Holy shoot this place was so good!! And the people who work there are incredibly kind. We brought a group of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores, and everyone was satisfied with their big and delicious gyros. The falafel is vegan and the gyro was packed with filling, and the hot sauce on the side was a great addition. My friend wasn't going to order anything, but then the chef made him something anyways. Not a ton of seating on the inside - maybe 4 or 5 tables? But it'll definitely be nice to sit outside in the summer. I'll definitely be back here! New road trip stop when I'm heading up north. read more

Quick, friendly and plentiful food. Small dining area inside. The crew was attentive and checked on us during our meal, showing they cared about the quality and service. My wife had the beef & lamb gyro and I had the beef & lamb shawarma plate; both had a lot of good food. loved the shawarma hummus and the pita bread was spot-on! We ate inside and it was cold. Bring a warm coat if you plan to dine there. This is the reason for 4 stars. Observed most patrons ordered takeout. read more

Outstanding! Mount Vernon needs this place soooo bad! Flavor for miles, respectable prices, warm, knowledgeable service, scratch-made Mediterranean with heart. What a fun neighborhood place. We had the chicken shawarma plate, the lamb and beef shawarma plate, the lentil soup (Oh. My. Goodness. Best ever! Think avgolemono, but light and lentil and sumac and parsley spiced - a cup of this will keep you alive, an inch from death. He needs to patent this...). And the baba ganoush- homemade, drizzled in olive oil and hard to stop eating. Make sure you order extra pita! A lively, lovely experience. Don't miss this! Get here before everyone figures out they're here, and you have to wait outside to get the goods... Highest recommendation. read more

I got the beef and lamb kebab plate. It came with salad, rice, hummus, and tzatziki sauce and a pita. The kebabs tasted ok but were not very juicy. They had a ton of garlic in them. The hummus was fine but the rice was too mushy. The overall taste was decent but I didn't find it authentic. read more

He assured me that he was saddened by my last experience with the waitress that treated me badly and how it wouldn't happen again. I am beyond grateful for the owner and the majority of the staff there for genuinely welcoming me like family. It means the world to me to have a nice place I can go with my family I will be back soon thanks again for all you do. It's such a nice and cozy atmosphere, you won't be disappointed going to visit this wonderful place. read more

Food: the gyro, hummus, and the rice served with the chicken shawarma were very good. The Greek salad and chicken shawarma were lackluster. Service: it was okay--not great, and not terrible Ambiance: small place with about four tables crammed together. Order at the counter and good luck getting a seat. We took ours to go.

Yum! Excellent pitas. Crispy, cold Greek salad, and yummy Greek fries. We ordered the beef and lamb pita (delicious huge, tons of meat), and a sandwich meal that came with a pita, Greek salad, and fries that we upgraded to Greek fries. It was a TON of food - we could easily have shared just the sandwich meal and both been full. This is a great takeaway option, but they do have a few small tables if you prefer to dine in. The staff/owners were friendly, funny, and knew lots of regulars by name. We will definitely be back! read more

Very friendly staff welcome you in. A greek style menu with a little more spice. This place is hopping. Very small inside, maybe seats for 15?, so you are better off planning to eat outside or take it home. It is not unusual for them to run out of food, so if you come in later the menu may be reduced. HIghlites of the menu for me are the Gyros, especially the Beef & Lamb, the Arabic Shawarma sandwich, and, if you aren't going back to work, a side of the Greek Fries laced with Feta and Garlic. This is a really small thing I like: a soda is $1.95. I can't tell you how many places charge up to $5 for a can of pop. These guys keep it real. (And there is a free water canister there also.) I really enjoyed the banter with the staff and the taste of the food. Do yourself a favor and check out this place. read more

After noticing the restaurant's huge number of five-star Google reviews, we decided to give it a try out of curiosity. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and the food came out quickly. We ordered their signature beef and lamb gyro along with the Greek fries. We were hungry enough that we forgot to take photos, but the portions were surprisingly generous. The Greek fries were packed with flavor, and the garlic sauce was rich and tasty. The gyro itself was solid, though fairly comparable to other gyro spots we've tried before. The only downside was that the garlic sauce was extremely salty--we found ourselves drinking water for the rest of the afternoon after lunch. Service was efficient and the food was satisfying overall, but the excessive saltiness kept this experience from being a five-star visit for us. read more

Large portions, lots of meat on the gyros, vegetables were crisp and fresh, just the right amount of sauce, and it was NOT greasy at all!

I occasionally wondered to myself: Why does Mount Vernon lack a solid Mediterranean restaurant? Well folks, after several decades a really good one arrived. It's a winner. The chef & staff are a cohesive group. If smiling is contagious that's the first impression. The restaurant itself is cozy. Ladies, bring a jacket if it's cold outside as being a smaller establishment means the air temp will drop quickly as the door to the entrance is opened. The food itself is a generous portion of delicious Mediterranean go to items. I had the Lamb/Beef Gyro. It was awesome. My partner had the lamb Shwarma which was equally terrific. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Easy 5 star recommendation. read more

First, the couscous is not the usual couscous we've all had. This is Lebanese couscous, which is so different as to be unrecognizable as "couscous". It is so very good, I could have a whole meal of that and be happy. I generally prefer baked falafels, but this fried one was great; crispy on the outside, and soft and green on the inside. I've avoided dolma in the past, as I had it once years ago and it was terrible. But this dolma was good enough for me to stop avoiding it in the future. People were very nice, and it took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready. It's a grocery store with a deep selection of many items, such as spices, pastas, canned fish, .... (see photos). I enjoyed this enough, I came back again about a week later for another Sampler Plate meal. My only slight peeves are, I wish there were a bit more to the salad (which isn't even listed as one of the sampler items, so a bit hard to complain!), and that the pita had some whole grains in it (I find white wheat boring).

We waited another 30+ mins for drinks and wine to arrive. Server brought drinks then left. 15-20 mins after that asked front of house to send our server so we may order. Before our food arrived (remember, we arrived at 6:15) it was almost dark outside! We asked for hummus/pita and Saganaki, they were delicious. moussaka (2) were full of potatoes (seriously, in moussaka?) no evidence of eggplant in either. 1 chicken dish was okay, and my falafel, dry, overcooked so hard when I put my fork into the pieces they shattered. A tiny dollop of tzatziki sauce (maybe a scant tablespoon) could not help this overly cooked dried entree . Had we not waited 1 1/2 hours I may have asked for a re-do. As it was, we just wanted to finish and leave. We have been here 3 or 4 times previously with no complaints, but this time it was a very unpleasant experience for $300+. Not recommended!

Karim and his staff were all so friendly, engaging and pleasant. I got the lamb and beef gyro, my friend got the chicken shawarma, we also got some falafel and all the food was excellent. The portions were large as well... we ate half and took the rest to go! definitely an awesome experience and I'm sad I live far away as we came up for pigs on the wings animal show. Will definitely stop in and say hi next time I'm up this way! Support an awesome host and business owner! read more

BEST SPOT EVER! We stopped here as a pit spot on our way up to see family in Canada and are completely blown away with the service and food quality. You can tell the food is made with heart and passion and the staff here love what they do. Our 19 month old completely devoured the food. We're so happy that we found this place by accident. This is going to be our go-to place every time we're on our road trip to see family. read more

This place was a very special experience, the food was amazing and the hospitality was the best we've experienced here in Skagit. Mediterranean food was a very underrepresented cuisine here and we basically ran to go try it when we saw it on the map. Steven and Kalim will take very good care of you and make sure you aren't left wanting for anything. We'll be coming back regularly and look forward to more delicious food read more

We stumbled on this hidden gem after a morning at the Tulip Fields. Upon arrival we were waited on by the owner/operator who was friendly and welcoming. The food (as well as the service) was beyond wonderful, the best Greek food I have ever eaten. Even though this eatery is out of the way of our regular travels north this will be a regular detour. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing greek food in Mt. Vernon! The staff is very friendly and the quality of their food is top notch. Their prices are very affordable and the portions will easily fill you up with leftovers to spare. There're so many places that serve burgers and tacos so give this new restaurant a try so we can have better food diversity in our community. read more
