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.

Excerpts

The selection at the counter is amazing. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a wide variety of cold and hot sides and appetizers. I had the chicken gyros platter with apple orzo salad and grape leaves, and it was absolutely delicious. The warm pita on the side was the perfect addition. There’s so much more to choose from like spicy feta, beets, couscous, pasta salad, and more. I also tried the Greek fatayer, which was really good. Personally, I would have liked it with a little less cheese and oil and a bit more veggies, but that is just personal preference. One thing I noticed was the cutlery station, the basket marked "cutlery here" was empty, and the counter next to it was full of used dishes. Since it’s right in the dining area and staff kept walking by, it would be great if that spot got checked and cleaned more often. Other than that, everything was great. The staff was super friendly and the food was awesome. I will definitely be back.

I ordered the fatayer with lamb and got the gyro 🥙 fatayer. Did not want that and tried to make sure the person taking my order understood. However, when I questioned what was on the screen she said it was both lamb and beef. That was incorrect. They use too much cheese and oil. Would not recommend.

Wow, bloody wow… Haven’t been to this place in a while but had to leave a review. Super authentic Mediterranean food. So many side dishes and salads to choose from. Love their pitas & doners but best of all is the customer service. The people here are so friendly. 3 Thumbs Up & 5 Stars from the wife and I.
