I ordered the lamb shawarma rice plate and my husband ordered the lamb shank and can honestly say that it’s one of the best we’ve ever had.
The rice and meat had so much flavor, big portions as you can see in the photos, and price is reasonable.
The owner was also very friendly.
We will definitely come back.

Definitely a gem in the heart of downtown Salem! Great food, staff are amazing, kind, thoughtful, generous, communicative, and engaged with customers.
I have NOT had a better gyro in the Willamette Valley…I dare you to pass this place up! Great price for the quality and quantity of food one gets, prompt service, and the artwork and photos inside had me lost in thought.I would eat this everyday for at least 2 out of 3 meals if I could!

Decent spot for a quick and budget friendly meal… it’s definitely not fancy, pretty bare bones… the service is good, the lady at the counter is very sweet, wait time is maybe 5 minutes for your food so definitely quick I ordered the falafel and lamb gyro… the falafel was a 3.2/5 for me… the flavor is decent, texture is light and is moist but very greasy, seem like it was double fried, also I feel like hummus would be better served with it rather than just tahini… the gyro is a solid 4.2/5… no ingredients spared for those one, it’s packed, plenty of meat unlike others I’ve had… the lamb is tender, moist, but could use some more flavor, lacks punch… the sauce is good… overall great but could have some more flavor Overall would recommend for a quick and cheap bit that’s of decent quality… but not the best Mediterranean I’ve had
