The sandwich was on the smaller side, but I liked that it was crisped up, and the beef was juicy and flavorful. The feta fries were overcooked. So crispy and hard that a fork couldn't even puncture them. The cheese topping was okay and nicely spiced. Overall, the meal was a little overpriced for the size and cost, but the sandwich itself was tasty.

It comes with seasoned rice, few slices of pita bread, gyro meat, and salad. I usually have the salad removed and there's never an issue with my modification. The white sauce they put on top truly is divine. The pricing is within standard pricing as other Mediterranean restaurants. It's always hot and fresh. They have tables inside which are always clean and it's very quiet outside of some music playing. Overall this is one of two favorite gyro spots in Gainesville that I'd recommend others to try out!

I did not see at first due to looking for something that looked like the photos. The new location seems a lot larger with more seating indoor and outdoor. It also looks more modern less vintage vibes. Staff was kind and attentive. Food came less than five minutes after ordering, very fast service. I tried the curry tempeh sandwich which was very good. I was looking for a healthier option that had high protein and it really hit the spot. It had sprouts on the sandwich which I thought was a nice touch. The bread itself was also phenomenal in my opinion was a highlight of the meal. They also had a small portion of vegan pasta salad as a side and daily have a vegan soup option for those looking for something warm. Overall was grateful for delicious food that I can tell the owner put a lot of love and work into the menu. Options for everyone, we love to see it.

This would also be a great place to grab a beer and watch and game if you're in the middle for that. The sandwiches are fresh with the meat sliced when you order the sandwich. This is a cash only place so be aware of that. There is an atm if you don't have cash on hand. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area for lunch and in the mode for a sandwich. I recommend getting the sandwich toasted, but there is an option to get it cold.

The grocery offers most everything you'd want from a pan-Middle Eastern grocer: dry goods, teas, frozen food, fragrant waters, syrups, canned goods, et cetera. They also have a good selection of baklava and other treats by the front counter worth checking out: they get different sweets in sometimes--always baklava but sometimes also namoura cake and other things. When they have sari burma it's normally excellent, so look for that as well. They also have a good spice selection and try to include a lot of Turkish and Persian speciality items as well (this include Turkish frozen goods and yes, the pudding mixes also). The restaurant portion is a buffet and they have a hot bar and cold bar. The hot bar has traditional Egyptian foods and was very good when I tried it while the cold bar has things that could also be taken away like hummus, salads, and babaganoush. You can get the hot bar to-go as well, but having things like hummus is a big deal because you can purchase enough to have on hand for the week. I hope the restaurant continues to work out for them: buffets only make money if they have a lot of customers, so I really hope the community supports this fine establish and wonderful people who own and run it.

I would defiantly say if you're looking for a quick, reliable smoothie spot with great service then this is the spot for you.

The gyro had plenty of fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and everything tasted clean and simple. The chips were pretty standard and a small portion, and the pita itself was a little dry.
