| - I've been by this place a couple of times, and am a bit ashamed to say I haven't been by more, since I literall live within walking distance of this place. This entire plaza actually has lots of hole in the wall gems- Chino Bandido's is most famous, but Good Fella's is awesome, and so is Muffin But the Best.
But more about Good Fellas. It's greek, and it's family owned. Each time we've been in it's been the same gentleman manning the front counter. He's soft spoken, so nice, and if you tell him it's your first time here he'll go out of his way to recommend things to you. The husband usually gets the gyros, and I get the gyro or the two meat plate, as I'd rather usually eat with my utensils, versus my hands.
The gyro meat is outstanding, and I love the tzatziki sauce that comes with it. Now granted, I'm just a sucker for tzatziki in general, but this stuff is good. The meat is thinly sliced, and crisp, and the rice itself has lots of good flavor. His pita is always soft and fluffy and warm, and they are generous with the gyro meat and the tzatziki. I really ought to try out other specialities of theirs- I'm a sucker for a good plate of dolmades and a nice spanakopita.
What takes this place from good to great though- is the service. As mentioned by some others- I'm pretty sure the gentleman manning the cash register owns the place, and he's always comped us a bowl of soup each time we've been in. He even recognizes us. I get the curry and potato, and in this weather it's amazing. Warm and hearty and very curry like. He's ultra nice, and the food comes out promptly.
Cons? It's a small operation, so I've dined here before and noticed the tables not cleared away right after patrons leave. Not a deal breaker, but for those of you who are finicky... you may not like that. That and the fact that it's in a crappy little hole of a complex. They're a fairly new operation and clearly renovated before they came in- Chino's is a lot worse, but again. Some of you might care about that. Oh, and they're also not open on Sundays. Bummer when I'm craving nice greek after church.
Definitely give it a shot- it's a regular on my list, and not just because of it's proximity.
