I have been having the worst month of my life and this absolutely made it even worse. I was already 1500$ in debt, homeless, and now I also have to worry about paying for the towing of my car. I would understand towing my car if I was gone longer, but I only left my car there for at most 2 hours. when I parked there, they were 15 minutes from closing so them doing this was just so petty and unnecessary. shame on you, -a homeless person who lives out of their car

I'm also originally from Philly and this doesn't quite meet the halal food trucks of the northeast but it's probably as close as I can get here haha. Would definitely come back here again - I would say they have a ton of rice and definitely enough for two meals. Of note I drove around thinking it was the stores along the side but the restaurant is in the middle of the plaza.

I was really hoping to find an authentic Mediterranean restaurant. Unfortunately, the search…read morecontinues... First, we ordered the Kofta Kebob plate (beef and lamb). The so-called meat tasted like some type of bread similar to falafel. I didn't taste any beef or lamb. The rice had huge clumps in it, the so called garlic sauce had no garlic taste, the tabbouleh was full of stems and an over powering lemon taste, the salad was also not good and wilted. The only saving grace was the pita bread. The only nice thing I can say is the food had a nice presentation and the gentleman taking my order was very friendly. Hence, the 2nd star. But to be fair I have not tasted any of the other dishes so this review is solely based on what I ordered. Sadly, I won't return.

Drive thru is the only access to this restaurant halal!!

I went for lunch with a friend for a bday outing. Since it's cold, there's a black covering that makes it looks closed, but don't worry, they're open. The inside is clean and pretty much looks new. We were greeted by a hostess when we got in and promptly seated. We started our meal with the hummus and lentil soup. The hummus is the smoothest I've ever had and was paired with some warmed up pita. I'm usually not a big fan of lentils but the soup was good. The broth had a nice flavor. I got the half order of Shish Tawook for myself and my friend got the falafel wrap. The half is quite filling and still very delicious. The chicken was moist for the most part as in between the pieces they felt kinda overcooked but all in all very good and seasoned well. The vegetables were also seasoned well. Beirut is a great place to go out for a nice outing without going downtown!

The restaurant itself was brightly lit inside, so look for the OPEN sign and you'll know you're in the right place. Walking in, no one was visible. There were voices coming from behind the curtain to the kitchen area. The door did not have a bell, but threre was one on the counter next to the cash register. I rang (twice) before someone came out from a side room. The server was extremely pleasant and efficient. I ordered the mixed plate (chicken and gyro). They cut the gyro meat as it is ordered. The rest of the items are in trays on the serving line. The plate comes with rice, hummus, pita, and a small salad. I was asked what sauce I wanted and was allowed to try several. The Baraka and tzatziki sauces were both excellent. The chicken and gyro meat was tender, moist, and flavorful. The gyro especially was not dried out and was quite good. The salad was crisp and fresh. The hummus has a strong garlic flavor and easily stood up to all the other components of the meal. While the location may look a little sketchy, especially at night, the food provided is top notch and well worth the visit.

This was yet another solid eating experience at this fast food restaurant. I was glad to see that the service is still on point and the dining room is kept in very good shape such that it's better to eat in than take your order to go. Some of the best things in life are found when you're not looking. That's what happened when I first discovered this Grecian Gyros location - over 8 years ago. I'm glad it's still here. Not only that, painting up your business in the colors of the Greek flag is bound to have some marketing value ... it makes you want to drop in if driving along and you like Greek food. In fact, if transiting between Stone Mountain's unique outcropping and park and Atlanta through its east side, you could very easily be coming through here if not using 78 or wanting to shop or run some errands. I know that I plan to come back.
