I went today with two friends and it was a horrible experience. First of all, they sat us right under a leaking air conditioner, so I was pretty wet by the end of the meal.
I ordered a lamb Gyro and the waitress asked me if I want the platter that comes with the rice and the salad or the sandwich that comes inside the pita bread. I asked her if it is possible to get the lamb platter but add a piece of pita bread with it. She told me sure, that it wasn't a problem.
When the food came, a male waiter came with the food instead of the waitress. There was no pita bread with it, and he flat out refused to let me have a piece of pita bread even though I told him that the waitress said it was OK. I asked him what his title is, and he said he is a waiter. I thought perhaps he was the owner or manager. He actually told me to take some of the Turkish bread that was on the table which was part of my friends' meals that came with their salads and their hummus.
Their sauce is very thin and watery, but I guess that is the Turkish sauce. It's not the thick and delicious tzatziki sauce, which you get in the diners and the Greek places. Also, it says on the menu that the lamb is mixed with beef.
We had told the original waitress that we wanted two seltzers with lemon and one tap water. When this male waiter came out, he brought us three cans of seltzer, and he gave us a very hard time about them getting glasses of seltzer with a piece of lemon in each.
My two friends that were with me told me that they frequent this restaurant but that today it was not good.
I am a very good tipper, and I had every intention of not leaving this waiter even a penny because I did not touch my lamb platter in order to take it home after stopping at a store to buy tzatziki sauce. I already had pita bread at my house. Well, lo and behold, he included almost a $10 tip for himself in the bill! ( It said right on the bill " tip included"). On the other copy of the bill, it said "service charge", but I don't know what that's for.
This review should not come as a surprise to anyone in the restaurant, because when I saw the woman waitress, I told her that the waiter that brought us our food refused to give me a single piece of pita bread, and then she said she will try and came back and said that she couldn't get it either. I told the waiter that for a lousy piece of bread it was going to be worth a terrible review, but he didn't seem to care.
Anyway, bread or no bread, I would not recommend this restaurant.
