    Maaan, I really wanted to love it here but sadly I had very mixed feelings about my food. There's…read moredefinitely a lot of potential, though! I wish I could give 3.5 stars. This seems to be a fairly new restaurant in Guntersville. I came for a solo lunch after work in the area a few weeks ago. The restaurant is on the smaller side but the inside is absolutely lovely and not at all what you'd expect from the location. The decor is really very beautiful and looks expensive -- modern and chic! Everything was spotless, including the women's restroom. Service was also fantastic! Unfortunately I'm a few weeks removed from my visit as I've been too busy to write super prompt reviews, but whoever my waitress was, she was such a sweetheart. She took great care of me, anticipating my needs and offering up useful information about the menu and items served. An owner or manager type also came by and spoke to me briefly, quite polite and genuine. On to the food... A complementary sampler type platter was brought out to start. It consisted of some bread, feta, olive oil, and an herb/spice blend (to dip the bread in before dipping in olive oil), along with one other small item that I don't remember -- think it was something pickled or similar. The items on the platter were on par with what you'd hope for, but the bread was unfortunately not warm and quite hard. I didn't eat much of it. I got the hibiscus specialty drink to sip on and that was actually quite lovely. Pretty color, not too sweet, very slightly tart. I was surprised to get a free refill on a drink like that one, but I certainly appreciated it! For my entree, I ordered the shawarma supreme wrap with a side of Brazos fries. This was probably the major letdown of the experience. So, I picked this item because it was on the cheaper side. Lots of the other entrees look good but were quite pricy for lunch. Therefore, I chose a smaller option. The menu said it came with marinated chicken and a garlic sauce, so I scratched my head when my waitress asked if I'd like my onions grilled on the wrap. I didn't know onions came on the wrap. I figured we were probably talking small slivers or cubes of onions, so I agreed. However, when I took a bite of my wrap, I found quite large pieces of onions -- maybe an inch or two in length and diameter both. This really hampered the experience for me because I don't like large pieces of onions at all, and it was impossible to eat even a bite without encountering a hunk of onion. I pulled them out or ate around them. It's a shame, cause the chicken and wrap and garlic sauce were all very flavorful. I agree with other reviewers that the menu is very flowery but doesn't accurately convey what to expect from the dishes. Still, flavor potential! Just gotta clear up what I'm actually ordering. The dish came with a few pickled peppers and vegetables to enhance the flavor, which I enjoyed. The fries were...not good. I should've stuck to a more traditional side dish like rice as I think that's where they excel. They had the consistency and shape of frozen fries. They were jazzed up by some sort of seasoning mixture on top, but unfortunately I really didn't like the flavor. The owner/manager caught me sniffing the fries (lol) and came over to assure me they were cooked fresh and all the way. I wasn't worried about either of those things; I just wanted to figure out what the spices were! It honestly reminded me of Old Bay seasoning but I doubt that's right. I wound up dunking my fries in the garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce to drown out the flavor. Last, I couldn't help but order some rice pudding for dessert. I love desserts from this cuisine so I had to! It was probably my favorite thing that I ate -- nice and creamy, lots of delicious chopped nuts and golden raisins. Good stuff! Would definitely order again but would also love to try the baklava. I guess I'm being extra critical just because I see the vision for something extra special! I'd love to return to try some of the larger, more expensive dishes, hopefully with my husband so we can share. I love this type of food and would love to have more of it in the area so I really hope they succeed! I'll be back to try again, but I'll make sure to double check what's in or on my meal before ordering next time.

    No pita bread Replaced with falafel they were good…read more Tabouleh had little to no parsley Hummus was good Chicken and steak on kebab was tasty Sauces were good Husbands meal was chicken on the bone Mistake it was no good Might get a three from us Hubs a 2

    I usually don't judge a restaurant by what I receive when I order Uber Eats/Door Dash but our meal…read morewas so good, I'd be remiss if I didn't write a review. We ordered the chicken breast plate. Slices of expertly seasoned chicken breast, a few slices of sautéed onions and peppers on a large bed of seasoned rice. A little more veggies and a little less rice would have been nice. The plate comes with what I'd call a "deconstructed" Greek salad. My husband didn't realize the dressing was packed separately and poured it all over his rice. He really liked it. Rounding out the plate is a cup of tzatziki sauce and fresh pita. I ordered extra tzatziki which we definitely didn't need and a side of hummus. The hummus was good but a little runny. I'd definitely order Papa Gyro again. Next I want a gyro. It's in the name, right?!

    If you crave a gyro in Huntsville, this restaurant is as close to getting an authentic taste as I…read morecan find. The original owners are from Iran. This restaurant has Persian food on the menu. The tzatziki is not authentic. There is no cucumber. I ordered 2 Big Papa Gyro's, a small order of fries for Dave, and a Mediterranean salad with feta to go. The Big Papa Gyros were good. As mentioned previously, the tzatziki is not authentic tasting. I couldn't taste the fresh vegetables because they were very very finely diced. I want the flavor of the vegetables and I understand others may not. This business was built with chopped vegetables versus the very very finely diced ones. 3/5 Mediterranean salad with feta had more cabbage than I would ever like. There was a lot of green cabbage mixed with the red and I felt like I was eating crunchy slaw. I like slaw when I want slaw. When I order salad that has come in the past with lettuce and no green cabbage, that's what I expect. I asked for Greek salad dressing and had to ask again for my preferred salad dressing. The syrupy sweet dressing served with my salad is a sugar high I do not care for. 3/5 If you like gyro's, this is the place to go to. I will return again when I crave a gyro. Visit was 3/5.
