Got carry-out here. The gyro platter and the chicken platter were great. The beef sandwich plate was not. The beef was so tough that you could not even cut it with a knife. Inedible and we threw it out. The salads were great and so was the hummus. However, the house salad dressing tasted really weird. Use your own salad dressing if you get carry-out. Tasziki sauce was good. Overall, very inconsistent with some great items and some not.

Very clean place, great service. The food is absolutely fantastic, and the owner has a lot of passion for the ingredients and customer service.

Recently moved back to the area. Almost didn’t try this place because of the up and down reviews. I had it last week and this week. Both times I had the Chicken Souvlaki Platter. It was very good. The salad was fresh with all the usual ingredients, the chicken was very well seasoned and tender, the pita was delicious, the yogurt sauce and salad dressing was also very good. For sure I’ll be going back again and again and again! Seems like Africans bought the place but it was very good Greek food.

Good place is dated in decor. The service was ok. Order my food online (gyro platter) is overpriced but it used to be worth it. The website says allow 20 minutes to prepare. I thought that was long since all the do is heat up the food. Well I picked up my order in about 15 minutes, it was cold, they didn't heat it up enough, it didn't taste fresh at all. I'm not going back. The quality and taste of the gyro platters had changed over the years. I think it may be under new management or something but definitely thumbs down. 20 bucks down the toilet

I'm not sure if ownership or management changed, but the food sure has. My spouse and I always get gyro platters. I take mine with no rice, replaced by extra salad. This time, no tomato slices with feta. The oil dressing lacked flavor, and the tzaziki sauce was extra runny and lacked cucumber flavor. They did put diced tomatoes, red onion and cucumber in, but no peperoncini, no olives. The bread was burned and hard. Let's hope this was just a bad day. Examine your food before you leave. We've never had to before, but it's clear we need to start. Too bad, this is our go-to for gyros. Sadly, the food did not justify the money paid.

I have been eaten many foods but this Greek Aroma is Amazing. Please go try yourself. Some weaknesses like every business but they are the best. Cheap fresh food ever and very tasty.Will recommend

Something has changed from about 2 months ago. First, the computer charged more than the posted menu price. Staff were unable to say why. The spices for the beef slouvaki were not the usual and were not tasty. The lettuce was small strips that are used as decoration for like platters. The tomato slices were almost paper thin. The feta and dressing on the sandwich were minimal. The baklava was dry and not flaky.Greek Aroma was my favorite restaurant but I won't go back after this visit. Makes me sad because it used to be so good.

This place is a hidden gem! I wished we lived closer and glad we tried it…by far it’s hands down the best Greek food I’ve had in a long time! :) Will def pay them a visit again!
There might be a Greek aroma, but there's certainly not much Greek flavor. My wife and I ate here tonight and were sorely disappointed by the food and service. The meager portions of the Mediterranean platter you see here were made all the more humble by the staff forgetting not only the hummus but also the single(!) dolma that was to accompany it. My wife's Friday special platter was, likewise, of miserly portion size, and they neglected to include the baklava with it. I had to request the missing items, which I was then summoned to retrieve. (They couldn't bring even their missing items to the table?) The baklava was soggy, but not in the nice way, laden down with syrup, but rather like a pastry that had been left in a humid room for an entire day. Extremely disappointing from every angle, and we paid $45 for the two of us to experience it. May I humbly suggest you visit Aleko's Village Cafe or The Big Greek Cafe in Urbana. Both are excellent.I seldom leave a bad review, but this experience warranted it.

Wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt because of Covid the portions have decreased. The green salad is now shredded lettuce a few pieces of cubes cucumber two grape leaves and four slices of tomato for the inexpensive price of $7.99. That’s embarrassing. I realize things are tight but shredded lettuce in a main salad is not acceptable. The spanikopita was so salty it barely had any spinach in it. Needless to say we won’t be frequenting this establishment anytime soon.

I’m with everyone who has recently experienced a severe decline in this restaurant. 3 weeks ago ordered gyros and had barely enough meat to cover massive lettuce and tomatoes. Thought it was a fluke so tonight stopped and ordered again. Unfortunately it was just as underwhelming and meat was dried out like it had been microwaved. I live close by and have enjoyed this place for many years. Not sure I’ll return and definitely won’t recommend. Very sad and disappointing

Seriously declined over last year. Heard owner passed away. Whoever is operating is going to run this seriously great business into the ground. Need to find a new Greek spot. Unfortunate because I loved this restaurant

I don’t usually do this as I am a restaurant manager and know things are hard right now, but I’ve never witnessed a downfall like this before. I used to live on this end of town and come once a week, minimum. Now I’m on this end of town every 3 weeks and stop in whenever I can. It has rapidly gone from the best in town to not worth it at all.I’ve even talked to the manager about the “changes” and he seems completely oblivious to a restaurant needs to focus on consistency of ts foo, it’s literally garbage at this point. Thin, runny tasteless Tzatziki, smaller pita, flavorless gyro meat….I could go on.New menu board, new art, new table arrangement with burnt out light bulbs, broken coke machine, and suddenly a used cooler with warm Costco sodas. Get a contract with Coke, it’ll be cheaper in the long run. Focus on the food, get back to what you were not that long ago, re discover consistency and if you’re still open in a year I’ll try again. Honestly sad and disappointing.
