This is a bodega style deli fully equipped with clutter and random misplaced overstock items. The…read moremenu was falling apart though reads well. I had the falafel gyro with fries and a pomegranate soda. I will not have that again though I have searched some of my local markets for the pomegranate soda. Everything was dry and lacked flavor. While the falafel were piping hot, there was no flavor at all. There was just a sheer smear of hummus, one piece of iceberg lettuce and one tomato cut in half along with two or three cut falafel. No red onion or tzatziki sauce which is what made this so dry. The fries were hot though dry (not sure how that happens) and they had OLD BAY sprinkled on them when he asked if I wanted salt, not old bay. The service was prompt and quiet, no engagement which is typical for a bodega. The seating was standard and clean. I was just disappointed in the meal I chose.

Our ROMEO lunch group of 8 went here for our first time today. I was a little surprised when we…read morewalked in because when I first looked at their website I only saw the dinner menu, which basically was Middle Eastern dishes with almost all of the them priced around $32.95. I figured this must be a nice restaurant with sit down tables and decent lighting. However, after opening the door it basically looked like a fast food, order at the counter restaurant, with about 6 tables or so with around 6-7 small chairs around each table. There was one person waiting outside and inside there was one person sitting at a table eating. There was one person cooking and nobody to take orders. We stood there and watched him cook for about 3-4 minutes without him acknowledging our presence. Finally he finished cooking, wrapped it up and gave it to the guy waiting. He took our orders one by one and while he was taking the third order a guy came out to do the cooking. This was about 11:20AM. Three of us ordered Lamb Gyros with fries. We had one order for a hamburber, a chicken gyro with fries, two combination paninis and one other chicken sandwich. The three lamb gyros came out first. They were very tightly wrapped in a thin paper and then with aluminum foil. The lamb was good but getting the wrapping paper off was a mess. Very messy to eat (but hey, it's a gyro) but the taste was good. The chicken sandwich came out around 35 minutes after ordering. The hamburger was out at about 30 minutes. It didn't look like much and the bun was like something you'd buy off the shelf at Walmart or local grocery store...nothing special, just a normal ordinary hamburger bun. It was rated as a 2.0 by the guy that ordered it. The fries were good, again nothing special but there were quite a bit with the orders. We weren't very impressed with the restaurant as far as friendliness or ambiance. Our average overall rating for it was a 2.87 so we probably won't make this one of our favorites of the 179 restaurants we've eaten at in the Cola area.

Chicken was crispy and crunchy as advertised. Also hot and fresh. In addition to wings and legs, I got a biscuit because the looked good. The biscuit was crumbly and tasted like it was topped with honey & butter. Four stars because it's worth a visit, but not the absolute best I've had. Service was fast and friendly. Bathroom was nice and clean. There's no place to dine.

Very tasty. A little bit of kick but no too bad even though the menu shows 3 hot peppers for spice level. The fries are the crinkle cut kind so not fresh cut but still very good.

Flavor was through and through. The yams needed a little sauce for me, but they were still flavorful. I am coming back to Columbia JUST to revisit this place forsure!

I would not recommend this location or the food.

We ordered two wing combos and fried mushrooms, and it took about 15 minutes. I've never had fried mushrooms, but these tasted so good. The outside was crispy and had a good flavor, and the inside was warm and tasted almost soupy and earthy. Good mushrooms. But the wings were small. like two bites small. Like they were taken from a baby chicken that was still in the second trimester. I got the hot honey flavor and she got the mild flavor. The wings really tasty and the fries were perfect. And I love fries. I'll pick a place just bc they have good fries. these were hot and just came out of the fryer and were very crispy and flavorful (with the seasoned salt). I'll still be dreaming about those fries 10 years from now. If you sit too close to the bathroom, it starts to smell like actual Dookie, though, so be warned. Other than that, I will definitely come back in the future.
