Ordered a meal for three. Classic pita with chicken, one with gyro meat and a kids meal. Everything was delicious and portions were good. Everyone there was friendly and my only complaint was the prices for the combos. Additional $5 for fries and a drink. Pita on its own was a little over $10 but what isn't expensive nowadays and I'm assuming they're doing what they can to stay afloat.

The service was good, although I likely won't be returning. The dish I had ordered in particular was a bit bland for my taste.

This evening I stopped by for a take away, they were out of rice and they said it would take 20 minutes to make some, so I ordered Gyro sandwich instead because I did not have the time. The wait was ridiculous and they were obviously short staffed, just 1 kid taking care of the called in orders and in restaurant ones as well. After 30 minutes of waiting I asked when would my order be ready, and why were they working on the order of the lady who came after me instead of my order?? The kid’s response was rude enough to make me decide to leave without my order. I wasted my time, my money, and above all, I was stressed for no reason. Very disappointing!!!

Some of the worst Greek food I’ve had. I don’t see how this place got so many good reviews… I ordered a Loaded Bowl. The chicken and falafel were both incredibly dry, the gyro meat was too salty, and the rest of the bowl included just a few roughly chopped tomatoes, some shreds of cabbage and pickled onions, feta cheese, and pita over too much rice.

Been to this location twice and both times the chicken was dry and burnt. It tasted like they needed to clean their grill- gross. Probably why I was their only customer at dinner time. And not an ounce of seasoning on the fries..Won’t be back.

Definitely won’t be back. Roughly $20 for this salmon plate. I asked for no rice and double greens which were not fresh at all. Salmon was super dry and very very salty.Also had the dolmas, which seemed like they came from a can. Disappointed overall

The lemon chicken soup is the best. Chop up the kabob and mix it and the rice into the soup for a meal in a bowl. Em..em..good!

I ordered & paid online. I arrived at the time I was told my order would be ready. It is now 40 minutes past that time & I am still waiting. The front desk was pleasant & trying to make things right. Thr chef was surly, unapologetic & curt. Very poor impression. Also loudly sharing her issues.

I had recently been to a Daphne's in Irvine. That was perfect. Went to the one in Pasadena. Rice tasted stale. The sandwich I got was sad. Soggy fried inside. Not filled enough. Looked like a kids
Used to come here a lot but walked out when I saw the price increase by 80%. This is crazy! I can get better meals at full service restaurant for less!

Terribly slow. Not even busy. Had one table with customers. Not even a lot of to-go or online orders waiting. Waited 30 minutes. No updates. No apologies. No smile. Just disengaged. The cookers don't even wear masks and they gossip with each other as they prepare food. Very poorly managed. No manger.

Been going here for 15 years. Haven't gone in the last year or two. Must have changed ownership. Charged me additional $2.75 for two white sauces which used to come with the meal. I wanted to add a side of vegetables for an additional 4-5 dollars. When I opened the box I saw two green bean, two nickel sized carrot slices and a strand of onion. They also put a hot sauce on the meal without a request. They just lost a long term customer.

Ridiculous experience! We did a catering order with them on May 20th, 2022 and we were extremely disappointed with the quality of food that was given to us. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday with his friends over for dinner and thought Daphne would be great! Unfortunately, I was highly embarrassed with the kind of food I had to serve my guests! Firstly, they delayed the order pick up and when they gave us the food the chicken skewers were burnt! The food only smelled of the burnt grill and super charred! I literally had to throw away all the food and only rely on pita & falafel with the dips! I am never going back to them!
