We loved the chicken gyros, very tasty, absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The menu felt very authentic and truly reminded us of our trip to Jordan. Beautiful location, warm décor, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back! Attached to the restaurant is a gift shop, with nice items including clothes.Plenty of parking, wondered location.

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.

I’m a big fan of Mediterranean. I frequent a few spots in Louisville. Specifically for the chicken. I stopped here this afternoon. Ordered chicken Kabob a la carte with a side of grilled onions. While it was alright, I wasn’t super impressed. Coffee was not…regular coffee. It was a special Turkish kind, $6 a cup, did not taste good at all, to me. Onions weren’t cooked down fully, but I didn’t mind the crunch, and chicken was…very different from any Mediterranean I’ve ever had. A little overcooked as well. Yellow colored (from seasoning). Almost Indian-like? Not sure. It wasn’t bad, just different. I would say this place is neutral for me. The baklava cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake looked absolutely fabulous though. Two ladies next to me were enjoying theirs very much. I do recommend you give this place a try as you may like it. The food was hot and fresh. Portions are large. Service was friendly. Family owned place, quiet little spot.

This is a cool little spot, tucked away near the riverfront in downtown New albany. The gyros were delicious, with lots of meat. The tsaziki sauce is the bomb. Also had Turkish coffee with sugar, very rich and delicious! I'll definitely be back soon!
