| - Enjoyed it here!
On a spontaneous trip to Vegas this past Memorial Day weekend, I had the honor of meeting some down to earth peeps (DJ David and Chrissy) whom introduced my friend and I to some local Mediterranean food off the strip.
After a long drive, we needed a quick bite to eat before hitting the nightlife scene so this was a convenient place for us. This small and casual restaurant accomodates nearly all kinds of foodies..from the health-conscious to the hard-core carnivores.
Waitress was attentive and we were seated almost immediately. I liked the colorful and bright menu! Being as indecisive as I am, you really couldn't go wrong with the menu selection. Everything sounded familiar, simple, and straight-forward.
I ordered the "Vegetarian Gyro" sandwich (tabouleh, fresh veggies, and tzatziki sauce) and my friend ordered the "Simply The Best" sandwich (Authentic gyro meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce.) Both ~$6-7 and a decent portion size.
KEY IMPORTANCE: Freshness!!!
Upon arrival (quick service btw), I was visually impressed at the setup and freshness of the ingredients. Presentation is important to me so my mouth was salivating already. My camera phone didn't do it justice though (see pics), but let me tell you..as simple as the ingredients were...nothing beats a good gyro, but FRESH and TOP QUALITY ingredients! This had THAT!!! The tabouleh was flavored nicely. Simple and Delish!
My friend devoured his sandwich in what seemed like 3 bites or maybe it was 2 and a half. It all happened so fast that by the time I looked at him, he was smiling with a look of sweet and utter satisfaction! According to him, "It WAS simply the best." HAHA! Or maybe he was just THAT hungry?! =p
As for me...I'm a pretty slow eater. I made sure to chew 13 times before I swallowed. haha. Okay..maybe not 13 times, but I did let all the flavors dance around in my mouth, but only to get a text soon after to meet up with the rest of our crew in 20 minutes! EEk! So I got to eat half and took the rest "doggy-bag" style.
Only 4 stars since the restroom could have used a bit of a makeover. I know, but I'm anal like that. Anywhoo, I will definitely head back to "Ambrosia Cafe" to try out their other menu items. I hear their "Falafel Sandwich" and "Eggplant Parmesan sub" are HITS!
A great and quick stop to get your Mediterranean fix on!
