Kalamaki Authentic Greek Street Food

I happened to be over near the Jonestown area and needed a quick bite to eat after getting my girlfriend some presents for her recent birthday. I wasn't in the mood for anything, saw this place pop up on Google, and decided to try it out.

Ironically, I used to work at this restaurant when it was Carmine’s (Fine Italian Dining), but that was many, many moons ago; nonetheless, they have most certainly changed the inside, as you can see. Before, it was a dark, poorly lit Italian place, and now it is bright and airy, with flowers hanging from the ceiling.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding at the register: I got a salad with no lettuce, which I did order but did not realize was a lettuce-free salad. That said, the dressing on the veggie salad I got was delicious, and so were the bits of feta on top. There was also a miscommunication: fries came on my sandwich, which I do not understand how they got there…
All this aside, it was a good dining experience, and the food was good, even if it was a little wrong.

If you decide to go, get the Greek doughnuts. I got the traditional with cinnamon, sugar, and honey. They were super tasty and I really enjoyed that sweet treat!

Delicious and authentic Greek food brought to you by friendly and knowledgeable staff. We dined in on a Saturday night. Our food was brought to us promptly and it was incredible. We had the beef/lamb gyro sandwich and platter plus a falafel sandwich and halloumi sticks with tomato JAM! Yum! All ingredients were fresh and delectable. Run don't walk...what a great addition to the neighborhood!

Love their kebabs when chicken is juicy vs dry ( at times). Tried the lamb meat version and tasted beautifully and was juicy. Only thing I wished was that they dont start to make the salad into shreds. The lettuce is starting to imitate shreds vs pieces. It is still my go to in the area since restaurant is clean, music is of Greek and the quality is very good.

Service was great. Unfortunately food not so much. Had the Gyro and meat was tough. The Greek donut ball was tough and rubbery like it had been microwaved.

Super fast service. The gyro was amazing, the green bean salad was yummy, and those DONUTS, oh my GOD. Bouncy, chewy, delightful. I don't have a picture of them because I devoured them in mere moments.

More people need to visit this restaurant! It's amazing!

Edit: went back to get donuts. Uploaded a picture.

EDIT EDIT: Whoever served us gave us extra donuts. I didn't count them initially, but when my kids came home from school and we divided them out, we had an extra serving each. Thank you guys so much. <3

I am so glad my son and I decided to stop in here- It’s so difficult to find authentic Greek food and you can certainly find it here! The customer service was just like it is in Greece- warm, kind and hospitable. The food is absolutely wonderful and the portion sizes are great! Don’t even get me started on the loukamades- THE BEST! I will certainly and definitely be returning :)

I really enjoy coming here. The Gyros are outstanding and you have to try the Greek donuts that are made fresh to order.

As a former line cook at an family authentic Lebanese restaurant, I always am looking for Greek, Lebanese & Mediterranean food spots near me. We found this spot through my family and we decided to go. Sandwiches are decently priced at about 9.00, but the Combos come out to 14.00 for a side and a drink. A little high, but if the food is worth it, that price isn’t bad. The food is honestly, not bad. I enjoy tzatziki and that is my first test whether a place is good or not. The tzatziki, is not bad. It’s on par with most places but not something I would actively go only here for. I ended up getting the Traditional Gyro with Steak & Lamb. They put French fries inside the sandwich, with tzatziki, and the meat(it comes with tomatoes & onions as well). The food was not bad overall. I enjoyed my meal and it was a nice dainty place. I would recommend coming here. Nothing blew me away and would get me coming back as a regular, but if I was in the area and looking for food, this would definitely be my choice. Thanks for a good meal.

The pork gyro had no flavor and was full of strips fat and grissle. The fries were just ok. I expected a flavorful meal with Greek spices. I didn't finish my meal because the meat was so bad. A wasted $15.00.

I don't know if they were having a really bad/off day or what (Saturday lunch, not crowded), but all four of us agreed that our dishes were mediocre, at best. I've been to many casual Greek restaurants on the east coast, and this may have been the least impressive. Our Greek salads (and dressing) were pretty tasteless and none of our 4 different entrees were anything to write home about. This place has good reviews so, like I said, maybe they were having an off day. But with so many Greek options in the Triad, we won't be going back. Friendly staff, particularly the owner/manager(?)
