It seemed like there was a different cook, because the gyro was literally half the size of the first one. It was noticeably smaller. To clarify, these are not inexpensive items; they run around eight dollars each, if I recall correctly. The first time felt like a good value, but the second one was lacking. There was much less meat, fewer ingredients, and the smaller size has made me hesitant to order another anytime soon. It's disappointing when consistency is lacking. If the second gyro had matched the quality of the first, I would have happily given this place five stars. For now, though, I'm giving it a generous three.

Today, I ordered a chicken kebab entree for pick-up, and they completely forgot to include the side salad and tahini sauce. When I asked about the salad, they mentioned that they no longer sell it, even though I saw another customer with a chicken salad. To make matters worse, the chicken was severely overcooked—just a couple of minutes away from being burned—and the rice was completely lacking in seasoning or flavor. Overall, the food tasted like burnt cardboard with bland, stale grains of rice. If this is what their food has come to, I won't be returning.

Shame, my favorite type of food.
