    Food and drinks were delicious! Katie our server was so wonderful . We tried a few dishes and they were all so tasty We will be coming back!

    Busy on Thursday

    Really great! Everything is so flavorful and the options are a lot different than anything else in the area. We went on opening night and have been back twice since (takeout last night). The various pies are really good (meat and onion was our favorite, spinach and feta is good, cheese and yogurt our least favorite). We've had a few appetizers too (all good). Dishes we've tried (and liked) included... MINCED BEEF STEW WITH RICE - got this twice and loved it both times STIL TIRANE - super flavorful and great with their homemade bread SHORT RIBS - got this last night and after adding a little salt it was terrific (super tender) MEDITERRANEAN MEAT DUMPLINGS - I loved these (tried last night) and will definitely get again It was good to see them really full last night (a Thursday). Looking forward to coming back soon.

    I stumbled in here while my Rivian was in for service nearby, looking for a quick lunch, and I'm…read moreglad I did. I ordered the Authentic Pork Gyro combo, which comes with a side and a drink. I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect. Between 12 and 1 this place was absolutely jamming, with barely a seat to spare, which should tell you something. Not to mention I heard the staff greet many people by name. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing my partner. She loves Greek food and this place deserves a proper visit.

    We liked the staff and it was pretty fast. We asked for a special order Greek fries with a side of…read moregyro meat on top. The fries were great. Nice texture and well cooked. But the gyro meat was surprisingly bacony and fattier than I expected. They had a nice selection of fruit sodas that I hadn't seen anywhere else. I wouldn't pick this place for a first date or anything but it seemed like it would be great if you had a big party.

    Currently closed till 7/2024 according to Yelp…read more But late 2022, we finally got the chance to try Fairouz's $43 Mixed Grill Plate (chicken, beef, shrimp (4 count), lamb, kafta (ground beef and lamb), served with rice, salad (simply lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, and two portions of oil based dressing), garlic dip & hummus dip), to go. Everything came well packed, with the salad in a large plastic clam shell, two little sauce containers of each dip, two ziplock baggies of pita triangles, napkins, plastic ware, all sitting on the aluminum foil covered tray of meat and rice. Since I had been enticed by Bea's photo of this dish, I was a little disappointed at the lack of grilled vegetables. But there was salad and upon reflection, the menu made no mention of such veggies, so perhaps there's been changes over time? The rice received props from this household, and wonder at how it was flavored. The meat, though medium to well done, was tender enough, and the lamb lacked that gaminess that the non-lamb-eater among us so dislikes. The kafta and shrimp were the most strongly seasoned proteins of the bunch, and the shrimp rather juicy. Both hummus and garlic dip were good, but the garlic is indeed strong with the latter, so spread with a light hand. You can always add more to taste after all. The worst that could be said was that I wished that there had been more tomatoes in the salad, and if only they had not split the pita triangles. Pitas without their pockets are rather tougher to enjoy as self made mini sandwich bundles of all the good flavors and textures. I hope they see this and reconsider.

Not a vegan friendly restaurant. One of us is vegan so I called ahead and asked if they had any vegan options. They said yes, and that the server would help us pick out items.

The lighting is classy but moody, and the silverware and dishes feel modern and upscale. The overall design was well executed...and a bit more successful than the food. The build your own bowls were a perfect portion for lunch, and I loved the concept with couscous, "greek" slaw, and your choice of two dips and one protein. My favorite item in the bowl was the horiatiki salsa, which was finely diced tomatoes, cucumber, and onion - it was really excellent and showcased how great knife skills can elevate a dish! Unfortunately, the other items were a bit underwhelming. The chicken skewer and falafel patty were enjoyable, but everything was rather dry, even with the slaw and hummus. We ordered an extra side of tzatziki, which helped a little, but the bowls would really benefit from a sauce, such as tahini or an olive oil drizzle. It's a lovely space and probably a great spot to share some drinks and apps for lunch or after work.
