Always great good and extremely friendly staff here. I usually get something at least once a week. The gyros are off the hook, the spinach pie is divine and if you're looking for something different, try the zucchini pie. It's absolutely delicious! The Greek salad could use better dressing but it is ALWAYS absolutely fresh and portion size is spot on. Prices are more than fair and I will keep coming back here get the tastiest, freshest Greek food from the nicest people. Keep up the good work, your patrons appreciate it!!

I bought a gyro: the meat was very tasty and there was twice as much as needed (though I'm not sure I really need that, and it's not unusual for me to find that the amount of meat on a gyro is excessive).
The tomatoes were borderline as far as texture goes, and the pita could've been warmer. The sauce was very good.
As many have noted, service wasn't the most pleasant.
My main complaint was that I paid over $13 for a gyro sandwich after tax.
I thought maybe times have changed, so just checked the web sites of local Greek restaurants, and I saw that everyone else is ~$9, and

I had a gyro and everyone knows people make their food differently i didn't like it made with beef i prefer lamb meat also fries were too hard. If this was lamb meat gyro it would have been good with the portion i got which was a lot idk if it's because i had to wait so long for my order or that's just how they come i also hot a free drink for waiting so long so that's the only good part.

I've been here numerous times over the last year and a half and I've always had a good experience.
I've always ordered to-go.
I always get the gyro and it's huuuuge.
They put so much meat on the pita it's falling off the sides and you can literally make two gyros out of it.
The gyros taste great, and the tzatziki sauce is delicious and always very fresh tasting.
The hummus is also very good and the appetizer is a good sized portion.
I've never really tried any of their other dishes just because of how awesome their gyro is.
I've been here about 10 times over

Very disappointing. I literally just threw away my money, no joke. The entire meal ended up in the trash. I love greek food and this place is a disgrace to the culture. Only greek restaurant in the area. Trust me please do not waste your time or money, drive the extra miles and go to Gilshar instead. Terrible

Food Is good. The yogurt sauce is the best I have ever had. They are cheap as hell. Charge for everything. Even one grape leaf in a Greek salad is extra! Lol
What kills this place is the attitude of (I'm assuming the owners)
Phone orders make you feel uncomfortable, that is how nasty they are. Face to face they are cold and make you feel unwelcome.
One time we placed a takeout order. They forgot to make it hahaha. I went to pick it up and was told "sorry forgot to make it" I was shocked. Needless to say never went back. My advise is go to ANY other Greek place and be happy!

Delicious! Went there yesterday and staff was friendly. Place has a revolving door. Phone kept ringing with orders. Turn around time seemed to be 25-30 minutes per order. We ordered gyros and you get a huge amount! No fries needed. Forced myself to eat half and had the other half today. Kids meals are huge as well-a lot of food for my toddler. Also, ordered an american burger and a side of fries for my stepson which he loved. Good value for the money.

Love it here! I have tried almost everything on the menu and love it all. Reasonably priced, fresh and delicious, homemade Greek food. How can you go wrong? Definitely more of a takeout place, although they have a couple of booths for sitting. They also have some bottled beers, which is always a plus. Zero complaints. Check it out today!!!

I wanted a kids gyro because I wasn't going to eat a whole regular gyro so the lady asked if its for me and I said yes then she said okay I'll give you extra but I insisted I don't need it but she gave it anyway.. when I got home the Gyro meat was burnt... No wonder why they were willing to give extra.. To get rid of there bad cooking and now I got a nasty stomach feeling.
Ps the staff are rude..they approach you in a strange defensive way... 2 stars

I felt a little as if we were an inconvenience when we stopped by for lunch the other day. The lady running the place became friendlier the longer we stayed, but we felt a little unwelcome during our visit.
The lunch prices were okay and the food was good, with decent-sized portions. The falafel was nice and crispy and the pita bread was excellent! The yogurt sauce was unusual to me, with strips of cucumber in it (it almost looked like cole slaw), but was very flavorful.
My complaint is that they are not serving sit-down customers with an earth-friendly approach. While I expect disposable

This place could easily get four stars if it wasn't for the two biggest knock against it...price and service.
The gyro's aren't your standard fare of generic greasy gyro, decent quality gyro meat for those who've had higher quality gyros. Pita's are warmed to order on the grill, and the Tzatziki sauce isn't your generic yogurt sauce, it has more of a shredded cucumber to it, closer to coleslaw than regular yogurt sauce which is extremely tastey.
Now for the bad, first and foremost, 8.95 for just a gyro is a bit expensive, you get simply just a gyro for 9 bucks.

So let me give you guys an overview. I have been going here for 4 years. I moved to sound beach back in 2010 I believe and this is when I decided to try new eats in the area. I've always loved gyros so I decided to try this place as a spur of the moment kind of thing.
This place is amazing to say the least. Of you see my profile I rarely ever give out 5 stars and this place nailed it. First off let me tell you that the staff is the best staff you will find in any small town mom and pops restaurant. The owner of the store is named George and he is super friendly. He is always at the register
