Food was fresh and delicious, they have a variety of options including kids meals. Super friendly comfortable environment. As... many have posted before, staff is not very charismatic and typically have a straight face- but could be a cultural thing.Seating also available outside and for kids as well. Read more
Went to try out this restaurant because it was recommended because we enjoyed a similar restaurant. For my father's day lunch,... I chose this place because I was curious and wanted a gyro. First and foremost, the entire staff is super friendly and you cantell everyone was busting their respective butts making sure everyone was attended to. I ordered the gyro platter and my wifeordered the lamb kabob platter. For appetizers I had the small plate of grape leaves and my wife the small plate of mushrooms.Everything came fresh and well seasoned. The Naan was also great. We enjoyed everything. Even the rice was very well done andtasty. For dessert. Oh my. Of course we had to try out the baklava. There was another dessert that we tried which was thesweet cheese and shredded dough served warm. It was a tasty treat that was pretty new to me and I really enjoyed that as well. To put it plainly, this restaurant has the taste of a home cooked meal, which is great. Everything tasted like you were eatingat a friend's house where mom and/grandmother were cooking up a storm and you happened to stop by to reap the rewards. Read more
Ok, The presentation is beautiful, I will give it that. The food was??.. mediocre. The google ratings stated it was better than... most. I highly beg to differ. The serving size to price ratio is WAY off. This plate that was supposed to come with 3 fullkabobs of the meat you see there, really only came with 3 pieces of chicken and lamb and one piece of beef. This plate was$25.00. The small plate of hummus as an appetizer was $6.99 and didn?t come out until our main plate did. The olives were nottraditional and were gross. I?ve had better at an equal or lesser price point with way more satisfying serving size. This onepicture cost $54 with tip. I know I may sound harsh in this review but I was actually left disappointed. Read more
Stopped by on a Sunday for a takeout order. It was around lunchtime and it was only about 1/4 full. For takeout orders, you... order at the register and grab a seat to wait. Ordered a family platter mix with beef, chicken, and lamb. For the sides,ordered grilled vegetables, baba ghannoug, mushrooms, labneh, tabouleh salad, rice, cucumber dill yogurt, and mahmara. Personat the register was helpful in helping some sides as I wanted a variety of everything. They offered a drink while I waited eventhough I didn't order one. It's an open kitchen, so you're able to watch your food being prepared. Since it wasn't crowded, myorder was ready in about 10 minutes. Order was packed nicely and I trusted it was correct. Was home in about 10 minutes andfood was still hot and neatly packed. There was a generous amount of meat packed in the platter and also included some grilledvegetables. All the meats were very juicy and tender. It was the same vegetables in the side order, but I needed the extraorder. All the sides were filled to the top and tasted great. Of the sides, my favorites were probably the mixed vegetablesand the baba ghannoug. There were way more pita bread than I needed. Luckily I remembered on a previous visit not to order anyextra pita bread. Overall, good Mediterranean restaurant. Good food and service. Read more
We got there early enough to have no problem getting seated. The guy who sat us seemed rushed and didn't seem to have "customer... service" skills. Didn't seem to want to communicate well. After being seated for a few min, another guy asked what we wanted todrink, got us the drinks and then asked for our order, we wernt sure what to get, so we asked for a suggestion, and he mentionedthe meal for 2. Which was like $44.99 (or something like that) you get 3 appetizers, 3 kabobs. I always thought kabobs came onsquewers but this came on a plate with veggies and a side of rice. The portions of the appetizers ( Tajiki (spelling?) sauce,humas, and cucumber type of salad were a pretty good size, but the main plate for "2" seemed to be more for 1 person. Theflavors were good! The bread was really good! And our server was great at getting us more! They did start to get super busy,and it looked like they only had 3 servers but a full house of guests, and that is understandable, so we were patient. But itwas a little weird how most of the servers didn't really have that customer interaction/ friendliness, and it felt like It wasall business no customer service... example, come in, sit down, eat, leave lol. No time to sit and enjoy lol. After our meal weflagged down our server to place an order for baklava, but he got called over by the larger group, so we waited patiently. Soanother server basically came and asked if we want our check lol. So we told him we placed an order for 2 baklava and he grabbedit, and handed us our check and 2 "togo" baklava (even though we really wanted to eat it there and enjoy our "date night". itwas a little weird... It felt like he obviously wanted us to pay and take out the baklava and leave. Overall, food and flavorwere good! But I think we will order individual meals and try other dishes next time. Everything being brought out to the othertables looked really good! So I'm definitely interested in coming back to try more things! It Read more
The first time we visited, we sat outdoors and I think it was an off night for the restaurant. 3 weeks ago, we thought to give... it another shot and I ordered the mezza platter for pick up. It was much better experience and I think my Dad enjoyed trying thedifferent appetizers. Today, we ordered the mezza platter with hummus, baba ganoush, cucumber and yogurt and dolma. We alsoordered the gyro platter. The meat was slightly too salty and the Greek salad seems a little wilted. Read more
