I work at a nearby business and I had the pleasure of trying the food for the first time, it was amazing! The service when I went inside for a large pick up was outstanding, the gentleman who assisted me even took it out to my car for me. The owner is so kind and it shows in his staff as well! 100% recommend!

This place is always excellent. The service and food is outstanding. I work close by and pick up food for lunch. The food is quality and served fresh. The other day I was picking up a meal and even though I was late by 10 minutes they waited to plate the food so that it was served fresh and hot! Love them!!!

The food was delicious. The service was stellar. We were the only ones for dine in lunch but there were several carry outs as we were eating. I had lamb gyro with fries and it was fabulous. Seasoned great and generous portion size. My daughter got falafel and mom got a HUGE Greek salad. Top notch.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint! Friendly service, large portions, and a delightfully spicy homemade hot sauce. Got a rice bowl with their homemade falafel & it was enough for two meals. Everything tasted fresh. Will definitely be back

Terrible restaurant. Mean, rude lady working the front on Sunday afternoon.

$35 for 2 drinks. Service horrible. Do not go!!!

Service was good, food was fair. First off the humus was sour, not to my liking, but not store bought. Falafel was flavorful but I don't like tzatziki sauce and the humus was not to my taste, so this left the falafel very dry. This is an option on this side of town at the least.

Sign said seat yourself we chose a booth and sat for 10 minutes when an employee was wiping down table looked right at me I smiled and she looked away wiped the table next to us and proceeded to walk away we waited maybe another 10 minutes and walked out. We were planning on getting dinner and drinks but if you don't want business ignoring customers is way to do it. I have ordered delivery and food is very good. This was the first time trying to dine in.

If you're hungry, don't go there. Burger was a soft meat loaf w red sauce, not supposed to be on a classic burger, I'm Greek and my gyros wrap looked great but the gyros and tzeke sauce was flooded with the vinaigrette, every bite. Want to drink and shoot pool? This is your spot.

Food here is absolutely phenomenal. I am used to Turkish food, and I can say this is by far some of the best Turkish food I have ever had. The chef went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The staff are every friendly. Will definitely come here again.
