Tonight was our second time eating here. The first time was pre-Covid and it was pretty good. Ordered $60 (after a 20% tip!) in sandwiches & falafel and was looking forward to trying the lentil soup. Even ordered a large sized soup to share & extra pita to soak it up. The “large” was a 16oz styrofoam cup half filled for $3.50. The pita was dry and stale. And the sandwiches leaked grease all over my car seat on the drive home and stained it.

Traveling through town and randomly decided to stop here for a bite to eat. 10/10 hands down one of the best Mediterranean style restaurants I’ve been to. The spice combinations are incredible, the amount of food you get for the price is also impressive!! The falafel is fresh and so crispy on the outside, wonderful soft texture inside. Cannot recommend this place enough!! Bring a location to Tampa!!

So yummy!! Been going here for years, it’s ALWAYS fresh, delicious, & quick(even when busy)!! Def a must try! ?

The food could be better for the price and the lady ringing me up pushed the 20% tip button on the credit card reader before I was able to pay. I don't appreciate that kind of stunt.

Excellent food. Great flavor and authentic Greek or at least it seems like it to me. Very good food. I try to eat there when I'm on this side of town. Generous portions.

Best shawarmas ever. Can’t beat this quick dive in only 10 minutes from the rental car return at GRR. Friendly staff and top notch traditional shawarmas. Fat boy foodie traveler, and now I don’t want to leave Grand Rapids

This place is an absolute GEM!! My friend and I stopped here randomly after looking for someplace to dine in, after two stops at different restaurants, one was carry out only and the other was closed we were tired of looking, this restaurant was in the same strip and gyros sounded good. We walked in and there was a line and we thought “we’ll that’s a good sign, food must be good “ First let me talk about the customers, while waiting we had several pleasant conversations with patrons. In front of us was a girl with blue hair and this older lady walks up while leaving and says to her “I absolutely love your hair!” Girl says thank you with a smile and the lady says “it looks very good on you “ and leaves. I thought that was very nice. Then I overheard a table get up to leave and someone says “the food was really great, I’m so happy you invited us here “ As we got closer to ordering we could see them making food and let me tell you my eyes got big at what we saw, food piled high when someone ordered one of their bowls and the largest gyro I’ve ever seen, packed with meat. We go up to order our platters and watched them pile on the delicious looking food, when paying the guy behind the counter says “I’m sorry is carry out ok? We’ve run out of food and closing early “ my friend says “aww, we came here to sit but that’s ok” he said “oh! That’s fine you can sit, we have things to do so it’s ok” we politely decline as not to be a disruption. Then the owner (I assumed) who heard the interaction says “please sit, it’s no trouble, I’m a little embarrassed we have to close “ I say to him “don’t be, that’s a good thing, means that ppl like the food if they’re buying it all up” he moves past me and tells the cashier “give them two baklava” they were seriously going to let us stay after closing to let us eat, and gave us dessert for our troubles. Amazing customer service! Our food was as good as it looked and the desert was fantastic, I’ve never tried baklava before and it was the perfect end to our meal. The customer interaction was great, amazing customer service, and the food was excellent, if I could give more than five stars I would definitely 7/5. We love discovering hidden gems and this place doesn’t disappoint, great experience that I won’t soon forget, I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know.

I loved Mediterranean food especially the lamb gyro. Great selection of dishes. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

I was hoping for some decent chicken schwarma and some gyro meat and came here on my way to work as the reviews seemed good...I spent over $20 and all I got was some microwave rice with lentils and half a breast of chicken barely seasoned and smashed on top of the rice. I was given the option for a wilting iceberg lettuce salad or some bland Walmart brand quality hummus and tahini or cucumber sauce. It also came with pita bread rolled into wax paper (not steamed) and never got any gyro meat...What I received I wouldn't pay $10 for... I would not recommend this place as there's much better Indian and Mediterranean food in the area, HIGHLY suggest the Sri Lankan/Indian restaurant a couple miles away, their lamb and goat curry is the best I have had, all high quality ingredients not from Walmart and not as expensive as this place...

Their gyros are very good. The Black and white gyro is especially delicious.
