| - I gave it a second chance, but for me, between it, Haji Baba, Princess Market...Green Corner is a distant third.
My first attempt was to order and pick up. It takes about 20 minutes or so to get there. That's at the upper end of how long I want to drive for take out. I arrived a few minutes after they said it would be ready. When I got there, they told me it would be another 15 minutes. I didn't really want to wait and I didn't want the food that was already done to sit there, then sit on the way home. They said I could have it for free. But I just passed.
Tonight we gave them a second try. This time we ate at the restaurant. The workers were very nice and gave us free baklava since it was our first time.
But the food was light on meat, heavy on rice and lettuce. The rice tasted great at least. The meats were dry. I also tried a gyro sandwich. The gyro meat was also dry, but also crunchy because it was burnt. I asked if that was intentional. She said it was, that they cut it into little pieces so it cooks faster and sometimes that makes it crispy. Maybe I'm confused about how gyro meat is made, because I didn't understand that at all. But ok, maybe people like crunchy burnt gyro meat. Just doesn't happen to be my taste.
But still confused I asked another employee. He said that he would ask. He came back a few minutes later with a mound of gyro meat (and another mound of rice). This meat was pretty good...but it wasn't IN a gyro sandwich. I told him I didn't want it. He said he'd get a box for us to take it home. Then went away and didn't actually bring back a box.
The food took a long time to get to us, the bread was dry, the meat was dry and/or burnt.
Rice was great, baklava was good. Stuffed grape leaves were mushy and fell apart. Employees were very nice or at least tried to be.
