Ordered a meal for three. Classic pita with chicken, one with gyro meat and a kids meal. Everything was delicious and portions were good. Everyone there was friendly and my only complaint was the prices for the combos. Additional $5 for fries and a drink. Pita on its own was a little over $10 but what isn't expensive nowadays and I'm assuming they're doing what they can to stay afloat.

The service was good, although I likely won't be returning. The dish I had ordered in particular was a bit bland for my taste.

This evening I stopped by for a take away, they were out of rice and they said it would take 20 minutes to make some, so I ordered Gyro sandwich instead because I did not have the time. The wait was ridiculous and they were obviously short staffed, just 1 kid taking care of the called in orders and in restaurant ones as well. After 30 minutes of waiting I asked when would my order be ready, and why were they working on the order of the lady who came after me instead of my order?? The kid’s response was rude enough to make me decide to leave without my order. I wasted my time, my money, and above all, I was stressed for no reason. Very disappointing!!!

Got there right at opening for a quick early lunch. The chicken pita wrap was delicious, and they have a lot of variations/options for wraps, which I love! The tatziki was a nice big portion on the side, so my wrap wasn't soggy (to-go order). The fries were overpriced and not worth it in my opinion, I was mad at myself for getting them! But I'll be back. I've also had the lemon soup in the last when I was sick, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

Daphne's...it's time to say goodbye. I really enjoy Greek food but this spot is not what it used to be. Today I went in and purchased two items (see pictures) which cost a good amount of money. I asked the young lady for one small container of Tzatziki sauce for the chicken kabobs. I had to pay another $1.50 + tax for a small container (see picture). It's like being charged extra for ketchup after buying a mediocre burger. After reading your reviews, I guess I am not the only one who feels this way. It's these little things that make you not want to come back. It's time to find a new Greek spot.

I got the California chicken salad. Very bland. The tzatziki sauce they gave tasted like sour cream. I asked for another. She said they charge 1.60 for extra dressing. I'm sorry WHAT??? Really bad call on whoever decided that. Will not be coming back

I placed an online order at this restaurant 2 days ago. When I got back to my office and opened the bag, I saw they gave me the wrong item. I was mad at myself for not checking my order before I left the restaurant, as there were a number of items on my salad I don't like and had to pick off. I thought about calling to complain, but decided not to. I didn't want to drive back over there to get a new order. I begrudgingly ate what they gave me.About an hour later, a lady named Martha at Daphne's called me (using the phone number I provided in the online order), and asked me how my lunch was. I told her I didn't get what I ordered and I was bummed about it. She agreed and explained the mistake the kitchen made, and offered to make me what I ordered. I said I wouldn't be able to come back the same day, but I could come later in the week. She held true to her promise and I called today and spoke to Martha again, and she took care of everything and I picked up my free lunch.Never have I experienced a restaurant proactively reaching out to me and offering to make it right. That is great customer service!

Some of the worst Greek food I’ve had. I don’t see how this place got so many good reviews… I ordered a Loaded Bowl. The chicken and falafel were both incredibly dry, the gyro meat was too salty, and the rest of the bowl included just a few roughly chopped tomatoes, some shreds of cabbage and pickled onions, feta cheese, and pita over too much rice.

Been to this location twice and both times the chicken was dry and burnt. It tasted like they needed to clean their grill- gross. Probably why I was their only customer at dinner time. And not an ounce of seasoning on the fries..Won’t be back.

So, I order some food that comes with Tahini sauce and I want to change the sauce to Tzatziki sauce. Not get an extra sauce, just change one for the other. They want to charge me $1.60. Really? Instead I left and went to Natraj Indian food. I won't go back to Daphne's ever. Great job of running a business into the ground.

The food was OK. Not as good as they used to be. There used to a location near us in Orange and they were light years better. I would have given at least four stars but my wife and I both ordered Gyro pitas. We both ran out of the tzatziki sauce. I asked for more and the wanted $1.60. $1.60 for a tiny little container. What they gave us was only enough for 3/4 of the meal. I told the kid working there that they just lost a customer. He just looked at me like he could care less. Oh well for them.

I haven't been to a Daphne's in quite some time and after the experience I just had dint plan on going back. A few years back, Daphne's used to be my go to spot. They had good fast-casual greek food. I'm not sure what happened, but the food is not the same. On this visit, the restaurant was empty and quiet. There were only two employees working. One preparing food and a cashier. When I walked in, cashier was not around, so I tried to speak with the cook, but there was a language barrier. Luckily, after 5/7 minutes cashier appeared. I wanted to order the falafel pita and fries, to go. There was an option to add fries and drink for +$5.75. I told her I didn't want the beverage. I requested tahini, too. I didn't really pay attention to the price at time of checkout. Although it seemed a little high for what I had ordered. my order came up and I took it to my car and drove back home. I was starving and didn't even get. back to my apartment before breaking the food out. Immediately I noticed there were hardly any fries. As I dug into the bag for ketchup, there wasn't any. At this point I picked up the pita and took ta bite The falafel were small and dry, and quite frankly The Stand restaurant across the street has better crispy, well seasoned falafel. The pita was also dry, and the tahini was MIA. I reviewed my receipt and realized cashier had charged me full price for the fries without a beverage. Does that look like $5.75 worth of fries(see pic)? To summarize: Daphne's didn't not leave a good impression and I won't be going back anytime soon.

Definitely won’t be back. Roughly $20 for this salmon plate. I asked for no rice and double greens which were not fresh at all. Salmon was super dry and very very salty.Also had the dolmas, which seemed like they came from a can. Disappointed overall

The lemon chicken soup is the best. Chop up the kabob and mix it and the rice into the soup for a meal in a bowl. Em..em..good!
