Wow, I’m kinda embarrassed to even write this review because of how petty it sounds but I’m just kinda shocked. I called and placed a to go order at 1:17. I was told it be ready in about 15 mins. I showed up around 1:45. Upon arriving it took a little bit for someone to come to the window, no big deal. He tells me he’s waiting on the sweet tea I ordered because they had to make a fresh batch and he still has to strain it. No problem. I finally get my food around 2. But I had a feeling to try the tea first because he mentioned he had to add a ton of ice which is understandable if it was warm, when he handed it to me there was no ice. But also I wanted to make sure it was sweet tea instead of unsweet. Sure enough it was unsweet. So I had to stay at the window and hoping someone would come back so I could ask them to get the correct one. Because usually their sweet tea is amazing! Well when he comes back he’s like “no, that’s sweet tea!” I said it just doesn’t taste like it usually does. He told me that maybe it’s like that because he had to add a lot of ice. Keep in mind within seconds of him handing me the “full of ice” that he claims, there was no ice. So I asked can I just get a soda instead and give him back the tea. He said no, he said even if he would do that he would have to ask his manager permission but he couldn’t do right now because he’s busy with other customers. Am I not a paying customer? Not only that but before that happened I ordered no tomatoes on my salad and still got tomatoes (I didn’t find out until after I left). I asked for utensils and didn’t get those. I asked if he could make sure the Taziki is in the bag and I asked for ketchup and the red sauce. He said that to do that I had to pay for it but goes to say one of my meals has it already. (I wasn’t asking for extra). I’ve gone here a couple times and usually the staff is very polite and helpful. I don’t remember ever paying for the spicy sauce for the meals I get. This person was beyond rude on so many levels. The facts I couldn’t trade out a drink for a equal value due to it being made incorrectly is crazy. This was nearly $35 for 1 platter meal of chicken, unsweet tea, and cauliflower. That’s insanely expensive for what you’re getting.

Not sure how to reply back, I went to upload my dash cam video that got the conversation but unfortunately it doesn’t give me the option to post videos but yes I did offer to leave only after I had been waiting a while, after he was laughing and repeating what I said, after he said numerous times he had other customers, and after he said I would have to wait even longer for a manager for me to hand him the tea in exchange for a Coke. So after all that I did “it’s okay, I can just leave because I didn’t know it be that big of a deal” he said have a good day and I said you to. Everything was fine until he started repeating me as if it was in a mocking manner and laughing. Saying it was as fresh as it gets, I wasn’t questioning the freshness. I simply just wanted to swap it out. Like I mentioned before, the staff has always been professional and kind prior. I wouldn’t have made a complaint but after all the things that added up with this particular situation is why I was a bit frustrated.

Been wanting Gyros for a while. This is the place to go locally. It was phenomenal and the staff was super friendly. Will definitely come back soon

This is my second time having Greek cuisine. I discovered that this meal was not what I had anticipated. The red sauce on the moussaka was different from the white sauce. Overall, the meal was satisfactory.

My absolute favorite restaurant in this area!!! The food is so delicious and fresh. I’m addicted to their salad. So addicted, I bought the seasoning to try and make at home. The employees are so nice and friendly. I would go every day to eat here if I could!! I have ate here probably 20x since we moved to the area. My entire family loves the food here.

Best baklava I’ve ever had!

We were in a rush to go back 2.5 hrs home and by 3pm I had had no lunch at a seminar i was attending and thankfully this was the first place we saw, I ordered the salmon platter to go and how delicious. In fact my husband said if he wasn't due to a meeting back home he would have liked to stay to try other things on the menu, and when I opened to platter in the car he was amazed how delicious it smelled but I had news for him, it tasted even better! Can't wait to try eating here again!

Sadly when we went here for the first time, it was HOT and their front door was broken. So it was wide open. This also allowed every fly in a 60 mile radius to come visit the restaurant. Nothing like having flies all over your food to make it 100% unappetizing. Gross.
