Same owners as Achilles! While that is a build your own option, this is a more traditional Turkish "fast food." The wraps were a good size and I love the pomegranate Turkish delight. 10/10 we will now have to choose between the two sister stores!
Overall, 3 star experience. Saw the high reviews on yelp and decided to give it a try.
Staff was extremely friendly, offering us some desserts to try while we waited.
Two of us ordered:
-1 lamb wrap $14.99
-1 lamb plate $15.99
Staff included an extra falaffel for us to try out which were good.
Lamb meat in general, didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. Wrap was essentially meat and fajitas. Could have been crispier. Fries were good
Lamb plate was fine. Again, meat could be improved. Rice had a lot of leftover oil after we finished eating.
Would have liked the garlic sauce instead of the tahini. Hot sauce had a great kick.
Paid in cash since they charge a pretty steep 4% for card purchases.
Easy parking in the plaza.
ok this was really good! I got the chicken Damascus wrap and a Turkish delight.
The chicken wrap was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. it came with fries, a garlicky dip and a hot sauce. The cheese and garlic dip was super flavorful and bold. Overall perfectly seasoned and I loved the pickle in it.
The fries were obviously fresh cut and thicker. I loved that they were fresh cut but maybe could be a little crispier so they don’t fall apart. Dipping them in the garlic/hot sauce combo was good.
ok but the Turkish delight was honestly the highlight. It was SOO good. I usually am not a huge fan of these types of desserts but maybe I was just having bad ones?? I got the orange & milk flavor but I will be back to try more!! It was like a coconutty/orange marshmallow.
oh!! Also the employee behind the counter was super friendly and welcoming!
I learned something new from grace (one of the owners) that Iraklis is Heracles! They have opened in October! The food was great! I tried the lamb and chicken wrap. The garlic sauce was pretty authentic like the one back home! They have a nice desert station that I am trying out next time.I loved the colors of the restaurant, it is a nice cozy one!
I was craving Mediterranean food, so I did a quick search, found this place, and decided to try it. It is a hidden gem with unmatched service. The owner seems to be part of the staff, ensuring everything is clean and organized.
For lunch, I had vegan kofta (bulgur-based spread blended with tomato, onion, and spices) and hummus (it came with a Lavash), and to my surprise, they gave me two falafels to try with tahini sauce. It is a great touch and a delightful surprise (especially in this economy).
Their menu is varied, and everything looks delicious. Give it a chance! Just keep in mind that it is a small place and only has a few tables.
