Well that was awkward.... Came in for lunch on a Sunday, it was our first time here. The place was completely empty. The cook and the host were chatting at the bar. We stood at the door waiting. The host seemed so reluctant to even approach us. As he walked to us, he did not greet us or even smile, just said "2?" He led us to a table and disappeared into the kitchen with the cook. Our waitress then came to our table to take our drink order. The menu was so meager, and they didnt even have your Greek/Mediterranean staples on it, like gyros. We had no clue what to order, and the waitress came up asking if we were ready to order literally 3 times within 3 minutes. She was sweet though, Ill give her that. I ordered a chicken thigh kebab plate, and my husband ordered a lamb sandwhich. The food was just alright, flavors didnt stand out at all. According to the menu, the sandwhich was supposed to come with rice, but we didnt get any. My husband thought it was a weird combo - sandwhich with rice so he didnt even want to mention anything to the waitress. However, That was not the only discrepancy with the menu. My meal was marked at $12.99 on the menu. When our check arrived, it was marked at $13.99. It was not a big difference, but with the previous discrepancy with the menu, I pointed it out to our waitress mentioning that they should probably update their menus. She apologized and said she will tell management. I figured she would fix the price discrepancy and bring us a new check, but nope! She left it as it was! That was so weird, I still cant believe it. Needless to say, there was nothing that would bring us here again...

This place has changed for the worse. They eliminated the buffet. Now you go to the counter and order your food and they bring it to you in styrofoam with plastic utensils. Food is still fantastic, however the service and experience has fallen off a cliff and landed in a pile of unidentified rubble. My food was delivered promptly. My friends was not only late, but had to be sent back twice because they brought out the wrong items. There was mass confusion as to what he had ordered. Sadly, I can now say I wont be back. Shame because the food is great. Service sucks!

The best Hummus I have ever tasted, very subtle hint of lemon, no paprika like most places. Not overly doused with oil either. Their Chicken Thigh Kabob is immaculate. The Saffron rice is perfectly seasoned and the side salad just adds the perfect acidity. I also tried the beef Kabob plate, word of advice: dont order it well done. Kudos to the chef for the awesome flavors, and the staff for the great service. I definitely will be returning and saving room for dessert, because the have gellato!

The food here is excellent. Ive been here several times and try something new each time I come. The customer service is excellent too. This place is a must try, and youll be coming back again and again, just like me. The pomogranet wine is wonderful.

Very nice people. A little expensive but within the realm of reasonable. The food is always freshly prepared and tastes great. Even lucked out one time and they had a gluten free soup, worth a return visit just for that.

We came in for lunch and had a Salad and lamb sandwich. It was outstanding!! The service was even better! When you walk in, you will see how proud of their establishment they are. We will be back soon!!

The food tastes delicious and feast for meat lovers. Can you please let me know if the meat is HALAL. My friends would like to know so that they can come and eat if it is HALAL meat.

Great food, Great people but a glass of house wine is over $8. Drink before u come. Its more expensive than the main dish. Its only a house wine. Wake up

The lunch buffet has great food at a reasonable price. I try to find excuses to come here, but havent been able to as much as I would like.
