"I've come here twice now, once for dine in and once for takeout. It's a solid, no nonsense Mediterranean place that's somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me. I've enjoyed the lamb beef gyro plate and the similar wrap, both of which are generous in size. I'd put them both in the B to B tier. Mint limeade drink was a lovely surprise I was expecting a typically over sugary drink like lemonade but it was the perfect amount of slightly sweet and lime y! But it's $6, keep that in mind . I really enjoyed the baklava too, though I got it to go and the container doesn't fit the brown bag they put it in, so the box was tilted and the clear syrup ? sorta leaked all over the place when I got it for takeout. Hopefully just a one time packaging mishap. Still delicious even after a 15min drive home. Tbh I'd really only come here because the location is great and there's lots to do nearby, but there are definitely better fast casual Mediterranean spots in Seattle that are just a short drive away, especially for the price which I believe is the biggest drawback. Pretty expensive for what you get in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. The staff presumably the owners are not super friendly, but also not outright rude either. Other quirks or things to just know No free tap water which I find very odd. But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry? Bathroom is locked by default, so you have to ask them to unlock it for you. They do prefer cash to save on credit card fees. They don't really have a sign anywhere telling you up front, and only mentioned it once when I dined in with a large group. Point of sale Clover didn't ask if I wanted a receipt. I only care because I think they charge some kind of credit card fee but didn't mention this, as my cost both times have been a little higher than I would expect. However it was only 70 cents more than my calculation using the 10.25% combined tax so I'm not gonna cry over it. If I come next time, I will try to ask for a receipt."
