I came in with my wife today to try something new and WOW, best greek food i’ve had in the dmv area for sure. Their gyros are like no other, very authentic and fresh taste to them. Service was amazing too, I was greeted the moment I walked in. I had a billion questions and Anderson answered all of them, very professional and nice young man. Can’t wait to be back for that gyros special. Great environment, great staff, great food!

I had an absolutely amazing experience today. From the moment we walked in, Anderson made us feel so welcomed with his friendly and positive energy. He was attentive, personable, and truly made the experience special. The food was incredible I was genuinely happy with every bite. The flavors were so good my taste buds didn’t know what to focus on! Everything came together perfectly, and I left extremely satisfied and smiling.

The only issue that I have with this place is one of the managers who is really mean. He is the bald middle aged man who occasionally comes in. He has a lot of negative energy about him and is always in a bad mood. It seems like he washed out of life and is miserable because of it. I have seen him yelling at staff and people over the phone on several occasions. Just an unpleasant person in general. It would be best if he did not come around.
