This place used to be really good but progressively got worse and worse. We just ordered 2 orders of meatballs, and 2 chicken appetizers… the food was drenched in oil, it was just disgusting. Posted is a photo of one of the bags. What a waste as we used to like the food a lot. What a

Not sure if this place is under new management, but they fell way off. My last visit was yesterday and it will be my last visit. Sloppy version of a gyro with missing ingredients. Food was edible at best.

We used to like it here, but the quality of the food has gone off a cliff in the last year, and they've significantly raised their prices at the same time. The salmon looks like what you'll find in the freezer at Stop and Shop, and our recent order of Greek Fries was half raw. My falafel also contained a hard, sandy substance that felt like gravel. I don't know if they switched suppliers, or hired new kitchen staff, but we're done here. It's a shame!

This is a bowl (large soup) which costs 8 bucks. So what is the small? Total rip off.

The lemon in the potatoes was delicious. The lemon service experience was not. Dined here with my young child on October 4th at about 1pm. The food was good and I've been here several times and the food has been good each time so if you don't care about the service and only care about the food you're good to go and don't need to read further.If you do however care about service you may be in for a rude awakening. They have a sign posted that they pass on credit card charges to their customers (an unfortunate practice favored by many long island restaurants....what's next, charging me for your utility bills?) but that wasn't my issue. I pay in cash when I can to avoid this practice and tried to do so today. I only had a $100 bill (which is a rarity for me) and the girl at the register told me she.could not break the bill. I completely understood and wouldn't hold this against anyone. I produced my credit card and she told me there was nothing she could do about the service charge. I pointed out that she was forcing me to pay with a credit card and that I had offered her cash. She repeated to me she could not break the bill. Again, I said that was fine but the fact that they had no small change was their issue not mine. After a huff, a pout and a death stare she told me she would "waive" the service charge.She then proceeded to drop our lunch plates heavily in front of us and served up enough stink eye to fill a pint glass. I'm sitting with my 6 year old. Please grow up miss.I understand I may be petty in not wanting to subsidize their business costs (you accept credit cards because it brings you more business!) but it's not my issue that you can't break a bill. Treat people with respect. I really don't want my support for your restaurant to come with a side of stink eye. Not sure if I'll be back but if I see this girl at the front again I'll eat elsewhere.

Three stars for effort. I really want to like this place in a five star way but it is terribly inconsistent. Sometimes the food is on the money and sometimes it's a sloppy greasy mess. I hope they get it together.

I decided to try this place because of the glowing reviews, ordered take out and wound up getting food poisoning. Not happy to say the least.

I hate going here because I always get arm hairs in my food.

Something is always off here. The price online is different from the price you are charged. That's an FTC violation right there. Sometimes they can not customize what you want because the food is premade. Sometimes you have to wait much longer than they estimated. Sometimes you get inexperience people who play or text on their phone when you are in front of them. Sometimes they mess up the order a little or a lot. There is always something off here for how much they charge you.The food is really good though. That's why it's 2 stars, not a 1 star review.
