First time visiting ever. The food was good. We had the banana sweet and it reminded us of banana bread pudding, Amazing. We ended up getting the lamb gyros. The cucumber on it with the other veggies gave it a good taste.
Delicious gyro and falafel sandwiches. Fluffiest of pita and phenomenal hummus. It's our new go to!
Thanks to seeing Karen check in here, and her Kofta plate picture looked super yummy, I happened to be just down the road to run an errand, so thought I'd stop for an early lunch. Half an hour into their opening time, walking inside, they were just starting their opening procedures. A father and son (?) run operation it looked to be. Looking at their Yelp pictures, I picked their Gyro Plate meal. The gentleman told me they didn't have the rice or fries made yet, and offered to give me double gyro meat as consolation. $8 for all the meat, a big scoop of hummus, and toppings. Good deal. Their hummus is different, and I actually liked the taste. Not sure what ingredients and spices they use, and I can't exactly describe the flavors, I would just say give it a try for yourself. Apart from their tzatziki sauce, they have a thicker dill yogurt sauce with diced tomatoes throughout, it was also a good addition to my gyro meat.
OMG! Soo much good, fresh food for the price of fast food...I ordered the GYRO Shawarma plate at drive thru and was surprised when he said $5.99-Normally I order that for at least $8.99. Not only that, Food was very good quality and fresh... Love the red cabbage that came with it, too... Thanks Yelp reviewers, I have a new favorite Greek place!
One of the best shawarma sandwiches I ever had . Clean and quick service . Will definitely come back
This is my second time visiting this place. The first time we ate inside and today I stopped by using the drive-thru - which is convenient! I love this place! The food is high quality and fresh, and the chicken shawarma is amazing! I also love the seasoned French fries! I took a pic of the shawarma - it's not the greatest pic, but gives you an idea of what they look like.
Let me tell you a story of this building. Many many moons ago it was a Popeye's. Then it was this other local fish and chicken place called Buckeye Express. Then it just sat there, sad and empty, for at least a year. I am so glad it's occupied again, and with a convenient and affordable Middle Eastern quick-service restaurant! The inside has been remodeled, and while small, is clean and nice. There are probably about 8 tables/booths inside for dining. I didn't realize there was a drive thru (major bonus) so we ordered take out inside. The gentleman who served us was very friendly, and offered us a sample of falafel while we waited! My husband ordered the kofta platter, which at $7.99 was a TON of delicious food. It came with rice, a blend of fresh tomato and cucumber, a big hunk of roasted eggplant, several pieces of kofta, and at least a half cup of creamy smooth hummus. Not only that, a slice of pita bread! Mine was the falafel platter, and for $5.99 was the same side dishes, but with fries and 6 falafel patties the size of a flattened ping-pong ball. You guys - we ate this for TWO meals it was so much, and it was super tasty and fresh too! You could also have just a pita/gyro with fries, drink, and your choice of filling for between $4 -7. The prep station looked very clean, and had a good variety of bright veggie toppings. I hope that this place does well, and doesn't compete too much with Kabob Grill (across the street) which also offers both Middle Eastern and Greek foods. There is room on the west side for all of the ethnic restaurants! If you're in the area, check this place out for a delicious meal that's easy on your wallet.
