The food was pretty good, and I'm looking forward to trying it again when the stars align. I really enjoyed their take on Greek fries and recommend those, maybe just as your entire meal.The word on this place is that they "are never open". The one time I went there wasn't anyone behind the counter when I walked in, and I had to wait a few minutes to be acknowledged. Poor me, I know, but that isn't very welcoming, and may result in some people not going in or just leaving which hurts their chances at success. Of course, this may have been a rare occurrence as my sample size is one visit. I tried to go again on a Sunday before a movie and, you guessed it, closed. I looked up their hours and they aren't open on weekends, so maybe that is why it seems that they are never open. It seems like a bad decision to not be open on weekends, but I'm sorta used to Athen's business hours which are all over the place and presumably designed to keep a business open just enough to appease students and bring in just enough money keep the doors open another month.

The food never disappoints, service is always friendly and quick. It's a great place to take our two-year-old for a casual meal with some space.

I loved the falafel with lentil rice. I wish they had a non plastic option to not have a lid and the utensils being reused instead the paper bowl is capped with a plastic lid and plastic wrapped utensils are really the only ding on and otherwise superb fresh and tasty experience. Definitely going to come often, I'll just bring my own reusable utensils now that I know.

Eating at this restaurant felt like being given a gift - so surprising and wonderful! The food is delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. I had falafel (yum!), hummus (creamy good!), lentil/rice mixture (amazing), lots of fresh vegetables with some homemade cabbage, and a pillowy soft pita. My meal was topped it off with a freshly made square of baklava. Oh. My. Gracious. I live in Parkersburg, W. Va., and I will drive back to Athens just to eat here! Additional info: clean, friendly staff, easy to order. It is set up like Chipotle but with a Mediterranean slant. (I would dare to say, they may have moved above Chipotle in my list of favorite, quick, healthy places to eat, and that is saying something!)

I visited this restaurant because I wanted Greek food. More importantly, Firdous had an excellent write-up in the Athens News so I had to try it! It did not disappoint! The establishment is very modern, clean and has a nice area to eat in. I had the Gyro on pita bread and it was delicious. All of the ingredients were very fresh and delicious and the house sauce was to die for! The owners are very friendly and accommodating - I will surely visit again. This is my Greek outlet from now on!

We were visiting OU and found this gem…great vegan options. The tofu was THE BEST tofu we’ve ever eaten. Fresh food, quick, easy and we even chatted with the owner who was so nice. We will definitely be back!

We really like the food at this place. So we drove an hour today to get some lunch, only to learn they are closed. Seems they are away o. Vacation. Too bad Google couldn't tell us that. Very disappointed, but will come again.

Great place for a bowl. Lots of choices for meat or veg's. I love both the tofu and the falafel proteins. They have a nice choice of dressings as well. Huge portions, I can eat 1/2 for lunch and have more for a late night snack! Place is always clean, food always looks very fresh and the service has always been with a smile!
