Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. The rice was great, the gyro meat was flavorful, and the tzatziki was really good. I got the lunch portion, which was good, but I do wish I had gone with the dinner size--definitely doing that next time since I want to try their hummus. The salad was the only part that was a little off for me. It seemed like the veggies hadn't been dried very well, so there was quite a bit of water sitting at the bottom. It also had pickles in it, which was interesting--but I actually didn't mind that part since I like pickles anyway. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because my husband's order wasn't made correctly. He ordered a similar plate with chicken and specifically asked for no salad and no tzatziki, and it was even confirmed when he ordered. But when he got home, both were still on his plate, which was frustrating for him. Aside from that, the food itself was really good. I'd definitely order from here again--and next time, I'm going for the Dinner Plate

The gyro was full of fresh toppings but not overly smothered in sauce and the fries were plentiful and well seasoned. I was very pleased. Based on this experience, I'll absolutely be back soon.

You know the food is good when it looks like a hurricane hit you mid-meal) The staff- warm, friendly, helpful and genuine. I'm a newbie to Mediterranean food and these guys never make me feel bad over stumbling over words/pronunciation. Plus, they have great recommendations. Finally, people actually eat inside! Ever since Covid I've found it depressing to walk in to a beautiful restaurant, only to find the only folks inside are door dashers. I can eat inside and not feel like a weirdo loner (though half the time the dog insists we take it to go so he can get half the fries). Highly recommend!

I would recommend this plate for sure!!! The meat of the gyro plate was well done, but wish it had come with some kind of sauce as it was otherwise dry. Maybe the gyro wrap is better? The chicken leg was for our kiddos and was much larger than I expected considering it was only a $2 add-on.

Placed an online order to go: Greek fries and a side of gyro meat to throw on top, since sandwiches and bowls are $13-$16! Insane. I saw the bowls, they're not large. Not a great deal by any stretch, but that's lunch hour in Seattle I guess. The fries were soggy, barely any feta on top, and the "gyro" meat is just freakin' weird. It tastes like lamb meatballs. Not at all what I expected. On top of this, my order was not ready and I ended up waiting 15 minutes. Three people in line in front of me and three behind, but just one guy behind the counter taking and prepping orders, tickets popping out of the machine left and right until he cried uncle for some help. "Wow it got busy fast, went from no orders to backed up!" Yeah dude, it's 12:15. People get off at 12, call it in, take a piss and start walking to the restaurant, just like every lunch rush every day in a busy commercial core. I also dislike having to wait in line for a pickup order. I'm in a hurry. If you can't accommodate, I can go somewhere else. Just leave my order out! I did grab a jar of grilled preserved lemons to take home. Not sure what to use them for but they look delicious. All in all, not great, again.

Staff: Super chill Food: They may have recently opened up and are still playing around with the flavor but what you see is definitely all recommended. A lot of strong filipino flavors accompanied by a more Mediterranean approach. I ordered the 500 Days of sinigang and the Sisig Gyro. Some folks complained the wings were small, but I thought they're a good amount. I wouldn't complain on the size because their prices are good. I'd say it's my fav. thus far. The Sisig Gyro is a bit more fun and better than the typical trend of putting it in a burrito (although I do love Kainan Boys in Kirland. Also hugely recommended). The gyro brings it all together, but I think the real winners are the wings.
