| - Don't get the 5-star reviews at all! Any other Mediterranean place I've been too is better than this one. Wow. Not only is the food underwhelming I also don't like the "I think I just got screwed" feeling either. And here is what happened...
We got a coupon for this place in a local mailer and decided to try it for a quick bite. The place looks kind of like a fast food/take out food joint but the prices are for a sit down restaurant! My husband decided to get a lamb shish kabob plate, I decided on a lamb/beef shawarma plate and a chicken kebab plate for our son.
Side note: their kids' menu sucks! I don't even know why bother putting two items there and calling it "kids' menu". They offer chicken strips, that don't look good even in the picture, and pita pizza that looks equally unappetizing. So we decided to get a plate for our son.
Anyway, the over-the-top cheery guy at the counter (which always gives me a feeling I'm about to get screwed) excitedly informed us they were pretty much out of lamb and suggested that my husband could get a combo plate beef and lamb (because they did have half an order of lamb left) and I could get a beef and lamb gyro plate. Ugh. If you offer 8 plates on your menu and 3 or 4 of them include lamb maybe you should consider stocking up on it. But whatever, we didn't make a big deal out of it and just changed our order. Well, with no side dishes/appetizers or anything extra and three small drinks it came up to $40!!!!!!!! Seriously?! We had a 10$ off coupon which brought it down to $30 but come on now! For that kind of place? Also turned out that of course my husband's plate was more expensive than what he originally wanted to order. And that's what I had a problem with. If you are out of smth your customer orders, just offer a substitute for the same price, right? Nope, charged us more because it was the most expensive plate on the menu. And it's not even about the 2-3$ it's about customer service.
Now about the food... My husband's kabobs were ok, but my gyro meat tasted weird, waaay more beefy of course than lamb, and just not good. The rice was overcooked and their "Mediterranean salad" (which is just some cucumbers, tomatoes and onions) was completely tasteless. The tsatsiki sauce was too watery and also meh. So if we didn't have a coupon we would've paid $40 for a mediocre, nothing to rave about meal!
I have to say that we went to frys and gyros place ( I think that's what it's called), also on ray rd before and it was waaaaay better and much more reasonably priced than this joint.
Again, no idea where the 5 star reviewers are coming from. Will not come back!
