Up charges on everything. You want Cucumber on your gyro .99$ olives .99$ side salad instead of fries 2$ food was good but I would have liked my server to let me know everything was an up charge. She asked if I liked everything on my gyro yes im not picky if I had known it was all a dollar up charge for every item she listed I would have said no. All the up charges added 7$ on to my gyro.

My husband and I tried this place for the first time today and loved it! I got a falafel gyro and he got the meat lovers platter. I feel like so often today you go somewhere and the food is just OK and usually costs too much, so we were both very happy when the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the cost was reasonable! The waitress/bartender there was also cool and friendly. You should definitely check this place out!

Sooooo…this is a dive bar with Greek and Turkish inspired bar food. This is absolutely not a Greek and Turkish grill. You can get an equivalent or possibly better gyro from Arby’s. Anyone who says this food is good has not tasted Mediterranean food before. The walls are dirty, the room smells like a mix of spilled beer, musty old surfaces, dirty taps, and cleaning solution; there’s a DJ playing very loud rap and R&B music, basketball games and Family Guy on TV. There are more shots than anything else on the drink menu. Boxed wine. Everything comes with French fries. Two dinners & two drinks cost $80 before tip. The server was very nice.

The food was really good, although it wasn't entirely authentic (at least the Greek food). The place was dark, and the layout was kinda weird. We came early, so it was pretty empty, and the lady was friendly and helpful. Wouldn't mind returning.
So glad we found this place!
Great food decent prices $
I was disappointed with my dining experience. Our waiter seemed much more focused on the bar area than on checking in with our table. When my meal arrived, it was extremely spicy and I was unable to eat most of it. The server noticed that my food was barely touched, but never asked if there was an issue or offered an alternative option. There was also no attempt to make things right with a replacement dish, adjustment, or discount. Good customer service can turn a mistake into a positive experience, but unfortunately that didn't happen during this visit. I hope the restaurant improves its attention to guests and responsiveness to concerns.
Always great food!

Fantastic food with great service. I really enjoyed the gyros and shawarma wrap along with the fried okra. I’d definitely come here again.
