“ Food was very good and plentiful. Service was great and friendly. Had the Gyro and Chicken. ”
“ Food tasted great, portions were big, and the staff were nice and helpful. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Gyro was really really good. Came in today and tried the "lunch special" which is a wrap fries and drink of choice for $14. Definitely worth visiting if you're near the area. Better than Plaka grill in my opinion Meat to pita ratio was also very generous! ”
“ Was craving some Greek food, and since this was close by, I had to give this place a try. The Food: I had the gyro platter, and it was delicious! The meat was cooked nice and tender, the fries were crispy. Everything paired very well together and was seasoned well. The portions were generous too. The Service: I ordered takeout for this time, and was greeted immediately when I walked in. Food was made on time, and I came slightly early too. The Atmosphere: Not that much seating inside, but that's alright. It looks like this place caters mostly to the take-out crowd. But it was nice and well kept inside. Overall, a 4/5. Food was great and the staff were extremely friendly and kind. I'll be coming back for sure. ”
“ The food at Knossos was fresh, hot, and served quickly. Perfect for a satisfying and efficient dining experience! ”
“ Absolutely fantastic! The gyro at this place is exactly what I'm looking for when I get that craving. Huge portions and very generous pricing. I did not intend on getting french fries when I was planning this dinner, but as soon as I saw them I knew I had to. Not mad about it. Fresh salad with a tasty vinaigrette as well. Clean establishment and friendly staff. 100% returning customer! ”
“ Went to Knossos today, first time and I shall return!!! So good and FRESH! I ordered the Gyro platter, came with two sides, my wife got the Vegetarian platter, also comes with two sides. My platter the Gyro meat was tasty and fresh, trimmed right off the spit when you order, not like some places that cut it then put in a steamer until you order and then grill it and dry it out. The salad was mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and onions, the vinaigrette was great. My other side was French fries that were crispy and flavorful. My wife's platter was just as good, it had falafel which wasn't dry, red pepper hummus, dolmas, tomatoes and cucumbers. Her two sides were rice and fries, all good. Everything was reasonably priced filling, I had to take half of mine home! If you haven't eaten here, you have to give it a try!!! ”
“ Been meaning to go since they open ... what stopped us was their limited seating area! They have 3 tables... 2 four tops and one for 6. So obviously they are gathering to a take out crowd... we are more eatin! But today hubby wanted gyro so perfect time to finally stop in. Portions are amble so we decided to share... got a zorba salad, fried zucchini, and baklava. Meet tasty and sliced nice and thin. Salad comes with pita bread so I could create a wrap whole hubby enjoyed things more as a salad! He really liked the house dressing. Only thing missing from the salad was tazitiki sauce... almost ordered separately but realized the fried zucchini came with... more than enough.... Baklava is huge! Lots of honey.... A yummy spot for gyro and more... ”
