  Have been to DuPont a million times and never noticed this small hole in the wall cafe. Stopped by on a rainy day for a quick bite to eat. Service was quick and the food did not disappoint! I got the lamb gyro which was moist and flavorful. Pita was nice and warm and soft. For the price, it was definitely worth it!
  
  Unfortunately, they did not have a restroom available. This is more of a get in get out type of place. We stayed to eat but the cafe isn't that big and felt pretty cramped inside.

  Inside: The decor on the walls of with articles of celebrities that have passed by the cafe are definitely one of the main highlights
  
  Good tasting lamb and chicken combo but for $14.99 I could've gotten a better portion somewhere else. The guy preparing the food put the rice in the microwave which so a turn off other than that the chicken and lamb was prepared on a traditional grill so fine.

  This was some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since I was in the Mediterranean last. The shish kabob platter was made with whole chunks of lamb, not the processed and sliced meat that most places serve. In writing this review, I just remembered that I ordered an order of samosas to go and left them in the hotel fridge without tasting them. It was good enough that I'll be back in 2 weeks to get an order that I actually remember to eat.

  Affordable and delicious. Greek/Mediterranean with some American classics.
  
  We stopped in for a quick bite around lunchtime on a Tuesday. We had the place to ourselves so we snagged the garden table (lots of plants). We split a gyro and it was enough! So filling. The lamb was on point and the pita was phenomenal. We requested for it to be spicy, and it was perfect. Service was quick and friendly. We are glad to have stumbled across this gem!

  Shawarmas at 3AM not up-to par with what's served in Godly hours.
  
  We ordered 3 different kinds of shawarma, I had the chicken. The chicken was good but it was offset by the stale array of toppings. All the fu-fu that goes into a wrap is essential or I'd have ordered shredded chicken by itself.
  
  We were the only patrons at the time. I was expecting more of a bustle since it's near the college scene but I think summer break has hit their business a bit. Maybe that's why the food was lacking.
  
  Loved the view from the patio seating. It's an intimate place. Even the ceilings are low to maximize the hole in the wall effect.
