Just trying this place out for the first time. Ordered falafel pita to go. Came out to $13. There is NO hummus, a pinky fingernail amount of tzatziki, One stale tiny piece of yellow lettuce, two slivers of tomato and red onion, that’s it. There is literally ZERO inside for $13 sandwich. Clearly this places cheats its patrons. Maybe they didn’t like my being brown. Who knows. Will not return. Save your money and patron elsewhere.

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.

My husband and I visited this place around 3:30 PM on Sunday. The restaurant was empty, so we were happy that we would be able to get our food quickly. We both ordered the SOUVLAKI PLATE – my husband had lamb with rice, and I had french fries with shrimp. For two portions of food, side salads, and two drinks, we paid a total of $62, including tax, which seemed a bit high for this place. We waited about 15 minutes for our food in the empty restaurant. When the food arrived, I picked up one of the two skewers with shrimp and noticed that the shrimps on the other skewer were clearly overcooked. They had tried to hide the burnt shrimp under the good ones. I returned the burnt shrimp to the girl who had taken our order earlier, explained the situation, and her response was, “I think it’s just a burnt tail, but okay, we’ll replace it.” This reaction surprised me a little, as it seemed like they were trying to deceive me twice. The new skewer of shrimp took as long to prepare as the original two full orders (again, the restaurant was empty), so by the time I finally got it, I had already eaten almost my entire portion. My fries and my husband’s rice were just okay, but his lamb was bland, and my shrimp was too salty. Overall, our impressions of this place are quite mixed, but in the end, we both agreed that we won’t be returning.

This is our second time here and we are just in love with this place. The welcome you receive from Jacklyn(spelling? Sorry) as soon as you walk through the door, starts your experience off right! The food is delicious, we ordered the Chicken gyro and an order of fries (not pictured), shrimp souvlaki plate, lamb souvlaki plate and an appetizer to share. DELICIOUS! I will recommend this place to everyone I know!
