Really great experience with a cuisine I don't normally deter to. Excellent service, the ambiance was okay, more cafeteria than cafe. But not in a disappointing way.

Decided to try this restaurant as we were in the mood for some good Greek food and it had good reviews. Personally, we ended up thinking it was ok. Not good, not bad. I had the gyro. The description said it was shaved off of the spit. It may have been originally, but it was definitely cooked on a griddle as the meat was dark brown on each side and pretty dry. It wasn’t freshly shaven as I was hoping. My wife got the chicken souvlaki. She said the chicken was good, but when the wrap was opened it was very soggy. We ordered some Greek fries which were soggy as well and the feta wasn’t great quality. More of a rubbery texture than nice and crumbly. Then lastly was the spicy feta dip. This was decent, but was watery on the top when we first opened it so I’m guessing it had been sitting in that container for a bit and separated.
Now we ordered this to go so I can give a little leeway with some of the sogginess, but we only live about 10 minutes from the restaurant.
So overall, this is just an ok experience for me. If things were more fresh I’m sure it would be much better. Until then I’ll be on the search for a better option.
