| - I used to visit Stephano's all the time when I was on UNLV campus regularly. For four years, this location has allowed me to continue to frequent without the travel time. The strength for me has always been their consistency with fresh, made to order protein with portions large enough to leave me satisfied every time.
I have yet to try the lamb shank, but I've had the chicken and the shrimp which are pretty standard. My go-to is either the filet or the beef/lamb gyro meat. The beef is always tender and the roasted gyro meat is sliced with each order and seasoned just right to bring out the flavor of the meat. The wrap is the easiest way to eat your protein and usually the method of my preference, but you can also have your protein in a plate, salad, or in a rice bowl, which is what I had last. An order of hummus, Israeli salad, rice, and your choice of white or wheat pita comes with the plates.
Ordering is typical fast casual where you'll be given a number and the food will be brought out to you if you're dining inside or at one of the tables outdoor. Wait times are typically around ten minutes so order online or call it in if you're pressed for time. Expect prices right around $$/person obviously depending on what you order. Make sure you get your free order of baklava with check in.
Service is usually pretty friendly and accurate with the exception of our last visit when the young gentleman, who was a younger one of the family members that run the restaurant, seemed to be in a rush with everything causing him to make mistakes left and right. I don't know which train he had to catch but when I ordered at the counter he asked, "is that it?" after everything I said. Even though he took our order, he no recollection of it whatsoever when he delivered it not repeating the items we were receiving, dropping it off, and just leaving not asking if we needed anything else. When we looked at the order it wasn't ours and after bringing the order back to have it corrected, the young man was on the phone fumbling through receipts obviously doing damage control on another order he screwed up. Everything was rectified and our food was delicious, just be on the lookout for this kid.
