I found this place because I really wanted Mediterranean food, it was very hard to find for me because the only lights outside or just this very dim green strip, I waited about 15 to 20 minutes (I recomend calling ahead) for my food which seemed like an eternity but it was so worth it, I order the number 10 with two beef skewers and gyro meat, then I add a salmon skewer and it is my favorite place to eat in Long Beach as far as Greek or Mediterranean food is concerned, well I guess this location is in Torrance, they always put plenty of the green sauce and yogurt sauce, and all the food you see in the pictures came to 20 bucks which is incredible!! , I highly recommend calling your order in and giving them at least 20 minutes to prepare the food , it is well worth the wait and seems like a healthy choice for dining out or on the go
If you're driving it's easy to miss this place, the building is a bit camouflaged, but they have parking next to the restaurant. Staff is super friendly, and of course the food is great! Love their potatoes (which they are known for). The chicken I had in my wrap was a little dry, and so was the wrap pita, but if you put a little green sauce on it, it's all fine! Lots of covered patio seating, from the outside it doesnt look that big, but actually this restaurant is pretty spacious. There are a lot of cool lights in the seating area, which I like! The setup is a little weird, because they added the patio/seating after, so you have to walk in to the very back first, to order from their "main" storefront. You can order for there, and they have reusable cutlery for non-takeout so you dont waste plastic :)
Small parking lot and all outdoor seating. Completely empty when we walked in. Probably waited 30 minutes for our food to arrive. Chicken was burnt. Pita bread was cold and tough as a shoe.
