About Mykonos

A family-led Greek Mediterranean restaurant rooted in tradition, experience, and genuine hospitality.

Built on more than 25 years of culinary experience, Mykonos brings together authentic Greek flavor, modern presentation, and a welcoming atmosphere designed to feel natural, relaxed, and memorable.

Who is behind Mykonos

Ali Papis and family bring a true family-table perspective to the restaurant.

Ali Papis Jr. and wife Ebru, his dad Ali Sr. and mom Siyda are behind Mykonos. Together they carry a shared family commitment to cooking, hosting, and creating the kind of atmosphere where guests feel taken care of from the moment they arrive.

Their experience spans more than 25 years and informs every part of the concept, from the menu to the feel of the room to the details guests notice in service.

Culinary approach

Good quality food, real Greek flavor, and freshness that reads on the plate.

Real Greek Food

The kitchen is positioned around Greek flavors that feel authentic rather than imitated, with recipes and presentation built to feel familiar, vibrant, and memorable.

Small side bowls contain creamy dipping sauce and green olives, with roasted potatoes and feta cheese visible in the background, all set on a marble tabletop next to a pink bougainvillea floral arrangement.

Fresh Meza + Gyro

Fresh meza, classic gyros, and Mediterranean dishes create a menu that works equally well for quick lunches, relaxed dinners, and shared-table occasions.
