Some of the tastiest food and most friendly people! Their gyros and wraps are too tasty. Hector makes such amazing food, and Carlos is really friendly and helpful. We have found our go to place for lunch or dinner. If you like med food, definitely give them a try!

Ordered lamb/beef gyro with Greek fries. Flavors were delicious and the portion was huge. The falafels were crispy and delicious. In all, this place is a winner, we all agreed we’ll be back.

Delicious and large portioned falafel plate. I was full but I finished it anyway, it was that good. Didn’t care for the banana shake, the flavor didn’t seem to come from real bananas; it seemed an added flavor. Appreciated that we only ordered one shake and essentially got two. That was very generous. We were there for dinner and almost no one else in the place. Probably more of a lunch spot. Would definitely go again for the falafel plate or the wrap.Vegetarian options: Falafel plate is awesome! Wish there were non-dairy options for smoothie/shake though. I’m vegan, husband vegetarian.

Thoroughly outstanding first experience here, can't wait to come back. The new owners are super cool and make everything by hand. The chicken souvlaki plate truly might be the best I've ever had - meat was tender and perfectly cooked, as was the rice and pita bread. Price, cleanliness, portion size, and overall vibe were excellent. Will definitely be back here many times.

This place is delicious! Both dine-in and to-go orders are very well served. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, even the sauces are made in house and they do not disappoint! The meats are flavorful and the falafels are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The hummus is also delicious and pairs well with the warm pita. The staff is also very kind! I definitely recommend!! 10/10

We got a lamb Gyro ($11) with Greek fries ($2.50) and a spicy chicken Gyro ($11). Taste: 5/5. Good mix of flavors and ratio of ingredients. All veggies were fresh. Lots of veggies in the gyros. LOVED the squeeze bottles of garlic aioli, mustard sauce, and hot sauce, the sauces really took the meal to another level! French fries were piping hot, tho not crispy. And it wasn't cuz of the toppings -- naked fries were still not crispy. I like soft fries so I liked them, bf did not. Gyros were very, very messy and disintegrated toward the end, but I guess that's why forks were invented.Value for price: 5/5. I've definitely had gyros with more meat, but $13 for a Gyro and fries in today's inflationary environment ain't bad.Storefront: Serious small-family-business vibes. Decor's tacky and minimal, but has its homegrown sort of charm. Clean tables, organized condiment/utensil counter areas. Very casual spot.Suggestion to the business would be to have add-on, upcharge options to meals displayed on the menu. Keeping the base price somewhat on the low end is great, but you can make a little more $$ by tempting the customer with small add-ons like extra meat or a falafel or two. I would've gone for adding two falafels to my meal, but I wasn't about to spring for an entire falafel shebang with hummus and pita and everything.I'd def come back here again, it's a great little neighborhood joint!

Tried this place out while looking for a new place to eat locally and it seemed healthy enough so why not, right?When I walked in the aesthetic was humble yet cozy and clean. We were greeted by the two men that were working and honestly, I’m assuming they were the owners, if they weren’t NEVER let these two go. Their warmth when interacting with their customers is unparalleled and honestly took both my boyfriend and I by surprise.As far as the food, it was fantastic! And very large portions. Very easy to see why this place has such high ratings. Will absolutely be returning.

Arrived on Sunday evening and hardly anyone there. We were able to sit down and enjoy a great meal for party of 5. Our 2 orders of pita arrived within 10 minutes of sitting down. The pita bread was nicely fried and hot as it was placed in front of us. Hummus, babaganoush and a nice small salad accompanied the plate. Our meals itself was hot, delicious and fresh ingredients alongside either plain fries or greek fries with generous portions making it a very filling meal. Our cashier and cook were delightful and hardworking people, thank you very much for accommodating our family.Vegetarian options: Ingredients are all very fresh and you're able to request any dietary restrictions to them and they will gladly accommodate your request.Parking: Parking is just before "What the Falafel" that include other businesses.Dietary restrictions: Ingredients are all very fresh and you're able to request any dietary restrictions to them and they will gladly accommodate your request.

Got the deluxe chicken wrap with greek fries. Not bad, but might go for a basic wrap next time; almost a little too much going on in the deluxe. Good banana shake, but cardboard straws just don't work for shakes.

The most tender chicken I ever had. It is delicious. The chef and restaurant owner are both super nice guys. You get to watch how food is made behind the counter. Kitchen and the sitting area is shiny clean. It was my first time going there today, will definitely go back and go often. Hope the business do super well. They deserve the very best.
We tried Chicken Souvlaki and Deluxe wrap (veg) and both were really good. Variety of sauces are available on the side! The person at the counter was very welcoming. Must try mediterranean spot!!

Good food and very fresh and I enjoyed my meal but not 5 stars . My reason is the Tzakiki saUCE ISN'T TANGY. Damn CAPS! Maybe it wasn't stirred or whatever but I will go and try again. IMO only the sauce that day tasted only like whatever the cream in sauce is and really nothing else.

It's like finding treasure in your backyard! The ingredients were fresh, it was extremely clean and healthy with great portions. I ordered the Mediterranean platter with lamb, it was well seasoned, thinly sliced and didn't taste frozen. The hummus was extremely fluffy and had a nice smoky flavor. I could've easily split the platter into 2 meals, just imagine a Panda Express to go box minus the dividers! The vegetables were extremely vibrant and fresh as well, definitely going to add this spot in my weekly rotation. I ordered the dolmas as well, which was only $6 for 7 of them thangsss. The dolmas were decent, nothing crazy, but if you're craving them it'll work.

We really wanted to love this place because the staff were sooooo friendly and helpful, the portions are big and the reviews are greatIt's a casual but colorful little shop where you order at the counter. There are various wrap styles to choose from, and I had the deluxe since it included eggplant and I love eggplant. We got one wrap with chicken and the other with lamb along with a falafel plateI will say that the meat was GREAT. Both the chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked and flavored. However, I didn't feel like the rest of the vegetable toppings went well together as a wrap. It was like too much thick slabs of tomato and cucumber. I found myself dismantling it to try to improve the flavor combination. I think thinner and less cuts of the vegetables (and this is coming from a veggie lover!) would've enhanced the meat flavors while still adding texture. I think we were also a little dismayed that we saw them heat up frozen bagged fries.

One of the best falafel in south bay.. Calos and Hector both are sweet and gentlemen. They served the food with so much love. Love all the sides hummus, tahini, babaghanoush and freshly made falafel. Best Pita bread I ever had so crispy and well done!!! A Must must visit place if you like mediterranean food.
