"First time here, it was awesome! There were two ladies that were just customers giving us the scoop on how to order and all their favorites, it was hilerious and so kind of them! They couldn't have been any friendlier! There was so much to pick from I might have to make a special trip there again. I had the amaretto cherry ice cream, it was so delicious! The best ice cream I think I've ever had! It has huge cherries and dbig chunks of chocolate in it! I ordered a small but it was so huge! Glad I didn't get 2 scoops I would have needed a bucket! The prices weren't so bad either. They have Italian ice, gelato, soft serve, and reg ice cream. There might be more but that's what I noticed. Great place! I'll definitely return if I'm ever in that neighborhood again. Enjoy!!"

"I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. They call it Nepalese but it's just a fancy name for Indian food that I love. There are many excellent Indian restaurants here, but this is not one of them. Firstly, there were no other customers when we got there. Two parties came in after us and we are looked after before us. We expressly told the waitress everything mild. When we ordered a birayani she forgot to tell us until we complained that it is always spicy. We started with an inedible lentil soup. It was cold and salty. We asked for hot tea and she said they had gone out that afternoon. Our chicken tikka was all sauce and very little chicken. We sent it back and told them to add more chicken. The shrimp dish was the same - all sauce and hardly any shrimp. The sauces over the rice were pleasant, but overpriced for how little you got. We enjoyed the starter of Mo MO and the Chana Masala. I love Mango Lassi, but they just poured it out of a 1 gallon container. It was probably pre-made in the supermarket. Don't go here when we have such a large and diverse Indian community with excellent restaurants across the region."

"This place is a whole vibe!!! The outside patio is very cute, perfect for a date night or girls day drinking. Whew but I loved it. My husband and daughter had a great time. We started with some margaritas and the special of the day ceviche it was delicious. My husband had Ropa vieja and I had the Cochinita Pibil. My daughter had the cheeseburger sliders. We also had a side of rice and beans, Elote and dessert. We tried the cookie skillet with ice cream, churros and tres leche. The service was great thanks to Jayden (not sure how to spell his name) and the food was phenomenal. We will definitely will return!!!"

"I visited this restaurant for the first time with my mom, daughter, and son-in-law for lunch, and we were highly recommended it by my daughter and son-in-law. As soon as we walked in, the delicious smells caught our attention. We tried the flaming cheese (saganaki, I believe) and I am now hooked! The waitress also brought us bread, a plate full of olives (yum), and butter to nibble on. Three of us ordered the trio platter, while my daughter ordered the chicken gyros platter - everything was perfect! For dessert, we each enjoyed a slice of baklava. I felt like taking a nap right there, as it would have been the perfect ending to a fun and delicious lunch. We will definitely be returning! Thank you Central Gyros for an amazing lunch experience!"

"Their new space is really beautiful and our food was good nothing special, but totally serviceable. We ordered caprese salad and I was surprised to see it served with picked tomatoes rather than fresh. I found the service underwhelming at our last visit it somehow felt rushed but also very slow. When we arrived, our table was covered in crumbs, which the host brushed off onto the floor which his hand. This resulted in the seats also getting covered in crumbs, so we had to clean those up too. Two of us ordered drinks a cocktail and a wine midway through the dinner the cocktail drinker asked a busboy about ordering a beer; he said he'd get the waiter, but then a while later the waiter just showed up with another of the same cocktail AND another serving of wine which he just started pouring. Nothing egregious, but just enough that it didn't feel like a relaxing night out."
