| - I've never had Greek food before and thought I'd give this place a try....
Location & Aesthetics - located on E. Indian School Road and not difficult to miss with their large signage out front.
This place reminds me, in terms of their layout, of The Stand - similar in terms of seating, the interior, and drive through.
Parking is available alongside the restaurant and also available toward the rear. There is no parking on the side of the drive through as it's a bit of a squeeze there.
Lots of room and seating inside, and there's also seating outside, though I didn't see any misters in operation!
The restaurant was well lit with all of their tables and chairs clean.
Noise level wasn't bad with two TV's on, on either side of the restaurant, in the corner ceiling.
Menus - located above the check out. It's not as detailed as what's on their website, however the cashier, who also takes your order, was available for any questions.
Service - Staff was very warm and welcoming. We were greeted when we came in.
Staff answered any questions we had about the menu, and even made recommendations which was much appreciated.
When you're ordering to dine in, staff (very friendly) will bring your food to you and ask if there's any thing else you need.
Food - I had the Gyro Platter for $10.95 which entailed seasoned beef and lamb cooked and sliced off a rotisserie, and it comes with pita bread (about 5-6 triangles); also served with rice, Greek salad, and roasted lemon potatoes.
I have to say, for $10.95, do they give you a lot of food, so much so, that I couldn't eat it all and left the rest for dinner.
Rice was well seasoned and cooked well.
The Greek salad was fresh and contained lots of fresh Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers, Feta cheese (not too much to overpower the salad but seemed the right proportion), and olive, and two sides of Greek dressing.
The beef and lamb were seasoned perfectly though appeared somewhat on the dry side (-1). My perception of gyro was that the meat was supposed to be moist as it cooks on the rotisserie but I could be wrong.
Overall, I would recommend this place, and myself, would love to return to sample their other dishes like their pita combos, salads, and some of their interestingly named Greek platters!
