I have enjoyed drinks there before, but this time I ordered the chicken souvlaki skewer with Greek salad, tzatziki, and pita. The lunch cost me just over $10 after tax. The chicken skewers lacked seasoning and seemed pre-cooked, lacking freshness. However, they were decent compared to fast food. The Greek salad was visually appealing with a tasty balsamic dressing, but the rice was bland and dry. The minuscule portion of tzatziki was disappointing, lacking garlic and flavor. It resembled thick sour cream with a hint of non-Greek yogurt, missing the essential ingredients. Overall, I was let down by the lack of flavor in the meal. Adding simple ingredients like salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon could have easily improved it. If you prefer bland food, this place might be for you. Otherwise, I would recommend trying the food truck outside for a more flavorful option.
