A disappointment for price, serving portions and quality of food. Steak on platter way over cooked, Greek salad laughable, Peta needed toasting. Sauces served in tiny dunk cups.The only saving grace was it was clean and employees seemed polite.I've eaten in Mediterranean restaurants from Africa to Israel to Italy. The right flavors were in the sauces and the falafel, cooked in old oil, was very good, but that does not make this a Mediterranean experience. But what do you want? This is the middle of Iowa.Glad we tried it. No need to go back.

The food is great. Mostly Greek cuisine. Gyro lamb, tzaziki sauce, olives, and feta cheese. The interior is small. About 6 tables and very little room to move around. They do have as drive up window so maybe they focus more on carry out. There is additional patio seating for the Summer. I had the rice bowl with steak. Very good, but expensive for what it is. Almost $20 per person with a side and drinks.

Over past couple of years i have ordered multiple times the same go to food choices - 6 piece Falafel and Moroccan chicken pita sandwich with spicy harrisa sauce (love it). Not once i have been disappointed. Same consistent quality food every time and well done. offer customize food options. Inside ambience is good and very neat. Drive-thru is the best and quick.

I was eating my meal The sandwich didn’t have any meat small plate, rice plain taste, no seasoning rude manager also found a hair in the kebab plate rolled around the meat when I spoke to the manager she said I can’t do anything the grill closed I wouldn’t waste your money here, everything‘s overpriced, and not worth the money We spent almost $100 thinking we were gonna get good food they don’t care about food safety none of the chefs are wearing hairnets. I couldn’t believe I found a hair while I was eating my food.• i was only refunded the tip money when I was told that I was getting a full refund we didn’t eat any the food as soon as I started eating I see hair rolled around the kebab I emailed you my phone number and never received a call back.

This place used to be my favorite in the area but something changed over the past couple of years. It's fine, but not as amazing as it used to be.

The name says it all, FRESH! We enjoyed a gyro salad with Tzatziki sauce that was full of fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked gyro meat. They offer delicious homemade hummus and a wide variety of other sauces to enjoy as well. The different infused waters they offer daily for dine in is a great bonus. The space is smaller inside, but they offer a large patio with plenty of seating. There is also a convenient drive up window. Plus it's family owned!

Excellent food. The family meals are a great deal for healthy quick weeknight dinners. Can't beat the gyros.

The food here is great, price point is a little higher than comparable places, drive thru is convenient.My one issue...the drive thru workers ask if you want to tip.#1 it's a drive thru#2 it's a verbal ask...if you are going to ask, please ask me digitally so that if I decline, I can do so without it feeling personal ??‍♀️
