| - As good as it gets? You bet! This is the best mediterranean food I have had here. In fact it was about the best meal we have had in years. It is not fancy, it is ethnic but everything is super. Even the salad was made with care - very fresh romaine, light dressing, real Kalamata olives.
I had the gyros plate. They let me sub Baba ganoosh for the rice (I figured with pitas I did not need another starch - until I tasted my wife's rice, so good) This rice is not the run of the mill yellow rice you usually get. It is distinctly flavored with spices (some what like garam masala). Gyros was of great quality, loaded with flavor and very tender. A lot of it too. Portions are very large. Hummus was great too, lots of flavor.
My wife had the chicken shwarma which I do not usually like - I really liked this. Like the rest of the food, it is richly flavored and a very large portion. It is made in the traditional way on a vertical spit - you can see it.
The top 10 reasons to go here
1 - great food
2 - large portions of great food.
3 - great service. They are always helpful and extremely pleasant. They clearly care about how you are doing.
4- nice ambiance - no, not fancy, but restful and quiet, with comfortable seating
5- great hours (open from late morning until late in the evening)
6 - easy and plentiful parking (it is in the strip mall on the north-east corner of Southern and Alma School - near the center)
7 - They just might give you free baklava - I noticed several people commented on this and they did give some to us. It is great - strong fresh walnut flavor, flaky pastry and a modest amount of honey - not overwhelming as it often is. So tip generously.
8 - clean, and they clear the tables quickly.
9 - an excellent value ($27 for two plates with drink - it is dinner)
10 -go there - we want this place to stay open a long time because we plan on going often!
Now it is my wife's turn -
I had a lot to say until he pinched all my ideas! On the other hand, he's real picky about his mediterranean/middle eastern food, so the above is actually about a 10-star review. As for me, I have a lot of food sensitivities, and they were cheerfully willing to accommodate them in every way possible. The result: I ate each bite I could squeeze in, and pita-d the plate clean! And brought home enough for another whole dinner! What a wonderful change from "Yeah - sorry - pretty much everything has pepper in it. Except for the desserts."
So, outstanding food, value, service, and experience! Please help them stay in business - you won't regret it a bit!
