🔥🔥🔥food,and great service.
Every time we order food from this place, we spend $50, and they show up without knocking or ringing our doorbell, and then leave the food on our doorstep where we wipe our shoes... The food gets cold and soggy.... I recently contracted covid after eating this food...(No joke). Good gyros, but not worth it ... Notifying the Center for Disease and Control and calling the health inspector... Do these guys even wear gloves or masks for food preparation??

$20 for a salad!!! Absolutely ridiculous! What I thought I ordered was a Gyro over a salad, very deceiving! It's meat on a salad, I'm so disappointed! I'll never order from here again! 😡it forces you to pick an extra add on item, and I wouldn't consider 4-5 pieces cauliflower extra🤬 so mad!

There was a pack of staples in my gyro that I bit into when I tried to eat my lunch.

Call this place Jimmy John's because all you'll get is 'free smells'. Sat for about 40 minutes and was mostly ignored. We didn't get menus for at least 20 minutes, not even a glass of water... the person who brought our menus came back 20 minutes after and said someone would come take our order but after another 10 minutes or so, we gave up. There was a DJ playing really good music, that was the only redeeming quality. I've heard great things about the food but this was the absolute worst experience I've had dining in this city.

This unfortunate place has received a one-star review from me because the waitress/bartender Shay was extremely unprofessional. She did not submit or even write down our order until more than 30 minutes after we placed our initial order with her when she had nothing to write it down with. It took 1 hour to get our food which came out incorrect and subpar. It was so regrettably unfortunate I decided to wait for my food after what seemed like total disregard. In addition numerous other regulars and patrons got their food before I was even given the second thought. I will never be stopping here again. there is surely better places than this.

The chicken wrap was delicious and the fries were cooked to perfection. The owner is a very kind man as well. Great service too.

I got a chicken plate with rice and it was better than other places that focus on plating but tell me why I don’t have rice instead of just giving me some.
In Michigan we have way bettter middle eastern food and hospitality but here in Colorado Springs this is pretty good middle eastern food though my rice is better 😉
I thought it was pretty good except for my mushy rice. And I thought it was pretty good because last time when I ordered from heart of Jerusalem and I ordered their gyro meat and it was so cheap and grizzly and fatty. I couldn’t even actually eat my dinner and ended up hungry.
Here I will order again ✅

I had the gyro burger and the lamb was the most tender lamb. Literally falls apart and the flavor was epic. My mother had thr chicken kabob plate. The chicken was extremely flavorful but the star of this whole meal was the Turkish Rice. Hands down the best rice I have ever had. Will definitely be taking some home. I will be coming back again! Great place!

My and my fiancee first time there. We both had the gyro plate with lamb and an order of chicken gizzards. Both were very delicious. Plan on going back again.
I love this place. I am a Gyro connoisseur, and this place is one of my favs!
