This place is an absolute joke. They called this burrito they make a supposed gyro. I've had better food from taco bell.

The best Mediterranean food in Columbia. Falafels are the best I have had anywhere. The hummus is super smooth and flavorful. Owners are really genuine and nice.

If there is a more welcoming place that serves food, a cafe, in this case. Smallish, I say, is the dining area due to the food they sell as well as prepared. A majority of niche restaurant serve fresh, high quality, well made food in my not humble at all opinion. This place is a good place to use as a setting, just like the central perk in the sitcom, friends. Ya gotta come to this place and look around. The pictures tell those 1000 words

The food was so delicious! It was some of the most authentic Mediterranean food I have ever had. The owner and the staff there are very friendly and nice. We had a great time talking with them about traveling to their country and their heritage. There's a buffet sometimes, otherwise there's a menu to order from. You can sit down to eat or order for take out.

The buffet had a variety of tasty foods, but wasn't refilled while we were there and they did not have pita even though several of the offered dishes are normally served with pita.

The food is lovely and homey. Delicious buffet is a bargain, but get there early. And the end of buffet time, the bar is not stocked and food is cold. Everything ordered from the kitchen is fabulous.

My friend (and former colleague) and I meet here for lunch about once a month. I have never left hungry or disappointed. I could write a book about their bread sticks alone Soups, especially the minestroni, are excellent. Pasta offerings are solid. I just wish their salads contained more greens than just iceberg lettuce. Top to bottom, just good food solidly prepared. Service good, never had a bad experience here either.

Great Gyro salads!!!! Very authentic middle east food. Very friendly owners and staff.

Fantastic service, friendly conversation if you want it and, of course, great food. Get a falafel sandwich and some fries or a salad and you’ve got a cheap, delicious lunch.

Love the people who own the place. So down to earth and good. Cook up some tasty dishes that are a nice change from my normal diet.

We went for the buffet. The meats were dry. The staff was friendly. I wish I had asked for more pita bread early on so I could enjoy my meal and make a pita sandwich.

Welcoming staff, they were really nice. We went for lunch and they offer an extremely inexpensive buffet all you can eat for $8.95 a person.

I did look to overall review for this place, I decided to try it. The food was disgusting ! Also they sell expired products, expired in 2017!

Good food and staff. Problem is, the place is dirty, I don't have means to quantify the dirty, but the level of cleanliness is more on par with a subway bathroom, not a restaurant.

Walked in today for lunch. My first time. I' m going to make a list, the whole experience was so poor. 1-not properly seated 2-wasn't asked anything. 3-wondered around and found their buffet myself. 4-never asked if I wanted a menu. 5-tables and cash desk dirty. 6- corn out a can and cold. Rice cold. 7-no salad greens left—-I ASKED if there were any left, yes. I went to buffet twice no greens, asked a SECOND time finally after my meal was half done. 8- the only thing on the buffet that was tasty was the lamb. 9- no one came back to my table to check. 10– THE WORST, FOUR MEN WERE YAPPING IT UP THE WHOLE TIME. The store had less five tables occupied, only two girls came in after I did and it was someone I knew. Their first time too, I wanted to warn them. Their mom is a chef and I come from a restaurant background. Service bad, food bad. I will not be back.
