I really wanted to love this place because I love Greek food. I ordered the Gyro Plate with Chicken "to go". The chicken was salty, greasy, processed and was literally chicken crumbs in a box.

The "salad" that came with the plate was only red onions with three tiny tomatoes slices and it was undressed. The fries were good, pita was dry and cold. If I were in the restaurant I would have sent it all back for them to try again.
