    Chicken, Rice, Pita, Pasta Salad
    Andrea A.

    Got catered dinner from here for a class & it was quite tasty. I chose the option with chicken (very tender & could taste the char; the sautéed red onions were delicious), rice (perfectly cooked), and pasta salad (it was alright). The pita was classic. It came with a vinaigrette that I found too tangy; I wish it came with hummus. Overall, a great, healthy-feeling option. Cannot comment on service or ambiance. 7/10 would recommend!

    Desserts

    Delivery was decently fast for a huge order I made. All the portions were amazing and the value is definitely there, just was a little confused with $60 sultan kabab dinner I'm not sure if it was all included because it didn't seem like much. But everything else was amazing and the platters were good. Only gripe was the steak was quite chewy and the kafta was okay. Get the lamb and falafel for sure

    Another delicious meal at one of my regular places. Staff is friendly and find is always good. Thoroughly enjoying another meal...

    Greek salad and side of hummus (come with pita bread)
    Camille H.

    Staff was so rude! There was no one behind us in line and the lady at the register was rushing us and trying to just assume what we wanted. I asked her what the difference was in the salad sizes and she rolled her eyes and, very condescendingly and with exaggerated effort, lifted up a bowl and a plate. I ordered the greek salad (too much dressing) and the hummus (terrible taste) which came with pita bread (good). She put that in and then my mom was ordering. My mom said she'd have the same thing and the cashier just stared at her and didn't put anything in. So my mom repeated the order that I just said. Jeez. They also had the news (15% news, 85% commercials) blasting on a TV in the corner. Yikes. Also it's really run down and not very clean in there.

    The food came out pretty quick and I really enjoyed the beet salad. The chicken was pretty good and tender as well. However, for the price I think the portions could be a bit bigger.

    Pick 3 with Fava Beans, Beet Salad and Kale Salad
    Kellie D.

    First time here. Husband and I both ordered the 3 veggie platter-- lots of choices to pick from! I selected beet salad, fava beans and kale salad. Husband enjoyed falafel, fava beans and tatziki. Both platters came with pita. Kale salad was light, fava bean tomatoey and flavorful. Beet salad was my favorite. We also ordered sodas -- always appreciate a fountain drink machine that works well. Service was friendly and there was tons of eating space. We chose to eat outside because it was a beautiful day. Overall a nice place to grab lunch.

    We stumbled upon this digs in the Duke university and ventured in now my wife always rewrites the menu but the accommodated her with a smile as we seated ourselves people continued to file in place orders and wait patiently. The ambiance was very authentic as you can get in the medicine city Mediterranean sounds filled the air the scraping of the grill the smell of lamb chicken filled the air. We surveyed the menu I order the gyro platter with macaroni salad then the wife order the kabob platter with mixed meats of chicken and lamb we must say the taziki sauce was flavored with dill and cucumber which was different yet delicious the lamb was a little over cooked but the seasoning on both was delicious Overall is was a nice Mediterranean departure from the norm try it you might like it the locals do!

    chicken platter w/ hummus and salad. Lamb shawarma w/ fries.

    Quick, yummy, and cheap This place is a fantastic lunch spot when you want some quick Mediterranean fare. They have really good platters and wraps. Of note, they have a great lunch special - any wrap/sandwich + side + drink for 10.50. We got the chicken platter with hummus and salad. The hummus was fresh and delicious with a very generous portion. Perfect in combination with the toasted pita they give you. Chicken was on the drier side, but not bad. Salad was fresh. I also got a lamb shawarma wrap with fries. The wrap was absolutely delicious - meat was juicy with a healthy amount of white sauce on top. Fries were nothing special but doesn't matter because wrap was fiyah.

    Chicken Kabob Wrap

    I ordered delivery from here 4 stars more for the fast delivery service. I ordered the chicken kabob wrap and it had fries and pickles and yogurt sauce. It could have had more sauce and definitely more pickles. The flavor was really good and the pita bread was so fresh it really was good! Definitely will order from here again.

I…read moredidn't realize the restaurant was on the Michelin list but after trying the food, I believe it deserves some stars. The service was spectacular and I even met one of the managers at the end. He was great. I also love the interior of the building and loved the decor. Okay, let's get the important part... the food. We got the meze platter as an appetizer and it was delicious but I'm not sure if it was worth the price of nearly 50 dollars. The crab baklava was also a bit underwhelming. The puff pastry was flaky and well done but it had very little crab flavor. If they could increase the crab it would have been one of my favorites. For entrees we ordered pastitsio with spare ribs, soft shell crab and spicy seafood pasta. Each dish was very delicious and the flavors worked well together. The crab was by far my favorite and has a nice light and crispy fried breading that paired perfectly with the tangy sauce and fresh greens. (See pictures) I would a hundred percent recommend this dish and would encourage you to try the restaurant!!!

Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing, especially given the importance of the occasion and the amount we spent. The service was very slow, and the overall experience simply did not match the standard that brought us back in the first place. While the manager did apologize and brought an extra dish to the table, the repeated apologies did not really make up for the poor pacing and frustration during brunch. The menu has a lot of variety but there are no substitutions or adding protein to a salad.... But the food was good! Since the food took a while -spirits were dampened. This is a great place for two to four people but since we were a party over six, our server was guaranteed a 20 percent tip -so maybe there was no incentive for great service.

Service was as to be expected for this type of event. I got ONE glass of ice tea and no offer of a refill. We had a small menu to order from. The Caesar salad was divine !! Well dressed and shaved parmigiana. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and feta. Shrimp was well cooked but the feta did not taste like feta. It had NO taste at all. Not sure what would cause this. It had a red sauce that was OK. Hubby had a sirloin steak that was drowning with gravy and mushrooms. Did not look appetizing at all. For dessert we had chocolate cake, served with a dollop of whip cream and a strawberry. The outside seating looked lovely. We may be back to try that out.

    Let me begin by saying, the appetizers here are amazing--well, at least, all of the vegan ones…read more(most of which I've gotten). There's a green hummus??? Wow. Perhaps my favorite out of everything we got all night. However, although they do have a nice variety of vegan appetizers, they only have one vegan entree, the Golden Quinoa. It isn't bad, but it pales in comparison to the appetizers we've had. Additionally, over the past two years (during which we've come to parizade about 3 times, because we had a massive giftcard to use up), the quality of the entree has gone down somewhat. When we went last night, I was disappointed to feel that it was altogether underseasoned. It's also disappointing to see that they have not attempted to introduce or switch our their vegan entree in 2 years. The service also varies. Last night, our server was fantastic, and obviously very experienced, but on past visits we have gotten less experienced servers who have made our dining experience more uncomfortable rather than less so. Perhaps most frustrating is that only one out of three of the servers appeared to understand what it meant that we were vegan. Both of the others, after being told that we were vegan, recommended dishes which were not vegan (which we had to awkwardly tell them), or suggested we add protein to the quinoa dish (which, again, I don't think they have a vegan tofu to add--or if they did, he didn't tell us). I'm willing to have some grace on a server that is learning, but I think it's frankly unacceptable for a fine dining establishment to have wait staff who don't know how to accommodate vegan customers (especially when they literally have their vegan options labeled on the menu!). Generally speaking, a hefty giftcard to a fine dining restaurant should feel like a gift, not a burden. Because of the limited vegan options, however, using up our giftcard felt like something of a chore (and we ended up resorting friends with us the last time so that we could blow most of it on a few bottles of wine). If you aren't vegan, I'm sure you would enjoy this place. If you are, I think that there are much better fine dining experiences in the area. Even so, I'm rating this 4 stars because the appetizers, the wine, and the cocktails were all truly 5 stars.

The rice and vegetables were plentiful, plenty of chickpeas. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. My daughter gave the Chicken wrap a 7 out of 10.

Went for a semi casual lunch and it was a great option. The menu reflected solid Greek options, with both meat and veggie focused dishes. While everything tasted quite good, the lamb was incredibly tough. Despite being described as slow roasted, both in gyros and sandwiches the lamb was near inedible. Knives and teeth could barely cut through, and despite chewing some swallowed had to just be of larger chunks. The meat itself was tough and there was just so much connective tissue. Now it did taste good but the eating experience was quite disappointing. Portion sizes were generous, and pricing was fair. Even desserts were large and easily shared with full plate sized baklava and slices. Service was friendly, though a bit slow for lunch and especially this cuisine. Not sure if it was just a bad day for the meat but otherwise ur honeslty would have been a much better experience, but lamb that tough, it was just quite shocking.
