Haven’t been here for more than 10 years. Stepping in all memories of the old times came back. The food still as good as what I remember. No longer cash only. Garlic sauce is a must add.
The staff is friendly but the food was not good. Pita bread was stale- chicken shawarma plate. The pita bread was soggy with the lamb gyro. Too many toppings just piled up . The meat was cut too thick . Salad wilted on the drive home ( about 5 mins away) The lentil soup was good ! I paid $46 for this and it wasn’t worth it at all!!!
Food is always reliable and always delicious. I've been here multiple times and always order the Family Meal with Chicken and Beef/Lamb. Good portions and never disappoints. Serves 6 people family style. Includes your choice of 2 proteins + 8 sides: rice, greek salad, lentil soup, hummus, pita bread, tzatziki sauce, garlic sauce & baklava (6 pieces).
Great neighborhood joint! Cozy no frills atmosphere. Friendly service! Got a plate and was perfect for two people for $25. Plus they give you complimentary lentil soup and baklava. The lamb in particular was incredible. Recommend as a lunch spot!
Amazing restaurant!! Really delicious across the board and such crispy fries. Baklava is really good, really airy and not overwhelmingly sweet - not as disgustingly sweet as other cafes that serve baklava. The pomegranate chicken was great, the Shawarma is amazing, the plates were delicious (they come with a side of free pita to eat with!) Employees are super nice too and it's so easy to chat with other customers due to the setting
