“To me, this restaurant is a hidden gem. I did have a challenge finding it. But once I found it, had a handcrafted cocktail and the pork chop special, I knew it was the place for me. Everyone was very nice. I did not have a reservation so I sat at the bar. To some it might be strange to have a pork chop at a restaurant, but it was delicious and awesome. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The whole experience was great. I will be going back.“

“Stopped by here on the way home from URMC. I ordered the gyro pita for takeoutIt was very tasty and more authentic than other restaurants that serve Mediterranean food. i recommend asking for the tzastiki sauce on the side since pita sandwich was a little messy.I got my order in less than 10 minutes and the price was reasonable. They have an extensive menu of Mediterranean and Syrian cuisine. Parking lot is small but food is worth it. Counter service and food is brought to your table if you are dining in. I will return.“

“We "ate in" at this small but bustling restaurant. it appears that many of the orders were to-go. The food was freshly prepared and quickly delivered To our table, the three men behind the counter were extremely busy, preparing food and taking orders. My husband had the vegetarian platter and I had the dolma platter both served with huge fluffy pita bread. The pita bread is one of the best I've had. my Dolma platter, came with a small Greek salad, and a little scoop of hummus. The dolma were very good as they were spiced. There was a drink case, but not much of a variety of drinks. However, they did have some exotic ones. There was also baklava and takeout containers. I think they should use reusable tableware when you're dining in instead of a packet of small plastic utensils, so I think they are really a to go operation. The food was served on dinner plates so they must have a way of washing things. This is a good stop for a quick meal or a takeout.“

Service is super fast, food fresh, feels straight out of the grill. We tried the kebab’s meal beef, chicken and lamb. And gotta say hands down the best lamb experience I ever had before, beef in point very tender, chicken had great flavor. Meal is very fulfilling and tasty. 10/10 for sure will make it one of my favorite spots in town.“
