Lots of vegan choices here with faux meats. I ate my falafel and fries. The fries were a light golden, crunchy outside fluffy inside, generous portion, but it costs extra. The falafel (about five in the wrap) was good, a little dry, but good chickpea flavor 5/5...but I wished the lettuce wasn't so "spring mix from a supermarket bag" and clubky chunky...I like to see more finesse...but the pita was the thick fluffy kind and the sandwich was well wrapped so you could hold it without too much falling out. I enjoyed the cute Sierra Madre ambiance inside...though I was kept waiting so long in the place i nearly left...about 12 minutes alone before someone emerged from the back, without as much of a welcome or greeting. Well, I was excited to be there at least. Anyway, no check ins from any server but I tipped the guy 15 percent anyway, and he did thank me for that. I ordered a beef and chicken combo with rice and the proteins were grrrreat 5/5. It survived the half-hour drive home. Suggestion: Ask to have the pita bread packaged outside the container. The pita was under the proteins...alas mushy soggy unrecognizable....not smart, sorry. So if you want pita that isn't mush, beg to have the pita on the side. One star less because of that decision to put bread on the bottom for a takeout order. My mom didn't get any pita 0/5 and that's a shame bec it was the fluffy kind.

They need to train their staff properly. Our family purchased us a $100 gift card on their website, to help support a local business and feed us while we are displaced from the Eaton fire. We presented the email code at the store when picking up a phone order, and the staff refused to accept the gift card. They said they didn’t know what to do with this, and there was noone they were willing to call to figure out how to apply the credit. What a scam!

Expensive. It's decent. I usually order from raffis down the road.

Delicious and authentic Mediterranean food. This cozy and warm restaurant is located off the main street in this quiet town. It is clean and convenient. Especially on Mondays, when the most restaurants were closed on Mondays, I was able to find this restaurant since I was very hungry at 230 pm. The food was very delicious and I ordered the Lule: beef and chicken kabobs. The meats were juicy and delicious; the side dish was authentic with eggplants and tomatoes. I was rather happy with the food. The interior design was yellow and cozy, plus the cold lemon water, made me feel very comfortable. It was reasonable priced as 21 dollars. I certainly will come back to this restaurant again.

I was 3 minutes away, so I tried delivery, the website said "we do not deliver to your location". I then ordered $40 dollars of food for pickup, the website said "Estimated Pickup Time: Pending..." for 45 minutes until they closed. I called multiple times with no answer, I am extremely disappointed with their services.

The food is very good, but the woman I spoke to on the phone to place our take- out order was rude, impatient, and unintelligent. She had a really difficult time communicating and was very unpleasant.

The service is great, very friendly and helpful with the menu. The atmosphere is nice, with a view of the Foothill mountains and on warm breezy days they have the long windows open for a nice breeze. The food is very delicious. We ordered the Veggie Gyro and the Vegan Gyro, with fries on the side. All were very yummy. We have been here a couple times before today, and we will definitely be back again.
Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian and vegan options that are both very tasty.
