| - Paid these guys a visit recently, and overall the experience was not what I hoped for. While the staff was very friendly, which is a big plus, the food and atmosphere were off. The place smelled like smoke, and more like fresh cigarette smoke than the kind of smoke generated while cooking. It only got worse during my visit, and made me want to leave.
The chicken on the gyro was overly watery. Not juicy in a good way, but juicy like water logged from sitting in a broth or water mixture for way too long. I've been to their other location at Frank Lloyd Wright and Scottsdale Road, and the chicken there has always been better, as they cook it on a flat top grill. Maybe the water-logged chicken briefly touched a grill, but it clearly was not cooked on it, as the texture would be more like what you expect from the grill, and not from a water bath.
I see the interior is being remodeled, and nothey've got some kind of faux stone tile look on the lower half of the walls, but it's more like a press 'n stick panel. More than anything, you see the seams and cracked edges. I appreciate the effort to give the place an authentic look and feel, but it ends up being more distracting, and cheapens the experience.
My suggestion is stick with the other location, and you'll be a happier camper.
