. After searching we found a parking garage a block down that was spacious and is free for the first 2 hours. My wife ordered a drink that never came and was never followed up on. I feel like the portion sizes compared to the pricing is inconsistent. For instance my vegetable plate was $21 and was basically half a plate while my wife's gyro sandwich had more food and was cheaper. The last item is they charge a fee to use credit/debit cards. At this point, cards are the cost of doing business, especially if customers are paying a premium on the food, just build it into the cost. Don't nickel and dime them.

    We ate mid afternoon prior to seeing a performance at one of the local clubs. Food was outstanding. The trio of dips with the olive’s (warning, lots of lemon if you don’t like sour) were exceptional. We ordered the Gyro platter and the baked feta for our shared mains. We still had food to take home. The wine selection was great!
