I love this place! I came once out of curiosity and was so pleasantly surprised that I have continued to come back every time I’m in north Austin. I wish they got more business because they are super sweet and the food is fantastic. The food is delicious and they give huge portions for such a good price, especially here in Austin. Every time I come they give me loukoumads as dessert on the house. More people need to experience this place! Pictured is their mousaka plate and the free loukoumads they gave me. So good.

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.

Food is awesome but beware calling in an order. It was consistently wrong and so i decided i needed to go in person and order. I've been many times over the last year and it's always the same person taking the order. English is a struggle for her and describing the plates a challenge. I love the food but I've had my order wrong so many times it ridiculous. No business should be run like this. I understand why they get good reviews but my experience over and over and over again is that you never know what you're going to get. Check your order EVERY TIME before driving home with it and order in-house. I think i need to find another place.

The variety of vibrant colors and textures is a testament to the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The star of the show is undoubtedly the gyro meat, which is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The accompanying salad, rice, and hummus are all equally delicious and complement the gyro meat perfectly. This is a hearty and satisfying meal that is sure to leave you feeling happy and content. The portion size is generous, making this a great value for the price. The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. I would highly recommend this lamb plate to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal.
