    These are the places where I'd be happy to spend my money. Very delicious food and amazing service. Hardworking employees I can't wait to come back. We had gyro lamb/beef with artichoke pesto hummus and a gyro plate with lamb/beef

    First visit to this hidden gem tonight and WOW! My wife and I each ordered a gyro, the hummus sampler, and a Greek salad to share. She drank a Diet Coke, and I unknowingly ordered the Greek iced tea. The drinks came first and I wasn't sure what to expect, but the tea was absolutely delicious. Then our salad and hummus sampler came out. The salad was fresh and good-sized. We got the Chipotle hummus, Artichoke hummus and the Babaganoush. All 3 were flavourful and expertly seasoned. Already stunned by our spread, our jaws dropped when we saw the gyros. They're HUGE! I had the beef and lamb with cilantro lime hummus and my wife had the chicken with garlic hummus. Both gyros were bursting with flavor and stuffed full of meat and fresh veggies. The Tzatziki was perfect! The entire meal was delicious and to top it off, the customer service was top-notch. We'll be coming back here, 100%!

    The customer service at the drive thru was awesome. Their sign was broken so you have to go to the window but, that's okay. As for the food, it was full of flavor! I got the Greek fries, which were very good. It was a large portion. It can feed at least 2 people. The last thing I order was the 3 meat combo bowl with garlic hummus. It was a good portion of rice on the bottom and a great tasty dish. I'd highly recommend both dishes that I got as they were amazing. Give this place a try. You won't regret it. You may have to wait 10-20 minutes but, it is worth the wait!

    Appeared to be owner operated. The gentleman at the counter took my order and helped me decide on some hummus options. I got the extreme hummus and the jalapeno cilantro hummus. Both were delicious. Dolmas were delightful with tzatziki sauce. Rice was plain, but the falafel and hummus livened it up. Pita was warm. The salad dressing was very nice. A pleasant surprise. Dining room was clean and welcoming. My only critique is the paper plates and plastic silverware.

    I went here for the first time tonight because I was craving a gyro. I could not believe everything they had on their menu. I saw the featured meal was lamb shanks and decided to give it a shot. Very tender and flavorful cooked to a nice medium rare. The owner had given me samples of all their hummus’s and I chose their house special. It was delicious as well. The only thing I would have liked is some dressing on the salad. Other then that, excellent. I will be going back.

    Chicken kabobs were cooked perfectly and seasoned amazingly! The extreme chicken bowl was "extremely" flavorful, we will definitely be going back next time we are in town. Even our 7 year old was raving about how much he liked his food when we left.

    We tried to dine in here during Covid times and they were not available, so tried my luck again and dined in for lunch. Ever since we moved to Sacramento from Bay Area- we missed the dish n dash restaurant which was a nice place for falafel. Extreme Hummus seems to focus on variety of hummus and the rest of it stays pretty standard. I tried the Veggie plate that gets served with some falafel balls, dolmas, very little salad, steamed rice, a half piece of pita. You get to choose your hummus - I chose sriracha and cilantro flavor and it was good. Falafel was alright, I ate better ones than this one. Rice was almost like the sticky Chinese rice and not the typical pilaf rice at Mediterranean places. This place is pricey for what it offers - but not a bad place to try.

    One of the few original Mediterranean food spots in Sac. great food and service, I usually order with DoorDash but had the chance to pick up today and thank the guys for the great food.

    If you're looking for a very generous, yummy gyro - this is your place! The owners are very kind and also let us try different hummus to put in our gyro. Highly recommend!

    Amazing! The food was delicious, we had a chicken kabob plate, chicken meat plate and Greek fries which the best fries I had. People working there were very nice and let us try different hummuses. Will definitely come back.

    I do like a good Mediterranean meal, however this takes the cake! Very impressed and pleased with the quality and taste of this food.

    So I've been coming since about May 2021. I've gotten nearly everything on the menu but I've gotta say the bowls are my favorite. They always come nice and warm. Baklava are usually nice and flavorful. I'm sad to say that tonight March 8th, 2023; my experience was not so great. The food I recieved was cold and the baklava did taste a bit off compared to usual. I was a bit unsure why it when takes them about 20 mins to prepare my food tonight was 5 Minutes! Mind you waiting is no issue granted it's always been fresh n ready, but today it was a 5 minute wait, which I immediately thought was odd. But I leave 4 stars still because it wasn't any of the original members I've met before so perhaps the new night shift is learning the ropes. So if you're reading this, please don't serve cold meals. I understand salad onions n the sauces come cold but I know my rice and chicken does not.

    Okay, this is a pleasant surprise! They give you copious amounts of food; good food with lots of flavor. The cilantro hummus is great. The chicken shawarma and the gyros are delicious. The service is really on point. They answered our questions and let us sample the hummus to us decide which kind to order. Little things like this make the experience more enjoyable. This is going to be a regular place for me.

    The best in the area! I tried shawarma, and it was great! The sauces are made in the restaurant, aren’t too spicy, and you taste the real meat. BTW, the staff was friendly and professional! Definitely would come again 👍

    I order the Greek fries but I add everything that comes on a beef and lamb gyro on top and ask for it spicy... promise u won't regret it... trust me... don't judge my pics I was hungry and almost forgot to take a pic.. lol..

  • 5/5 Nicole E. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious! We ordered pickup via their website and it was ready when we arrived. Friendly and efficient staff. We add the hummus trio, falafel bowl and lamb gyro. All were wonderful! Our favorite thing was the baklava! Highly recommend!

    Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had. I ordered the lamb and beef gyro plate. It came with rice a small delicious salad and pesto hummus. You can choose the hummus you want there are several types. The lamb and beef were seasoned very well. The rice had sadaf in it and the dressing was very good. I told them that I don't do well with dairy and they offered to make the sauces on the food vegan. They had some good vegan options on their menu. The only downside is that they don't list their prices. However, they are reasonably priced.

    This place serves super tasty falafel with great texture - really crisp and piping hot throughout, but not at all overdone or dry. Sauces and the hummus options are delicious by themselves and work perfectly together on a gyro, and they're neither stingy nor sloppy in the amount they add. It really is a perfect bite. Online ordering through their website was super easy and accurate for me - pay attention to the pickup time, as they really are making it hot and fresh to order. I was a little early and had to wait inside for a bit, but I have to say, the vibe in there made me even more excited to get my meal because it was clear it would be made with care and the love of good food. Can't wait to go back, and plan to do so Extremely soon!

    Been here several times since pandemic started. Always consistent when it comes to food and service. The people work there are amazing. Last visit was a couple days ago inside the store for the first time, and the lady was super nice and sweet to our family, especially to our son.
