HANDS DOWN, best place in town for Mediterranean food. I am well-traveled... I know when something is authentic. This place is it. My favorite dish is the Gyro Salad, Gyro Pita Wrap and don't skip out on the grape leaves and falafel. I would eat here every day if I could ...

Wow, amazing food. My falafel was amazing. And the salads…so fresh. And really reasonable. Seating is a little tight so you might consider takeout if the place is busy. Lots of options for vegetarians and meat eaters.

I have past this place for many many years….but never tried it out…couldn’t really tell you why because there is no real reason, I just didn’t! But recently I had a couple of friends try it out and they enjoyed it so I finally decided to give it a shot…I’m glad I did! the food was excellent and the service was quick and friendly! They offer many different selections that I intend to try in the future. My gyro platter was fantastic!! Definitely recommend!
