Ordered the traditional gyro, fries, and seasoned rice from DoorDash. The fries were ok, the rice was bland and the gyro meat wasn’t good. Was a less than mediocre meal for such an expensive price. The only thing good was the red tomato sauce that came with it.

The food here is amazing! Consistently excellent, and not very busy. The staff is friendly, the place is always spotless and the service is great. Fast enough to get a meal over the lunch hour without rushing.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of healthy-ish and good tasting options for kids

Nice looking store. We went looking for the Simple Greek. It is not on the sign or anywhere in sight. Instead there is Garbanzo Med Fresh. Great interior with gorgeous signage in and out.
We ordered traditional gyros. Since we have a history with the Greek community in another state, we looked forward to a great gyro/pita hand held. We were disappointed. The distinct gyro taste of lamb/beef was hard to discern. The sandwich was heavy on cucumbers. Most of the meat was not hot. The sauce had way too much dill...not a traditional taste. It was off.
In addition, the review here give the restaurant a $ on cost. There are no meals under $11. Everything is more. Plus there is not service, yet they ask for a tip at the counter. That's bad form in my book. The store looks great, the service was good for a 'stand at the counter and order your own food kind of like a subway'. But both of our gyros were off. And I felt light on the portion of meat.
I suggest the manager/owner rethink their recipe for a traditional gyro. It would not induce me to ever return. And meat should be served piping hot, not lukewarm to cold. This store has great potential in my opinion and I am rooting for them to get the food side right.
