They seemed rather chaotic when I arrived and it appeared that one very pleasant gentleman was literally juggling and balancing all of the customers! He did offer his apologies more than once because it seemed a guy like me sitting alone in the corner was almost an afterthought. He did explain the soups ... I went for the chicken soip and had already decided on the beef schwarma. The chicken soup was reminiscent of a good Jewish Deli chicken soup with enough goodies in the broth and big chunks of chicken yet the broth was the star. The schwarma was really good too. Somewhat different than others I have enjoyed but different in a good sense A small container of food tasting hummus completed the meal At check out ... well with more than one set of apologies I was an afterthought.

Stopped by Istanbul Gyro & Kebab with a few coworkers for a quick birthday lunch. I ordered the…read moretraditional gyro platter with an upgraded Greek salad. The food was fantastic. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.

Tried Masala Bites for takeout and let me just say... I was 100% influenced by the buy-one-get-one…read moregarlic naan deal that was going on. No regrets there -- that naan understood the assignment. When I try a new Indian spot, I always go with butter chicken as my baseline. I ordered mine "medium hot" because I like spice, but I like flavor more than I like questioning my life choices while sweating through dinner. The flavor was great, portion of rice was HUGE (like... rice for days), but the spice level? Let's just say it politely waved at me from across the room. Next time, we're going full "Indian hot." My friend got the chicken tikka amritsari, which came in one of those elite takeout containers with the little compartments -- we love organization. It looked amazing: chicken, veggies, sauce, the whole situation. He ordered "Indian hot" and... same story. Delicious, but not exactly setting off the fire alarm. He enjoyed it, just wished it brought a little more heat. Only downside: dinner prices for takeout were a bit on the higher side. But overall, really good food -- we just learned that next time, when they say spicy... we need to say spicier.

Probably because Ethiopian food is wonderful. Things to know if you have never eaten Ethiopian food: * A bread called injera is used to eat with. Silverware is available if you prefer. * It is a very vegan, and vegetarian friendly cuisine. * It is spice rich, flavorful food. Some people find it hot. You can order it less spicy on request.

The restaurant is clean and more on the smaller side being in a storefront but was fine. We were greated by a really nice waiter on our way in and he showed myself and my son to our seats.

We used napkins to wipe our glasses inside and out as well as utensils to be precautionary. We will definitely be regulars.

However, some things were off with the meal. I've never ordered that at another restaurant and had 90% of the chicken be bone. In fact, I've never had it with bone before because why would you want to fish out the chunks of chicken and then cut it off the bone? The meal ended up causing an upset stomach the entire night. I then woke up in the middle of the night, running to the bathroom. That's where this review ends.

We were so full yet wanted to try the Chicken Skewers and our daughter loved it. If you like spicy, the jeow dipping sauce is a must! It creeps up and has a nice burn.
