Upon first bite I was amazed! The chicken was well seasoned, cooked and juicy! Fries were crispy and fresh, they got that psoriasis fries which always makes a meal better. The tzatziki was perfect and portioning overall was decent. Let me tell you, this meal cured me. I was having a rough day and one bite changed it all. This may be some fast halal place but that gyro was made with LOVE the pictures I took were already me half way through the dish. The space also looks clean and decent.

I ordered dolma, which is rice wrapped in banana leaves and covered in a sour sauce of sorts. Very well priced, and tasted great.

I sat in, and I had to buy bottled water since they supposedly don't give tap. My dishes were served in paper plates and plastic utensils. I recommend doing delivery here.

What a gem located near me on Upper Union Street in Schenectady. First time to visit!…read more Ordered: Chicken Chapli with Pita instead of fries (choice) Chicken and Lamb platter with Pita Swarma Wrap Received generous portions of flavorful Mediterranean food. The Chicken and Lamb were moist and tender. I am not a lamb lover, but this lamb could change my mind. The rice was spiced mildly and tasted great with the meats. The pita was cut into small pieces, but I would have preferred a whole or half pita. I will ask next time. The owner supplied me with three different sauces on the side to try ranging from mild to spicy (green one). The Chicken Chapli was a cut up well seasoned chicken patty. A few meat combinations are available. (See pic of Menu) The Swarma Wrap was moist and a little messy to eat since I sliced it into two portions. It had a medium spiced sauce and small salad pieces such as cucumber. Not my favorite. The owner was friendly and thanked me for my business. He said they cater for as few as ten people if interested. I commented on the long hours they are open (10 am to 1:15 am), and he responded with a smile, "We're from the City." There are several tables to dine in if wanted. Lots of natural light from the large front windows makes the place inviting. The pick up counter with kitchen behind it is beyond the tables. The walls are decorated nicely, and the place screamed CLEAN. Parking is in front, and the restaurant is easy to access. There are no steps to enter. I look forward to ordering again soon, especially when family visits. Quality, healthy well prepared food to enjoy at home. Please check out my photos to get a sense of the experience.

The staff was very friendly however (the guy who took the order and cashed me out). He made a mistake with the order and didn't charge me extra for his mistake so he threw in fries as part of the combo meal. The chef was also very personable and came out, gave me a sample of the hot sauces as I was curious. But, again, not impressive taste wise. I got the lamb and chicken gyro, which was dry as dry can be...almost like beef that was cooked way too long on the pan to the point all grease has evaporated and been cooked off. I requested both red and white sauces, but as you can see in the picture...barely any white sauce and the red sauce was nowhere to be found. As for the pita wrap...cardboard. Pure cardboard in every bite. Price was not too expensive, but I would not go again. I would rather go to bed hungry. Sorry guys, something has to change in the kitchen and ingredients department.

The chicken wrap was particularly good - the wrap itself appeared to have been made on premises, not one of those commercial tortilla-style wraps you can get anywhere. It was warm, crispy, and tasty.

We all ordered grilled chicken BYO wraps, and they were so good that even my picky son wanted a second one. The toppings were fresh with a great variety. The white sauce was delicious, and the hot sauce wasn't too spicy--something everyone can enjoy. The place is much bigger inside than it looks and feels very clean and spacious. There used to be a pizza place here that didn't feel very clean, but now it's completely different--you can tell a lot of effort went into the renovation. Overall, it's a place we can comfortably enjoy as a family. They've been open about 7 months, and I hope they continue to get the support they deserve.

Food is ready quickly, though grilled items will take a few minutes more. For my first visit here, I ordered the Chicken Doner sub. The meat is prepared Turkish-shawarma style and served on a lightly toasted sub roll (roughly an 8" roll). I requested all the extras, which included the white yogurt sauce, a little of the spicy red sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and I believe cucumbers. It had great aroma and taste. The gentleman behind the counter (the owner maybe?) was very friendly and helpful with regard to ordering and preparing my sub. There's lots of tables inside of various sizes and heights, and plenty of parking outside. The worst part is waiting in anticipation in my car for those darn traffic lights on Route 9 and Old Loudon Rd. to turn green so I can get there!

There was a casual atmosphere. The felafel was the best I've ever had. I've had felafel all over the world in authentic restaurants. This was the best. From the bread to the balls to the salads to the sauces. Pure perfection. Everything was so fresh and so delicious.
