    The chicken was so greasy it covered all the food whoever made the bowl went crazy weird with their portions made the bowl absolutely disgusting. The cava in Ocala tastes like heaven compared to this. These restaurants in Gainesville need to be run better college kids working it or not!

    Just stopped in this location for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the service from Sam. Sam was alone in the front greeting customers and preparing food. They were friendly and efficient and made our group smile. Food was fresh and place was clean.
