  PURCHASED: Lamb Gyro Sandwich
  TOTAL: $7.95
  
  PROS:
  + loaded lamb: They load up the lamb. It was full. The sauce that was put in was real good too (red and spicy). There was also a sort of Tzatziki that was so so so good.
  + clean location: The spot was clean and well lit. Windows covering the 2 sides (corner-front restaurant).
  
  CONS:
  n/a: can't say there was anything bad. However, I need more experience with Shish Kebab before rendering a fair judgement of this location.
  
  IMPRESSION:
  In my opinion, it was real good. The price is fair. They load up that lamb too. It's real good. I love lamb over beef, pork and chicken. I am certainly a fan.

  I've been passing by this café for over 13 years, ever since moving in the area. This place is always filled with people-morning through night. It even underwent renovations. Customers have been flocking here faithfully, as if the place was covered with honey. I have finally got an opportunity to visit and experience the hype one Thursday evening at 8pm.
  
  Very casual place--take out and quick dinning. Quick, simple, no frills service. Super casual atmosphere.
  
  We got the cheese filled phyllo dough cigars ($7.50)--my all-time favorite. Pretty well prepared here. Not the best I've ever had [could've used more cheese filling], but the interior was light and crunchy, and the overall taste was salty and satisfying.
  
  My bf got the lamb and chicken gyro on pita ($7) and I got the lamb gyro on homemade bread with +$1 for adding baba ghanoush inside my sandwich ($9.50). Both, the fresh pita and homemade bread was tasty and according to Turkish bread making standards. I don't eat bread, but these versions were worth the calories. The gyros themselves were not the best quality. The meat was not juicy nor tender nor fresh. Very dry sandwiches, just tomato and iceberg lettuce in addition to meat--definitely needed sauce. Not big portion. No sides included.
  
  We got the $5 kadayif to go. It was pretty dry, so wish we got the kunefe. Pretty wide variety of desserts to choose from, so this place makes for a good coffee/tee/dessert hangout spot. Paid $31.57 for the meal. Not the cheapest/best quality, so suggest coming to this place for dessert with Turkish tea/coffee.

  First time over here dining in..... typical Turkish set up; you get to see the lamb & Chicken gyro meat spinning around; the kababs grilling right in front of you... also they have their raw variety of their kababs very nicely displayed for our viewing .....
  
  Also on the way to be seated you can't help to notice their desert display case which looked amazing.... I've been to many Turkish restaurants and they usually all have the same basic deserts but not here ...... amazing cake slices, these yummy looking roll up stuffed like cakes & some good looking puddings ..... ( sorry thought a took a picture, next time for sure.)
  
  Very nice comfortable dining room with big windows a lot of natural light; beautiful wall art ...
  
  The food which me & the wife both agreed was very fresh cooked perfectly & seasoned well.....
  
  Their table bread like puffed pita's are very good which we used them to eat their eggplant appetizer.
  
  Also ordered their falafel which were super moist inside & was fried perfectly....
  
  We both had a number 25, which was a combo with chicken kabab & chicken gyro meat served with shepherd salad topped with feta; we like our chicken gyro meat crispy & we asked our server to please make sure it's crispy need to say when the plates arrived the gyro chicken was not crispy ....
  
  Our server immediately took our orders back & tried that again.... came back a Lil crispy... our waitress apologized & said when the out going orders get busy & the dining room gets slammed this happens ... aha so we let that slide ...
  
  The over all service is a Lil slow but all can be overlooked because the food was delicious ...
  
  We will definitely return again, gotta try an order of their Chicken Chops looked awesome as well as try their deserts ...
  
  Thanks,
  Greg D & family

  I've been ordering Turkish takeout food from Memo for many years. I've never considered them to be fine dining, but their food was usually hot and tasty and satisfying in a way that you would expect from a fast Turkish restaurant. A nice gyro sandwich, some kebabs, etc.
  
  However, I have to let the business owners know that for the past 2 years or so the quality of food has declined to such a poor extent that I can no longer order from this restaurant anymore. The prices aren't that cheap, so you would expect a better product, but Memo has been unable to deliver.
  
  My biggest complaint is the salad. It's not that the salad isn't fresh or not that good. It's that the produce is so bad that it actually tastes like poison. The cucumbers are bitter and metallic tasting and the tomatoes are mushy and white.
  
  Last night the rice was cooked in a damp way too. Their meat is still good so they get two stars. But overall it's been unacceptable and I hope someone reads this and does something about it.

  I came here at 12:15 on a Monday for lunch and sat down and was served. The place wasnt too crowded and the service was quick. My waitress was very sweet and helpful. I ordered the lamb and chicken gyro on house bread and it was pretty good. There was a lot of fat in the lamb and lacking a bit of flavor but other than that it was pretty good. The pricing is also fair and the portions are big. In total i spent $10.48 on the gyro and a water bottle. I would go back to try the salad.
