    Gyro and fries (those fries!!!! )
    Rachel G.

    Driving through on our way to Houston and needed sustenance. Yelp once again came through! Y'all. If you aren't here, WHY?!?! There's no reason this place should be nearly empty during lunch! Fresh and delicious food. Service was friendly and quick. And such a cute spot! If you're driving through town, do yourself a favor and get off the beaten path a little and have some falafel and Turkish coffee!

    Mmm

    It's always a great time seeing Jaffar! Really great food and company! Great service, and relaxing vibes. Thanks Chef!

    The design is truly amazing

    The food is delicious & the owner is very kind. Even the design from the walls is truly amazing.

    Falafel Platter and Greek Fries

    Wife and I made this our First stop in Van Alstyne. She ordered the Falafel platter with a side of greek fries and I had their gyro platter. Holy Moly !!! We have had Mediterranean all across the U.S. But, here we found the BEST Falafels and AWESOME Gyros. Now, we're off to visit to visit our daughter and son-in-law with their 3 girls. We're ALL going back to Jafar together for another wonderful meal

    Great service from a couple of nice men who cooked and served. The old building restored for the restaurant was interesting to visit. Food was good. Not exceptional, but good quality and taste.

    First time driving out to Van Aylstine, and I stumbled upon this place with a friend. This place had really tasty food. Nothing fancy inside or with the menu; just good food. There were two people working and they were great! The gyro plate was just delicious. Very fresh! Honestly it's the best I've had since moving to Texas. Great portions to price. Also tried the Turkish coffee that was delicious as well. Definitely will make it back out this way to try some different items. Great gem of a place!

    First time trying this place out. I ordered the gyro salad, hummus sampler, dolmas, and falafel. Humans was my favorite. I enjoyed the 4 distinct flavors. The salad was flavorful and filling. The dolmas were tangy, filling and fresh. The falafel was crunchy on the outside some moisture inside. I like the shape of them especially for dipping. I enjoyed this food. I can tell there has been some thought put into it. I will be sure to revisit soon.

    Fantastic choice in Van Alstyne. Incredible food and a very cool setting. The mural of the Haram al-Sharif is especially beautiful.

    Looking for something new to try in north Dallas we stumbled upon Platia Greek Kouzina in Frisco…read morejust across for the Stonebriar mall. Given it was 12:30pm we were happy to see this place was quite full but still had a table for the 2 of us inside. There is a terrace which might be an option for our next visit. Yea you read that right, we will definitely be back. For lunch we ordered the octopus appetizer which was nice a tender, perfectly grilled and simply served with the most perfect vinaigrette. Nothing more than a little squeeze of lemon over it and you could have brought me a dozen more. But we had to save room for our mains. I chose the gyros salad and my wife the baked haddock with Greek potatoes and string beans. Both dishes were perfect. Not too fancy and just what the doctor ordered. Overheard several tables around us that they were repeat customers so we must have stumbled on to something good. So if you are thinking Greek, check this place out. You won't be disappointed

    I love greek food, and this place looked promising on Yelp, and delivered!…read more We wanted a light lunch. I knew from studying the menu that had a couple options of combo plates. One was vegetarian (think Falafel, dolmas, etc). But the other one - The Mana You - really caught my eye: pastitsio(!!!), dolmades, chicken souvlaki, gyros, tzatziki and pita bread. + 2 sides, we got the greek beans and Lemon potatoes​ We opted to add a side greek salad for an additional $4.50. It also comes with a yogurt dip (so good that we asked our waiter for more and he happily obliged. We polished off every bit, but were full and satisfied. Next time I am in the area, we will be back!

    Work lunches just hit different when it's from here…read more There were six of us, and somehow we all collectively agreed that one full order of feta fries would be enough... which is adorable in hindsight. Because those fries? Not "shareable." Not "optional." These are crack fries (respectfully). Crispy, hot, loaded with feta and that house sauce doing its thing. Gone in record time. No regrets. Everyone else branched out with different bowls and salads--chicken bowls over basmati, fresh Mediterranean salads stacked with feta, olives, all the good stuff--but me? I stay loyal. The Spicy 360 wrap is my go-to--and let's be very clear--gyro meat only (as it should be ). And somehow... today it leveled up. Like, I took a bite and had a full "hold on" moment. The gyro meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and paired with those fresh jalapeños, sautéed onions and mushrooms? Unreal. Then the house sauce comes in and just ties the whole thing together like it knows it's the main character. I genuinely didn't think it could get better, and yet--here we are. Now--important note from your resident "dressing on the side" girl: if you forget to ask for light sauce or on the side, they do not play about it it can feel like a lot. BUT for the rest of my group? That sauce is basically a personality trait. The kind of "I'd throw my whole diet away for this" situation. So just know yourself and plan accordingly--but absolutely try the house sauce on something. It's too good not to. And the staff? Always kind, always helpful, never making you feel rushed even when it's busy. It's one of those places where you can sit, eat, talk a little shop, laugh a lot, and forget you're technically on a lunch break. Consistently good food, good people, and a solid excuse to abandon your sad desk lunch. We'll absolutely keep this one in heavy rotation.

    I came here for happy hour with friends after seeing it featured on Dallasites, and I'll start with…read morethe positives , this place is gorgeous. The pink dining room in the back is adorable and Instagram-worthy, and the patio feels like you've been transported to the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the service and food didn't live up to the setting. We arrived right at 5 PM and had even called ahead to confirm the happy hour menu. When we got there, we were told the menu had changed. Fine, we adjusted and placed our order at 5:30. By 6 PM, only half of it had arrived, and when we asked about the missing items, they wouldn't honor the happy hour pricing even though this was the first thing we ordered when we arrived. The meatballs were what we were most excited to try, but after waiting 40 minutes (with all of our other food already out), they still hadn't arrived. On top of that, our drinks took over 30 minutes and multiple reminders to finally show up. The happy hour deals for drinks were great, drinks were 1/2 off and they do $5 Lalo tequila. Maybe it was just an off day, but between the slow service, missing items, and mixed-up pricing, the experience was pretty disappointing - especially considering how beautiful the space is.

    Drinks and food were GREAT! We ordered the squash blossoms, meatballs, dip trio, spanakopita, and…read moreshrimp pasta. Loved it all. Definitely get the squash blossoms if they have them. I thought every bring was very flavorful and presented beautifully. Excited to go back and try other dishes. Complaint - service was slow. We went on a Wednesday and it wasn't super crowded, but our waitress barely checked on us.
