The hotel is not 5 stars but the price is more flexible for people not home and want to stay here if you want to stay for couples days they give a good discount for week.

First time trying, and I ordered Grub Hub. I'm so happy I did because the food was very good! I got the gyro plate with spicy potatoes, and it slapped so hard I was stunned.

I also got a baklava as dessert and it wrapped the tastes together perfectly.

I will be coming in person next time because it's so good. 10/10

The food is good. I usually order the lamb chop plate.. I've been going here for years and never got disappointed..

The food was alright. The pictures below are titled "What the wrap looked like versus what the menu said it would look like."
Haha.There were 2 pieces of meat in my filet mignon wrap. Pictured is the one piece I removed and placed in the tray next to my falafel.

The falafels are good but not great.. they need more flavour and inside is too dense.. Also, this is not the place for baklava. It, too, lacked flavor, but it wasn't terrible.

Had to come back again it's so delicious 😋. I keep telling people it's located in the hills of Compton. The service is wonderful 5 🌟

Don't be thrown off by the location. It's located in what looks like an industrial park area. Very popular with all the local business employees of course. Consistently good green olive food. Don't miss the spicy potatoes. The Gardena location gives considerably larger portions but both are good quality. Parking is a little tight but available right in front of the restaurant most of the time.

Food was the bomb. Chicken skewers, potatoes, hummus, vegetables, salad, pita bread, and the different sauces- all delicious. We ate everything.

I was the only customer. I ordered online pickup. It said 20-35 minutes but it was less than that. Lamb chops cold, Taboulle warm. The grilled tomato side was 2 tiny slices of a Roma and you know how small they are. I asked for extra green sauce for my pita, got the sauce but no pita! I called but they wanted me to come back. It was rush hour traffic by then and they said that I could get extra pita next time. What? A next time How can I be the only customer and it’s messed up? This is my fourth order and the other three were delivered. One order did not read the notes. They gave napkins and no forks, knives,spoons. One plate had 2 regular lamb chops but the third was only a bone. One was ridiculously greasy, the wrong order, and there was grease spilled all over the bag and overflowing into everything else. I’ve had pita straight out of the bag and not heated.

This last order without the pita, I got sick from the lamb. Doctor said the meat was left out. Flavor good but you have to be able to eat it. Torrance location is a very slight impact but not much.

So disappointed, AGAIN!
