The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were very generous. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the Greek salad was fresh, and the fries and pita were amazing.

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe have been coming here every week since they opened and have tried almost everything on the menu at this point. Efi’s has always been a favorite of ours, but after just getting back from Greece we have a whole new appreciation for it. The gyros in Greece do not even compare to Efi’s. They all have soggy fries and minimal seasoning other than a heavy salting. We waited over an hour for a gyro in Paros expecting to be blown away and instead were missing Efi’s! The only thing Greece won on was the Greek salad, but that was partly due to the fact that the tomatoes and olive oil over there are unmatched. Our go-to order is the shaved pork platter which feeds two for like $22. The pork is unbelievably flavorful and Efi’s sauce compliments it perfectly. The fries here are always crispy and coated in special seasoning. Don’t sleep on their breakfast either! Coffee is very good and we were surprised to find they make the authentic freddo espressos which are all we drank in Greece. The new breakfast sandwiches are also really good. Best part of Efi’s though is the staff which are all really friendly and nice. We love coming here!

We're thrilled to hear that you've become such loyal fans of Efi's Gyro since they opened. It's wonderful to know that your recent trip to Greece has only further solidified your appreciation for the incredible gyros and other menu items here. The fact that you were missing Efi's while in Greece is a true testament to the authenticity and quality of the food. We're so glad our shaved pork platter, crispy fries, and breakfast offerings have become go-to favorites as well. Most of all, we appreciate you highlighting the friendly, welcoming service from our team. That's a point of pride for us. Thank you for the fantastic review, and we can't wait to welcome you back again soon!
Nabila M7 reviewsTotal number of Google reviews Nabila has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Review from Google · view on GoogleI’m giving two stars instead of one because the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The portions were overwhelmingly heavy on rice, the beets tasted canned despite being described as fresh, and the meat was served cold. I would also strongly encourage the owner to reconsider the cleaning spray used on the tables. The chemical smell was extremely strong and unpleasant, especially while we were eating. I’m honestly not sure what all the hype is about. Perhaps it’s because the area doesn’t have many dining options, but based on our experience, the food quality and overall atmosphere need improvement
Response from the owner · a month ago
Hi Nabila, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your meal didn’t meet your expectations. We did want to clarify that brown rice was the only base selected for your bowl, which naturally affects how full the bowl appears. Regarding the tables, we use a food-safe commercial sanitizer and sanitize after every guest. Providing a clean environment is a standard we take very seriously. We appreciate your kind words about our team and would genuinely love to welcome you back to give us another try!
