As I was waiting a white woman (oh yeah im a black male) pulls up while he was making my food. He stopped to take her order and did and she went back to her car to wait. After that another gentleman pulled in same process went back to his car. Somehow for some reason the lady who order at least 5-6 minutes after me got her food before me and it wasn't a little item it was a full order. The guy then ask me before getting back in the truck what was my order again. Even if it was another black person he helped first I would have still be writing this review. However I do feel this was a little racially motivated. To him I wasn't as important as the white lady. He then also told if I was in a rush than I shouldn't have stopped. Such a disgusting person!!!

The Greek food was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, generous portions, and unbelievably well-priced. What truly made the night special was the hospitality. The owner and staff treated us like family from the moment we walked in. Warm, genuine, and incredibly welcoming. They even surprised us with a few treats, just because. I was there with coworkers, and they couldn't have made the evening any better. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great restaurants matter--amazing food, fair prices, and people who genuinely care. We'll absolutely be back.

There is seating available (4 tables) and you order at the deli counter. The service was great too- they told us ahead of time it may take some time to prepare what we ordered and made sure to bring it out once ready The food was delicious, very pleasant! We had: -Lahmacun: (A Turkish style pizza, flatbread dough topped with ground lamb.) this was so tasty!!! It was so fresh and the lamb was very well seasoned. It comes paired with lettuce, onions, and a lemon which you can add to it. -Kofte Kebab and Chicken Shish kebab platter: we asked if we could order the meats we wanted to eat and the owner said we could mix and match 2. We chose the kofte and chicken kebab an it Came plated with rice, bread, and salad. Everything was so good! The chicken was tender and tasty, and the kofta was also tasty although I may say a bit dry. Still good.

Overall good experience- definitely check it out if you're in the mood for Turkish food!
