  One of the IDL eateries that most of Tulsa misses because they are only open M-F, 11-2,  meaning they cater pretty exclusively to the downtown lunch crowd.
  
  Simple Greek fare, gyros, chicken and eggplant, or combinations along with some daily specials, cabbage rolls, etc.  Dinners available in small or large, and with a beverage from the self serve fountain, a large plate is just under $10.  Dinner served with rice (white or vegetable), plus and your choice of two of tabouli, cucumber salad or steamed vegetables.
  
  I had the large gyro plate, tabouli, vegetable rice and steamed vegetables.  Ample serving of gyro meat, which made this a good value for the $....but...
  
  This is set up to get you food fast, so we're not talking cook to order.  Gyro meat was
  precut off the spool and served out of a warmer, as we're all hot entree's.  Steamed vegetables overdone, and in a pool of water on my styrofoam plate which is a big negative for me.  Vegetable rice was ok, but IMO needed more vegetables and more flavor to set it apart.  TZATZIKI sauce containers diminutive, ask for a couple.  
  
  Lots of folks got chicken, which I don't eat, so it may have been great, I don't know.  It was grilled on a stick and served out of warmers too.
  
  Staff was friendly, and although I came after the noon rush, everything seemed pretty clean. I was able to walk here, order, eat, and walk back to the office in 30 minutes without being rushed.
  
  Overall, 3-1/2, but I can't give that, so I have to round up.  4 stars for $value, 3 stars flavors, but with the understanding the food is served that way to serve quick, which is important for the lunch crowd.  Definitely on my list of places I will eat at again!

  Cleanliness and Hygiene are Dire!
  
  First the good. I have enjoyed the food on almost every occasions I've visited and I've visited at least 10 times.
  
  However, on a couple of occasions I've had to correct the owner (the older guy with the moustache) regarding this constant habit he has of taking his forefinger and thumb and pinching the columella of his nose and then grabbing pita bread slices with that same filthy hand and tossing it on your food on the plate or carryout container!
  
  Disgusting and a health hazard!
  
  He still does it constantly. It's like he has a mild case of Tourette's Syndrome and this constant nose picking is a "tic".  A Tic is a medical term for a person that has a constant physical or verbal habit that they can't stop.
  
  I last few times I visited I requested "no pita bread" for this reason.
  
  I haven't been in a while for this reason because it dawned on me that they hand mix (with no gloves) the vegetable rice which was delicious.
  
  He has stated how long he's been in business and really should know better and since I've talked to him at least twice about the problem and he continues to pick his nose and immediately handle food without washing or gloves. I know he doesn't give a hoot.

  Greeted with a smile. Got there before the crowds hit. Helpful staff; described menu items. All dinner same price $7.39 with two sides. Got the Greek Lasagna with cucumber salad and tabouli. Lasagna was meaty, with a top layer of soft noodle/potato with seasonings. Liked the cucumber salad, and tabouli was delicious. Older décor, but clean so was comfortable. Definitely worth a Lunch visit if you're in downtown Tulsa.

  Go on Wednesdays! You won't regret it! They make Greek Lasagna and only on Wednesdays! Other days, go for their gyro platters! Cafeteria ordering style line - avoid the steamed veggies as they appear canned and floating in a tub of water. Get extra hummus or tabouli (which is fabulous) instead.
  
  Gyro platter is always tasty! They are only open for lunch so plan accordingly.

  Good food, but the owner is a jerk.
  
  God forbid you ask him what something is.
  
  His response is usually "Do I look like I have time for this?"
  
  Other places nearby that are friendlier, tastier, and easier on the wallet.
  
  I'd rate it one star, except the food is better than the owner's attitude.
  
  Barely.
  
  If you want a "Soup Nazi" experience, go here.
  
  If not, any other place in the world would be a better choice.
