My one star review is generous and here's why: 1) The food is rubbish. There is literally no taste in the beef/lamb gyro. The meat pieces are dry, hard and chewy when a gyro is supposed to be moist and tender. The only thing half decent were the fries and they didn't bother putting salt on them or even in the takeout bag. 2) Their card machine wasn't functioning so I had to go find an ATM for cash. 3) They advertise closing at 8:30pm. I went in at 7pm to dine in and sat down. The woman behind the counter took my order and I was eagerly expecting a decent meal. While I was waiting she walked to the entrance and closed the door and started turning off the lights. I knew I was hosed at this point because she looked intent on closing shop. She then went and told the chefs "finito guys we are closing." A customer walked in right after and she turned him down and said they were closed. 4) She brings over my food in a takeout bag to which my reaction in my mind was wow WTF??? If people think this is a good gyro then you lot don't know a good gyro. I spent a week in Turkey and I can tell you one thing, the gyro here isn't even fit to serve a dog. Stay away from this place. Oh and almost $20 for this? Not worth $10.

Delish gyro plates! Generous portions, yummy tzatziki sauce. The rice is particularly good. Super friendly folks. What a sweet spot!
Well-priced, fast, tasty Mediterranean food, what more could I ask for? The mixed gyro platter was good, the meat was real meat not the mystery particle board meat some places use. Because it is lower fat it is a bit more dry but I wanted something healthy and this was just right. It's a basic little hole in the wall place; nothing really to speak of in terms of ambiance or service but the food was good. J.Ja

Today I purchased the beef and lamb gyro platter. I also purchased hummus and pitta on the side. The meat was so dry and sliced as if it was meant to be beef jerky. It was not good at all. And I really wanted to love it! The hummus was good, however they don’t give a good ratio of hummus and pitta bread. Loads oh hummus for almost $7 and one pitta sliced up. I would come back to try something different and buy the hummus again!Staff was friendly. Parking was busy during lunch time and meter pay. Took about 15 minutes from time of ordering to get the food. I spent $21.75 and a 15% tip.

I love bureks and lentil soup, everything fresh and friendly staff! Highly recommended!!!
Friendly staff but food is bad here. I had the spinach Burek, roasted Brussels sprouts and the Kofte Kabab platter. All food was reheated and tasted worse than gas station food.

Went here for a quick dinner before a concert, really quick service, amazing food, and really good prices per portion, 10 dollars for 3 tacos stuffed with meat was amazing, everything is really filling for its size! only downside is the lack of table space and people hanging around outside but that's not their fault. They make good space with what they have available just kind of cramped, amazing food overall if you're in Albany and like food of this nature and thats not too heavy for a concert for a decent price this is the spot to go!

I went there yesterday evening 1/23/24. I was greeted with smiles and great energy.The customer service is very welcoming. I ordered a chicken and rice platter with salad.The food did not take long.. less than 7 minutes and was VERY FRESH. It even came with a roll on the side ? .The rice and chicken looked very authentic and taste really good. I was very impressed. Lastly the hospitality and welcoming to try the food on their menu and eat in their establishment is quite astonishing.Recommend!
