Fresh & Tasty. Gyros were perfectly grilled. Potatoes were delicious. I find a lot of Mediterranean places don't put thought into the sides, but everything was good here. Props to the team. Will definitely become a regular.
First visit. Read so many good things about this place. I placed a simple kid's meal order for my senior citizen mom. And an extra skewer and dessert. 30 minutes later 9 finally get my order to go. I ask the girl ... does it always take 30 minutes for a to go order. She replied yeah she had to grab the baklava out of the freezer. Ugh. I don't even want to eat anything. Let's see what mom says about it.
Outstanding quality! I am going on a limb here saying that Mediterranean food is one of my least favorite foods. However, there is no room for negative feedback here. I ordered 8 different menu items for a doctor’s office and everything was at least 9/10. The flavor of the sauces were outstanding and we could just not get enough. The chicken was not at all dry and the beef was tender. Reasonable prices, hearty servings, flavorfully tender meats and great service- I give this restaurant my highest endorsement. Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did.
