Delicious! first time eating here. Got takeout thanks to Covid and it couldn't have been smoother or faster. I called in my order and it was ready for me by the time i got there. Great set up for the times. Hand sanitizer by all doors, asking patrons to use it upon entering and of course masks. Now on to the good part: the food. beef/lamb gyros were SOOO delicious. i also ordered a side of the spicy yogurt sauce to go with it. a great addition i might add. We will be back for sure!

I love gyros, and their pretty good here. It's just, I wish their fries weren't so soggy. Otherwise this place would be a solid 10. Points for hospitality, they gave away tp during covid and I thought that was very thoughtful.

I was impressed by their falafel wrap, crunchy fresh veggies, flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked falafel. My friend got their beef/lamb combo and said the meat was tasty too. The Greek fries are adorned with garlic, herbs, and feta- really tasty. Not as good of a menu selection as Vasilis but the service is quick and the food way surpasses what I would consider "fast food". If you like Greek food I recommend giving this place a try.

I normally am pretty picky when it comes to Mediterranean food but this place is GREAT! The chicken gyro is the best I've ever tried! They put mustard instead of tzatziki sauce, and it really complimented it well! The lamb/beef gyro is also great. High recommend this place, definitely my go-to!!

Dang... nick the greek is soo good! They're open later which is amazing in this town and their food is always 100% quality good shit. Idk what else to say.. the Greek fries, the gyros, hummus and pita. Everything is delicious. 5++ go here for late(er) food in SC. Or choose pizza. Your call. Harmony was great at the front she's amazing and made sure everything went smoothly!! All around great place for when everyone else in Santa Cruz closes.

If I could give 0, I would. The meals themselves looked 100% different than in the photos. How can you make such unappetizing, tasteless Greek food? There wasn't even salt on the chicken souvlaki - which also happened to be dry, cold and rubbery. It must already be cooked, and then they put it on the griddle - but don't even warm it up. The salad - tasteless. No dressing, no olives - the cheese was some kind of waxy queso. You couldn't at least get some cheap feta at Costco? The french fries - undercooked with some... read more

I ordered the beef plate , 2 sides of chicken, a gyro pita and all was awful $45 in the trash the chicken was sooooo dry ! It was inedible .. the rice was heavy on the seasoning and very dry. The only good thing was the pita bread . The ice cream looked good but I didn't want to take the chance to try it given that all the other items were terrible. Service was welcoming, clean seating area, clean bathroom.

10:45 pm, girl at counter is beyond unhappy working here. Unfortunately the poor attitude towards customers is reflecting the business, definitely will not come back here and wasted my money on my meal. The owners should be aware of who's running their investment.
