They don’t have the greatest service but when we walked in for lunch the other day, it was the worst I’ve experienced yet.
Walked in and they had a bunch of empty tables and most were filled with dishes. We saw 2 tables at the back of the restaurant which were clean and open… we waited… waited … until I got tired of waiting and asked if we could just go sit at the back table, a weird look and the response was «ok».
So we walked over and sat down, it was pretty warm in the restaurant. We waited to get menus and glasses of water… we waited… and waited… while we were waiting the couple of people behind us had been seated, had received menus as well as glasses of water… and we waited… finally the waitress came over… with the menu’s but I had to make eye contact with her…
We waited some more while she got our drinks and then another long wait while we got our meal. All the while the people who had come in after us, had already got their orders.
The order: Troy Salad — Greek salad with grilled chicken — 1 star dish! This is the worst greek salad I’ve ever had. The plate arrived with a large puddle of oil and vinegar at the bottom of the plate, the chicken was dry and the cheese had a weird taste… I ate a couple of bites and left the rest.
They were out of kebabs at prime lunch time hour of 12.30pm — so he got the lamb pieces with rice — it was ok.
Another long wait to get our check, finally we got tired of waiting so we just walked up to the counter to pay. 3 guys behind the counter were all talking, they saw us there and continued with their conversation. Finally one of them came over and pulled our total — we paid and left.
We won’t be coming back anytime soon, the food is mediocre at best and the service is pretty lousy!

Delicious food, and it’s always nice to support a family-​type place over the generic chains.
I can’t say their gyros are better than other Greek/​Mediterranean places I’ve been to, but at the same time, they are still delicious. Their pita bread is always fresh, and I prefer the chicken gyros the most.
Their «combination meat» plate is a nice assortment of meat and vegetable items, but not necessarily worth the price. Still tasty though. Their falafel is quite nice.
Service has always been fast for me, regardless of when I’ve gone. It’s sad to see it so empty in the evenings, though I think they make their business off the busy lunch crowds.

The prices are really good here. They don’t really give you enough sauce though so make sure you ask for a little extra. I only got a falafel sandwich so I can’t really judge it on too much. They fill it with a ton of lettuce.
It seems pretty authentic and the meal is a good size. It’s a good place to go if you’re craving Greek food.

Closed.
