Dietary restrictions: They work so hard to meet all my difficult allergies. They are always so kind.

“Service and food were amazing! Unexpected gem of a little food spot on the 4th floor of an office building. My Gyro burger was great! Very flavorful, thick burger patties, perfect Gyro meat, veggies paired greatly, and the Tzatziki sauce helped tie it all together. Portion was perfect to have the burger by itself without any sides, you can get the half (1 patty) or full like I did (2 patties). The burger plus the Pastrami came out to around $30 and for the amount of food and quality, I’d say it’s a great deal. Will be back for sure to try the many different options that are offered. Too many good choices!“

“Aside from the fact this place is literally down the hill from me.. the owner & his beautiful family are Gucci ASF. Always smiling no matter what.. I've seen him take over this place, update & upgrade expanding not only his professionalism but the overall popularity in owning/running a well established business. I highly recommend stopping by for one of his infamous handcrafted deli sandwiches. Yooo, you don't even knoow!! 🤤 As for the liquor aspect of it, your boy's got a top notch selection of shelf spirits varying from Bourbon, Rye, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Scotch whisky, Amaro & even Bitters! Oh Mylanta Georgia I almost forgot.. 🤗 this family owned business even has the types of snacks & munchies we all crave; don't let me get started on the Mexican candies yo 😆 I'm telling y'all if you still think it's too good to be true, just see for yourself!! Well worth the spending xoxo“

“I enjoy their calzones, pizza, sandwiches & Greek salads. However, for the first time I ordered a pastrami on roll with red onions, pickles and mustard.
IT WAS THE WORSE SANDWICH EVER! Two paper thin slices of pastrami, onions were thick hand some were huge. The pickle was a spear. All I could taste were the onions. It's been a while since I've ordered food as I used to a lot pre COVID. Well, I went to three other sandwich shops and no one served pastrami! So I made my own and it was fabulous. See the second photo on the right I made... It's on the round roll.“
