“What a lovely little gem on Kings in old town Alexandria. The staff was super friendly and welcoming right when we walked in. The menu had a ton of enticing options. Food came out quickly, was super fresh, and all three of us loved our meals. Got the Gyro myself. The meat was flavorful and the pita was perfect. The girls got breakfast pitas and loved them. Got the snack pack with the jalapeno humus too and it has the perfect kick. A really refreshing and authentic place to get away from all the American and Italian restaurants that line King.“
