I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect. Between 12 and 1 this place was absolutely jamming, with barely a seat to spare, which should tell you something. Not to mention I heard the staff greet many people by name. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing my partner. She loves Greek food and this place deserves a proper visit.

Portions are big so bring your appetite or be prepared to have leftovers for the next day!

I'd recommend giving yourself a little extra time during busy hours. Our server was wonderful. She offered thoughtful recommendations, was attentive throughout the meal, and even wrapped up our leftovers for us. Everything we ordered was delicious and served in generous portions. If you're a fan of beef tartare, I highly recommend the Kibbee Nayye. It's beautifully prepared and served with olive oil, raw onion, fresh mint, and pita. The Family Platter #2 is also a fantastic option if you want to sample a bit of everything. Our favorites were the baba ghannouj, layered kibbee, and the super refreshing tabouli. We ended the meal with the Katayef Ashta, a pancake filled with sweet cream that reminded me of ricotta, and it was the perfect finish. We can't wait to come back!

I ordered their chicken shawarma meal plate, which comes with chicken, rice pilaf, a side salad, hummus, and a pita. The chicken is topped with a hefty amount of their garlic cream sauce, which is absolutely fantastic. The only real area of improvement I think I could recommend here would be the service. The staff wasn't overly friendly or inviting, didn't show any warm welcome to guests, and seemed a bit irritated at the counter. Other than that, the experience was good and the food was worth the trip.

The menu is huge, which is good in that there is something for everyone, but it is also very overwhelming. We were hoping they would have a physical menu in store, but they handed us an iPad to look through the menu. Luckily it is divided by meat and non-meat dishes, rice, bread, etc., which makes it a little easier to browse. We ordered one of the goat curries, samosas, and garlic naan. The goat came in a 6 inch plastic container and though it looked small, it brings a lot of food - enough for 2. The goat was very tender, with lots of flavor, and not too spicy (you can request your preferred spice level). The samosa order came with 3 and they were good - crispy on the owtside and packed with soft filling on the inside. The naan was also good. I believe it was around $35-$40 for the order, which after considering portion size and quality, we found it to be fair. The inside is very spacious with lots of booths. There are lots of Indian historical figures drawn on the walls. There is also plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. The staff was kind and helpful.
