It’s like half food place half thrift shop, which can be cool if you spot something you like but the fries were not good. That being said the actual gyro was great and the salad too. But the vibes are just kinda sad there right now and maybe that’s not exactly their fault but the atmosphere isn’t quite welcoming tbh.

Honestly, a disappointing experience. For reference, I really enjoy places that have high quality food for of course, affordable prices. Unfortunately, the food was not of the quality that I expected (specifically the kabob). They were tiny little skewers that were not charred to a good level. Which was ridiculous for the 18+ dollars that I paid for a plate. The ambiance and decoration of the place was great, but the food was subpar. Service was decent as well. It's a fast...

I had a great experience at this Greek café! I ordered the beef gyro with fries, and everything was delicious. The gyro had a generous amount of flavorful meat, and the fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—just how I like them. The customer service was also excellent—friendly and attentive. And you must try the baklava—so good! Definitely coming back.
