I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is excellent…read more The Chef Raul is fantastic and all of the staff are so patient, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. The Mediterranean-type food is extremely tasty & beats the greasy type of fast foods, yet the price is similar. We mostly order the kabobs, Greek, Tabouli or Caprese salads. The Calamari is excellent. The soups are fantastic especially the French Onion and Lentil Soups. The desserts are SO good, as well. We usually do takeaway but it's a location that would be nice for dining in during spring, summer, fall. It's a little cold atmospherically in the winter...maybe some more plants or pictures but the staff makes this location always welcoming & warm!

We came here because the reviews (at the time of this post) on Google were 4.6 and 3.8 on Yelp…read more First thing to note is that the parking is in the back on the building. The place has a rustic Middle Eastern vibe but it's not kept well. The table we first got had food stains on the table cloth and a dirty fur coat on the wall. We decided to move to a different table. I saw food on other tables as well. The owner spent most of the time in the back talking to someone than waiting on us. We didn't get silverware until the main course and never got water. I went to the fridge in the front after our meal was done because we were tired of waiting and thirsty. The falafel is the best thing that we had. It was fresh but a bit oil. It had a nice crunch to it and the flavor profile was good. The sauce with it was average but good. The mixed grilled platter was underwhelming. The best meat was the lamb. There wasn't much flavor in the chicken and the other meat was too dry. I think the veggies were a bit too chard for my liking. The shawarma was not that great. It seamed as if it was chicken chunks and not the properly cooked. The flavor was not great either. There's nothing given as a side or sauce. There's bottles of ketchup on the tables but they looked not too appealing to use. Instead of napkins, you get Kleenex. While the food can be good. I would recommend ordering takeout from here. As a small business I wish nothing but the best and hope the owner cleans up the place more and improves the customer service.

First he welcomed us with free middle eastern coffee called karak. Its dark black coffee with cardamom. We ordered the lamb kabob platter , hammus and pita bread. The food is delicious, hearty ,freshly made and authentic. And then comes the generous part! He came out with generous amount of free fried chicken for my friend and for me with freshly made baba ganoush and warm fresh pita bread! Not just that, he also gave us soda for free! Such a kind man with great hospitality. Even if it wasnt for the free food, i would still rate this restaurant highest because of the delicious food and such a humble and kind owner who makes you feel at home. You must visit atleast once to experience it.

It's a small restaurant, like many of the other businesses. Upon walking in, I was greeted and seated immediately. The gentlemen brought my a glass of water and complimentary pita chips with a house made tzatziki sauce. I ordered the gyro plate which came with a side of your choice. I opted for the pilaf rice with tomato sauce, however there's a whole list to choose from! I think it was about $15 not including tip and it was such a fulfilling meal! Overall fantastic experience, decorative interior, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive staff!

Love there are so many gluten-free options to choose from. And the fact the meat sauce is all beef…read moreis perfect. You can Access from the subway system from Mayo. They bring out bread and you can request gluten-free instead of the regular bread. When they brought out the gluten-free buns they were HOT! Very good and fresh. They do give you a plate with fresh parmesan, olive oil, and balsamic mix. I choose the butter as it melted so great. My partner got the gluten-free cheese ravioli with meat sauce which he REALLY liked. I got the stuff gluten-free shells with meat sauce. The meat sauce was FABULOUS but the stuff shells were ok. The ricotta inside wasn't a smooth soft ricotta. It was baked and stuck together which isn't my thing. But I love it was GF. And next time I would for sure get that meat sauce on something, not sure what, but cannot wait to try. Tip when you order tell them you want the gluten free, don't assume it just is.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. My only disappointment was the portion of protein for the price. For a $23.99 meal, I expected a lot more chicken. The veggies definitely outnumbered the small pieces of chicken, which made it feel a little unbalanced and not quite worth the cost. If they increased the protein portion, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

I've been coming here for years, but lately it just hasn't the same…read more The food is still good, but not at the level it used to be. I have pretty high standards for Greek/Mediterranean food, and it just doesn't stand out anymore. The pita has been dry, although the hummus is still solid. The platters are fine overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Service has also been a bit underwhelming recently compared to past visits. That said, the atmosphere is still a highlight. The space feels very authentic with all the decor, and the belly dancers are always a fun touch. The patio is also nice if you're able to sit outside. Parking can be a little tight in their lot, but there's a ramp nearby which makes it easier.
