It's hard to forget the restaurant next door to the amazing Prince mural, especially when you experience a fantastic meal. It's an interesting setup where you order at the counter and get a number for the table and they bring the food to you, even though you get the feel like it's a waitress type of restaurant. It still felt comfortable. I got to share the meal with my family enabling me to try all the things I wanted. We got the lentil soup, the 3 appetizer plate where I chose hummus, grape leaves, and baba ganoush to start. I also ordered the 2 person feast that included the steak shish kabob, gyro, and chicken shwarma, rice, and salad. We also got the spicy chicken wrap and the falafel wrap. It also came with tahini, taziki, and hot sauce. Everything was delicious! Of course, I then decided I needed to end the meal with dessert choosing the Turkish Baklava which was on point. The service was good, and the prices were reasonable. I would totally come back here.

If you get the wraps they may or may not be made to order as 3 of six in the past 6 months the tortilla is like glass with the "fresh" ingredients in the folds. If that was the case I paid $15 for a delicious but very inconsistent wrap/burrito I'd still recommend.

I've loved everything I've tried. Lunch specials, Chicken platter, gyro, feta dip, hummus, pita, Turkish coffee and baklava....all delicious. Amazing service and atmosphere. Highly recommend. Recently got the feast and everyone enjoyed it and was full with leftovers. You can definitely feed more than 4 with it.
Yes yes yes! If you are looking for a great Mediterranean spot, this is jt. It is casual inside but has touches of fun Turkish culture. Service is friendly and quick. I got the gyro bowl and my partner got the gyro plate. Wow do you get plenty of food and I am not complaining! It is so flavorful and savory, and makes great leftovers the next day too. You also have to get the fries- there's a reason they were named best in the twin cities in 2023. Highly recommend!
Dang..I love Mediterranean food and I really wanted to love this place. My falafels tasted a bit too bland and they were gritty, like sand was in them or something. The Greek Salad had dressing that seemed to be just oil...not at all my bag. I know it's Minnesota winter but the cucumbers and tomatoes were utterly tasteless. The Turkish coffee delicious but it was only two small sips then mud. Another diner at my table had same issue. We asked if we could have some hot water just to mix it up ourselves and try to get an actual shot of it, they said they'd make us new ones and never did. Oh well. Maybe we caught them on an off day. The staff were very nice.

Looking for a go to Greek/gyro place in the SW Metro? THIS IS YOUR NEW FAVORITE! Its tucked away amidst a ton of restaurants in Chanhassen, but well worth exploring to find it. I've created a list of Greek places to try throughout the Twin Cities and this place came highly recommended. Surprise surprise - it has a PERFECT rating on Yelp. So... Twist my arm! I got the gyro lunch special (with fries) and on a tip asked for them to make it "spicy". The service was great and the space was really big (could get a big group of people together). They brought my gyro out really quickly and right away I could tell I was in for a treat. It just looked good. You know how you can tell sometimes that you are going to enjoy eating something? Well, I could. Lets start with the sandwich. It was killer. So good! The meat was super tender and the other toppings complimented it perfectly (onion/tomato). I will say I went ahead with the banana peppers, which I'm not used to, and I did end up picking them off. Not bad - just not for me. The real home run here was the sauce. The tzatziki was delicious. Absolutely brilliant. The "spice" was some red saucy addition to the tzatziki that added a little flavor, but not much in the way of heat. All in all, this is one of the best gyros I have ever had. One more thing to add - the fries. YUM! They were perfectly crispy and the dipping sauce that accompanied them is fantastic. Don't get a meal here without them!
