I decided on a bowl with hummus, shawarma, and an assortment of toppings. It was delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I got another to take home. The bowl was enough for me to make into three meals that kept me going and happy all day. Will definitely swing by more regularly to pick up a healthy treat for myself. They also offer up a great selection of middle eastern grocery items--as well as things the use in their kitchen--so you can take home your favorites to use in your own kitchen. Picked up a container of sheeps milk cheese (feta) this visit and will be getting pickles next time.

Docked this family run establishment a star because they screwed up my order -not because of food…read more Ordering take out in person should reduce mistakes. In spite of being disappointed, we will order from here again because of quality of the food. The details: Visited midweek before the dinner rush hour & ordered takeout directly from the counter. Ordered 2 greek salads. one w/ chick & one with falafel. For an additional side, asked if they had the babaganoush & on receiving the affirmative, oordered. They have a system where you order base, then protein etc ... easy peasy. On returning home found no baba ganoush & both salad entrees had chicken. So our pescatarian in the house was sol. Food quality is very good. The tomato & olives were good quality. The dressings & taziki excellent as is the humus. Improvements wished for: Greek salads should have the promised feta not feta dust. This is a true takeout type of establishment, a few tables are available as is a TV to view while waiting for your order.

A couple years ago we had KoPita on a food tour and really enjoyed it, so we decided to make a…read morereservation for Valentine's Day. When we made a reservation on the website there was no mention of a pre fixe menu. Not on the website, and not with the reservation. We went intending to get light appetizers, but when we arrived we were told that the only option was a 55 dollar per person menu. While we were annoyed by the bait and switch we decided to stay because there was no chance of getting a table anywhere else. I'll start by saying that I Know that Valentine's Day is historically very busy, but over half the tables in the restaurant were empty, and I've been in significantly busier environments where I still received a high level of service. In this instance, saying that we were dismissed by the staff was an understatement. My wife was sat while I was parking, and when I joined her I wasn't even acknowledged by the staff. We asked one question the server who was dropping off the food snapped at us and acted extremely irritated that we even addressed her while she dropped the food off. We asked for tea because we knew that was one of their specialties. The response that was snapped back was "no tea tonight, if you want drinks go pay at the bar, it's separate." The table beside us seemed to clearly be VIPs as the were in fact served several pots of tea. All in all the staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience and they didn't want us to be in the restaurant. The exception was a very nice server wearing a light colored dress, she was very kind, which only made everyone else's disdain all the more evident by contrast. The food itself was just ok. Course 1: salads, it had fruit and fresh vegetables. It was excellent. Course 2: zucchini and eggplant with beef. It was well cooked but the sauce was extremely bland. Course 3: chicken stuffed with liver. This was gross, not even edible. Course 4: leg of lamb with rice. Once again the meat was well prepared, but it here was almost no seasoning. The rice that came with it was undercooked and kinda tough. Course 5: It was listed as braised beef brisket, but it was just an unseasoned pot roast. I expected Mediterranean food to be presented with a significantly more interesting range of flavor profiles. Course 6: Baklava, really great! The layers were crisp and the flavor was smooth. All that to say, it wasn't anywhere near worth the cost, I went for a light dinner and only had the option of buying a heavy 6 course menu. Other tables were given service and we were treated as an annoyance. The location was very convenient, so they have that going for them... which is nice.

I don't know what the "salsa" is that they serve with the hummus, but they should sell it. We had a new waitress and it being her first day she did remarkably well.

I imagine it would be nice on a game day! You should try the hummus and the lamb burger. Both 5/5.

Arrived at 4:50 PM on a Thursday in late January and there was one other patron in the dining room…read more No staff were visible but there was a self-service kiosk. I had no trouble entering my order, but was unable to pay because the kiosk's tap-to-pay wasn't working. So I dug out a physical card and tried swiping the card. That also failed. I got out a card with a chip and inserted that card, and finally was able to pay. About that time an employee came out and gave me a warm greeting. I also asked the kiosk to print out a receipt, which it failed to do. Nor did the employee provide one with my order. I asked the employee if I could get a cup and get my drink while my food was cooking, which he allowed (but hadn't offered). I noticed the peach and lemonade drinks were nearly empty (see my photo), but since I was getting a soft drink from the fountain it didn't cause me an issue. Their fountain isn't balanced and an excess of CO2 caused the dispenser to spit out mostly foam and it took a long time to fill my small cup. Speaking of which, a small drink costing $3.25 seems a bit steep to me, although the food items seam more reasonably priced. The dining room is small and all the hard surfaces and cheap metal chairs and stools makes for a cold, uncomfortable, and uninviting space. There is also a bar at the front window with stools. The food was surprisingly tasty. I had the gyro platter with feta and a side of tzatziki sauce added. The meat was very thinly sliced but good quality and a generous portion. The feta topping was pretty bland and unimpressive quality. The tzatziki sauce was good. The fires were crisp and nicely seasoned. The pita was the thinnest I've ever seen, but were soft. The rice was plump and almost creamy, nearly in a pre risotto state, and mildly seasoned and enjoyable. The whole meal was filling and one I would order again.
