| - We've lived in this area for almost 4 years now. When this place first opened as a grocery store under a different name and different ownership, we were pretty jazzed. We were told every time we went in and grabbed fun items like pickles or spices, that they would be serving cooked food soon. After a few years of it never happening, and it changing hands several times, we kind of gave up on coming. Once I saw the Kabab King sign up, I was really excited. It took what feels like forever to finally open, and then even more time before we finally had the opportunity to go here.
We had an appointment at the nearby Sonora Quest Lab and decided it would be a perfect time to try it out. We both ordered the Gyro with French Fries. This does not come with a drink, you have to pay extra so we both got bottled waters. We also ordered the sambosas. It took a while for the food to come out. First, the sambosas came out with a nice green sauce. Very good, but you can tell they were store bought and cooked in a toaster oven.
We waited even longer and finally got our Gyros. We were so very disappointed. The meat is imitation frozen meat. The kind of stuff I've only seen once or twice in my life, where the strips are all uniform, as if they were vacuum formed. Anyone who's ever had anything close to an authentic Gyro would be able to spot this. It's the same fake stuff I mention in one of my other one star reviews, a deli and grill using this junk. My biggest issue was the Gyro poster on the wall depicting REAL Gyro meat cooked on a spit. There was very little meat and a lot of lettuce, tomato and pickles. The sauce was so thin, it felt a lot like store bought Greek salad dressing, not tzatsiki. The fries were cold, bland and soggy.
We went to pay and he charged me for the food that the ONLY OTHER CUSTOMERS in the entire restaurant ordered. We had to correct him, as it was about twice the cost. They thanked us and reminded us of the buffet on Sundays. Don't think we'll be back or try the buffet here. Much like trying a taco at a Mexican food place for the first time, if you can't get a Gyro right, then there's just no love in the food.
The restaurant was hot, with big fans blowing and one TV set to some weird channel about $35,000 plane tickets. I can't even imagine how hot it will be this summer. None of this surprised me, but I REALLY wanted to be surprised. They all seem like really sweet employees and owners and very friendly, and it makes me sad to give only 2 stars. It doesn't seem like they do enough business to support making all fresh stuff which is fine, so maybe they should re-envision their business and represent itself as a fast food mid-eastern place.
