I used to go here all the time when I lived in the area 10 years ago. I went back a few days ago to relive a memory and was EXTREMELY disappointed. The young men that used to work there 10 years ago are no longer there. It's full of slightly older men who are NOT friendly and have ZERO customer service skills.

I walked in, one man looked very grumpy and didn't even acknowledge me. I asked if I should just sit down and he just shook his head. After waiting more than 10 minutes for a menu and water, it took 20 minutes for someone to come back and take my order. The restaurant only had 2 other tables to serve so it was not busy and both of them left by the time I received my menu.

Once the food came, I took about 4 bites and immediately felt sick. I had the WORST stomach ache. Not only have the portion sizes decreased, but the prices have gone up (which I know is to be expected) the salads were not fresh, the yogurt had a weird smell and I couldn't get over how rude the staff is. No one asked if I was ok or if I needed anything. They were all just in their own world and completely ignoring me.

After waiting another 15 minutes, I asked for take away containers and was only given 2 when I needed 5. I had to ask twice for more. I was fed up at this point and just packed what I could, paid and left.

This place is a disappointment now. I miss the old workers/management and the staff are all rude, grouchy looking men. It would be nice to have some female staff members to make it more balanced and welcoming. I got the closure I needed and definitely WON'T be...

Absolutely unacceptable. After eating food from your restaurant, both I and my child ended up violently ill — vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and total exhaustion. Symptoms started within hours.

This is a clear case of food poisoning. I’ve never experienced such severe consequences from a restaurant meal.

I’m deeply concerned about the hygiene, food safety, and quality control in your kitchen. The impact on our health was serious.

You owe your customers better. I urge you to investigate immediately before someone ends up in the hospital — or worse.

Update after owner’s reply:

It’s unfortunate that instead of acknowledging a serious health issue caused by your food, your response focuses on defending your reputation and implying the incident may not be real.

If you truly “care deeply about your customers,” perhaps start by showing concern for the ones who suffered after eating your food — instead of dismissing their experience as “false or misleading.”

Both I and my child experienced clear symptoms of food poisoning within hours of eating your meal. That’s not a review tactic — that’s a medical reality.

I did not write this to “unfairly harm” your business. I wrote it because two people got seriously sick. If that doesn’t deserve an investigation, then maybe your priorities aren’t what you claim them to be.

P.S. For transparency, I’ve attached a screenshot of my actual order — so there’s no doubt this review comes from a real customer who genuinely suffered after...
