“ This review is for the froyo only!!!! This froyo was sooo delightful. The portions are so generous and you really get the most bang for your buck! If I wanted to get this much frozen yogurt back at home, it would be at least $10.. I paid around $6.50 for this! The only flavor they have is tart, which is my favorite flavor anyways. You can add a chocolate shell or baklava + honey for extra so maybe I'll try that out next time. The baklava topping sounds amazing Service was kind of off but I think it was because they were super busy with a lot of take out orders. The inside has quite a lot of tables and chairs to sit at. It wasn't the cleanest though and there were a handful of flies circling around :/ ”
“ This place was pricey but nice outdoor atmosphere for a Saturday evening stroll downtown. ”
“ Stopped in for a quick bite. Place was clean and bright, but wasn't busy at all about 6 on a Monday night. Got the Gyro bowl and the beef/lamb gyro meat was nice &! ender. Bowl had great flavor overall. ”
“ The service here was very laidback and nice! The man at the counter helped me with any questions I had and even asked about my day. His service was great, even brought the food out to us. The food was overall great. I believe the fries were the best part. My domestic partner and I only ordered the lamb/beef gyro combo with the Nick fries and that was enough to fill us both up. (Less than 20$ to feed 2 people is a steal in this area!) The only thing, which is nobody's fault is that you will taste this food with every burp, swallow, or breath after. So drink a lot of water after! ”
“ Gyro bowl is the way to go! My favorite thing there, they pack the bowls enough for two meals. I typically share it wit my son. The chicken is always super tender and loaded with alot of meat. The spicy yogurt sauce is my favorite. The rice is always perfectly cooked and I always get extra rice. The service is always super fast, Its way better option for fast food. Nice and clean inside. ”
“ I tried their food many times in San Francisco area. We liked it all except the pork I was not to send. We tried it today for the first time at Monterey downtown and the food was good when you walked in we were the only two, but then the head like six tables, families, eating It's really big portions. And the quality was same as the one in San Francisco. Their flies have some spices it's not hot, but just spicy and like perfume. If you come on a day like today, you can see many tents outside maybe some festivities. This place is never super busy. Just busy enough to keep to stay in business. The music is loud and today the theme was Indian. The music was more Greek in San Francisco. Easy parking on the streets even though you have to walk hundred yards or 200 yards. ”
“ We are so glad we stopped at this place. A nice spot to sit down without being a sit down restaurant. The food was refreshing and filling. The meat was tender and we didn't need to add any sauces or seasoning. The young lady at the counter was so nice and every customer that came in was excited to see her :) will eat again :) ”
