My wife and I have visited twice. Ordered an array in order to experience the offerings. Appetizer sampler is ok. Hummus and baba ganoush is good. The stuffed grape leaves are Very
bitter and cold (obviously from frozein). (As opposed to other offerings from other places). Now, the entree. Prior I ordered lamb skewers and they were OK. The last visit we both ordered Moussaka. FAIL!!! Complete Mush like it had been stored for a Very long time and then microwaved to death.. Indiscernible ingredients eggpland, beef etc., MUSH. We ate almost none of it TERRIBLE!!! (Brought the leftovers home to try to salvage it but threw it all away. Waste of money. We have had moussaka from other restaurants for years and this is terrible. (Yes, I know the difference from Greek Moussaka and Egyptian.)

I’ve gotten carry out here twice and both times it was absolutely delicious!! Don’t think there’s anything else like it around here. I agree the chicken was slightly on the dry side, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

If I could go -1 on this rating I would.

First off, there is no buffet anymore. They use that area for storage for their store now. This was the entire reason I went in the first place, so I was bummed out the gate.

I ordered Lamb kabobs with rice and a salad. After I got my order in I headed to the bathroom, and omg....disgusting. it has been many moons since they cleaned it. There was pee all over the floor and it smelled rancid.

While we waited for our lunch, I did a tour of their store. I started to notice the ceiling tiles were destroyed, missing, or had mold on them. I saw they had Mango aloe water and was about to get some, until I noticed they had expired 2 months ago.

Get back to our table and my salad was there. It looked like the lettuce was also many moons old, took 2 bites and had enough, it was putrid.

At this point I was ready to leave but was hoping the entree would be the saving Grace. It was not. The rice was cold and felt like it just got out of the freezer. More important....it was not a kabob at all...just a plate of meat and random vegetables. The meat felt over cooked and as if it also had just gotten out of the freezer. The lamb didn't taste terrible, but was hard to chew.

-1/5...will never go back and highly recommend you DO NOT try it. What a disappointment.

Food ok. I got the combo meal without rice and I liked the gyro meat and ground beef. Some meat might have been sheep, but it was very tough to cut. The chicken was dry. Overall, a thinner Tzaki sauce could have benefitted the dish. My husband liked his lamb chops but said it wasn't a lot and the rice was bland. I tasted his lentil soup and it was very good. Please clean your bathrooms! They are filthy. I wouldn't have eaten there if I'd seen those before eating.

The food was above and beyond my expectations! The most authentic Mediterranean cuisine I have had in the United States! Highly recommend enjoying the hookah lounge to relax after your meal. The service and selection was also above par!

I ordered 2 servings of tabooleh. Worst I have ever had. The minute I opened the dish I could smell the old extra virgin olive and it tasted worse than it smelled. Contacted the restaurant and they more or less told me I didn't know good from bad oil. I told him I get my extra virgin olive oil from a friend who's grandfather manufactures and sells directly from Greece. Was a waste of $20.... don't go there if you want fresh tasty food
