Not the first time but I have to report this, my wife went yesterday to get food to go and one of the orders was the lentil soup for $6.99, she took the order and was on the way back home and wanted to check that soup didn't move from its place and make a mess and she found it no soup at all but the put Hummus instead for $7.49, she went back to them and the server said that he put Hummus instead of the soup because the soup was out!!! really! And he didn't tell her about it! And they didn't say sorry and all they said was do you want it or not?! My wife was already exhausted from standing in line first time for about 40 mins and driving back and forth so she didn't argue at all and said No...

This was my first visit, and I had heard so many positive things about this restaurant. I ordered a simple kid's meal for my elderly mom, along with an extra skewer and dessert. After waiting for 30 minutes, I finally received my order to go. I asked the staff member if it always takes that long for to-go orders, and she mentioned that she had to get the baklava out of the freezer. At that point, I was feeling pretty discouraged and didn't even have an appetite anymore. I'll just have to see what my mom thinks of the food.

Called for take out, food is not the issue. Service is. Called and was put on hold, but every time I was “placed on hold” the call was hung up. The server spoke extremely fast, did not leave a breath of air for a response. This happened 3 times! I had to interrupt and let the server know to not do it again…. However I waited for an extensive amount of time even after the multiple callbacks. There needs to be a better system for call orders. Not sure when I’ll call again.

I happened to pass by and decided to give this restaurant a try, and I was pleasantly surprised. The beef fillet wrap is incredible! The food presentation is impressive, and the banana slices are a nice touch. It's a shame that the restaurant is far from my usual route, or I would definitely come back again and again. I highly recommend it! The green sauce is absolutely delicious. Book a table now

First visit. Read so many good things about this place. I put a simple child's meal for my older mother. And an extra skewer and dessert. 30 minutes later 9 to finally go my order. I ask the girl... it always takes 30 minutes to go for an order. She said she had to get the baklava out of the freezer. I don't want to eat anything. Let's see what Mom says about it.

The place is standing room only. It's so crowded they need a bigger place because people are dying to get in to taste the food. So many choices all of the ones I've tried are so so good. The flavor is something so tasty and fresh and the meats beef lamb kabob shawerma, gyros are all good. I went on Sunday and can't wait to go back. As soon as possible

Wow, I was passing by and decided to try their food and I was not disappointed. The wrap beef fillet is amazing ?. The food presentation and the banana slices are amazing. Too bad their restaurant is too far from my regular commute other wise I'd return again and again... HIGHLY recommended. The green sauce is delicious.

Fresh Tasty. Gyros were perfectly grilled. Potatoes were delicious. I find a lot of Mediterranean places don't put thought into the sides, but everything was good here. Props to the team. Will definitely become a regular. Book a table now
