    I would like to give a shout out to Pavlov we can on a busy Sunday. Our from was originally 7 then it changed to 10 and I didn't know who called it in. However, Pavlov not only took care of it himself he made us feel welcome and not to worry. Food was delicious! My bacon was crispy the way I like it. Definitely I would say a dive and dinner vibe. Felt like a good atmosphere and we overall had a great time!

    I came to visit my family for a couple days and on the morning of my leaving,my family surprised me with breakfast at this fine restaurant. I don't have pictures but the ambiance was nice as well. There was a bit of a line when we walked in but it moved through fast. We were seated at a booth and our waitress greeted us right away and took our drink orders. I asked for hot tea and it was good. I ordered the 1+1+1+ 1 which is one egg,one strip of bacon,one sausage link and one piece of French toast. It was a hearty portion and very filling. I also ordered the fresh fruit cup which was also good. I highly recommended this cafe for anyone who wants to support a local business not a chain.

    Wow, I can't believe it's such a long time since I updated my My Review here. This is a great Greek breakfast and luncheonette. I had what was called the timber Pines. I think they had mushrooms and peppers and onions when I substituted more mushrooms for the spinach. it was so delicious. I got fried bread on the side and ice water with lemon. I don't drink a lot of soda or alcohol, milk yes and water yes. The prices are about the same as all the other restaurants around. The waitresses are great and have a good sense of humor. Of course it is Greek owned and you can tell that just by how good the food is. Come give it a try you'll like it.

    Best place to eat in Spring Hill we have been coming here since we moved to Spring Hill 2 years ago. Great mom and pop with great food, always clean and friendly. The sons are both kind and professional, never had an issue. Sometimes the servers will be a little slow but they are always packed and busy! Best gyros! Best sandwiches and best fries! And when Gale makes the sweet tea it's the best!! If your expectations is for something fancy and no flavor take your butt somewhere else. This place isn't for you. If you can't be respectful for a family owned business that the kids help the parents because they want too not because they have too don't waste their time by going, if your bias against young people, if your just going to be a negative person, and can't appreciate the next generation is working to keep this family's dream, then take your old, grumpy butt somewhere else. There are lots of places in Spring Hill that are just ok. This is not one of them! This place is exceptional! Thank you for always taking care of us when we come in and food is always delicious!

    Stopped in today for first time was greeted immediately by the host working front counter. Was sat immediately, we had to wait for a bit but two servers came by, one got our drinks the other explained they were short handed and the servers were also cooking. We waited a bit for the food and were treated to piping hot fresh food and a couple of the fluffiest pancakes Ive had. I had a corned beef hash omelette, which was delicious. The place had a great chill vibe and was very clean. Although they are in need of some extra kitchen staff this place was definitely on their game.

    Since it was Sunday, it was time for a breakfast out, and hubby and I picked a local place that we hadn't yet been to. Arrived at 10:45 and it looked like it was packed, but we managed to get a table immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and served us quickly, which is especially important when you need coffee desperately. As we waited for our order (2 + 2+2+2) to arrive, I noticed the continuous arrival of large parties. Some people were greeted by first name, letting us know this place has many regular customers. Our orders arrived and we both enjoyed our meals. My husband kept commenting "I would definitely recommend this place, and come back again." BUT - bring cash - they add on a surcharge if you use a credit card!!

We picked up the food from the restaurant in 20 minutes. The smell of the food was great and it raised our hopes for great and delicious food. We ate at home. It smell really good, but the taste was a bit lacking, it was like it needed some more seasoning. So, I would say, the food was okay, not great.

    Celebrated the last kid obtaining their drivers license, sigh, where does the time go!?…read more New restaurant to us, but we wanted Mediterranean near to the DMV. Glad we went. Restaurant was clean, white table cloths, older decor and booths, but cute. Place was full of two large family groups celebrating the holidays together. Bathroom could use a better cleaning and update. We decided to get a small appetizer plate: Humus, Baba Ghanhuj, Falafel, Labneh, we opted for no grape leaves as we don't prefer them and got extra falafel instead. Portion was great. Our favorites were the Labneh absolutely delicious and perfect taste and texture, humus was seasoned perfectly and falafel was good, but I can't say it was amazing though, something was missing in taste to me. We also ordered the mixed meat entree, portion was large, no way I could have eaten it alone! We shared and still had left overs. The entree came with Kufta Kabob, beef shawarma, chicken kabobs, beef shish kabob, tzatziki, fattoush salad, pita, basmati rice. We had wanted a side of extra tzatziki but instead received a large side dish of tzatziki (we let it go, but neither of us truly enjoyed the tzatziki that much. It was bland to our liking). The one thing we absolutely did not like was the bland, no dressing fattoush salad. It literally had no dressing, no taste, not recommended at all, as the side. So here's what we did like a lot was the chicken kabobs, beef shawarma, basmati rice, beef shish kebabs, kufta kabobs, humus, and loved the Labneh on and with everything. The chicken kabobs were our favorite meat, tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly! We truly enjoyed and savored the Pistachio Baklava, so yummy for dessert! Overall we gave the place a 4 out of 5. We enjoyed our food, service was attentive and friendly. We had to downgrade from a 5 because we did not like the no dressing fattoush salad and the tzatziki tasted bland to us (we are used to the more Greek style). We will be back to try some other dishes!

You take a menu and they ask you if it's to go or if you want to sit out on the back patio, where they offer about seven tables all under umbrellas. The decor is very cute, full of flowers. Some live flowers and wall hangers welcoming you. The food was absolutely phenomenal! My gyro was extremely fat and full of meat. The sauce was excellent and they use authentic Greek yogurt instead of the cucumber sauce and it's very very good. The sandwich and the fries were so much that I couldn't eat them all. It's enough for a second meal. Everything is clean, great service, great food. If you have not yet tried Pitaluv I highly recommend you give it a try. This is by far the best combo greek/ American place that I have found. And like I said, they treat you like your family. It's not fake like some of the other Greek places. I'm very happy and if I could give them 10 stars, I would, this is a very highly recommended little restaurant and you have to try it. It is that phenomenal. They cook even came out and asked me if my PETA bread had been toasted to my happiness, and I was surprised with that as well. They care about their food and they care about the authenticity of their food. I can't wait to go back again, and I will be bringing other people with me as well. I hope you take the time to give this little restaurant a try. I know you won't regret it! Bravo, well done! There is a handicapped parking spot plenty of room for handicap wheelchairs or whatever on the back patio you can get into the store if you're handicapped as well. I didn't go into the restroom so I don't know if it had a handicap stall. I would say this place is great for all kinds of people whether it's kids or adults or small parties. But if you're gonna have a large party, consider them for food.

I…read morewent with the Shish Tawook two grilled chicken skewers that come with your choice of sides. I picked the hummus and salad, both of which were super light and refreshing. The only miss for me was the raw white part of the green onions in the salad, they were a bit too chunky for my taste. The chicken, though? Perfectly grilled...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It came with a tzatziki sauce that was more on the liquidy side, which isn't my favorite texture, so I just used it as a dip for the chicken and hummus. Heads-up: the menu on their official site isn't updated, but if you Google "Tasty Mediterranean," it shows accurate prices and lets you order online. It came out to $17.99 plus tax , which is a little pricey for lunch, but the portions were solid and the staff were super friendly so no complaints there!
