Homeless came in to get free drinks, which is fine but stink up the whole place for customers eating inside.

If you’ve ever had authentic greek food, then this place will be mediocre at best. The pita really isn’t pita and neither is the tzatziki, but food is overall ok, and the orders came pretty fast.

Awesome food!

For what a bit of chicken with rice plug bread and salad worth $18? A got-chu establishment, that's what this place is.

Not a fan of them using pickles in the tzatziki sauce. Made it taste like tatar

I ordered a gyro and Greek fries with garlic and feta. The fries were cold. If I had time to return them, I definitely would’ve, but I couldn’t. There is nothing worse than cold french fries I mean they were not even warm.

I've had many good experiences and I usually enjoy the food. This last time I ordered a gyro and "Nick fries" and they literally poured garlic on it. I'm not talking some garlic. I love garlic. This literally burned my mouth there was so much. I let a couple buddies try to get a second opinion and they could not stand it. Stick with the gyro!

The food was ok, but the wrap was a mess. I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. They definitely like their onions. I got the chicken wrap and again it was average. The baklava was kind of dry like it wasn't the best..

I ordered the Souvlaki chicken gyro bowl and it was fantastic! I am gluten-free and everything in the bowl was safe. The bowl is half yellow rice and half lettuce with chunks of red onion, tomatoes and cucumber, then topped with a super yummy sauce! I went inside for a pick up and it is very nice and clean. The staff was also very friendly! I asked if there was any flour or gluten in their french fries and there is not. However, they do share a fryer with gluten/wheat items so if you are sensitive to cross-contamination, that is not a good option. I will be coming back for sure!

Nice place, the food is a fresh and "healthier" fast food alternative. It's also made me crave going back for more.

Food was great, but tasted like they dumped an entire container of garlic salt on top of the fries. It was so intense that my husband and I were tasting garlic for two days would not recommend the fries.
