Trudy Johnson
The flavor of the food is fabulous. Couldn’t decide what to order to chose the sampler. Meat and Falafel were over cooked and as a result dry but still tasty. When you eat here I hope you’re fortunate enough to have Christina wait on you. Her infectious smile and bubbly personality make it worth the trip here!

Same menu as the other locations but a much more latino flare. Very good food! this is the best of all of the purple onion locations.

The food is always good. It’s counter service and the people are nice and respectful. The building is an old McDonald’s so it’s very dated inside but I don’t really care. We eat here all the time.

The food was good. The staff was nice. Everything wasn’t bad but I gave the 4 stars because I feel like the bathroom should be kept up with at a restaurant and they didn’t have soap in there. First time here and this was a quick stop.

this place is AWESOME! 10/10. The restaurant is really charming inside and out. To the fountain outside with spacious seating, to the plentiful seating inside. This place is perfect for those wanting to try something way better than tazikis. Authentic Mediterranean food with plenty of options to choose from. Everything is made fresh and the staff here are very friendly. Definitely coming back for the ambience ♥️

Specifically the Pelham location has amazing food, fast service, and there is always plenty of room! We get the same thing every single time – a barbecue chicken and gyro combination potato with extra barbecue sauce.
