Came here with my boyfriend, get the lamb and beef gyro!! So tender, and so good
Meh. Food had no real seasoning or flavor. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. Really small eating area, and the chairs outside aren't very comfortable. I wouldn't say no to eating the food served here (if it were free) but I could've made what they served me from home; at least then I wouldn't be paying more than what the food is worth. Not coming back. At least the employees were nice

Great food, fast efficient service, reasonable price. I had the large lamb gyro at a decent price and it was nicely seasoned, full of fresh lettuce tomato cucumber and onion, and had great tzatziki. They offered hot sauce which I took and it was a great optional addition for me as a spice lover. While waiting I drank free water from a dispenser on the counter and enjoyed the fact that these folks are running a small and quick cafe with authentic food, and not pretending to be my fake friend with effusive over the top “service”. Highly recommended if you enjoy good food and don’t require “the help” to supplicate to you.

Fresh, healthy. Nice staff.
We went on a recommendation from a friend. The service was fast. Food is meant to be picked up only since there are two tiny tables inside. The food just was not our favorite tasting.

Baklava was good. Customer service was very bad. There were zero customers waiting. And some type of heated scheduling discussion happening. We didn’t feel welcomed. Won’t return.

Our favourite gyro place
Just got soup to go, absolutely horrible. They must have not had any broth so they they dumped it full of water instead. Honestly as the years go by, the food gets worse and worse and the price goes up every time I go in. Sadly, I won't return to this establishment.

I've only order 3 things here over the years. The lamb souvlaki, the french fries and rarely, I order the gyro. The lamb souvlaki is great because the lamb is almost always grilled medium rare and very flavorful. The lettuce tomatoes & onions are crisp and fresh and with a delicious sauce. The french fries are the best in town and probably the best in the area. It's crisp and steaming hot and very well seasoned and flavorful. Sometimes I'll come by and just order the fries. Although the Gyro is fresh and has great veggies and they give a good portion of meat, it's just an average Gyro. The negatives of this place is that they are not the warmest or friendliest of people. Sometimes they won't even say a word or smile but just take your order. Also, when your order is ready and if you're sitting in the outside tables, they don't call your name or they call in a low voice and they'll just let your food sit there without going outside and telling you. And, they have significantly increased their prices since Covid. I still come here because the food is good but I don't come as much because of the negatives I've mentioned.

I just got grilled salmon salad and the food smells weird. I pushed myself to eat since i was hungry but the smell was undeniable.. Hoping to not get sick.
I cannot recommend this place. Food is heavily salted and the woman behind the counter needs customer service training. She refused to serve us tap water saying she had no glasses, although two weeks earlier the counter man gave us 2 tap waters in blue plastic glasses that were still above the counter. Prices are high enough to cover the cost of drinking water.
