"This was definitely one of our favourite Greek restaurants in Athens. The gyros were extremely fatty and delicious! Highly recommend! And the Greek salad had a lot of tomatoes, which I also enjoy."

"My lovely lady and I came here seeking the sweet taste of gyros. Our server seemed to be extremely rushed and working 10 jobs at once, so I can’t knock him for that, but what I can say is that the services we received was equivalent to that of a McDonalds. This was disappointing, especially seeing many reviews about how good and attentive the service was.
The real issue was when our food came out. We had hoped for chicken gyros, but unfortunately they had run out of chicken, so we settled for pork gyros. Our food was served very quick after ordering (about 5 minutes), which was much appreciated. However, the biggest issue was that our gyros were made without the fries and lettuce. This may not seem like a big deal, but once we realized that the other people (who were locals, speaking in Greek) had gyros with fries and lettuce, we felt heavily discriminated against, as we were tourists.
All in all, if you’re a tourist, stay away from this place. You’ll be discriminated against as we were. If you’re a local, go all in on this place"

"Veryyy delicious, no fries which was pretty different, but the portion was fair.
The pork skewers were soooo tender and well seasoned but not overly salty
The Greek salad was also delicious
It’s so busy though. The servers take forever to even acknowledge us…"
