I’ve gotten carry out here twice and both times it was absolutely delicious!! Don’t think there’s anything else like it around here. I agree the chicken was slightly on the dry side, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

This is a great Mediterranean restaurant & grocery combined! The service was quick & friendly. Food was great! We ordered the baba ganoush appetizer, falafel sandwich, and chicken tekka which can with salad & the lentil soup. All was delicious, portions were generous, and staff was attentive. They carry lots of cooking supplies & specialized ingredients in the grocery section as well. Would stop again!

Giving 5 stars because this food was incredible. We got the 5 meat combo so we could try everything, and WOW. Every. Single. Thing. Was. Delicious. This is the place you want legit authentic Mediterranean. The tea was the real deal—loose leaf with strainer and fresh mint, served in a small kettle at the table with lovely porcelain cup. Just double check when you order if you are getting the dish as an entree (with rice) or as a gyro/sandwich.
