We loved the welcoming staff and server. The food is delicious, and the drinks are original (not a full bar). But we were rushed toward the end of our meal because all the other patrons had left, and the staff wanted to close up. In total, we were in only for 56 min, and at 8:00 pm, we were in the street. I didn't have time to finish my drink. We will again, though.

The salmon was good but the pork gyros was tasteless with no real flavor. It was extremely overpriced as well. The lamb gyros was okay and the chicken wrap was bland. All in all, it was very overpriced for a dinner for 4.
