The Greeks restaurant has opened up a second location on Oleander Drive in the former Moe's Southwestern Grill spot.

Owned and operated by the Papanikolaou family, they have renovated the space at 4401 Oleander Drive, painting it a bright hue of blue and adding postcard photos of their homeland.

The menu will remain the same as their other location in Monkey Junction (5120 S. College Road.) A few new additions were added this year, including a vegan mushroom gyro with vegan tzatziki, a lobster gyro topped with truffle sauce, and "The Golden Fleece" — a gyro filled with lobster, truffle sauce and fleks of edible gold.

Customers can expect classic Greek fare at both locations, including spanakopita, hummus and pita, Greek salad, gyros, falafel, fries and more.

The Greeks opened in downtown Wilmington in 2012, but moved to Monkey Junction in 2017.
