I got the gyro and there was practically no tzatziki on it and the meat was very very dry. I do not recommend this based on the overpricing and lack of ingredients and sauce

PROS: The customer service was great, which is the first thing I judge at any place. The cashier helped us by asking what we liked eating and he made delicious recommendations. The establishment was also very clean and bright, good atmosphere. The food was so fresh and delicious! Personally, best Mediterranean food we've had in the 530/916 area.
CONS: Not much parking close by. Bathroom is hidden in the back and you need a code to get in. They didn't warn us the olives in the salad had pits, but luckily I tasted mine first then warned the kids about the olives. Bottled drinks only, no fountain drinks.

The late weekday lunch was underwhelming. The chicken gyro was bland and dressing was lumpy and warm. The dining room and extra seating area was dirty. The restrooms could use a cleaning. We won't return.

$3.89 for a bottled coca cola. I understand locally owned businesses charging slightly more, as I literally own a business here in downtown. $3.89 for one coke is greedy and you should know better.
Food was amazing! Will definitely be

Hands down the best salad bar in town, full of fresh delicious options you won't find anywhere else. Prepared options are quick and delicious too! Well worth the trip from anywhere in Sac, and a must for lunch if you're downtown.

I just started going back after initially patronizing them when they opened. Turns out, the breakfast burritos are good and so is the breakfast bagel. They are kinda pricey and the service is slow. You would think that they would have a full staff during the morning rush. Not sure what the service is like during lunch, but I would be hesitant to go. The worker in the morning is really nice and accommodating.Update *** loss my card here a month or so ago. Called because I received a notification for a declined purchase on a frozen card. The person that answered the phone was rude. She pretended as if she didn't understand what I was saying. She hung up. I called back, she didn't answer. I blocked my number and called back to speak to the manager, she said why then hung up again. RIDICULOUS! I'll NEVER go here again!

Breakfast and lunch food that works in a pinch, but a little pricey and food quality isn't the best. Chicken wraps are a little dry, breakfast burritos are soggy, salty, and not warm, and coffee is too watery and overheated/burnt.
