Great food for the price. Wonderful variety. Family owned and great customer service. We order falafel, gyros, cheesesteaks, fries, onion rings and more. Always happy! Check them out. We visit about once a month.

Terrible customer service. While I'm Hillsboro delivering packages for work I stopped in because I wasn't feeling well and needed to put something on my stomach and to grab a cup of ice. I waited at the register for 5 mins before the gentleman behind the counter came to take my order. From there I purchased a gyro the gentleman had a sour attitude and yet I paid him no attention. I then asked for a cup of ice and was told it would be a dollar. That plus the amount for the sandwich would've been the same as me getting a combo. So I'm going to be up charged and not get fries. And all for a cup of ice I honestly drink 85% water, 2% juice or soda, 13% alcohol routinely. Not only is that highway robbery but you have to be rude. I was good on the food and cup of ice. I recommend going to the American hero in Durham if your craving is that strong.

Do yourself a favor and get the chicken kabob platter! I don't get the salad because I don't care for the toppings on Greek salad, but I'm sure it's delicious for the ones who like it! I got this dish THREE DAYS IN A ROW because it was so delicious! The pita is amazing, the tzatziki is fresh, the rice is seasoned, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Now I want some lol.

Good food. Nice people. The look is nothing special, but it's worth the visit. Chicken parm sub was tasty. Can't wait to go back for falafel

If you're looking for a quick, fairly authentic place then this is it. I got the Gyro, and didn't wait long for my sandwich, but was surprised how small the sandwich was and how little meat there was. The guy at the counter was brisk, and when I asked if the baklava was homemade told me no. Pro: They're fast & clean, quick in and out, and good taste.Con: No value, minimal amount of meat - especially for the price, poor customer service.

It's pretty good. My husband had a salad and enjoyed it, I had a lamb gyro platter. Not fantastic but decent. The guy with us had a sub and seemed to enjoy it. We'd go back and try some more things. Hillsborough doesn't have that much but this is a nice addition.

Just visited this place today for lunch with my fiancé. Food was pretty good but the service beyond horrible. The guys up front taking the orders very rude and unprofessional. Refused to give sandwich bags. Just a nasty attitude from jump. I will not be returning here. Much rather have the one in Roxboro, NC where the service is never bad. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone honestly.

Food was just ok. Lamb gyro meat was quite salty. The lamb gyro platter was just kind of a pile of hummus with some sliced vegetables underneath and strips of gyro meat on top. The babaganoush was excellent and the pita bread was quite good!

Terrible service and food . I didn't expect fine dining service but a simple hello would've been nice. I ordered a Chicken Philly and and what I received as a boiled chicken sub. After one bite I threw it in the trash.

We swear every time we go here that we won't return because of the consistent rudeness of the staff. Food is just ok. If you like "just ok" and don't mind a consistently unfriendly to angry guy taking your order....give it a try.
