I had never tried Greek food before until I tried this place. All the attorneys would tell me to try their Chicken Gyro, apparently it’s one of the best around this area. I tried it and never looked back. That’s all I get from there. I realized I had been missing out. I have yet to try the coffee there which I have also heard great things about. This place is cozy & always busy with people so I recommend ordering ahead of time. They are very popular and the customer service is amazing. I’m always greeted with friendly faces. Love this place

I have a problem with my appetite, but the lamb gyro yesterday was fantastic and large. I ate it all day and gave the rest to my cat and racoons. Not bad. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes.

This place is amazing! Everything on the menu is so good (lamb gyro is my favorite but the falafel is to die for). Food is fresh and portions are huge. If you want real authentic Greek food, this is the spot. It also doesn’t hurt that the owner is one of my favorite people. ...

Delicious salad, great service...In fact, I am going 2 days in a row. What surprised me most was patrons and other people in the area all greeted me. Even though it is near the jail it is actually a very pleasant area.

i went in and had a classic gyro. it was really good and i got my food pretty quickly. the prices are great, the meat is tender, and everyone was friendly. i’m looking forward to having more tasty gyros from them, as well as trying their other menu items! parking is a little rough, as it’s in front of the courthouse, but worth the effort.

Nice staff, and the real gyro was the real deal fr, the pita tasted amazing. I can't wait to get in trouble again so I can visit the courthouse and eat here again. And the price was super fair.

Very picky when it comes to eating out, especially gyros. Came to the court for some documents and stopped by. Can honestly say rating it 5 stars is not enough. Friendly staff, great food, fresh ingredients, and great customer service. Definitely a great place to stop by and eat.
