Really enjoyed my experience. Authentic, delicious, quick. Had a variety of seating arrangements that made our experience enjoyable. Really nice people. Chicken wrap, gyro, and hummus were delicious. I like how they wrapped our gyro and wrap, made it easier to eat and handle.

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 had heard that this place was one of the popular Mediterranean spots, so my expectations were fairly high. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I ordered a vegetarian pita, which turned out to be quite bland. There was very little hummus and tahini sauce, and the falafel was extremely dry and lacked flavor. The French fries were also very basic and tasteless, and no dipping sauce was provided, which I feel is essential with this kind of food. The chicken pita was just okay—nothing special, but not terrible either. Additionally, the staff did not seem to understand instructions clearly. Overall, this was a poor experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

This place gave my dad stomach poisoning. I do not recommend eating here. Plus the owner’s son treats their employees bad. I witnessed multiple instances where they’ve been treated unfairly. I’ve been coming here for years but unfortunately service has decreased drastically. Completely disappointed.
