Born and raised in the neighborhood and honestly I feel like quality in food dropped and the rise in the prices made it not worth coming to anymore. Especially after today when I was given unwarranted attitude while ordering. I’m translating for people who didn’t speak english and someone changed their mind. I was given attitude by the cashier and was spoken to like a dumb child “Do you want s m a l l or l a r g e? ” I know it can be annoying when you change you’re mind but she still persisted being patronizing. Gross. Especially after seeing her entire personality change when a man complimented her hair. She spent a while talking to him even when there was clearly another person behind him waiting to order. This was the last straw for rude service for okay food.

This is the third time eating from here. The lamb gyro was terrible, it smelled like chemicals, not seasoned at all, was very hard to chew. It used to be decent, but now its going down the drain. It is overpriced for what you get, and the food is sub-par, will never eat here again.

Food is good, service is awful, in fact no service- there was some bug flying over and over again, the server was just standing steps away, and there was no other table at the moment, however server did NOTHING.

The Turkish cashier is smoking hot and he is super super kind. Food is amazing, they better work on their chicken soup tho. Will be ordering here!

Mid experience, kinda pricey. More a grab and go spot. Don’t need to tip.

Decent portions, bland meats.

Loved the food, had amazing service and even gave us a free dessert at the end. I love everything about this restaurant and I’m sure you will too.

Reasonable Mediterranean lunch option o. 86th St. The chicken gyro was delicious but the lamb one was not even warm. We had the mezze plate - that was a small and plenty for a 2 pp share. My favorites were the hummus and babaganoush; came with fluffy breads. Will go back to try more.

Chicken gyro wasn’t done well it was raw while I eat, also the taste of lamb gyro was awful. They’re trying to give big portions but it’s not about portions, you should give tasty food as well.

Overcharged unnecessarily. Save your money and go to a better Turkish restaurant nearby.

The food was good, but the service was terrible. I went there solo. They charged me a service fee on top of asking me for a tip.

Food is on average but way too pricey $$$. You can get better food and service For the same amount they charge you to dine in. I would not recommend it. I think they should have above average food and excellent service if they are charging so much money to dine in. Also the environment and atmosphere are not very clean and hygiene.

Worse worse customer service! Ever
The girl I talked to was sooo nice but management is disgusting and the worse worse! Nasty and hang up on me twice! After waiting 10 minutes!
My order was cold, no sauces no napkins, no nothing when you pay almost 50 dollars!
They won’t even help u! They ignored me and hang up on me! So will never ever order from them again!

The restaurant was clean and layout was very spacious. One thing about the indoor dining was, from time to time, we had mosquito and gnat visitors.

Our server was trying his best but they were severely understaffed but nonetheless he was very prompt with the delivery of our food and answered any questions we had.

The food was overall quite good. We got the mixed appetizer, mixed grill cover bread, the mozzarella pizza and their version of the sprite.

Overall the food was great and I would order it again.

I have been first time in that restaurant and hopefully last time. Service and food was horrible.
