Nice variety of food in the menu, big portions, prices are relatively high, we ordered the gyros dinner and souvlaki dinner. For me the chicken is a bit dry I won't order it again. but overall good experience . Definitely will come back to try new plates.

Were were house hunting in the area and popped in here for a quick bite and are we ever glad we did! The pork souvlaki was so tender and flavourful with the perfect blend of spices, on a soft pita and garlic tzatziki sauce! Chef’s kiss! Friendly staff, quick service. Will definitely return

Greasy food not worth it imo. Quick service. It's usually busy though. Maybe it was just our choices. Update: April 2021 So after a prolonged hiatus, we gave it another shot as a.visitor wanted to get take out there in Oct 2020... We ordered double bacon cheese burger combos and Chicken Greek Salads. W O W - impressed, the cheeseburgers were juicy and very flavourful. Chicken on the salad was tender and very tasty. Good portions. These items along with their fried chicken burger have become regular items for us now. We have ordered at least 6 more times since last fall.. I heard their subs are also popular and will try them in the future. Changed rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. My only regret was not going back and giving it another shot sooner.
