“I passed by it a couple of times and thought it looked so neat but I was trying to skip traffic . I was need up staying and giving them a try today and I am so glad I did. The Gyro platter was a perfect non American Gyro so I give the presentation and taste a 10/10”
“Food: The Greek salad with chicken was delicious, and the portion was very generous. The chicken was flavorful, and the amount of Greek dressing was just right. That said—$27 after tax with no drink feels pretty steep for chicken and chopped, raw vegetables. I still give it a 5/5 — just something to consider. Atmosphere: Clean, modern, and inviting. I really liked the decor and the music. Service: The service was good. Nothing to complain about—everything was smooth and pleasant.”
“best gyro i’ve had in my life fr the meat was super tender when other places are usually dry and the supporting ingredients were fresh. I have no notes on the pita, they did a great job all round”
“Great spot after a night out. I love how it was still open after 3am. David was a wonder host for our orders and was very hospitable! Food was delicious and the variety is superb. I would come back again for sure.”
“Super cute corner spot. They have a lot of yummy options (vegetarian options too). We had the gyro, vegetarian souvlaki, and spicy feta. Then, for dessert, a really helpful employee, David, recommended the baklava! It was softer but tasted good! The patio is really nice in the summer. They do a walk-up order, window (or counter) pick-up. The employees are extremely kind and thoughtful. Excited to go back!”
“Wow. Best gyro. The meat was super flavorful and loved the char on the end bits. We had the gyro sandwich and gyro plate. If you get the gyro plate I recommend ordering extra pita and tomato to help balance the meat ratio-there’s quite a bit of meat.”
“First time visiting, and what a wonderful spot. Everything from the Freddo coffee, to the bougatsa and the spanakopites, was fantastic. For a fellow Greek, it feels as if you’re right in a xorio in Greece. Equally love being able to purchase Greek grocery products as if it’s a quaint mini mart. Definitely a must check out.”
