| - Stopped in with the husband - hell, we live a block away, so we have to try it sometime - got takeout. We were waited upon immediately and our stuff packed up to go quickly.
Great service!
Unwrapped our prize at home.. and.. well, we were underwhelmed. I actually pawed around in the bottom of bag a bit to see if we missed anything. For $19, we had 2 gyros and sides.. a lot of money for not a lot of food. Gyros were very salty, small, dry..and .. well, I've had better :( Maybe I'm homesick for Chicago, and what a universe of Greek food there was out there.. lemon/garlic potatoes, tender gyro slices cuddled in hand-stretched pita.. there's no way this place could compete against, say, Cross Rhodes in Evanston, Illinois, or Larsa's in Skokie, IL. It's just a different planet out here in dry, dusty Phoenix. You get what you can if it's something "exotic", and try to like it.
I understand that small restaurants like this struggle to compete, and I appreciate that there's always a balance in the industry between what to offer and how much to charge for it. The bottom line, profitability, is ultimately everything.
That was clear from our meal.
Sorry...I wish I could have liked it.
