Not quite as spice filled as I have had before but still yummy and would order again. And I didn't get a photo of our pizza because they were inhaled too quickly!

We walked in and were instructed to seat ourselves. Adam was our server and was amazing. I chose the build your bowl option and got rice, chicken gyro with the Al Amir salad and vegetables as my side. We also ordered the hummus with Damascus bread. Everything was so delicious. The chicken was tender and nicely seasoned. The rice was perfect and the salad and veggies were equally as yummy. The star was for sure the Damascus bread! It was so soft and just absolutely delicious. Everything is reasonably priced for the portions. They also have vegan cheese doe their pizzas but ran out the day we went so will definitely be back to try that!

Will not go back again.

It is…read moreconveniently located on Devine street in Columbia, SC and they have a private parking lot it is a popular restaurant, so parking can be challenging. There is also available street parking as well. Upon entering this restaurant, we were quickly seated and greeted by a very professional staff member. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. Their menu offers plenty of delicious entrees, and they also have daily specials. We placed our order after checking out their menu, and we truly enjoyed everything we tasted. I'm positive that we will return for another visit soon, and I'd strongly recommend this restaurant for friends and family members.

I think one of the best Mediterranean restaurants Columbia has to offer. I've been a frequent diner…read moreof this place for years while I resided downtown, but now that I'm a little ways out, it's a treat to dine here, but still really enjoy their food nonetheless. I've always gone with and recommend the chicken kebab. It comes with about 4-5 pieces of grilled chicken, yellow rice, vegetables, and side of tzatziki sauce. The grilled flavor of the chicken just mixes so well with the rice, so having that clean "chicken & rice" meal while maintaining the awesome flavors. The menu is pretty diverse, despite Mediterranean being their speciality. They offer other American dishes like burgers or even pizza; never tried them though, but options are there to diversify. Right now due to Ramadan, their hours are adjusted for dining in, so they stop seating people around 7:30pm. To go orders are the only option; not a big deal for me though. I highly recommend people to try this place out if they haven't; seriously a solid 4 star dining establishment!

The owner brought me something to try that he was eating for dinner, and I don't remember what it was, but it was made with quinoa and was a bit spicy! Whatever it was, it was delicious...

He was charming, sweet, and very nice! He really made my day! The food is delicious, and the staff are very sweet... Excellent dinner experience!

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

I like that customer service that Angela gives when you enter the building.

I ordered a falafel wrap and it was missing sauce or flavor to the point that we had to go and ask for Greek dressing to add.. my meal came with potato chips, but I mistakenly ordered another potato, which was the roasted potatoes which may have been old and undercooked a bit. We asked if we could get the cucumber and tomato salad just so I could add it to my falafel wrap to make it complete, I was also missing olives. The Cesar salad was also lacking and underdressed, I don't know if we just ordered the wrong items and maybe she give this place another try ......we will see.

The ingredients were fresh, and the service was pretty quick. If none of the pre-made bowls or salads stand out to you, Kairos allows you to build your own. They also have a few house-made drinks/juices that looked tasty, though I didn't try them. Great lunch spot or somewhere to eat if you need a quicker meal that won't break the bank.

I ordered a bowl with the same items that I have at Cava and this bowl tasted so much more elevated than Cava. The flavor was just spot on! The staff were very welcoming. Well, the guy who started our bowls but the next two girls were kinda blah! But it's cool, lol! I got the lemonade for a drink and just enjoyed dining in. The dining area is very open and bright. It was clean and someone was cleaning as people were leaving versus just leaving tables full of junk till someone asked them to clean. I will definitely be back!
