It genuinely pains me to have to leave this review, as I generally liked the food here and have been coming here for quite some time. The food is pretty consistent and the staff was always nice, so I never really had any complaints.

Unfortunately my last two trips here is causing me to change my mind. After getting recommended the baklava when asking one of the girls up front which dessert would be good to get, I bought two and took them home. After our dinner, we noticed that one of the baklava's had mold on it(after taking a bite), and wanted to let the restaurant know just in case they had others that might've also been going bad so they were aware. Of course, we had to throw both of ours out and was told by someone there that we'd receive a credit for the issues on our next visit and they were extremely apologetic.

Look, I know things happen and sometimes food goes bad unexpectedly for a multitude of reasons. I had no real reason to doubt this was an oversight and I had no problems ordering again given the usual consistency of their food and service. Unfortunately, my last trip left me a bit sour as they didn't honor my credit and had no recollection or seemed to care about it whatsoever. I was just told I can be given another baklava, which I quickly declined(no offense).

I added two photos that I took that had the mold, just in case the restaurant didn't want to believe me for some reason. It's unfortunate but I'll have to look for a new Greek spot...

I have been here 2-3 times before. My most recent visit, I had a hair in my tzatziki sauce and my gyrolls were burnt. I called and was told that the owner was not there so I had to wait until she could give me a call back. A week passed and I never received a call. Today I called the restaurant again and was rudely greeted by the owner. I explained to her what had happened with my food and that I was told I would get a call back. She said her employees never told her anything. The owner then told me that she has never had this issue in a year and a half and proceeded to say “so what do you want me to do?” How about be professional and apologetic? There’s a first for everything; therefore, this may have been the first time that her cooks burnt a customers gyrolls and lost a hair in a customers food. Then before I could ask for my refund, she hung up on me! Customer service is awful and I would recommend this place if you want a hair with...
