Love getting my greek gyros and Palestinian food fix from here.

The shop is small but delightful, offering delicious frozen foods like flavorful falafel and a variety of tasty potatoes. They also have ready-to-eat sandwiches, like chicken gyro and lamb over rice, as well as tasty options like chopped cheese. Plus, the service is very friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable.

I get the lamb over rice here at least once a week, it's fantastic. The guys who were there are great, they let you decide how much sauce you want which is a really nice touch.

Fantastic and friendly business owner and the mixed over rice is the best in the area! 10/10 would recommend

The food here is really good. The guy inside is always nice and makes excellent food. So far, I've had their chopped cheese and lamb over rice. Both were really good, and with the store being within walking distance from me, I could see myself stopping in weekly for something. I am looking forward to trying more of his menu and continuing to shop here. An absolute local gem of a place.

After hearing through some workers at the Watervliet Aersinal about the food and the quality and quantity of the food, we decided to give it a try. I went there and placed an order. We ordered 3 orders of chicken with rice, chicken gyro, fries, and an order of mozzarella sticks. All the food was cooked to order and was fresh. It only took about 20 minutes to make. Take out only, and everything was excellent. There is plenty of food in a single order. You can call ahead and place your order or do an online order. I will be back again to try something different.
