We enjoyed the focus so much, we went back to try different items the second night!!! Thank you Dimitri and the “Eagle eye” mgr. authentic and perfect, appreciate the focus. Please request Dimitri unless we are there, we want a table! Well done!!!

This is simply the only place in the USA that I felt like I was home in a restaurant. And I am a born and raised Greek. The moment we walked in, it smelled like a home restaurant, looked like a restaurant, and I had service like in a Greek restaurant from home. The food was absolutely delicious, with beans and potatoes, just like mama used to make, and the meat was grilled to perfection. To top all that, the service was absolutely perfect, and that was even better than expected, much better than places we've been in S Florida, the place we call home. But again, when your server was a veteran server from cruise ships, that's what you get. I can't wait to get back and have a meal there again and see our favorite waiter. If you want to feel like you're in a Taverna in Hellas, go and enjoy Pegasus. Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ !

I had the misfortune of dining at this establishment, and I can confidently say it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The food was an insult to taste buds everywhere—horrible in appearance, flavor, and quality. The so-called “meal” I was served looked like it was scraped off the floor of a gulag kitchen; the meat didn’t even appear cooked, resembling a gray, unappetizing lump that could double as a doorstop. The chicken dish was drowned in a sloppy, tasteless sauce, and the rice with green beans and tomato sauce was a sad, mushy mess that tasted like it had been reheated from last week’s leftovers. To top it off, my earlier order of rigatoni was a complete joke. It arrived cold, as if they’d forgotten about it, and when I complained, they had the audacity to microwave it and serve it back to me with a straight face, claiming it takes a full hour to make pasta—ridiculous! The texture was rubbery, and the flavor was nonexistent, making me question if they even know what pasta should be. The service was just as appalling. The waitress stumbled around like she’d had one too many, slurring her words and clearly clueless about the menu. When I asked for clarification, she stared at me blankly, as if the concept of food was foreign to her. This place is a travesty—overpriced, undercooked, and served by staff who couldn’t care less. Avoid it at all costs unless you enjoy culinary punishment!

My mom is deceased, she brought me here on a few occasions. That was about 25 years ago. To me this place has not changed, but that's a good thing. It brings back great memories... The food is still fired. It's hard in today's economy, they make it look easy...

What is there to say about Pegasus Taverna that hasn’t already been said about The Sistine Chapel? The food? Tasted like the whole kitchen was made up of 30 Greek grandmothers who knew the recipes like the back of their hand. The atmosphere? Vasilis and Andrew made the 8 of us feel like we their nephews with the camaraderie and laughter they brought to our table. The service? Sure, the kitchen can perfect their meals to the last minute details, but if the wait staff isn’t up to par, it’s all for naught. Not here though, as Andrew didn’t miss a beat serving all 8 of us men. All around excellent, would shower the establishment in every award we could if it were possible. Vasilis and his staff proved why Pegasus Taverna has been a staple of Greek Town for so long. Cheers to them and thank you for the hospitality and service you provided to us. Opa!

Arrived between lunch and dinner services. Service was beyond excellent and the food was absolutely exceptional. Had Aknaki Pilafi (lamb with rice with tomato sauce). Huge chunks of melt in your mouth lamb, rice well-cooked rice (just how I like it). Mild tomato sauce (excellent not too spicy). Frozen strawberry daiquiri (plenty of alcohol) all made for a wonderful meal with my daughter.

If you are a fan of Greek food this place would be good for you. I’m biased since I’m not a fan of every Greek food that I’ve ordered but the ambience is nice the location is perfect just have to park in Greektown garage and you don’t have to walk in the cold/heat. Calamari is a bit chewy but lamb chops were really good.

We got the lamb chops with rice and green beans. It was good not great. The warm dolmata appetizer was amazing though.

Years since we've been here. A Greektown classic accessible from the casino (first floor) or street. We visited on a very busy evening (Lions playoff night). We were seated within minutes and service was very good. The place looks good. They are great at handling the crowds. Very efficient. Everything we ordered was great and we had no complaints. Nice portions too. If you're in the area it's worth a visit.

Final stop before we head back home. Love Greektown in Detroit. Pegasus is the spot! We enjoyed a great meal with saganaki to start, some lamb chops and a gyro meal. Everything came out hot and delicious! Bruna was an awesome waiter and her and the team provided great service!! Great feel with a true mediterranean vibe!

If you're in Greek town Pegasus Taverna is a solid choice if you would like to try some Greek food. I highly recommend the combination plate as it comes with a little bit of everything. I got the lamb and it didn't taste gamey at all. It was super tender and there were a lot of flavors going on in this dish. If you order this there is no need to get any appetizer because the portion is huge. You could probably get away with sharing a combo plate as we couldn't finish it. I don't like peas but they seasoned the peas so well I actually was able to enjoy it. On top of that, the service was excellent. Our server, Andy, gave us plenty of recommendations and checked on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The ambience of this place was also great. We came on a Friday night and there was no wait at all.

When we're in Michigan we make time to visit Pegasus cause the food is spectacular, we love the atmosphere, and it's just a great restaurant. The food was amazing as usual however I definitely would NOT recommend the spaghetti with meat sauce. It was basically plain pasta with barely anything on it for $16! Which is crazy! The chicken gyro was huge and delicious. The chicken lemonato was super tender and flavorful and I love the lemon chicken soup!

Well my food was a bit cold. Which definitely is why it came out so fast. Flavours were pretty good, but I think it's safe to say that flavors are more apparent to the mouth when properly warned. Which is hard when you order a more costly item. I'd be tempted to give them another try, but my waiter didn't seem to care about the restaurant anymore based on few things were said. It probably will take someone else's desire to get me to return and gamble for warm food.

It's all about the food and Golden Fleece edged out Pegasus. The Tzatziki at the Golden Fleece is popping and flavorful, at Pegasus it's muted and dull. The gyro mystery meat at Golden Fleece is all lamb and tastes like it should, Pegasus is the same quality as a food truck. Golden Fleece served fries with the gyro, Pegasus potato chips. The saganaki or flaming cheese at both locations were about the same. Pegasus is certainly a larger venue. The service at both was excellent.

As a lover of Greek cuisine, I was thrilled to discover Pegasus Taverna in the heart of Detroit's Greektown.  The Greek Trio: I ordered the Greek Trio, which included spanakopita and patsitsio Let me tell you, it was a symphony of flavors! The spanakopita was flaky and filled with savory spinach and feta, while the potato dish was perfectly seasoned and comforting.  Cozy and Family-Friendly: Pegasus Taverna exudes warmth and hospitality. The locals frequent this gem, creating an inviting atmosphere. Whether you're dining with family or friends, you'll feel right at home.  Flaming Cheese: Don't miss the flaming cheese - a delightful spectacle that's as tasty as it is impressive.  Verdict: Pegasus Taverna is a culinary oasis where tradition meets modern flair. If you're craving authentic Greek food, look no further. Opa!

atmosphere of the place is 10/10 although why was the floor actually so slippery yet also sticky?? our waiter came and gave me my order with both sides wrong, but fixed his mistake and brought my correct sides out free of charge so I had like double the food. sister orders some lamb something, right, and he brings out the wildest looking mound of mush ever and says they didn't have what she ordered in the back so he chose this for her. showed her the menu pointing at whatever it is for like 2 seconds before snatching it away and leaving. She wasn't picky, so she ate it, but LOL she had no choice ‍ it was chosen for her. food was good just idk if I'd come back again HAHA

I've been going to Pegasus in Greetown since I was a little girl. It was always a special day when my mom would take me to Trappers Alley where we would shop then go have saganaki "flaming cheese" at Pegasus. Sadly the stores at Trappers Alley* has been replaced by Hollywood Casino but the same Pegasus is still there. Same dark wood and dark interior and same delicious Greek food. This recent trip proved that despite all the changes some things remained unchanged. The saganaki was just as I remembered it. That delicious kasseri cheese lit on fire with the crispy edges. They served it with a crusty white bread but I would have preferred the traditional pita bread. Also tried the warm grape leaves. You can either have it topped with a lemon or tomato sauce on top. I opted to try both with the sauces on the side. I can't decide which one I liked better but liked the option of dipping the grape leaves in the sauce instead of it being smothered on top. Our bartender/server made a great cosmopolitan. Filled right to the top not halfway like some places. It's nice to see Pegasus has not changed much over the years and look forward to going back on my next trip to Detroit. Opa! *I added a picture of Trappers Alley from the 80s.

Excellent service! Staff was on top of everything and attended to us constantly. Ambiance had a 1930s feel. Food was okay, we tried gyro, greek trio, stuffed grape leaves, and lemon rice. I expecting actual rice and egg on the lemon rice but it was just plain. It still tastes okay. The gyro meat portion was generous but the rice need more seasoning. The greek trio was filling and so was the grape stuffed leaves. Overall, the food was okay.

This place was so good!! The lemon chicken and the Greek trio were my favorites. Also, the rice and peas with the tomato sauce is incredible. The ambiance is very laid back and classic vibes. The service overall fit the same profile. Our waiter was awesome and helpful but not overbearing. Would come back here every week if I could.

Food at Pegasus is the best Greektown, The moussaka is my personal favorite! Service there is always top shelf friendly and attentive. Ambiance is good properly light for casual date purposes and clean. Parking is the only drag but that goes for greektown as a whole

The meal, likely from a Greek-inspired restaurant, seems to offer a rich array of flavors. "Amazing food, excellent service, and great ambience!" We had an incredible meal featuring some classic Mediterranean dishes. The stuffed grape leaves were tender and flavorful, perfectly enhanced with a creamy sauce. The gyro platter was fresh and hearty with well-seasoned meat, fluffy pita, and tangy tzatziki. And the moussaka was beautifully baked, rich with layers of eggplant and meat topped with a perfect cheesy sauce. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We loved the warm, inviting atmosphere and will definitely be returning! This review highlights the dishes you had while also appreciating the service and atmosphere!

Came back and still, DELICIOUS! Pastitio and Moussaka are both must orders for the fall/winter months, and they always give you enough for leftovers too. Plus, it's so cozy in there. Love Pegasus!

We live in another state but make it a priority to eat at Pegasus every time we're in Detroit. We had dinner there on Saturday night and it was as delicious as always! Traditional Greek food, cooked and served exactly as you would see it throughout Greece. We had the charbroiled octopus and it was undoubtedly the best we have ever had. This speaks volumes considering my partner is Greek and we spent last summer in Greece. The Taramosolatta was spot on and the bread is always fresh. I recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking authentic Greek cuisine in a Greek Taverna atmosphere. As others have noted, the floors are slippery. It's obviously the cleaning solution they use, but I don't know why they don't just switch to a different product. The restaurant is super clean, the lighting is low and romantic, and the service is always extremely friendly and prompt.

A detroit classic for pre and post game meals downtown. They have large areas for groups if you call ahead, or intimate booths for a date night. The food is good, especially the traditional Greek dishes. I didn't enjoy my Gyro, or the calamari, but the chicken kabobs and flaming cheese were awesome. They have a full bar and it's walking distance to all of the stadiums downtown. Would recommend if you are looking for a traditional Detroit / Greektown experience.

I was told that Pegasus Taverna was the place to eat in Detroit's Greektown, so of course I had to visit. Detroit has a large Greek population, and in this this part of the city you'll find lots of Greek restaurants and a casino. Pegasus Taverna is in the middle of all of it. First of all, the ambiance inside the restaurant is so neat. There are twinkle lights everywhere and dim lighting, and fake trees and plants hanging from the ceiling, and brick walls and wooden gazebos. It makes you feel like you're outside enjoying an evening on a patio, but you're indoors! The seating is mostly booths, and the whole dining room space is very intimate and cozy. We visited for a late lunch and got the two most popular items on the menu: the traditional gyro sandwich and the chicken lemonato. You probably know what a gyro is, so I'll spare you the description. It was a good gyro. The chicken lemonato was breaded chicken breast in a lemon, butter, wine and oregano sauce. It was super flavorful! I love lemon and chicken together. I got the chicken lemonato with a side of rice and peas, which had tomato sauce on them. I could have done without the sauce on the rice and peas, but I wanted to try it how they make it. I almost forgot the best part: I started my meal with the avgolemono soup (chicken lemon rice soup), which was so rich and creamy. If you've never had this soup, it's kind of like a chicken and rice soup, with a slight tang from the citrus. It's like eating a warm hug. It went very well with the complimentary bread and butter that they gave us when we sat down. My children wanted nothing to do with Greek food and refused to try anything except the bread and butter (which they said was very good), so they had a cheeseburger. Hooray for Pegasus and adding a lone cheeseburger to their menu to cater to picky kids. That's pretty much the only non-Greek item on the menu.

Pegasus is always a treat to visit. Always start with Saganaki! Opa!!! Delicious bread to sop up the oil in the cheese pan. I alway go with a combo plate because I want all my favorites, but I have been known to get lamb shanks cause I love them so much. I don't know what they do to make their Greek peas, but I love them so much! Really, that much love for peas because I like them that much. My only complaint is that they never seem to have a good choice for desserts, but that will not keep me away. All around, a great experience.

Located in the same building as The Hollywood Casino in GreekTown. Pegasus is serving up delicious Greek style dishes that taste amazing! Parking can be found in the structures, at the casino, or on the street. This place was PACKED!! The waitress was great, she knew the menu inside and out. I ordered the Lamb Chops with Peas and Rice along with a small Greek Salad. The flavors were there. Juicy lamb chops, that were cooked perfectly. Savory but sweet peas and rice, and the salad was fresh and delicious! The overall ambiance definitely needs a face lift but I guess that's what makes this place so unique. I'll be back! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

They way overbooked their reservations. 5 of us had a Saturday 6:30 p.m. reservation. We were not seated until 7:30 p.m. That meant ordering in a hurry with no time for appetizers or cocktails so we did not miss even more of the ticketed event we were attending later. Food was good, service was fine, but making people with a reservation wait an hour to be seated is not acceptable. AND there was only limited seating in the waiting room which made standing for an hour decidedly unpleasant.

The service was pretty awful here. Out waiter didn't really listen to what we were saying and just decided we ordered 2 beers. It's fine, I'll drink it. Food was just okay, the best thing of the night were the garlic mashed potatoes in my hot appetizer plate. The flaming cheese was presented with very little gusto. Made me wish I had ordered it at the late night diner I went to earlier in the week. The redeeming quality of this place would have to be the decor but I wouldn't come here just for that.

Went on a Friday night and was easy to get a table for 3. Great customer service! I appreciated someone coming around and filling waters, even if it wasn't our server. The two people I was with and I all shared our dishes, so the server brought extra plates. The server asked if we wanted a picture/video before lighting our cheese on fire, which I appreciated, and I liked them putting the plate on the table still on fire so we could put it out ourselves when we wanted. The only awkward part that I didn't appreciate was when I asked for grape leaves with red sauce and the server shook their head and told me I didn't want that. So we ended up getting them with both sauces out of peer pressure. It ended up being fine, and I like options, but it was embarrassing. The chicken was definitely the best food we had ordered though! Yum!

Super cute restaurant in Greektown with lots of food options. We got the grape leaves, the flaming cheese, and gyros. I also have to say that they have some of the best ginger ale that I've ever tasted. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you want a quick, cheaper option in Greektown.

I enjoyed dinner here with a small group of friends. It had such a cozy intimate feeling here. It also handled many larger groups quite well. I was impressed by the menu choices. I'm going to try one of their lamb entrees next time. That looked so delicious! I was told the lamb was moist and very flavorful. The flavors in the chicken Lemonato were so wonderful! Perfect amount of lemon flavor. I had ordered the rice instead of potatoes but ended up with potatoes instead. I actually wasn't too disappointed because the potatoes were a delicious combination with the peas that I had. The service was pretty good considering there were many football fans there from the game that had just let out. The place was bustling and had lots of energy but still keeping that intimate feel.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Vibes: 5/5 Adorable and spacious restaurant with a ton of options for delicious Greek food. My dad and I ordered a few dishes to share. We ordered the Greek salad, Greek gyro and Arnisia Paidakia. The lamb chops were delicious and cooked to perfection. Comes with 2 side dishes, which were very tasty with the sauce that it was cooked with. Salad was very refreshing and what my body needed. The Greek trio is something I would recommend as an app. Big hearty portions and fun to taste and compare all 3. We both agreed that the Moussaka tasted the best. Then the Pastitsio, Spanakoteropeta. Fun and tasty restaurant that I definitely recommend!

This is Greektown so I expect OOPA! This place is next to a casino so I thought it would be a little more swanky. The photos of it look nice but it is dated and needs an update with more comfortable seating. It has more of a diner atmosphere, which I am fine with if the food is up to par. Many noisy busboys and not enough servers. The prices were decent, but with so many nearby options they need to step up their game. The cold octopus appetizer was fine except a few other accoutrements would be welcome. Grilled was not an option (sad). Come on guys, throw in a few olives and dress it up. The gyro was haphazardly thrown on a plate with a burnt pita. I should have skipped this option as I did not notice any rotisseries when I left. The meat tasted pre-sliced and was not heated up, never mind freshly sliced. Honestly, how about some lettuce?

I came here after a morning of shopping at Eastern Market and arrived around 12:30/1. It was pretty empty upon arrival, but the restaurant was completely filled near 2 PM. Ordered to start was the vegetables with scordalia. It was good, but it was super oily and for $10, it should have came with more than four pieces of vegetable. For entrees, ordered was the vegetarian grape leaves and chicken lemonato. Of course the chicken lemonato is always a hit, but I don't like the peas it comes with nor the rice with tomato sauce (I forgot to ask for lemon sauce instead) but my friend loved both of my sides. The vegetarian grape leaves had chickpeas instead of meat so naturally the texture was a little off and lacked some flavor. She said she would get the meat grape leaves instead next time. The food is good, but I feel it was once better many moons ago. The service isn't the best either. My water was never refilled nor was the bread basket.

Rather disappointing to be honest. Was at Greektown Casino & stepped out for some dinner. My girl loves cheese, so what better then some Saganaki. Who doesn't love some melted cheese started on fire with brandy, extinguished with fresh squeezed lemon all soaked up with some fresh bread. Wooooosh...... Opaaaaah. Sets the cheese down. Cold. Big hunk of barley melted cheese. I sliced it 6 times in disbelief. They took it back and brought it back a minute later, blow torch or deep fryer, couldn't tell. I did notice it was the same shit piece of cheese I sliced open 6 times ago a minute prior. Got a Lamb gyro. Some assembly required. Half ass chopped onions. Some shitty old fries, decent lamb throw on a plate w a not so fresh pita throw on top. At this point I'm just looking around & I all I see is the writing on the the wall. Sad, because I just realized what Im sure many others have known for a while. This place has officially went down hill, at least in my eyes, and a return visit it probably not happening. Service was great, place just felt dirty and like they have thrown the towel in on being at the top of their game. Where do people like to eat down when at the casino, I could use another spot to grab something good to eat, because this, was not. George. Thanks for replying to my review I appreciate the 5 seconds you took to type out a generic response. I'm all warm & fuzzy. What was I supposed to do, send back an app for the 2nd time??? Manage your restaurant, it's not my job. I was nice and left out your cooks sitting on the food cutting service ... it's not like those pants hit bathroom floors or anything. I don't want anything from you. All I wanted was a flaming cheese George. You had two shots in 20 mins. Good Luck.

Bad food, slippery floor, good service. Would not recommend. The octopus tastes canned and the spinach pie tastes microwaved.

We throughly loved the Opa flaming cheese. (I never tire of it and here it tastes great.) My friend had a Greek trio plate (spanakopita, moussaka, and pastitsio) and I had the stuffed grape leaves with lemon sauce. Our food was fantastic! Service was very good! The ambiance is that of transporting us back to a simpler time and place: Greektown 1980s. Faux-grape vines in the ceiling really do the trick!

A great family run very authentic experience - I have been going here for 16 years and it has not changed a bit! I loved the pita trio and Dolmas - it's a great price and like Athens, they serve MYTHOS beer! So wonderful to be here again and one of my favorite spots in Detroit! Sagapo!

We were in town visiting from Milwaukee and wanted a fun night out in Greektown. After doing our research, we had to stop here for dinner! The atmosphere is so homey and warm. Our waiter was kind and told me to go with the lemon sauce for the stuffed grape leaves and I'm so glad I did - it was delicious. My husband ordered the gyro and it was so tasty. We started with the flaming cheese - always fun - Opa! Prices were very reasonable. If you want a traditional and wonderful experience, this is your place.

My husband ordered the Arnaki Macaronata. He comes from a place where lamb is served constantly as a regular traditional dish and he said this Arnaki was the best lamb he's ever had. so 10/10 for that plate. For me I ordered the Tasskabob and personally it tasted too much like a tomato stew and I hardly could taste the beef itself. I will not be ordering that plate again. I felt like the prices were also a bit steep for what it was. Sure the meat can be pricy, a side of rice and veggies will not make the dishes be close to 30 dollars. The Opa cheese that we ordered too although the flavor was great, the presentation/show for the "opa" was a bit subpar. I've come to this restaurant years ago and they used to shout Opa and be way more excited than they did tonight. The floor too. A MAJOR hazard. Im frankly shocked no waiter slipped and dropped a plate near me. The whole place has extremely oily floors. On my way out, a customer coming in almost fell in front of me walking to her table. Come on guys clean that nasty floor!

This has been a staple place for me since 2010. Every time I come to downtown Detroit this is always on the list. The ceiling of the restaurant reminds me of being back in Athens and just constantly having grapes and vines and makes you feel like you're in someone's backyard. Gotta love it. Can you never go wrong getting the saganaki and their lamb. Service is fast and quick. This is my only reason why it's 4 not 5 starts cause I do feel rushed some times but that's to be expected when this is the last standing Greek restaurant in Greektown at the moment. Price is reasonable and they can accommodate large and small parties.

We went out on a Friday and the ambiance within and without was good. Its a charming location, and the service was solid if unspectacular. The moderate letdown was the food. The menu is very large and it shows at points; some of the dishes seem like they had less care put into them than others. The BBQ chicken was pretty generic and just fine. The Pastitsio was appetizing, but lukewarm and my wife felt unbalanced. Overall a decent place and affordable, but there are better Greek restaurants in Greektown area.

I have been coming here for 40 years . We would come for graduations, birthdays and anniversaries. Greek town was all Greek shops and restaurants. Nowadays there are not too many Greek restaurants left Pegasus stands the test of time. The food is always the same. Come for the lamb Arnaki, the classic Greek salad and the saganaki cheese in flames and yell opa. These are my three go to's my staples but there are so many more here. Octopus salad cold is another good dish. Skordalia, chicken lemon soup and the spinach pies are also amazing. The Side shows are the bread and real butter they give you. The waiters are fast and on point. I hope to keep coming back for the next forty years.

Wow. I don't know what happened in my visit yesterday. My sister is handicapped, the busperson, or guy who sat us..(I believe a yemeni guy in his 50s) was so rude, when I asked if we could sit at close table. I asked him, because it's hard for her to walk, he scoffed at me, as though I was lying. She is clearly physically disabled. This surprised me. I ordered one of my favorites, Pastitsio, greek lasagna, and it was awful. Tasted old... dried out noodles, and the bechemel cheese tasted very odd, or spoiled. I have got this here many times, always delicious. I did inform the waiter, he was nice, but i didn't ask for a replacement as I was starving and exhausted. I didn't want to wait for a different order. This is not my usual experience there. Idk what happened.

Can anyone tell me if they still have their whipped feta dip on their appetizer menu? I do not see it but had it back I March and it was FABULOUS! Hoping they still offer it.
