EDIT: Went here a 2nd time. Unfortunately I found the rice extremely stale and hard texture. Strangely I was impressed by their rice the first time. Potatoes were slightly better from being too salty. Wifey wants to give this place 1 more try. I'm hesitant, but a final visit will confirm whether it's inconsistency issues or this place just isn't for us.
I'll be giving this place another shot.
I really want to like this joint but my first experience was far short of expectations.
I ordered the BOGO deal on Uber eats. 2 chicken gyro plates and a baklava.
The rice is actually cooked quite well. Short grained, lightly seasoned, good separation and firm texture. What you'd expect of Greek style rice.
The chicken off the spit was decent to mediocre. A bit dry. Not to salty. Nothing to rave about, just serviceable.
The potatoes which are typically my favorite was OVERWHELMINGLY salty. This is why I will give it another shot. I think they just accidentally over seasoned it. The texture was great, nice coloring, but just gives my tongue salt burn.
The sauces are minimal. Only provided a small container of tzatziki(?). Not enough to compensate for the mild and dry chicken. They'd probably benefit from adding olive oil to the entirety of the plate.
The baklava was overtly sweet. It was good for me although I don't have enough reference to judge. I liked it.
Overall it's a mediocre Greek takeout joint off first impressions. Having a local takeout joint that I could get for convenience and comfort would be amazing, so I have high hopes for better luck in my next visit or just their improvement in recipe...
Read moreAs a long time resident of this neighborhood, there has not been any Greek option for dining for a long time and so I was truly, truly looking forward to the opening of this restaurant.
I took advantage of a BOGO promotional offer on UberEats and picked it up myself. 2 chicken souvlaki dinners.
• First and foremost, the portion size was very, very small. Not sure if that is due to BOGO offer but if so, they should state that explicitly in the details of the offer and the pictures used are misleading. Each dinner contained one skewer which had 5 SMALL cubes of meat (~1.5cm). Most souvlaki meat in town are about 1.5-2x as big, even the fast food chains. • The salad was very small as well. It tasted fresh. The feta cheese used did not taste authentic however in my opinion. • The “bread” that came with it IS bread. This is not an issue of quantity but of authenticity. I would have preferred the authenticity of PITA and not bread that is similar to a baguette with sesame seeds (or some other seed) on it. This was like the toasted bread you get with Italian food.
The young girls working the front counter needs more experience and professionalism. I did not feel very welcomed, on two separate occasions that I entered the restaurant, with two different girls - this is particularly important for a newly opened restaurant who wants to offer a first good impression.
I wish you good luck with your business endeavors and hopefully, the quality, quantity and authenticity of your food will improve over time, practice and experience. Happy to try again at...
Read moreSo I only get them three stars because I went into the store myself two times and I got myself chickens souvlaki dinner, which was amazing. The chicken was cooked on point. The portion was on point other than the fact that the Greek salad was definitely short on toppings. Only one slice of tomato maybe one slice of cucumber. And feta cheese was definitely less than, 1/4 of a teaspoon of feta cheese. Otherwise the , The flavor, the portion and the chicken was definitely cooked on point. But when I ordered an Uber eats so far 3 times, the portion is less than the amount that I received when I walked into the store. The salad is almost nothing on the salad except lettuce, the chicken is just chicken. Does not even have brown to the chicken, Almost pink… received two slices of potatoes. Overall, the portion size is far more less than you would receive when you walk into the store. And of course, the prices are more expensive than you would pay when walking into the store. so if they made it accordingly, maybe they would get a five star from me. I received the same food from Uber Eats that I received when I walked in. They would definitely receive five stars. I shouldn’t receive food differently just because I’m ordering through Uber eats. They are restaurant and they have a certain reputation to live up to. If they choose to accept orders through Uber Eats, they should , serve food if someone...
