Gyros were perfect. Meat was thick, fresh made pitas tasty

I had a Rack of Lamb Chops over Mashed Potatoes with Veggies and my guy had Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. I had a Margarita. He had water because he doesn’t drink ? This place was Amazing. I will definitely be ordering the exact same thing. Our waitress was also wonderful. We loved everything about our date-night. We could’ve picked a better place. 100 stars ? easy. We will definitely be back.

This is my go to place when I can't decide what I want to eat. The pita bread is made FRESH and the dipping sauce with it is to die for. Can't go wrong with gyros here, changed it up last time with trout and it was so good. My baby loved it and the fresh veggies (not overcooked). Awesome customer service, never a wait, decent prices.

ORDER TAKEOUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!I ordered takeout and they forget the chicken in the chicken kabob which of course I only discovered once I returned home. I called the restaurant they tried to blame it on me. I drove back to the restaurant and got the chicken They never admitted making a mistake and they didn't try to make up for it in any way ("I gave you the chicken" was their reply).It's obvious they didn't care at all. I spoke to the owner who gave me a bunch of excuses ("I don't have access to the system", whatever that means) and also didn't apologize nor try to make it up in any way.This restaurant doesn't care about their customers. I'd go to Babalou's which is nearby - the food and price is just as good and at least they care about the service. Sultan's Kabob is a block away - I'd go there before Silk Road too.

Through Google Maps search, I found this restaurant and it’s menu/website where you can order online. The menu photos show there are either 3 or 4 lunch specials. There are also 2 different pricing for them: $9.95 or $10.95. The website also includes a pizza menu.I didn’t mind the discrepancies because they aren’t major, and my family has a small business and I understand that it can be difficult to manage online information for small businesses.Instead of ordering online, I called the restaurant to ask for good suggestions. The man I spoke to reacted like I was asking something strange, so I just let it go and ordered a lunch special. I tried to add the gyro calzone from the pizza menu, but he said they don’t do the pizza menu anymore.When I went to pick up the order, the man said it was $14.95 + tax. I said that that’s not right because it says online the price is either $9.95 or $10.95. Now I got fed up with all the issues and pointed out the conflicting information, lack of pizza menu that you could pay for online, etc. And he just responded with how he’s not the owner and the price changed.Regardless of whether the price changed, he should adjust mine because I made the phone order based on the information I saw online. Then he tried to make the point that I never asked for the price on the phone. That doesn’t matter, but I said he never told me the price either. So unless I ask, then I’m walking into a trap?I saw a plate of pizza slices and asked, so there is no pizza menu but you have pizza here? The man said that he was eating them.After arguing with him, he called someone, I’m assuming the owner, but don’t really know because he said everything in Spanish. I did hear him call me “chica”, which is rude and offensive in this setting.Finally, when he hung up, he was even more rude and surly than before and adjusted the price to $10.95. As he said, it isn’t him who sets the price, so why was he so combative?I left, letting him know that this is ridiculous and I will never return.When I opened the lunch order, I found a hair on the pita bread.I wouldn’t usually leave a review, but I felt offended in so many ways—as a customer, as a woman, and as an Asian person—and decided to not keep quiet as is expected of someone like me.

Amazing food great service

Not what one would expect of Mediterranean cuisine. Do yourself a favor and pick another spot to eat. They poured a very sweet syrup all over my vegetarian combo plater. I was craving the flavors of tart lemons, garlic and olive oil. No pita brought with this dish. Really sweet syrup, on dolmas, hummus and baba ganoush, not a fan.My boyfriends $14.95 lunch special promised a Greek hamburger, chicken skewers salad and hummus. NO hummus on plate, 3 pieces of chicken, and the wrap for the hamburger was 1/4 of a wrap, and the same very sweet sauce on small mixed greens. The plate was naked and the meal did not satisfy his appetite.Great location with outdoor dining.

Great quality Mediterranean food for a respectable price! I haven't been too impressed with many restaurants and cafes around NorCal, but I am very pleased with this find. The service was great and we were also offered complimentary pita + dipping sauce that was fantastic. We also got several extra sides of sauce and pita at no cost, too! Thank you for the pleasant dining experience.
