As a Greek, I really want to like this place. Unfortunately the only consistency with this spot is that it's inconsistent. Got the gyro platter last week and it was awesome. Got the extra meat with fries, but don't recall if it came with rice (platter comes with 2 sides, per the website menu). Was craving it last night and got the same thing, minus the extra meat. Man, was it disappointing. Definitely did not get the rice this time, barely got any lettuce (literally a sprinkle), tomatoes and onion. The food itself is pretty good, they just gotta get their portions together. For $16+ I'd say its not worth it.
Amazing gyros—thinly sliced, flavorful beef-lamb heaped in a pita with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, onion and tomato. We wanted a bit more sauce and were given more.
The baklava was flakey, gooey with a honey syrup, walnutty and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Both were very generous. Service was quick. The place is cozy with three well-kept tables.

Was craving some Greek food, and since this was close by, I had to give this place a try.
The Food: I had the gyro platter, and it was delicious! The meat was cooked nice and tender, the fries were crispy. Everything paired very well together and was seasoned well. The portions were generous too.
The Service: I ordered takeout for this time, and was greeted immediately when I walked in. Food was made on time, and I came slightly early too.
The Atmosphere: Not that much seating inside, but that's alright. It looks like this place caters mostly to the take-out crowd. But it was nice and well kept inside.
Overall, a 4/5. Food was great and the staff were extremely friendly and kind. I'll be coming back for sure.

So whatever you do avoid this place unless you like to be very disappointed. Also the person who takes your order on the phone for lack of better words sucks at customer service and would not surprise me if he simply forgot to add the spices. The chicken shawarma I got tonight I would not give to a sick dog. Unbelievable, how does this place have a few stars? The chicken needs flavor or spices and I think it was just the most bland tasting overpriced meal I have ever had in this area. The place smelled like it had potential and boy I was wrong. I almost feel like disputing my credit card charge because they pulled a bait and switch from the description on the menu said about the chicken. Ewwww so gross and a waist of my hard earned money.

Nowhere close to Shawarma. Boiled shredded chicken with no flavor. Very unhygienic environment . I'm pretty sure most of the reviews are part of promotion.

The chicken was dry with no spices. The sauce probably had no salt. The French fries were not good at all. The chicken wing were the one thing with some acceptable taste to it

I wanted to spend hours of my evenings and weekends here, spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars- but the lack of Google 360 Street View makes me want to take my business elsewhere in the future. Great food, however!!

A little hole in the wall Greek place. We tried this place due to good the good reviews and being in the area for an appointment. The food was fresh hot and delicious. We live in pentagon city and we would drive the 40 min to here again to eat it was that good.
