Local Favorite - Edit
Vegan gyro always hits. Falafel are great too. Quick order at the counter service. Clean establishment. I think if they offered French fries I’d eat here everyday.

Delicious and cheap - Edit
I had the vegan gyro with 2 sides and extra pita bread for only about $12. Filling and delicious! The baba ganoush was perfect and the fava beans was a unique option you should try. The staff were very friendly and professional.

Mediterranean food is so light yet packs a punch on filling you up. not a single Mediterranean restaurants never let me down, especially this one keeping to its traditional roots.

When I lived in Jax, they knew me by name. I eat there whenever I pass through. Their falafel wrap is delicious! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Falafel and Zen Butcher Gyros oh my - Edit
I cannot get enough of their vegan gyro, made with Zen Butcher meats. Add a side of baba gannouj, hummus, or tabbouleh. Falafel wrap also awesome!

Only True Falafel in Riverside Area - Edit
HappyCow wouldn't let me give it 5 stars since its not completely vegan, but it's deserved. 5 Stars for sure.
Read moreThere are separate fryers for meat items/vegan items. The only things deep fried in the vegan vat are falafel and french fries. Any other Mediterranean place is Riverside area all share the same fryer.
The food is EXCELLENT. I've tried everything on the vegan menu but my favorite is Falafel sandwich (add hot sauce and onion!) with a side of tabbouleh and hummus. Pita bread is excellent and its the only place I can eat and be full at the end of my meal! Anywhere else I always have to order two meals. Food is always fresh.
Its basically a steal. $10.28 for an amazing, authentic, filling meal cannot be beat.
The owner is in daily working hard on the register and I definitely respect that.
Sit outside and enjoy the floral scenery.
Pros: Excellent food made fresh daily, Get a lot of food for not so much money, SEPARATE FRYERS!
Cons: 5 points traffic can get rowdy

I was there in July 2013 and took my husband there in July 2014. Both times I was able to get a large plate of vegan food. They have lots of vegan options.

Wonderful! - Edit
My mom & I decided to eat here for lunch while we were shopping in the 5 Points area. We asked what was vegan & a very helpful woman pointed out so many things, even the lentil soup was vegan! We got their potatoes, salad & fruit. Along with Pita Chips & Lemonades! We loved everything! Only had a few chips left over, which was our goal, so we could feed the birds while we sat outside (they have outside seating!). Will definitely be going back!

Not worth it - Edit
The food is bad. Just bad. The service was extremely rude and disappointing. Not a lot of great healthy options in Riverside for Vegetarian, Raw, Vegan, or anybody else of that sort except for European Street Café. It's cheap, fast, and has many options. 2753 Park St.

Cons: Food was a disgrace to Greek culture, Service and Owner was disappointing
