Food comes out very quickly and always tastes amazing. This is the first place I recommend to anyone visiting the area. I'm a big fan of their hummus and falafel for a little appetizer. The Greek salad is standard and good enough that I forget to take a picture.... This time I tried the chicken sun dried tomato meal which came with naan and rice. The rice has little flavor, which I enjoy compared to some places that add a lot of cinnamon or other sweet spices. The chicken and tomato's are well sautéed and come out steaming. The naan is cooked perfectly, not crispy yet not too doughy. There just enough sauce on the plate for you to finish the meal! I have yet to try any of their desserts but they're in a display case when you walk in and look so tasty.

The salad, pita and hummus, came with the plate and everything was delicious. I tried the Kefta kabob plate with mixed meats.

Our server checked on us frequently, filling our water each time. I also liked that it wasn't allowed environment, just some low conversation and some pleasant background music.

Basha Bash: ​I really wanted to love this spot. Based on the…read morestellar reviews, I was excited for a hidden Greek gem in the heart of OP, but unfortunately, our experience was far from an "Opa!" moment. ​The Service I arrived first and the place was nearly empty, yet the energy felt frantic. The server/ hostess was very rushed and business-like but seemed overwhelmed, running around like a chicken with her head cut off. After declining a black tea multiple times (once they realized they were out of chai), We had to practically stop her in mid-step for every follow-up once the rest of my party arrived. She never stopped on her own to ask us if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our meal. ​The Food The meal was a series of "weird" choices: ​The Hummus Situation: Our entrees were supposed to come with hummus, Rice and a side salad. Instead of serving The hummus with the entree, it was plopped onto the side salad plate before the entree arrived. I've eaten a lot of Mediterranean food, and I've never seen it served that way. ​The Garlic Sauce: This was a huge letdown. It looked and tasted like straight mayonnaise with a hint of garlic powder--not the authentic, pungent toum or A fresh bright white garlic sauce you'd expect. The tzatziki sauce might have been the best thing on the plate as it tasted fresh and authentic. The Meat: This was a Jekyll and Hyde as some of the meat was tender but some was overcooked and it was like that for everybody's meal whether they got beef, lamb or chicken. ​The Rice: Every entree was served over saffron rice that was dry, almost like it had been sitting out sunbathing for the day. ​The Falafel: Good crunch, but the inside was on the dry side. ​The Vibe As someone with a background in the industry, one thing really stood out: while our server was struggling to keep up with the only two tables in the restaurant, a cook with an apron was sitting in the lobby looking bored and disinterested. It's never a good look for staff to be lounging in front of customers regardless of how busy the restaurant is. ​Final Verdict Maybe it was just an off night, but for the price point, it doesn't compete. When you compare the quality and value to places like Meddys, Darna, or Mr. Gyros, this was extremely subpar. Sadly, I won't be rushing back.

Try the jalapeño sumac. It's not too hot but it's a nice step up from say spinach dip. I will be back soon to try the kebab and falafel.
