Description
This neighborhood Greek spot serves standout gyros, Greek chicken, homemade soups and fries; fast, fresh, clean and great for takeout, dine-in or catering. Regulars praise friendly staff and complimentary lunch soup. However, inconsistency in order accuracy and occasional overcooked items, plus reported missing dressings and poor complaint handling — including refusal to replace or refund — have left some customers frustrated. Overall, flavorful food and value are tempered by service reliability concerns.

I ordered a Greek salad, and it was excellent. We also received a complimentary chicken soup. The dining room is tidy, and I would definitely recommend this place!
The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, and you get complimentary soup when you dine in for lunch. The chicken is delicious, and the sandwiches are fantastic as well. You won't be disappointed!
I ordered takeout and the gyro was excellent. However, the Philly cheesesteak was overcooked and had a burnt taste, like charcoal. When I spoke to the manager about it, I was met with a rude attitude and told that I should have requested it to be cooked medium. I've never had to specify how I want my cheesesteak prepared at a restaurant. Due to her unpleasant demeanor, I asked for a refund for the Philly. She flatly refused, and when we didn't leave without it, she called the police on us. It was a very embarrassing situation, and I will never spend my money there again. I will be sure to warn others not to support this business either.
