The owner answered all my questions and let me try the taboulli before ordering, too! Our gyros were generously filled with meat. Feta, tomatoes, lettuce, and creamy tazziki sauce! Hummus is rich and creamy. Tabouli is excellent! They have 2 different shelving areas offering "provisions" like olive oil,tahini, chickpeas, spices, and assorted cookies and crackers.

Ordering is done at a counter and they bring the food to your numbered table. The portions were okay and the quality was about what you'd expect from a chain (I do not have a lot of experience with greek food chains, tbh.)

I think you can get a combo meal with two sides on most of their entree items. I got a spinach and feta and chicken fatayers, which is like a giant bread pocket with filling inside. I enjoyed it, very flavorful. I think if I wanted it again, I need to be in the mood and have the craving for it. Their hummus was tasty, but not as thick as I like my hummus to be. It's good, just the texture got me. Their tabbouleh was amazing. Also bought a pistachio baklava which was incredible. Never had that flavor and this will be the biggest reason I return to their bakery. Very fulfilling lunch. Thank you for the experience!

I went in to order a gyro wrap to go, and wanted to add a drink. They suggested I get the combo instead and I said sure. So I paid $18 for it and received a box and my drink to go and felt all was good. Came back to work only to find they didn't include the fries in the combo. I went back to my receipt and the menu to confirm that it was supposed to, and they definitely charged me the full price. The food itself is good, but this really ruined the experience. I don't plan to go back there.
