Hummus was delicious and flavorful. Rice was OK, moist but kinda bland. The gyro meat did not look freshly sliced, more like something they pulled from the freezer (reminded me of McRibs)... I don't think I will come back.

This place is a good option if you’re wanting some fresh/authentic Mediterranean food that you can take to go. Price was great for the food portion size that you get.

Also, the cashier was very nice. We were given fresh pasta & water bottle on the house to try which was unexpected & very kind.

I am glad because I never thought of ordering pasta but that was the BEST pasta I have had in a minute and will be getting again

What a great place with really good food!!! Small hole in the wall with just 2 tables but most people there were like me... takeout. I ordered a lot...I wanted to try different things.
Lamb shank with yogurt was wonderful and curry lamb stew was good...though I like stronger curry...but that's just a personal preference...but it was still delicious.
Hummus is good.
The meat in the gyros was not as flavorful as I had hoped...but still it was good.
Overall,...
