This is a nice, quiet place to enjoy some really good and authentic Mediterranean food. Miss Kari did a fantastic job of taking care of us and the food was delicious. The pita bread was exceptional compared to others. The salad was so fresh, and the gyro plate was great! We will be back again.

Ordered the shish tawook plate and it didnt disappoint. I eat a lot and I had leftovers for the next day. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. Right after I ate it I called my friend and made her order the same thing. Friendly staff, definitely going to keep it in rotation.
