Chill Vibe, Great Community Support
I love this place! The vibe is chill and welcoming, and after just a month or so of visiting, I already feel like a regular. Extra points for supporting the bookstore down the block – that’s what I call an awesome community member. PS. There always seem to be some handsome men eating there, so bonus! 🥰

Underrated Gem with Delicious Turkish/Kurdish Flavors
My experience at this restaurant was surprisingly positive, especially considering I'm not typically a fan of Greek food. I found it to be more in line with Turkish/Kurdish cuisine, which I greatly prefer. The lentil soup was addicting and incredibly tasty. I also really enjoyed their hummus, which is saying a lot as I'm usually not a fan. The skewers, including the lamb, were also great. I definitely recommend their plates and the lentil soup. The service and atmosphere were both rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a 5 out of 5.

Rock Solid Shawarma and Kabobs!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was incredibly impressed with the rock solid lamb/beef schwarma and some of the best hummus I've ever had. The food is consistently fast, consistent, and tasty. The lamb kabobs were also excellent. There's a good reason this is the only business that has survived on this corner for so long, especially considering the corner's past reputation for being jinxed for businesses. : -P

Average Gyros, Soggy Fries
My experience at this restaurant has been average for a while now. The price is high for what you are getting. We tend to come here when we crave a gyro and can't be bothered to go outside of the neighborhood, but maybe next time we'll switch our cuisine choice. While most Greek places include one serving of the tzatziki white sauce, here it's an add-on. The French fries are consistently soggy and cold, so we stopped ordering those. Overall, the guys who run the front are nice, but the quality of food stays the same. It's average. I would love to see improvements on what comes out of the kitchen.

Misleading Vegan Options - Beware!
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing due to misleading information about their food. While the place itself is cute and the WiFi is decent when it works, the core issue lies with their food labeling. They are labeling food as vegan, but it is not, which is a serious concern. Specifically, the Lentil Soup, which appears to be pureed lentils, is served with bread containing eggs. They did not offer any alternatives. This was incredibly frustrating as I paid almost $20 for soup and a side of falafel and came here to work over dinner. I strongly advise anyone with dietary concerns or restrictions to BEWARE, as you are being lied to. It makes me question how many other "Vegan" options might contain animal ingredients. For a better experience with genuinely vegan and more filling options at a cheaper price, I recommend walking a few steps across the street to Rossi's Deli, which has been in business for 57 years.

Dependably Excellent Pit Stop!
My experience at this restaurant has been rock solid and dependably excellent for over 20 years. The owner and his crew are such nice people. If you want to eat good and healthy, this is an amazing pit stop! I can't recommend it more highly. Remember to help out the planet and the restaurant by not ordering plastic silverware if you're eating this food at home.

Excellent Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was of very high quality. The food was very delicious, and the employees and owner were friendly and helpful. Although I had to wait for my package as it wasn't ready, they kindly offered me a drink. I highly recommend this very nice restaurant.
