Comfort Food Classics
A fast-casual Greek counter built for repeatable gyros, souvlaki, and quick platters. It lands best when you treat it as a single-lane order—one pita or one platter, one sauce, one side—so the flavors stay clean and the meal feels tight.

Pork gyro pita, Chicken souvlaki platter, Baklava
