    Memo was awesome, super accommodating. while we waited for our takeout order he brought us out samples of their rice pudding (delicious!) the maza platter and lamb platter are both amazing as well!

    The food was excellent! The customer service was on point and yes, the bathrooms were tidy. I do plan on going back to try several other entrees on the menu. Bravo.

    Colorful salads, perfectly seasoned meats & soft warm bread are only half of what’s great about this restaurant. Owner Al Ozelci brings the other half: fatherly charm & hospitality. [Eater 38 Member]

    No regrets, probably one of the best places I’ve been in the US. Mixed grill, tiramisu and Turkish coffee were awesome.

    Small meza platter and a mixed gyro plate are perfect for two. Ugh💕 Hands down best Turkish street food in Atlanta EVER! Good news: they're expanding their restaurant to a bigger place now.

    Falafel, gyros and salads all amazing. Stop by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams next door for amazing furniture! Ask for John!

    The baklava is out-of-this- world phenomenal. It is small (half a snickers bar in size), so it is the perfect desert to finish a yummy meal.

    Chicken salad and lamb gyro are consistently good! Hummus sampler is a nice starter.

    Omg the falafel was amazing. Hummus plate was darn good too. Gotta love a hole in the wall place that serves great food.

    Best falafels! Get a platter! Also baklava drips with honey goodness. Sutlae is hands down the best rice pudding-thick, creamy and a hint of cinnamon.

    Nice little hole in the wall place. Great food, good ambiance, and the owner Al is awesome. Don't be surprised if he feeds you your first bite of your meal.

    The gyros are large and fresh but the real payoff are the kebab platters.

    The gyros are delicious, and so is the mixed grill! Al is a character, and the desserts are yummy. The salad is very fresh.

    Find another restaurant!! Food is ok, service is appalling. The servers will lie to you, wave you off, insult your intelligence, ignore your needs and take the liberty of stealing your money.

    Ordered original gyro. No tomatoes, one sliver of onion. Not a gyro at all but it had lots of lettuce.

    Get the Mazza Platter. Al (the owner) is a personality and the atmosphere is crowded, but the food is excellent.
