Twilight zone ah restaurant…read more The summer evening's gentle humidity greeted me as I woke up from a strange dream. I recall a long room. Tables set. A menu hanging by a thread, the crease counting on one hand how many openings it has left. What is that desolate counter doing there? And those Wayfair basket shelves? Sure, I'll get the Greek Platter. A tasty entree no doubt but an unholy matrimony: the saddest pita bread you'll meet. At no fault to Kinzi, cyclospora weighed heavy on me this meal. Just thought you should know. Soon I'm in the hallway. Washing your hands is righteous, right? Where am I? Laboratory light seems to come from nowhere. Dove white dry paint on the floor and the door. And the handle. Get me out of here. As I descend the steps of purgatory, a siren calls: "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" Motion detectors. But where? And what are we protecting? The patrons from themselves? I'm back, but not for long. This entire time I endured the music. The flat screen does no justice to these poor bare bellied women, forced to dance for eternity, only punctuated by YouTube ads. Then, suddenly, there's an incessant beeping. For a few minutes it won't go away. Then, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" followed by the cutely sinister chimes. Oh, it's the ice box. He rips something out of the bottom and the beeps dissipate. The kind man approaches. "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" What? Oh! The plates, yes, and the check, yes. "Save Ferris," his shirt reads. Is that who we're guarding? As he walks back, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" *jingle lingle ling* Time to go. The motion detector once again clocks me as I exit. Everyone should dare to dream. For now, I must wake up.

We ordered the tabouli salad, baba ghanoush, and lentil soup. None of the dishes really stood out,…read morebut the portions are generous for the price compared to many Mediterranean restaurants. The restaurant appeared to be severely understaffed, our server was also cooking, and it seemed like only one person was running the entire place. Because of that, service and cleanliness suffered a bit, and the tables and menus felt slightly sticky. I'd probably recommend takeout over dining in, but I also got the sense that this was more of a staffing issue than a lack of effort.

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.

All of the waitstaff were friendly, attentive and helpful. The hummus here is prime. So delicious, nothing like it! My lamb was tender with all the Mediterranean flavor just as if you were in Greece. I love the toasted veggies, potatoes and creamy garlic sauce is cool and flavorful. The plate can be shared but I just had leftovers for home. My mom got the salmon. She said it was seasoned well, tender, well done but juicy.

My wife loves the standard gyro, either in sandwich or salad form. I can never properly decide. All the kabobs, falafel, halloumi, tabouleh, everything has been excellent.

I wasn't really sure what to order, and unfortunately, the employee wasn't very helpful with recommendations. I tried the gyro sandwich, which was very messy and made it difficult to fully enjoy.

I'm not counting this restaurant out, I just need to try a few more items on the menu to see what else they have to offer.

I could have put zero star after my most recent visit. I and my family used to go to this place a…read morelot before it took over by the new owners. On July 7, I went there for Chicken Plate and didn't realize I got over charges; the price is about $13 and my CC statement shows $27.79!!! I didn't recognize the amount when I had to approve the charge as it how I always did at this place. So part of this is my mistake I guess by not carefully look at the final charge on the machine. However how come someone at the restaurant would have made such as HUGE mistake on the amount to begin with!!!! I did call and ask if something could be done. They said it was three ago and told me I am the one that approved the charge so nothing they can do about it high and dry. So be aware of how these guys are doing business or make sure you catch a mistake. If I am in their shoes I would have offered the customer something. Not going to go here any more or need to learn a lesson to always take a receipt. I try not to generate any waste paper but lessons learned. Edited: Well, the owner reached out to me and took care of the issue. The reason I am saying the new owner because there have been certain changes and me making that assumption. So I stand corrected if that is not the case. Anyhow, regardless of the initial experience/complaint, the foods here are almost good and worth it for $ you will be paying for. This is why our family have been going to this place for many years from time to time when we feel eating quick and good Greek/Mediteranean foods. Anyhow, putting that situation behind and the fact that the owner got back to me so quickly, I highly recommend this place and change my star review!!!

First getting to it is a little tricky if you're not paying attention. Coming from the west down 83rd you have to turn early and go through the housing because of a median that keeps you from turning in. Best bet is if you can come in heading south down Metcalf. The food was awesome. So fresh. I had the Gyro Plate and he had the Gyro sandwich. We also got a couple of baklava and Almond Cookies. I loved the portion size and felt it was a great amount of food for me. I would like to go back and try some other things on the menu. The place was very clean and nice inside with music playing. You go up to a counter to order your food, then they call your number for pick up. Everyone was friendly and polite. When there was no customers at the counter you could hear staff talking and laughing with each other, which to me shows they enjoy their job and seemed like they enjoyed their co-wotkers. Tipping was optional with tip jar.

I absolutely love Mediterranean food, especially the Mediterranean food I've experienced back home, so I was really excited to try a new spot. The restaurant itself was very clean, quiet, and easy to navigate. You order at the counter and they bring your food out, and the staff was friendly enough. I just wasn't overly impressed with the overall experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita, which came with lentil soup. Unfortunately, the shawarma was pretty mediocre for me. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't something that left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back and get this again." I was especially looking forward to the lentil soup, but unfortunately, it was so hot that it actually burned through the bottom of the container and leaked all through the bag. By the time we realized what had happened, a good portion of the meal had been ruined. The one thing I will say is that the garlic sauce was really good! My daughter also enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries, so there were definitely some positives. Overall, I'm glad we tried Sahara, but based on this particular visit, I wouldn't be rushing back. I think there's potential for it to be a good spot, but my first experience just didn't wow me the way I was hoping it would.
