Great food and portions for the price. The falafel and rice were both so good. My family all loved our meals. The sweet tea is a flavorful mint tea which is very unique. I love something more than just regular tea. The interior could use a makeover, but it was clean. Only minor complaint would be is that I'd prefer metal utensils since the plastic forks can barely pierce the falafel.

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.

Small cafe with indoor and porch seating. Lots of plants to greet you. They operate out of a tiny kitchen for the hot foodd and a large section for drinks. Order at the corner and they'll bring it to your table. Cashier was friendly. Looking at my receipt later (not itemized), I'm wondering how an $11.49 gyro plate, a $4.29 spanakopita, and no drink added up to be $19.60 (unless it's 24% taxes here). It comes in styrofoam plates and plastic ware regardless if you're dining in or taking out. Spanakopita was fried, not baked like it says in the menu. It was very greasy. Tasty while it's at mouth burning temperatures but quickly became soggy as it cooled. Like it was baked, then frozen, then fried? That's just a guess on my part. The Gyro plate was an appropriate lunch portion. The pita was thin and stale. One side of it was warm but it quickly became inedible (like hard leather) as it cooled. The tzatsiki was very nice: creamy without being runny, good cucumber flavor (I'd buy a container of that to go if I could). The rice was good. The gyro meat was not. I'm still not sure how it became the texture that it did. It seemed like it was sliced off after being on the rotisserie for A While and then maybe left in a warming bin?. One side was very dark and the edges are hard and crispy. The salad was nicely assembled although I'm not sure why I would get a whole slice of the green pepper, onion, and tomato when everything else is already chopped. The slice of pineapple was sweet and a good finishing bite. My experience was just meh~ It could be so much better if it was just... fresher. I may come back, but probably not for a while. I'm hoping if I give them time to improve the next visit will be better.

The food was great and arrived without much of a wait. Seemed like it was made fresh too which is always a plus! The girl who took our order was very helpful when we asked questions about the seasoning. Would definitely recommend. Has both indoor and outdoor seating as well.
