I don’t know if this place has gotten a new owner from the past year, but food and quality has changed. This used to be our go to spot for the gyro bowls and pita with hummus, but it had all changed. The chicken was extremely dry and hard, the salad that comes with the bowls had a very strong taste of vinegar, the rice was mush and bland… the rice was also microwaved right in front of us. Finally the appetizer of pita and hummus used to come with a few pieces of pita but now only comes with one. This is only the surface level of complaints. I feel like the food was not worth the price, and will be going somewhere else next time.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food here are amazing!!! Taste really good. The combo plate gyro and chicken was so flavorful with great mix taste. The customer service was good too. The person behind the counter gave us a nice, warm welcoming and the cook even gave us a free desert. Warning, although the food are amazing, it is a bit pricey though. So if you don't mind spending a lot, then so be it, come here.

Finally had a chance to check out this little gem of a restaurant and we were NOT disappointed! Very colorful, clean place with with a great ambiance. Friendly staff too! The gyros were about the best we've ever had. EXTREMELY generous portion of gyro meat on a pillowy pita and just enough Tzatziki sauce. Easily two times more meat than Dino's and more variety on the menu. Very tasty homemade hummus. You really need to check this place out! We can't wait to return and try more of the excellent food! Value and taste just blew us away. Parking is a little congested in the area but, well worth the inconvenience.
