True Blue

The coffee is the best, great selection in coffes and service, good, good, good! Authentic Mediterranean food.

I had lamb kabob gyro my buddy had the lamb gyro we asked for cucumber sauce instead of lemon sauce couldn’t taste it like they didn’t put anything on it the pita chips were very dry and the hummus was tasteless I also ordered a meat pie was very dry and the sauce that came with it didn’t help much my buddy threw his away because he couldn’t eat it but I figured I paid for it so I ate it I didn’t like it we won’t be going back

I was not blown away by the food here. The grape leaves were extremely dry and a bit tough. I also ordered the lamb gyro. Ingredients were fresh, generous and well made, but way the lamb was way too salty. Halfway through, I felt like I was just eating salt flavor and not lamb. I don’t know if they salt it to order or not, but if I were to try this place again, I would ask for no added salt.

Stopped in for lunch, wife had steak gyro and I had lamb gyro. Both were fantastic! The meat was tender and not over spiced. The hummus was delish. Really friendly staff. Will return.

Pita. Chips. With the humus, seriously these things are great.
Tucked into a shopping center next to a tattoo parlor, you’ll be transported as soon as you walk in the door. If you want me to love a strip mall food joint, then you need to take the effort to really jazz up the place. Wood shelves adorned with Mediterranean flair, and tasteful art, there was plenty to see.
Both the steak and lamb options were perfect. Servings were generous. Flavor was spot on. Our waitress /​hostess was quick with a smile (which is great when you have a penchant for dad joke level humor) and a recommendation. When I asked for a baklava, she didn’t hesitate, «This one is better.» Period. It was fantastic! They also had a pretty generous selection of coffees.
This is a great place, a true diamond in the rough, you should give it a shot.

This place is absolutely incredible! As others have said, it’s a diamond in the rough (i.e. 5 star food in a strip mall).
The freshness and flavors of the food literally explode in your mouth. It’s hands down the best Greek food I’ve ever had.
In addition to the food, the owner is the most genuinely nice man who is truly passionate about his food.
5 Stars. We can’t wait to go back the next time we are in the area.

Had many Gyros in my day this is by far the best! I literally moan with delight when I bite into it. They don’t use that processed mystery meat that looks like a giant boneless leg like most gyro places… but tender, juicy, and flavorful slices of REAL lamb. It comes with a side of crunchy pita chips and fresh hummus… just incredible! Never disappointed, always beyond impressed.

Awesome gyro wraps. They fill them up with great ingredients. Love the chips and humus that come with it. Inside décor cool to check out and service is always good. Never disappoints.

I usually intend to write reviews for places I find delicious but usually by the time an hour’s gone by something like my fingernail has demanded all of my attention and thoughts of review writing are long gone. Not so with this place.
This is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Not that I’m a connoisseur or anything but I’ve had my fair share and live in a city with a darn good selection of restaurants. I got the cauliflower wrap upgraded to a platter (included hummus, pita chips, cucumber/​tomato salad and basmati rice). The cauliflower wrap was phenomenal, largely due to the deicious garlic/​lemon/​yogurt sauce they used. They vegetables were fresh and crunchy and the cauliflower was perfectly lightly fried.
The pita chips were light and a perfect crispness with just a tad bit of the soft pita bread texture left over, lightly seasoned, went perfectly with the hummus. The rice itself was a perfect flavor — not too much not too little. The cucumber/​tomato salad was fresh and very well/​deeply flavored which I ended up mixing with the rice.
On top of the exquisite food, the two employees (owner (s), I think?) were very friendly and were literally jogging to get the food out quickly (mine was ready in less than 5 mins).
My only regret is that I live on the other side of the country and can’t make this a regular eatery. Bravo, True Blue!

Phenomenal food & drinks! Telling everybody about this place! So much flavor & depth to the food! Definitely try the lamb gyros! #1 in my book!

At first is was very skeptical about the 5 star rating but decided to try it anyway after actually reading the reviews.
It was as delicious as advertised!!! Lamb kabobs are to die for along with pita and babaganoush and chicken kabob and kids lamb kabob that my son likes.
I think the best compliment any place can have is when an 8 year old remarks: «It’s delicious here!»
Don’t expect haut cuisine but it is absolutely deliciously comfortable place to come have an excellent meal.

The owner was present and the place is great the grape leaves with the best ever. The food was great. I would recommend it to anyone.
The quality of the food seemed above average, and had a REAL FRESHNESS TO IT.

True Blue is a unassuming BYOB located in a strip mall in Emmaus. The outside does not properly reflect the quality food that is being served at True Blue. The inside is very comfortable and there is seating for roughly twenty people. Additionally, there is a small patio where individuals could dine during warmer months.
The menu features a wealth of Mediterranean themed options. From lamb, to chicken, to vegetarian options there is something for everyone at True Blue. During our most recent visit we had an appetizer sampler. This appetizer had humus, babaganoush, grape leaves, and cauliflower. This item also comes with warm pita and crunchy pita chips. Usually, we oder extra cauliflower since it is so flavorful. In general this appetizer is perfect from top to bottom. The textures of the dips are great, the flavors are vibrant, and each item plays off each other.
For entrees we ordered a chicken gyro and a falafel gyro. First, I believe that these sandwiches are only as good as the pita and the pita that is used at True Blue is very soft and fresh. Each of the gyro’s is piled high and are more or less overflowing. For a couple extra bucks you can turn these into combination platters and get rice and a small salad.
Overall, we feel that True Blue is a very nice «go to» restaurant if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. The owners are very pleasant and put out a high quality product that is generally made from fresh ingredients.

Amazing gyro. I ordered a chicken gyro and it honestly was the best gyro I ever had. Amazing blend of flavor and seasonings. We sat outside and were waited on quickly and were treated incredibly nicely by the waitress and other staff members. Great environment with even better food.

My wife and I have had the privileged to eat in countries throughout the Mediterranean region. We’re not experts but eating here at True Blue brought back all the memories of our travels.
The humus is light and fluffy but flavorful and fresh. It doesn’t wack you on the head with Garlic or pungent flavor like some do. The in house Pita chips were a very good paring.
The Lamb Kabob was not quite as good as I’ve had it in Istanbul, Turkey– but it was close. My next Lamb Gyro hankerings will bring me back to True Blue. My wife enjoyed the Baba Ganoush Gyro which had surprisingly bold flavors for being a veggie only Gyro.
The basmati side and Mediterranean salad sides were authentic and decent. I would say the only thing I didn’t love was the falafel, which, was actually good… but not great. It was a bit dense and heavy for my preference but the flavors seemed to be right on.
Overall I would not hesitate to suggest True Blue as an authentic Mediterranean eatery and don’t forget to enjoy the nice side patio on a good weather day!

Delicious food, affordable and healthy. Nice people. What more do you need for lunch. My wife had a salad topped with fried eggplant and I had the Chicken gyro. Just enough food and under $ 20.

A great strip mall take out Mediterranean-​Style restaurant. Great service and food really combine to culminate into a superb dining experience. We had take out and loved it. I had a greek salad with lamb which really hit the spot. The traditional items like hummus was really great too.

The. Best. Turkish. Coffee. Ever.
I’ve sampled various cafes throughout the U.S. as well as a few in Europe and even the Middle East. This places’ java takes the cake. I actually said «Oh my God,» involuntarily when I took the first sip. Definitely order it. No sugar or cream needed.
Secondly, the atmosphere is great. Quiet, low-​key, people mind their own business. The gentleman working (not the owner but the owner’s uncle) was friendly and chatty without being overbearing or disturbing. I worked for a few hours one day using their WiFi while I waited for my car to be finished over at Daniels BMW. The hummus was great and so was the falafel — solid As all around, except for the coffee, which will go down in my book as A++.

Food it pretty good! Prices reasonable.
I personally had the chicken kabob gyro. Good size portion, filling.
I also recommend the turkish coffee. Other coffee/​drinks are good too.
Parking lot is present.
Accept credit card.
Casual/​informal café setting, plenty of seating.
Wifi available if you want to do work.
Take out available.

What an adorable place in a strip mall for dinner– interestingly placed right between a tattoo parlor and cigar shop. While dining here, there were so many people coming and going, I cannot say it is a hidden gem. For what is around, True Blue is the best!
The menu is rather extensive, but it is mostly a café style menu. The entrees are mostly just meat with rice, hummus and a tomato-​cucumber salad, with one veg option. They are open to the veg needs, and so you can ask for this lemon tahini vegan sauce on the food items. There is also salad with any protein and gyros. The appetizers are hummus, baba, tabouli and grape leaves, to name a few. If you need it vegan, just ask!
The service is by the folks who own it, so in a busy evening, it was slow, but, very kind and attentive when around. There is indoor and outdoor seating, again in a very casual style. They have wifi and espresso drinks galore!
The cauliflower was quite good, and covering a mammoth plate of lemon spiced rice. I enjoyed it, though it was a bit salty. However, if stuck around here, I wouldn’t mind one bit dining at True Blue. Good good good for the food, portions and kind service.
