Dawn10 months agoWonderful Mediterranean restaurant! How are we just finding out about this?! I was searching for Greek food since I love Gyros and found this place. We went today and it is amazing! I ordered a Gyro and my husband got the buffet which looked amazing. The food was excellent, the service friendly, and the atmosphere nice. They have plenty of seating so bring a large crowd! They have dessert too so we bought rice pudding and baklava too take home!
Emraan Khana year agoI had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered a salad and was shocked to find the lettuce wilted, dirty, and even moldy clearly unwashed and unfit to eat. I had orders before but this time makes me never gonna order again. It honestly surprised me that something like this could be served to a paying customer. No one human or animal should be served food in such a condition. Cleanliness and hygiene should be a minimum standard, and if that can’t be maintained, then the restaurant seriously needs to rethink its operations or consider shutting down before someone takes legal action for a food safety violation. I never leave harsh reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. I hope the management takes this seriously.
Antoinette Koprowski2 months agoWe ordered the Family Tray for Mother's Day, and it was a plethora of different meats and sauces. It fed 9 people, in addition to sending home food for days for each of my daughters. It was delicious! The flavors in each thing they make is filled with flavor. The food was ready for pickup, and the food was nice and hot. We were greeted by very nice employees in a clean environment.
Obey Wanna year agoDon't let the strip mall location fool you, this food is AMAZING! This is as authentic Middle Eastern fare as you can get. Like, the last time I had food like this was in the Middle East. So good! I have now been there 3 times, and each time, the food is excellent. I've even brought former Amish/Mennonite folks to expand their horizons and they were blown impressed. I highly recommend the kebabs and wraps as intros, and definitely get both the hummus and baba ganoush. Both are phenomenal. And absolutely get both the baklava and the lady fingers. YUM! Service has been attentive and helpful for folks new to this cuisine. Atmosphere is meh, but don't let that stop you. You are here for great food, and they deliver!
Lindsay Dalla4 months agoThis place is phenomenal!! Food is fresh and oh so delicious, staff is amazing and so kind too! We will be back soon!
