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

Came here for the first time with my kids. I don’t love Mediterranean food, but I do enjoy it from time to time. My kids don’t really care for it, but they’ll smash it if I force them to lol. Anyways, I’m not really super familiar or know how authentic these dishes are here, but I still thought it was delicious and flavorful. They have a left-to-right style buffet line to include and drink and dessert station. There’s also a little bell that you ring if you want 1 lamb shank. They only give you one so I got my kids to ring it so I can smash 3 of them lol. The lamb shank was a but bland, but super tender. The salad bar area had a lot of flavorful and fresh cold dishes. The meat items were honestly, all a but bland, but with the help of some good ole salt, it was pretty delicious. The desserts were ok, pretty sweet for my taste. The staff are friendly and fast. Free parking is located in the garage for about a 5min walk, otherwise, paid parking right in front. Be sure to pay if you park in front because they will tag you and make you pay like it’s a legit parking ticket. Lots of tables to dine at and the restaurant is very clean. This place has been opened for less than 2 months.

After visiting the Round Rock newly opened site I was curious for more info. The atmosphere was clean and sedate in the dining area. Not Greek as I expected and I had hoped for more since the chain is relying on a Mediterranean theme. I was fooled. If you enjoy bland, buffet style dining, then you will be pleased. If you are seeking traditional flavorful Greek dishes and an atmosphere, then you will be displeased. Of all of the numerous dishes offered on the buffet line I would say only a handful would actually activate the pallet- but Greek…not from my experiences in other Greek indoor dining restaurants. Numerous salads and bread choices to fill your belly before you get to the main dishes. Be cautious here in quantity; you could easily fill up before the main course. The meats were dry and overcooked. The rice was well prepared as expected—but often bland; as well as the sauces and hummus. The avocado hummus was tasty. Note: The lamb on the bone was enjoyable on the day I went and is offered only on the weekend. Absolutely nothing on the dessert line offered any flavor; unless the syrup on the baklava is something you crave. One could pontificate on how displeasing an experience was, but I will leave it at this, I will not be returning for a Greek experience. Best to you all in your adventures.

Pleasantly surprised with the food quality here! I was happy to see gluten-free options clearly marked. Be prepared to pay for parking (or walk from the parking garage). We’ll be back!
