Had a lovely lunch today. Flavors were on point, service was friendly and fast. They were extremely busy but seemed to keep up just fine! I loved the light flavors of the gyro and the fries were crisp and seasoned to perfection. The cheese steak was definitely a different take than I’ve had previously but it was great as well. Didn’t get a chance to try the baklava but it looked delicious and we will definitely try it next time! I loved the lights and thought the overall decor added to the experience. Nice patio to sit on if it ever stops raining.

This was a great little spot! Had an awesome burger that had had ham and bacon on it. The bun was soft and perfect, fresh veggies, a good slice of ham, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. The star of the show was the hot sauce for sure. It didn’t take much to have a great level of heat that kept flavors viable. Can’t say I loved the French fries but they went down anyhow. Come try this guys!

We ate here a week or so ago and I had the unbelievable burger over Turkish rice and Greek salad and it was amazing so I had to come back to try the shrimp gyro over salad and I love it. My daughter had an unbelievable burger on a bun, and it’s burger worthy, according to her. I love the options and flavor here. Can’t wait to try something new next time.

Best gyros in town. They don’t skimp on the portion size, either. Meat and fries are always seasoned well and fresh. Really good hummus. The hot sauce is a must try. I’ve eaten in the restaurant and gotten delivery and have not been disappointed by much. Not the biggest fan of the falafel, but I’ve mostly gotten the falafel for delivery. I’ll have to actually try it in the restaurant. Inside the restaurant is great service and a full bar, plus televisions if you’re into sports. I highly recommend.

I want to specifically thank Linda for welcoming us and serving us warmly over a spontaneous lunch. We’re new to COS and were in the area trying to find another store that had gone out of business. The area is somewhere economically depressed, which might explain the lack of bustle around this restaurant. But I will echo every other review by saying how wonderful our Greek and Turkish dishes were that we had for lunch. Very tasty and no digestive issues afterward for those who are wondering. There is a full bar and a good selection of bottled beers available. Everything you could want for a great lunch is here, for under $20. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer and I hope Linda is still there when I return. The light fixtures were beautiful! Bring your friends and tell everyone about this fantastic restaurant.

Arabian halal place, with lot of burger options. Ambience is not great for family gatherings, but staff was very welcoming. Liked their Mediterranean burger and grilled chicken burger. Rest of dishes were passable like Greek salad and American burger!

I ordered online it was an extra $2.00 per meal. I got gyros. I asked for the sauce on the side knowing my kids would not eat it if they weren’t plain. I got home and of course the sauce was on them and seemed to have extra sauce. The food was good. But I waisted two meals because they couldn’t follow instructions and I could have got a whole extra meal for the price they charge online.

I picked up take out from here so no comment on atmosphere. The food is legit and really good. Flavorful and well portioned I definitely would come here again either in person or for take out. The staff that I interacted with was very sweet and helpful.
