    -service was so personable and lovely! -told them we had a bday in our party and they brought us complimentary baklava roll -steak medallions were wonderfully cooked -gyro (eaten by someone else in party) was average -skewers were also cooked well but very salty -mocktails were beautiful and the cherry one was my fav; others were slightly too sweet for me (nyx and Athena mocktails) -calamari wasn't overly greasy and lemon aioli sauce was light and great to dip in -hummus was very acidic for my liking; would maybe try a different spread -everything unfortunately was overly salted; think they might've been heavy handed today -above being said, would come back for the friendly service and to try other menu items

    Wanted to really love this place as it seems so authentic! Good lamb chops, lamb gyro, and baklava. For the price of the lamp chops, I wanted to be really wowed - but it was decent. The baklava was too sweet but to be expected when you're dining in the South. Our server was friendly and kind and overall it was a lovely dinner experience.

    Recently visited VAS for a girls night out. We had a table for 8 on the outdoor patio. Love the Mama Mia style ambiance consisting of soft blues and rustic neutrals. They have a great assortment of wine, cocktails and mocktails. For appetizers we had baked feta with a glaze reduction along with warm olives and spicy red pepper hummus and pita bread. For dinner we shared small plates of perfectly seasoned and seated roasted vegetables, lemon potatoes and orzo. Others had lamb and chicken gyros that are truly authentic - large knife and fork style meals here!! For a fun night out downtown Roswell for great Greek food, good service, and a fun warm ambiance Vas is the place!

    VAS Kouzina was amazing!! We went at a weird time, 4:15 pm on a Saturday, so we were pretty much the only ones there. We ate outside and it was great! Nicholas was our waiter. He was so attentive and friendly. Here's what we got: - Three Spreads (Melitsanosalata Eggplant Spread, Revithosalata Hummus, Tirokafteri Spicy Feta Spread) ($14.99): So, so delicious! Great deal to try 3 different spreads. The Tirolafteri was not spicy at all. - Goat Cheese ($8.49): Fried goat cheese balls in balsamic vinaigrette. So good! - Traditional Gyro ($11.29): Amazing, especially with the tzatziki. - Lamb Gyro ($13.29): Amazing again, especially with the tzatziki. - Spanaki ($10.49): Super good! - Americana Greek ($10.99): So much feta and lots of other toppings! Amazing! - Roasted Cauliflower ($7.49): So good and lemony! They also brought out a dessert sampler, on the chef, with baklava rolls and something with honey walnut. The dessert was so good and next time we go back, we will definitely be ordering! We loved every single thing we got. The prices are so fair and the portions are generous. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We will 100% be back!

    Honestly do not understand the hype of this place whatsoever. There's parking near by but it is somewhat difficult to find spots if it's a busy night. We had a reservation for 8 people to sit outside. We were seated pretty quickly. The horrible part was that they seated this huge party right where the fans didn't hit us. So we were very uncomfortable with the heat when they had ensured us there would be fans to cool us down. We asked REPEATEDLY if we could move the fan to hit us because the other tables had mostly cleared out. We even asked other tables if they were ok if we could move the fan and they were. Our server was trying his best however it was the managers decision. We slightly turned the fan after over 45 minutes of asking. The manager came out and yelled at us even though we had asked about this MULTIPLE times. Anyways other than the manager being rude to us. The food wasn't all that great either. We had gotten a few of the dips but definitely not the best in the city. The dips at Kyma are much more delectable. Everything had so much salt too! The octopus I would say was the best but still a bit too salty for me. The octopus however is what makes this a two star review and not one. I ordered a gyro and the meat in the gyro was too thick. In typical Greek restaurants, it's supposed to be a thin slice of meat. Overall, not great and there are plenty of other good restaurants in downtown Alpharetta to go to instead.

    Let start with saying the service was really good. We sat outside because it was a nice day and they had heaters. We are so much good food! The calamari was on point and we had a whole fish. You can ask for the head removed and debone which I asked for it all. That was enough for both of us to share. The service was on point as it was fast and the server was very knowledgeable. We will be back!

    We went out for a birthday celebration and divided that we were just going to nosh on some apps. Vita was wonderful! She helped us pick things out and the food came out a little at a time and we enjoyed eveerything. Nice atmosphere get staff and excellent food.

I wanted from the Roswell location and their site makes it difficult to pick a locale. In calling, neither location could guide me on navigating the site. After much frustration, I placed my $600 order at the Roswell store. I asked for delivery which is offered on web. The man answering the phone very rudely said "we don't deliver today!" Translation, they were not staffed for what is advertised. I asked for a manager at both locations and didn't have one of those either. Only broken English folks answering who could not answer questions but only repeat "no manager here, no manager here!" I had my 69 year old female friend pick up. Another epic fail. She goes in to retrieve food expecting help of course. Instead the one employee there handed her a rolling cart to take out and load herself! The rickety cart had no brakes so as it's trying to take off across the parking lot, a passerby helped. As she loaded, lemon chicken juice was sloshing all into her car as it was not wrapped properly. Let me mention that there was only 1 diner there yet the one employee could not help. Now, the food. Horrendous. The gyro meat was so dry no one ate the several pounds purchased. So dry that even the ends were curled! Pictured is the burnt sausage. Completely inedible as well as my receipt, confirming the cost. Needless to say none of our 11 guests will be going back or getting to go. Yes. $600 for 11. In fairness, we overordeted so guests could bring more home. Into the garbage it went instead. Save your hard earned money! Try Dina's instead. Authentic Greek and Italian fair by a beautiful Greek family. They have been at this location for almost 40 years! https://sites.google.com/view/dinas-family-restaurant/home

Instead of the typical 2-3 dishes, they offered a whole range of options. The experience was great. We sat outside on a quiet patio, tucked away from the busy main street.

On the positive side, the meat was very tender and juicy. Sometimes you get the outer layer of the spit, and it ends up too crusty or dry, but this was done really well, moist and flavorful. The pita was a bit smaller than others I've had, but at $8.75 (especially when many places are charging $12 now), the portion seemed fair for the price. What I really didn't enjoy were the fries. They were the thick-cut steak fries straight from a frozen bag, dressed up with some oregano and seasoning and served with a dipping sauce, but still just not good. That kind of fry never works for me. The taziki was okay but not bursting with flavor. A little thin. The produce seemed fresh, though there was a lot of iceberg lettuce on top, again, not bad, just unremarkable. The interior of the restaurant felt a bit bland, clearly repurposed from a previous establishment without much effort put into ambience. On the plus side, the service was very fast. I had my food in less than five minutes, so it's definitely a solid option for a quick lunch. The staff was reasonably friendly and efficient. In the end, it was all just... fine. But with so many better gyro options around, I probably won't be back.
