Gyro Plate
Jose Raul P.

Mediterranean food that's open until 2 AM!? Yes please! The highlight of this place is that it's open until 2AM! They also have hookah set ups. The vibe I got was more of a hookah bar that serves decent Mediterranean food. Also! Did I mention they are open at 2AM!? Anyways, next time you're looking for a spot after some drinking and don't want to get fast food, check this spot out.

This was a first time experience, and it was waaaay more of an amazing experience than I was expecting. The staff and food was awesome! It is a BYOB, and not too overly priced... especially after being there for nearly 5 hours. I would recommend this venue to tourists and locals. It is relaxing, not overly loud, and super friendly. The owner and staff allowed me to take a picture of the fun and experience, and my husband and coworkers were especially happy with the experience. I recommend this locally owned business 120%

TLDR; GREAT VIBE FOR HOOKAH My friends and u stumbled upon this place accidentally looking for a late night meal and the food was really good. The flavors were spot on when it comes to middle eastern cuisine. However, the real star of the show was most definitely the hookah. The atmosphere they have outside for the hookah is a really chill space. The hookahs were very smooth as well. To top it off the music was very good! Very strong 90s/00s R&B & hip hop vibes. We were in love and enjoyed every minute! Most definitely going back for the hookah & music!

We make I visit here a few times a week for dinner. They have really good food as well as the green tea with mint tends to be a favorite amount my group.

Hummus only half full for $8

I tried this place for the first time tonight. I placed an online order, and although the food is very good, I must give 3 stars because they are way overpriced. First of all- I ordered the hummus appetizer and the tzaziki appetizer. The menu says $5.99 for each- but when I picked up my food to pay, they charged me $7.99 for each. I'm not one to usually complain, so I didnt bother to. However.. the appetizers weren't even halfway full... So I basically paid $8 for about 6oz of the tzaziki and hummus. Each. I'm attaching photos because I feel ripped off.

Service: We were seated and our oder was taken promptly. About 25 min after ordering we still had not received our appetizer of tzaziki which should be an already made item and should come out fast. They came by to say that the printer had run out of ink so the kitchen did not know about our order but that it would be out in 15 minutes; I highly doubt this was the case as we saw many tables get their food and shakes after we placed our food order. The appetizer arrived 7 minutes later and the food arrived 20 minutes later (total 50 min after ordering). The waitress did try to make amends by giving us a slice of cheesecake. The waitresses are very busy serving and maintaining all the hookas (ex: flipping and adding coals), and taking and serving orders. They should probably have staff to solely take care of the hookahs to avoid this lack of service. Or, they should just focus on the hookah which seems their main product. In terms of the food: -tzaziki: good but small amount for $6 compared to other Mediterranean restaurants of this caliber -kofta kabob: mild flavor, I needed to ask for hot sauce for a little more depth of flavor. -gyro platter: okay flavor but was too salty and over powered everything else. Other: there is large outside seating which is nice. I *think* the restaurant is BYOB as there was no bar section but I saw a table with bottles of wine. Overall the food was pretty good but did not outweigh the very long wait. For food, I would go elsewhere.

Habibi Plate: Two table spoons each of hummus and tzatziki on the Habibi plate. Rip off.

I ordered this on Uber eats. I hate to leave a bad review but there were multiple issues. The restaurant took so long to make the food our eta turned into an extra hour of waiting; the Uber driver was waiting at the restaurant for about a half hour whereas it should have been ready when he showed up. Second issue was the Habibi plate. The pictures here on Yelp and on Uber Eats showed plates with heaps of hummus and tzatziki sauce. Not what we got. We got ~2 tablespoons of each in those little ~quarter cup containers. What a joke. Will never return here. Maybe they are better in person but this experience was bad enough that I don't care to try. If you're ordering in pick somewhere else.

A small cozy corner. This place is a real delight. I was greeted when I walked in and sat down promptly. My Oder was taken in a timely manner and the wait staff was very attentive. The food was very good; it should be given a shot.

Habibi plate with extra falafel instead of dolmas.

Just OK. They are definitely more of a lounge than a place to eat. Also targeted at ~20 year olds
