“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.“

The grilled chicken and the mixed grill are fantastic, annd it's paired with a simple, delicious salad, and delicious rice pilaf. The Tres Leches was to die for. The service was excellent, and although it wasn't cheap, it was definitely worth it. Cant wait to go back a fourth time!“

We had visited many great places but I loved the Gyro King food. The Araby salad is so good in taste and all the other dishes I tried is also so yummy and delicious. Keep up the good work guys and don't let up on the consistency!“

“Vegetarian options: My search for 'Kunefe' that would taste authentic just like the one I had in Türkiye years ago has finally concluded; it was so good that I am forced to put out this statement - "This is the best Kunefe I have even had in the US of A!" For main course I had vegetable casserole.“

“Great food and great people. Highly recommend them!“

“The restaurant was very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. My only comment is about the Turkish coffee and tea — I was expecting a more authentic preparation rather than something closer to espresso, especially since we came for the experience. That said, overall, the food was excellent, and we really enjoyed our visit“

“Went here for a cheaper food option after finding out I had to stay later at work than expected. ordered the combo plate which was falfel, rice, a pita, hummus, and baba ghanoush. The hummus was a little salty but aside from that the food was very good. The hummus was clearly fresh and home made with hints of lemon. Similarly, the baba ghanoush was pleasant with a nice smoke to it. For 11 dollars you cannot complain

Vegetarian options: A large section of the menu is plant based, focusing on falafel and Mediterranean spreads. It is also likely one would be able to sub out meat in dishes for falafel“

“So me and my wife never had halal food. We ordered the hot spot platter and we were Blown away they serve you a generous amount of food which is worth the money. They also have sides you can choose to add on like jalapeños and and pickles etc. Everything is fresh like if it was just cut and pickled right then and there I couldn't believe that a small jalapeños piece had so much flavor to it. Definitely will be going back if I could give more than 5 stars I would“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.“
