    We absolutely love this place. We’ll drive up from Santa Barbara just for the Gyro. The lamb chop is ridiculous and their garlic paste sauce is unmatched from anything like it we’ve ever had anywhere in America. Everything is so fresh and well prepared. I don’t think there’s anything on the menu that isn’t amazing. The Meat Sambousk is also incredible. The service is always great and friendly. The outside patio is beautiful! And the lentil soup will change your life! And please don’t forget to have the baklava for desert! SO ADDICTIVE! I’m glad we live an hour away. I’d be broke and fat from eating here every day!

    There is a dog friendly, lovely, warm patio. The food and service was excellent! They have a lunch menu and a dinner menu. They also have a full bar.

    Food is nice but I waited 50 mins to get a single plate of food. They said it was busy but there were just 5 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. All the tables that came after us were already finishing their meals, when I just got mine.
