A Forest Glen fast-casual mainstay where Greek staples (especially the gyro lineup) coexist with Vienna-beef comfort and a huge, neighborhood-driven menu. It’s best when you order like a regular: a classic gyro or gyro plate, then add something sweet or a shake to turn it into a full “quick dinner” instead of a drive-thru replacement.
Must-Try Dishes:
Gyro, Gyro Plate Dinner, Baklava
