Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Lamb Gyro and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Solid spot. The Hummus Plate is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Great mediterranean option for the area. The Hummus Plate was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Falafel Wrap stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
