$34.20 for 2 gyros and 6 grape leaves. Way over priced. The gyros were great but the grape leaves tasted like they were drenched in salt. I’m thinking it was a bad batch but their price just doesn’t make it worth me going there again. Disappointing will not be going back.

Gyro was large but the meat was kind of flavorless. Tzatziki sauce on it was very good. Fries were overcooked, soggy, loaded with grease, and completely unsalted.

Jessi P.

Delicious gyro - fresh ingredients, generous portions, succulent meat. Fries were also tasty. Great for take out, or dine in. 10/10 and already planning our next visit! Vegetarian options: They had a veggie falafel option for any meat dish, and all the veggies in the gyros were fresh and delicious.
