I saw all these great reviews so I went to check out this place,and I was extremely dissapointed. Yes, it's pretty cheap and fast service, but the menu is very limited and not paricularly good. If you want a quick gyro for lunch it would work, but if you're looking for a full greek dinner with variety and really quality ingredients, this is not it. The tzaziki is basically sour cream with garlic mixed in (I thought this was a yogurt based sauce??), the greek salad is nothing more than iceberg lettuce with some tomatoes and olives, and the spanakopita tastes like a microwaveable popover stuffed with spinach. It's not a terrible place, I just want to be clear that it's not a full-service greek restaurant and from reading the other reviews I was under the misapprehension that it was.
