- foodThe dough on the cigarette borek was rubbery, not flaky, and the feta tasted super cheap. Overall, the food was very bland and tasted stale, which is a change from how it's been much better over the years. It's possible it was just a bad day or due to rising costs.

- serviceIt was disappointingly bland and overcooked, lacking authenticity and being unremarkable. The service was fast, but there was a mix-up with my order. While the owner or manager was kind and tried to accommodate me, even offering a refund, I felt bad as they corrected the order and prepared both plates for takeout.
- staffLocated right at the southern middle area across from Golden Gate Park, this restaurant offers delicious gyros wraps and friendly staff. They were even helpful enough to let me charge my phone at their counter.
- ownerI forgot my glasses case. The owner searched for me at the bus stop while we were queuing for the hop-on bus. That was extremely attentive and not a given - so TOP.

- orderthere was a mix up with my order
- attitudesHowever, the most significant issue was the staff, who were incredibly rude, particularly towards small children. Given the dry food and bad attitudes, I don't think it's worth it. There are definitely better falafel options in the city.
- cashierMy experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The cashier was visibly rude and short to myself and my friend, which was particularly jarring as they were very polite to other customers. The food was bland, and to make matters worse, the tables were sticky.
- cold demeanorhad a cold demeanor

- customer serviceI take a dim view of a company that offers an unsolicited refund, states the refund has been made, but no refund appears in three weeks. Lying is not good customer service. Neither is drowning a salad in dressing.
- customersI don’t recommend this place. They disrespect their customers and don’t know how to dress a salad.

Delicious Turkish Twist, Amazing Hospitality
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Although I was expecting a Greek gyro with tzatziki and a thick pita, I received a Turkish version with a lavash wrap and a labneh-yogurt sauce. While it wasn't what I initially expected based on the menu names, the lamb-beef meat was delicious, and overall it was a great wrap.
The interior is super cute, and the Euro-style seating outside offers a nice terrace feel, perfect for solo dining and people-watching across from Golden Gate Park. The biggest highlight was the owner's hospitality; he was incredibly friendly and attentive, even offering a Turkish coffee on the house. Despite being in a rush, his generosity did not go unnoticed.
It's a good spot for a quick fix in the Inner Sunset.
