Finally checking out this place for lunch
George B.

I have always heard about this local gem, and finally had sometime to check it out. I got the spicy chicken panini with a side of French fries. The chicken panini was very flavorful and tasty. The sandwich was the perfect size for lunch. The French fries on the side were awesome definitely had a crispy crunch to them. Overall the sandwich and fries combo was tasty. I was really impressed. The only thing that I would have changed about the sandwich is the cheese. But the service was fast and the folks were pretty nice. The restaurant outside was pretty clean and the inside was clean as well. I definitely would love to come back and try the breakfast menu!

Chicken gyro

Came here for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and helpful. I got chicken gyro and added feta and banana peppers, with fries. It was very good, only criticism is the chicken was a little dry. Would return

Menu

Nice little joint to get a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch. Note the current hours are Mon-Fri from 7:30am-2:30pm. We went for lunch. They have a decent selection of sandwiches and salads with a heavy focus on gyros. I got a chicken gyro with fries. The food came out quickly and the sandwich was warm. It was pretty good, but the chicken was a tad bit overcooked. I enjoyed the flavor of the tzatziki sauce. The inside has 8 tables ranging from 2 tops to 6 tops. They have a small patio area right outside, and more tables on the sidewalk area. Overall, definitely a hidden gem to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch during the week.

Chicken Panini, Albanian Panini
Jessica E.

DELICIOUS! This place is so up my alley- amazing food, great prices, cozy atmosphere, locally owned. We got the Albanian panini and the Chicken panini. Both were absolutely amazing. I plan to come back for the chicken panini many times (it has peppers and this super good house made sauce) The Baklava was good but I'd skip it next time.

Ham Omelet with toast and hash-browns
Terrence M.

Well hellooo there!! Order: Ham Omelet with toast and hashbrowns. Pros: great mom and pop location!!!! The food was amazing!!! I also love that they dont over season their food with salt, which allows the individual to do it on their own. Though low in salt it was very very flavorful. Two people brought out the food, greeted, and asked if we needed anything else. They also picked up the plates after we left. The omelet was thin and not the folded type. So easy to eat. Cons: non

Albanian Panini
Gregory F.

Went here on a whim after seeing a post about it on the Downtown Columbus instagram - it was definitely worth the trip! Endless options - my meal was the Albanian Panini, so think a gyro turned sandwich. It was good - gyro meat topped with some veggies and a sauce of some sort! A bit thin for my liking but still tasty. Fries that came with were like those crinkle cut ones you get at a carnival - dipped them in boatloads of ranch. Honestly really filling - but a tad expensive IMO, spent $14+ on the sandwich alone. My friend got a drink too - lots of creative coffee options which is nice! When we walked in, we were the only ones there but in a matter of minutes the whole place was full for lunch rush. Not enough seating to accommodate the crowd, so we ate quickly to let people take our table since they were basically watching us wrap up. Had to basically leave the restaurant since there wasn't really anywhere to loiter. Service was quick - maybe 10 minutes from order to eating? Parking was a tad difficult - street options only. Anyways - an overall pleasant experience! Definitely a hidden gem.

Veggie omlette
Tim L.

Good little breakfast lunch restuarant slightly underground, cash is the most common currency in this place how ever i do believe they may take credit cards, regardless i had a simple egg n cheese omlette and it was delicious, the coffee was not good, but i still drank it, everything is still served covid safe, plastic utensils wrapped plastic from china, styrofoam cups...a clean but dirty kind of place, absolutely loved it...cheap, simple and satisfying!!!

I've been coming here for some months now but today's the first day i've gotten to try their breakfast. i usually get the cajun chicken gyro add banana peppers or the chicken ranch wrap. Those two lunch options never leave me unsatisfied. All the ingredients taste fresh and i love the small business vibe of this place. Today i tried the bacon omelette with a side of home fries and let me tell you. i'm going to be waking up earlier from now on. The service is always quick and friendly.

Do you see any Gyro meet? Me neither! Salad is loaded with Feta....meat is extinct!!! This for $8.95

See all
