This place rocks. Lots of cool Greek food and cool stuff on the walls. Very local and Californian type place. Eat a meal here you will not regret it.

Location opens at 11am and is an amazing lunch spot! Pricing is good for the amount given since they always load it up! The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. I tend to go for the Gyro Meat Plate that comes with 2 sides and pita but I recently tried the Wrap and its also really good

Ordered the gyro plate and super combo plate. The flavor was there (good seasoning and salt), but the gyro was very overcooked (hard/dry). The baklava high quality - not too sweet and very tasty. Will be giving the place another shot in the future as there is potential (perhaps the issue was due to us ordering 45mins before close), but it was a bit of a miss especially when there are reliable options like panini kabob grill nearby.

The restaurant is dirty and not well maintained. Food is average at best. First and last time visiting this establishment.

Their chicken kabobs, bread, and taziki are soooooooooo flavorful, I felt like doing a little dance after each bite. It makes me wish it was closer to my home. I love Greek food and this place is one of the best.
