I decided to visit the restaurant based on Yelp rating. I normally don't select a restaurant because of the rating. I decide based on the menu. Their menu definitely got me interested. The food was very good. Upon recommendations from the cashier, I selected their Chicken Combo which had chicken and beef. I was happy that they offered between chicken breast and thigh meat. I also ordered à la carte of the Shish, lamb shank, chicken souvlaki, and Koobideh (ground beef). The different kabobs were seasoned well. The Shish is cubed beef kabob. They will cook it to your preference. I chose medium rare and it was cooked to my liking. The meal came with rice, pita bread (sorry if it's called something else) and hummus. I should have asked if the meats came with some type of sauce. Over, my kids and I enjoyed the flavor of the meats. The shank was very tender and fall off the bone as described by the menu. I loved that the restaurant is family owned, not something like a restaurant group. The restaurant is clean and the staffs are friendly. It is family friendly.

The service is friendly and nice. They will take very good care of you. We love all their food. Some of our favorites are the juicy beef or lamb kabob. All of their soups are great. We really like the lentil soup. Their salads are great and there is something there for everyone. vegans will also love this place. Their mains are just the best. You will love it.

The price wasn't too bad either -- $25 for two delicious entree plates that usually are more expensive at other persian restaurants. You can't beat that!

I especially wanted to see if their lamb shank was still the "star" from my last visit and to try their meat kabobs. So what did we order. 1) Lamb shank (2 orders): again, i believe this entree is one of the best items here. The shank is braised so well that the meat comes right off the bone without any efforts. The flavor is exceptional. it arrives on a bed of rice, hummus, greek salad, and pita bread. This is an item i would order without hesitation. 2) Chicken kabob skewers plate: 6 pieces of boneless white meat that is grilled once the order is placed. The chicken had a nice char and looked great. But the flavor was very mild and grilled a little too long which made the meat a tad dry...perhaps the chicken needed to be marinated longer for the spices to penetrate but the dryness was in preparation over the grill. 3) chicken and beef kabobs skewers plate: again the chicken was grilled a tad too long which made the pieces dry. the beef was moist and had a nice flavor. It also comes with rice and a salad. 4) mixed plate: sliced meat from a rotisserie spit on top of a bed of rice and topped with tzatziki sauce and hot sauce, hummus and greek salad. the sliced meat was a bit dry but more tzatziki sauce on the meat helped. The side salads were very basic. The pita bread is not as soft and fresh as the ones from Jayna Gyro on Alhambra blvd. But I would give 4 stars for the lamb shank and 2-3 stars for the grilled and chicken and beef kabob and rotisserie chicken sliced from the spit.

Never been to this place but heard a lot of good things. The restaurant is not super fancy, but…read moreit's very quaint and elegant. There is no TVs but there is ethnic music playing in the background so it creates a quiet atmosphere for conversation. This restaurant is family owned and run. The father & son manage the dining area. The son who was our server/waiter was very detailed oriented in describing where their food originated & was delivered from + how differently the food would taste with different cuts. I ordered the lamb & my friend ordered the chicken. This particular cut of lamb was not my favorite and I favored the chicken more so next time I dine here I will try a different cut of lamb. With the meal, they serve fresh lemons, and two types of sauces. I personally am not a rice eater however, the way the balsamic rice was prepared I ate everything that was on my plate. Except for the cut of lamb I ordered, I truly enjoyed my meal and would come back and recommend it to anyone who asks if I know of a good Greek restaurant.

I tried their Greek fries, triple dip and souvlaki. All of these dishes were excellent. The service was good albeit a little on the slower side in my opinion to receive my food considering it was pretty dead and quiet when I ordered. Luckily I wasn't in a rush and honestly the freshness was worth the slightly longer wait than I'm used to elsewhere. The ambiance is alright but I honestly don't think ambiance really matters for a fast casual place like this. They had Greek music playing which added to the restaurant's theme. Normally I'm not in the downtown area on weekdays for happy hour but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it today. I'll definitely have to come back.

The kabobs are juicy, tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The rice is fluffy and pairs perfectly with the meat, while the house salad adds a fresh balance to the plate.
