Arrived at 4:50 PM on a Thursday in late January and there was one other patron in the dining room…read more No staff were visible but there was a self-service kiosk. I had no trouble entering my order, but was unable to pay because the kiosk's tap-to-pay wasn't working. So I dug out a physical card and tried swiping the card. That also failed. I got out a card with a chip and inserted that card, and finally was able to pay. About that time an employee came out and gave me a warm greeting. I also asked the kiosk to print out a receipt, which it failed to do. Nor did the employee provide one with my order. I asked the employee if I could get a cup and get my drink while my food was cooking, which he allowed (but hadn't offered). I noticed the peach and lemonade drinks were nearly empty (see my photo), but since I was getting a soft drink from the fountain it didn't cause me an issue. Their fountain isn't balanced and an excess of CO2 caused the dispenser to spit out mostly foam and it took a long time to fill my small cup. Speaking of which, a small drink costing $3.25 seems a bit steep to me, although the food items seam more reasonably priced. The dining room is small and all the hard surfaces and cheap metal chairs and stools makes for a cold, uncomfortable, and uninviting space. There is also a bar at the front window with stools. The food was surprisingly tasty. I had the gyro platter with feta and a side of tzatziki sauce added. The meat was very thinly sliced but good quality and a generous portion. The feta topping was pretty bland and unimpressive quality. The tzatziki sauce was good. The fires were crisp and nicely seasoned. The pita was the thinnest I've ever seen, but were soft. The rice was plump and almost creamy, nearly in a pre risotto state, and mildly seasoned and enjoyable. The whole meal was filling and one I would order again.

Food was good except the loaded fries have changed and my husband didn't like them this time. Gyro was solid! Bathroom had zero toilet paper and no one to tell.

Gardenia Mediterranean Restaurant is an absolute gem in Cumming. My salmon special was cooked…read moreperfectly--tender, flaky, and loaded with bright Mediterranean flavors that are a world apart from my usual weeknight fare. My wife's chicken shawarma was just as impressive: juicy, well-seasoned, and layered with spices. Both dishes with flavor sensations we simply do not get in our daily diet, which makes eating here a great treat. Alex is a fantastic host and makes you feel genuinely welcome every time you walk in making you feel like you've walked into his home for a meal, not just another chain restaurant. Service is consistently top notch--attentive without being overbearing--and you can tell they truly care that you enjoy your meal. If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food with outstanding hospitality, Gardenia is absolutely worth the visit.

I ordered a Gyro Philly with a slide of Garbanzo Salad via the app. Usually, it would cost $14.95…read moreplus tax but today I got it for $5.35 plus tax. The Philly was good and the Garbanzo salad was also good. The employees are very good and they are very punctual with their work. Also? the place was clean and it has a nice atmosphere.

We walked in as a family of 5, 2 adults & 3 children, not a party of 12, yet that apparently was too much for them to accommodate within 30 mins of closing. We used to be loyal to this place, never again.

First impressions, the restaurant is casual dinning or take out. It looks clean. I was immediately…read moregreeted when I walked in to order. The server was friendly and very helpful in guiding me through their menu. I sat outside on this summer day due to the covered seating. Very nice ambiance. Food took a little longer to arrive at my table than I thought, most likely due to the many take out orders I saw arrive and leave as I waited at my table. The wait was not long enough to get impatient or agitated. Food arrived fresh looking and well presented. The hummus was delicious. It was cool, not cold and welcomed on this warm day. The pita bread tasted homemade. Think I could've made a meal out of the hummus and pitas alone. I ordered the meat gyro. Again it was a fresh made pita. The Taziki sauce was cool and also tasted homemade. A little overboard with the lettuce and the pickles were tasty but a surprise on a gyro. If you're looking for a fresh lunch, away from standard fast food that is a healthier alternative to burgers and fries, this is a great option. I'll be back when I get a taste for some nearby Mediterranean food.

This place has a lot of rave reviews for lunch and dinner (which were available at 10:30 am). Since it was a early yet, we ordered breakfast. The French toast was good. The breakfast potatoes were over-seasoned with what seemed like a Greek spice. The eggs were fluffy! The coffee was delicious but I believe I got the last 1/2 & 1/2 as everything else in the bowl was nondairy creamer. She was kind enough to offer me milk.
