I must admit that I have already begun to lose faith in quite a few reviews that I've read on Yelp. Please let me assure you that of all the reviews I read, I should have completely ignored the 4 & 5 star reviews and trusted some of the more knowledgeable but unfortunately negative reviews. If you've eaten at some of the great mediterranean/middle eastern restaurants in the valley (I'm thinking of one unnamed delicious place in Tempe in particular), trust me this is nothing like them. I took my wife here for lunch because of the solid 4 star rating, ignored the mild seediness of the location and ordered the gyro plate while she ordered the chicken kabob sandwich. The waitress looked at me with a perplexed appearance so I finally asked her if there was something wrong with my order. "We are out of gyro meat but someone will be back from the market with it if you will wait"..... So I ordered a beef schawerma sandwich instead. Why would I wait for someone to bring back gyro meat to warm up - what happened to a spit of beef and lamb roasting on a rotisserie? After a reasonably moderate wait we get lentil soup which was not horrible and a plate of lettuce sitting in a pool of oily dressing. The hummus was pretty darn good - bread fine just like if I bought it at a market...not warmed but fine. Our sandwiches each contained pretty dry, unremarkable meat - again not inedible but far from what I'm used to. My drink was an overpriced can of soda and the whole deal was several dollars more than a wonderful meal elsewhere...complete waste. Just because a restaurant is family owned non-franchise does not make it good or a reasonable value - sorry.
