This is the second time out of four that this place has disappointed me. First time I picked up my order, got home to find the gyros had no tzatziki sauce, feta or any other toppings I had asked and payed extra for. Had to go back to get new gyros, and was offered a dessert along with a promise from manager next gyro will be free. Didn't come back!! Now months later, two days ago I tried again and this time the gyros were full of all the toppings I requested but the pita bread was raw!! I could have literally rolled it back in a ball and knead the dough!!! Unbelievable. Will never go back there.

I came in today for lunch to try the food at your restaurant and I have to say the food and service was amazing. Best Greek food I have tasted so far and the guy working there was very nice in walking me through all your menu options. Will definitely come back again :)

My boyfriend and I went here for a casual dinner and it was tasty. It was our first Greek casual restaurant experience, but it was nice due to its Greek food and I don’t eat that regularly. Friendly and courteous staff. Food - standard salad or rice bowl or pita options. Honestly, the string beans had me take a pause but they were good in my salad bowl. If you are looking for a fast casual meal it’s a good option to consider.

It was my first time at this restaurant and I was easily guided through the process by David. The food was very fresh and tasted great! Brett suggested the baklava Cheesecake. That was something I have never heard and I really enjoyed it! Thank you for the great experience!

This used to be our favorite place near school. A safe and reliable option. Sadly, no longer. They've changed their menu and their safety protocols. Ingredients have changed without website updates. And when we thought we filled a safe order with phone confirmation, we still got a meal (1 item short) that had allergens...which we saw way too late. Lucky for us it wasn't our anaphylactic/worst allergy, so no ER trip, just a terribly lost night and an awful send-off to end the school year. Friendly person but that doesn't keep us safe.

Delicious and fresh vegetables . Excellent customer service and clean place. Totally recommend for healthy bowel and salad . Thanks

The food was delicious. The restaurant follows the Subway or Chipotle, where you start by picking a bowl or a pita and then pick the ingredients you want in it. The Greek fries were also very good.

More Americanized than authentic (think chipotle, cava, etc), but still tasty. They were out of a few items when I visited, but that’s likely due to nationwide shortages and delays.

I am doing this review knowing full well what Greek food tastes like being Greek myself. I was quite delighted to find a Greek restaurant in Arlington but the experience was honestly horrible . None of the ingredients were fresh , I am pretty sure the feta they used was outdated since I it smelled and gave me quite a stomach ache . The gyros hadn’t been warmed in a while and the meat was nothing to write home about. Anyway , I just want to say Greek food isn’t even close to what the shop serves , and you will only be served bad quality food there .

I love this place! I discovered it a few months ago. Excellent food when you need something quick and everyone working there is friendly and helpful. I have returned multiple times and intend to do so in the future.As I am looking at their reviews, everything I see from at least the last year on is positive. I wish Google took recency into account with overall rating.
