We need to know if the owner of this establishment is the same one that was seen in a video....

Nasty place , all I got to say , rude owner and mediocre of a business . Your much better off with the street vendors all around the beach ! Their food is way better than this junk.

The man that runs this place is unclassy and rude. The food is bad. He only takes cash. Sketchy place and sketchy owner.

After a campus tour with high school students, we stopped at the boardwalk. I'm so glad another parent wanted to try this place across the street. There was only one person doing everything and we later found out he was also the owner. We ordered at the counter and both picked the Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken. The owner came out with sauces and the dressing.. and explained each sauce. The salad was so refreshing. Everything was so yummy. He told us he hand picks every vegetable from the farmers market. We can tell he truly cares about what he makes. Once we finished eating, we paid. It was nice that we could pay our bill separately. It reminded me of a restaurant in Europe! Such a cute place. Bring cash as this place does not accept credit cards. If only we can get a great salad like this back in the Bay Area.

This place is magnificent! The owner's name is jamall. He has been here 35 years. I had to fish and chips and it was outstanding. The fish was actually caught this morning and he purchased it from stag Narrows on the wharf. The french fries were better than McDonald's! He cooks with passion, he's kind and welcoming. Do you think you just came home to grandpa's house. I highly recommend you come here and if you can get here between October and May you will miss the crowds. He is cash only but he has an ATM next to the register. I give this five stars and I will give him six stars if I could.

Friendly owner, great location. We had three falafel wraps & Mediterranean salad. 2 thumbs up. Pro tip: ask for the hot sauce & extra tahini.

Ate here before, food is fine but I came at 8:30pm, all the employees were chilling watching soccer and said they were closed. Pretty disappointed since they're listed closing time was 9pm

Delicious! Owner is a cool guy and made the place exciting. Fish and chips where fresh and the gyro was to die for! The French fries were perfect and I love the hot sauce.

The owner was friendly and the food was good. The spicy falafel was some of the best I've had. My sister thought the Gyro was a little bland but it was better with some extra sauce. The owner was also very friendly.

Mediocre at best. Gyro was a lot of bread and lettuce. Very little meat, sauce, tomato and zero feta. I won't be coming back.

Bad customer service and dirty atmosphere. This place is only in business because of The board walk. Poor quality food and horrible customer service. I well never come back to this place. Beware TBH

We ordered the beef gyro, fish gyro, and burger with fries. Fries were ok. Everything else lacked flavor. The food took long even though there were no customers. That alone should have been a sign not to eat there. The man who brought out our food was rude when I asked for ketchup. Also, they only accept cash. What a disappointment! Will never eat there again. Should've gone next door.

Fist time coming here and definitely not my last. Jamal was soo welcoming and kind. He made us feel like we've known him forever which is always a wonderful dining experience. Good food and great company!!! Loved it!!!

Fish and Chips were good but overcooked fries and wrong burger ingredients dominated the meal. Don't ask for a custom burger and it should be oOK.

This place is very bad. Customer service is good but the prices for the portions is complete s**** Like a whole $11 dollar shawarma wrap was surprisingly small and light. The girl was very nice and helpful. You can only pay cash but there is a $2 tax fee for no reason. The wraps were not good at all and not worth the price. And a $10 ATM fee which is stupid. Never coming back here. Do not recommend. They need to up their portions for the prizes. And get ride of these b******* fees and you should be able to use
