Small, filthy, and not at all what I expected from the online menu. Not Mediterranean food. Some Americanized disaster that tastes like it the food is about to or has just gone bad. The french fries are good, but that's it. I talked to the lady working by herself, since she started off by telling us that the boy she had close the night before hadn't cleaned. She started working here in August of 2023 and started implementing changes like adding pepperocinis to the dolmas and added nontraditional ingredients to the lamb stew. She said her previous experience was working in a Chinese restaurant.I got a lamb gyro, which is something I have ordered from dozens of Mediterranean and Greek restaurants all over the country. Never once did the gyro come with nearly spoiled meat that was drowned in some strange brown sauce with cooked onions on a bed of french fries placed atop a store bought pita anywhere but here. And why the hell does it cost an extra $1.50 each for olives and feta?! Those are supposed to come on the gyro! The hummus was a strange consistency and seemed to have sesame seeds or something in it. The dolmas were sloppy and soggy.As I sat there trying to 'enjoy' (endure) this meal, she began taking chunks of meat from an improperly stored container and skewering them onto a spit. I stopped eating at that point. I have worked in a Greek restaurant before and never saw something so disgusting.To top it all off, my friend and I spent $50 on food that should have been half that price when made fresh and correctly. There was no light, fresh flavors that one would expect. It had the feel and flavors of an old, greasy fast food joint.I highly recommend going anywhere else. I can see now why the reviews have gotten so bad over the last several months. The lady said the owner lives in Hawaii. Perhaps the owner should pay a visit before this place runs itself out of business.

I really wanted to have a great review for this place. Staff kept saying it was authentic. We ordered lamb. The lamb was drowned in some sorta dark sauce and so salty we threw half of it away. Lamb has a great flavor on its own, but I couldn't even tell if it was lamb. The only table was covered in what looked like a baby clothes rummage sale. I really hope they turn things around or they just won't make it.

Im not sure why the ratings at this place are so high. Our chicken tasted like fish. Sure, it was affordable but not worth it when you don’t end up finishing your meal. The Greek fries were okay and really the only part of the meal we finished. The staff was nice though.

Use to be really decent, great portion sizes and left with a full stomach. It also helped it was self serve for all of the salad. Not sure what’s happened recently, no more self served and the portion sizes wouldn’t fill a small child. Won’t be coming back.

This little hidden gem is absolutely delicious and affordable! We were lucky enough to have stumbled upon it while visiting our son who is a student at OSU. There were four of us and we ordered three lamb gyros and one chicken. You get three toppings and can add more for an upcharge. We did add feta , which I recommend. The homemade pickles are absolutely delicious 5 stars for those alone. Wonderful customer service and completely affordable. Perfect for a student on a budget!!

I like that you can choose exactly what veggies and sauce you want.

I have eaten here before, and it was fine, but this time was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had eating out. I did not eat what I ordered because I was not confident of its safety. I am unable to eat gluten, so I went here in hopes to get something I have ordered here before without issue: a gyro with rice instead of pita. Easy. However, I’m not sure if the management changed, or what, but they tried to convince me a meal that previously cost ~$9 now cost $16 because it had rice. I couldn’t afford that, so I was pressured into a salad instead for $12 (everything but the pita, but for $4 more). The salad portion was from a cold bar on which every ingredient looked old (previous times they had been fresh). The sauce bottles were so crusty the sauce wouldn’t come out (they used to put them in little single serve containers). The cashier did not wash their hands before handling the food. It was bad. I say this having worked in food service multiple years. I hope they can remedy this issue with sanitation and pricing inconsistency, but until then I’m not interested.Dietary restrictions: They used to be gluten free friendly but until they fix price inconsistencies they are not unless you want to pay ~$4 to $8 more for GF substitutes

This place has so much potential. But the sauce they cook the meat in is too salty. The service was so friendly and the lady working there was super nice. But please put the sauce on the side like everything else. This could’ve been so good, but the sauce ruined it.

Service is excellent and timely, and staff gladly answer questions about dishes and sauces etc. The storefront is very small with only about five seats, but the atmosphere is super friendly and homely, and you can always get takeout. The food is just GREAT. I especially love the lamb gyros and the rice plate with lamb stew (photo). Whatever dish you get, you can top it however you like from the topping cart with olives, tomatoes, tziki, etc. Highly recommend this place.

Been going here for years, absolutely a Corvallis hidden gem! Heather is kind and awesome. Great vegan options, always fresh and the cheapest meal in town. Will continue to go back for years to come.

The food was excellent & the staff was friendly. We had the Dolma which was fresh made & perfect.
