Tonight I ordered 4 regular gyros with 4 sides of fries through Grubhub. The gyros were delivered without the fries. I called the restaurant about the missing fries, and they promised to deliver them. Almost an hour later, I still had no fries. When Idrove to the restaurant to get the fries, a HUGE RAT ran out from behind the stove and then ran right back behind it while thecook was fixing the fries! When I told the cook what I saw, he didn't even react, so I don't think he was surprised. I was sodisgusted that I threw away my food without eating it. I used to adore the food here, but now I can't ever eat here again. ????
Ridiculously expensive, double check your order before leaving because they WILL rip you off. We ordered a gyro with extra meat which they charge additional $6 for ?????????????? and they conveniently forgot. When we asked them about it, the people behindthe counter looked at each other and smirked. You could tell they had he ohh we got caught look but they didn?t care. No wonderthis place is always empty.
I originally wanted a chicken kebab, but since they were out, I opted for a chicken platter instead. I also tried the baklava and falafel. Everything was delicious, and I'm surprised I never noticed this restaurant before, even though I've driven past it so many times! The sight of the chicken cooking in the restaurant was really mouth-watering.
The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is excellent. I ordered the combo platter, and the chef provided a substantial portion even though I had only ordered a small plate. The last time I visited was a decade ago, and I've been eager to return ever since. Many other shops and restaurants in the area have closed, so I’m really glad this one is still around!
I decided to give this place a try on a whim and ordered lamb gyros with fries. Unfortunately, I didn't notice how unclean the kitchen was until after I had placed my order. The worker prepared the fries in oil that looked almost jet black, and he didn't wash his hands even once before handling my food. The pita was undercooked and mushy, while the lamb had a dreadful smell and taste. I ended up throwing away the rest of my meal. I cannot recommend dining here.
