The staff is very slow. All i ordered was Greek fries and it took them 45 minutes to make it even though the place only had 2 other customers. It has happened multiple times. Even when I call ahead to order the wait is always more than 30 mins.

I haven't had any food from here that I have not thoroughly enjoyed!! The staff here are very professional and so friendly. Mr. Eric and Mrs. Karimi pretty much knows what I will order. The soup is amazing!! It has a hint of lemon flavor, with orzo rice, chunks of chicken, carrots, and other vegetables in it. The pork chop meal is really good, especially when Ms. Karimi submits my special request!! The orzo rice is extremely soft, very good, and flavorful. The roasted potatoes are dangerously good and seasoned well. The tzaiki sauce is excellent to the taste and pairs very well on the Greek salad, pork chops, and best with the roasted garlic potatoes!!! The gyros are very good and filling. The lamb chop meal is excellent!!!

The gyro meat was incredibly dry, as if it had been sitting out for hours. There was also minimal sauce or tomatoes or onions on the gyro, which didn't help make the sad meat any more palatable. This is by far the worst gyro I have ever had. The fries were good though.
I was debating whether or not to leave a review, as my friends recommended this place and I see so many positive reviews. This was probably a one-off occurrence, but the food was so bad that I just had to say something.

Chicken souvlaki, gyro and felafel sandwiches were delicious. Place clean and staff efficient. Primarily takeout, I'd say.

Delicious Greek food at solid prices. They have some unique Greek foods, like the Moussaka (layers of sautéed eggplant and ground beef topped with béchamel), that's hard to find nowadays. Stop by Wednesdays for their $6 Gyros and you have a winning combination.Only downside for me is their food is a bit salty, and their yogurt sauce is $1 extra. Otherwise this would be a 5 star restaurant for sure!
