| - The gyros are fine for take-out.
I'd been meaning to check this place out since I moved into the neighborhood about two years ago. It didn't happen until a visiting friend had ordered for delivery. We each had a gyro, and split a salad. It wasn't the best gyro I've ever had, but it was perfectly decent and satiated the craving.
He apparently ordered from here again the following week while I was at work - and had a less than stellar experience with the woman on the phone. Abusive was the term he kept using. What he described was in line with what many of the other reviewers here have shared.
I was recently craving gyro, so I decided to drive there and place a take-out order.
The place is small. The two people working were not at all friendly or happy to see me come in. Also, in no big hurry to approach me to take my order. The man who finally took my order seemed positively stressed that I was ordering a gyro AND a salad. The woman was on the phone with a customer - and I wouldn't necessarily assume she was abusive - just very impatient and having issues with the language barrier. Had I not been raised around a bunch of immigrants and New Yorkers, I may call it abusive, but I guess I have a higher tolerance than some. Still - I did not get any warm and fuzzy feelings while in here, and got no sense of being a valued customer at all.
The food itself was fine. The tzatziki is a little light on cucumber for my taste, but that's just my preference. The meat was juicy, the pita fresh. The small Greek salad was fine, too. Plenty of olives and feta.
I will probably eat here again - as there aren't a whole lot of options for gyros so close to home. I'll just remind myself it's for a decent meal for $10, not for the people or service.
