Being the romantic sort, I took my wife here on Valentine's Day. I made the right move, for once…read more We loved it. We had the tilapia plate and falafel combo. Both delicious. What really stood out, though, was the fava plate appetizer. It's a dip that comes with pita bread but it's not like hummus. You could eat it with a spoon. It could be a meal, a very tasty one. You order at the counter, then wait at your table, listen to some middle eastern grooves and a short time later a super friendly server brings your food. The place is great!

We've been coming to Sahara Mediterranean Food for years, and it's just as good as I remember! The…read morefries are so yummy--hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. The hummus is also hot, fresh, and delicious, and the pita bread is soft and warm, which makes everything even better. There are many different serving options to choose from, so it's easy to find something you'll love. They bring your food to the table, but service beyond that is limited--however, the workers are always super nice and welcoming, which we really appreciate. Overall, it's a consistently great spot that we'll keep coming back to.

We met up with friends at Paros Estiatorio and honestly weren't quite sure what to expect. After…read morelooking through the menu and photos beforehand, I landed somewhere between casual and upscale with jeans, a button-up, and a jacket. At first I felt slightly overdressed, but as the evening went on the crowd definitely skewed more polished, though overall it still leaned approachable and relaxed. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and one of my favorite parts was being able to watch the kitchen in action. The lighting and music might be a little challenging for some older guests, but we had no trouble carrying on conversation at the table. Service was on the slower side, though we were there to enjoy the evening and never felt rushed. We started with the spanakopita and grilled octopus. The spanakopita was excellent, perfectly crisp phyllo with a filling that leaned more spinach-forward than feta-heavy, which I really enjoyed. The octopus was fresh and flavorful, though it wasn't as much of a hit with the rest of the table. For salads, we tried the roasted beet salad and the watermelon feta salad. Both were fine, but on a return visit I'd probably skip them and save room for more appetizers or mains. For entrées, I ordered the lamb shank while my wife had the moussaka. Both dishes were excellent, but the moussaka absolutely stole the show. It's served in a square baking vessel and is rich, comforting, and easily large enough to share between two maybe even three people. To finish, we took baklava to go and stayed for the crème brûlée, which was exactly what you want from a classic version of the dish: creamy custard with a perfectly caramelized top. Overall, Paros delivered a really enjoyable evening with a beautiful atmosphere, strong entrées, and a menu that feels elevated without being pretentious.

After recently moving to Kansas City from California, I had the opportunity to dine at Paros last…read morenight. I'd only heard glowing reviews and was really looking forward to it. Walking into the bright, tastefully appointed restaurant, I was pleased to see it wasn't the over-the-top, kitschy blue and white I'd feared. The maître d' was pleasant and accommodating when three of us arrived 30 minutes early for our party-of-seven reservation, and we were happily seated at the bar for a pre-dinner drink. As I passed into the dining room, I noticed the window into the kitchen, which added to the ambiance. The waitstaff were smartly attired, professional, and polished. Our servers were knowledgeable, efficient, and truly outstanding--it's been years since I've experienced such solid table service. For starters, we shared several plates. Unfortunately, our tasting board (an assortment of vegetables, pita, hummus, and tzatziki) tasted as if someone had taken a salt grinder to the whole thing. On the upside, the fried chickpeas were a fun addition, and the stuffed grape leaves were delightful. Three of us ordered the scallops and risotto for our entrées, and that's where things unraveled. The scallops were cooked to perfection, but the risotto was overwhelmingly salty. My sister took one bite and sadly said, "It's too salty." I tried mine and had to agree. Our father--ever the Midwesterner--finished his dish despite the saltiness rather than complain. I quietly informed our waiter that all three risottos were over-salted. I share this because I truly wanted to give Paros five stars: the service and atmosphere were incredibly enjoyable, and the wine list (with plenty of Greek options) was terrific. Sadly, someone must have been heavy-handed with the salt last night. I'd love to return and see if it was just an off evening--3.5 stars from me.

Our handyman recommended this place. He's from Europe somewhere, so I figured that was a good sign…read more Their gyros are definitely not light, but then again, what gyro is? They put fries inside the gyro, which purists probably won't like. I personally love it. It cuts through the richness of the lamb and beef combo. Total salt overload, but when you're in the mood for it, it hits. My mom ordered the chicken gyro and it was terrible. Big chunks of chicken breast covered in honey mustard and super messy. She hated it and honestly I did too. She prefers the style Mr. Gyros used to serve pre-Covid, and this wasn't even close. So it's kind of hit or miss. They do their main item really well. Everything else is just meh. It's also very close to Planet Fitness, so it feels like a treat without the guilt.

It was served with my choice of side dish, and I selected a Greek salad. The salad was very simple, but utterly delicious and the dressing was perfect. It was also served on the side so I could control the amount. The dolmades or grape leaves were extra extraordinary. I love it when they have that little acid or lemon taste. These did not, but were still exceptional. My wife will love them! I can't wait to come back here and try other things on the menu. Very excited about this place.

Update: Stopped by after my mom's physical therapy--she'd been craving chicken gyro meat, and…read morepost-COVID this is basically the only spot in the greater OP area that still does it. Kudos! Chicken Gyro (no tzatziki) - Large, well-grilled pita with tomatoes. Simple and solid--this is why we came. It delivered for her--she was in a full-on food coma after. (4/5) Beef/Lamb Gyro - Enormous--one of the biggest I've had. Nice grilled crust on the pita, tasty meat. (4/5) Wish it came with diced onions, and the tomatoes were diced instead of sliced. Tzatziki is a bit thinner and slightly off from what I'm used to. But on mine, there was some on the sandwich and a side--hadn't seen that before. It actually worked well, kept the meat moist--without making it mushy--and let me add more as needed. Added sambal for heat, which helped. Kebab Platter - Mixed bag. Steak kebab was solid (medium rare), minced kebab was decent (in between), chicken was just okay. Rice was very dry--I think I noticed some sumac on top, but either way it didn't help. The salad was excellent--fresh with a lot of pop. Not something I'd order again, but if I did, I'd eat the salad with the rice and kebabs instead of starting with it. It adds the moisture and pop the rest of the plate is missing. That said, each component should stand on its own. (3/5) Overall: 4/5 Gyros carry. Salad and steak kebab were nice, but the platter didn't land. I'd stick to gyros or just do a steak kebab plate next time.
