🚨 NEW MENU ITEM🚨
Chicken chops are on the menu! Come by 11 AM - 2 AM for an order. Highly recommend asking for a pair of gloves when eating this meal(maybe even some Akssauce to dip into). It’s always a beautiful thing when adding a new menu item. More things to come soon. Available now in store, delivery services later today. Prices will vary (in-store is always the way to go)

Nothing fancy—just the kind of home-style comfort food that speaks for itself. ❤️
Tender braised lamb shank, potatoes & carrots slow-cooked in our rich, savory sauce. The kind of plate that fills you up and takes you right back to the old-school family kitchen.
Come hungry. Leave happy. 🍽️

CHOP CHOP
Straight off the grill. 🔥🥩
Tender, juicy lamb chops served over our seasoned rice with a fresh side salad — cabbage, onions, lettuce, grilled tomato & jalapeño. The kind of plate that doesn’t need much explaining. Just come hungry.

Nor’easter outside? Sounds like soup weather to us 🥣
Brooklyn, it’s chilly outside. Come warm up inside with a bowl of lentil soup and fresh-made bread.
The weather might be rough but we’re here for you 11AM - 2AM

The Chicken Gyro Small Plate — a classic.
Funny thing is, when we first opened, chicken gyro wasn’t even on the menu. The lamb gyro was the staple. Then in 2006, we introduced this baby… and the rest is history.
Tender chicken thighs, sliced up just right, with a generous serving of white rice, shepherd’s salad, and our fresh bread.
Simple, hearty, and made the way we’ve been serving it for years.
Come hungry. Leave with a full belly. That’s how we like it.
