| - I had just learned about this establishment through the reviews of fellow yelpers, and their reviews are spot on!
I was really surprised to see that besides being an eatery they also have a small section of their store set up as a grocery. Basically, it's a few coolers stocked with their wonderful hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli, and other freshly prepared products. You can get all of your basic greek/mediterranean fixings like grape leaves, feta, and a really impressive selection of ground spices. They have a wonderful array of desserts to stuff down your gullet, too.
Now onto the food. The gyro I ordered was really good. Great portion size, and the tzatziki sauce was heavenly! You can tell they use the very freshest of yogurt to make this sauce. (I ended up going back the following day and buying a tub of it in the grocery section!)
I had also ordered the baba ganoush, and it had a great creamy consistency of pureed eggplant and scrumptious garlicky goodness.
While waiting for my food I was able to strike up a conversation with one of the proprietors and she explained to me that everything is done on the premises - save for some of the packaged/imported foods. And there's no denying her claim either. I was even able to take a peak into the kitchen, and it was immaculately spotless. Always a great sign. My next visit will focus explicitly on the falafal - and you can bet that there'll be an update from me on those.
While the dining area isn't anything to write home about as it consists of some tables with plastic table covers the main point to keep in mind is that you're there for the food. The food here is the star.
By the time I was walking out the door I couldn't help be feel like I was parting ways with a new extension of my family.
Wonderful people making wonderful food. And at the end of the day those are the main ingredients to any amazing meal.
