Food is okay. Don’t waste the extra $3 for the fries, not good at all.Bathrooms on the outside of building and tight seating.

The place is like a novel that is about to happen. It's like America in the 1950s all over again. Once you become a regular -- it doesn't take long -- they are happy to see you. They will call you by your first name. There are a lot of working people who come in there for lunch and middle management types with ties and shirts with rolled-up sleeves. They come there because the food is great and the servers are amazing. The servers draw happy pictures on your check saying thank you. You can watch them cook; it's a diner. I usually get a Greek Salad but the hamburgers and fries are great. So are the Gyros with the Tzatziki. Coffee is bottomless and you have to tell them to stop! The food is great and the service is great. It's like family.They are busiest from around 11:30 to about 1:30 PM. They close at 4 PM. They only open on weekdays. They take credit cards.Vegetarian options: Not vegan but you can get salad and sometimes vegetarian soup. It is Mediterranean so you should be able to work something out. Ask the staff what they would recommend.

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, it has a local family atmosphere and you feel welcomed. The food came out fast. The gyros in this restaurant are the best, and the Tazeki sauce is fantastic. I definitely would recommend this restaurant and the

Great food, lamb! friendly service, always smiling waitresses, small dinner old school feel. Love it! Only bad thing is the place is a little small and always busy but they make it work. All the employees hustle in there, but they don't make you feel rushed.

We've lived in the Cincinnati area almost 25 years and have been looking for a go to spot for our gyro fix ever since. Mission Accomplished!Fast, super friendly service, even at early lunch rush.Gyro served hot right off the grill and the fries right out of the fryer (be careful, lol).The Tzatziki is possibly the best I've ever had outside of my own kitchen. Even the feta is good.Ok, so the fries are crinkle cut but they are cooked perfectly and you get to season them to taste at the table.Enjoy!
