    Excellent food... warm, friendly service!!!  The owners Sophia and Dimitri treat everyone as family as you come in!  Prices are reasonable considering the huge delicious portions they serve !

    "How Greek It Is?"
    Should be more like "How Staten Island-y It Is."
    The food was actually really decent, so no complaints there. I got a monster gyro in an overstuffed pita with a side of fries, and a small cup of some lemony soup (it was either that soup or the chicken orzo soup, which I think this one actually was ... just with a splash of lemon concentrate added, or something. It was fine -- just saying).
    My colleague -- while ordering his gyro -- tried to be authentic by pronouncing it "yee-ro," and was promptly corrected. He wasn't being sarcastic, just respectful of the culture, I guess.
    Him: "I'll have the 'yee-ro' lunch special, please."
    Waitress: "OK, so you'll have the GY-RO, and a soup. Got it. And for you, sir?"
    Sorry ... for trying? The waitress was perfectly nice and helpful otherwise.
    The clientele was all locals -- cops from the nearby station house and a couple of tattooed women who seemed to be waiting for their firefighter husbands to come get home from work. And a full bar directly in the doorway was both enticing and ominous. I wondered if it gets busy (and annoying) later for happy hour. I wasn't gonna stick around to find out, though. It was lunch time and I had to get out of this strip-mall borough before the Verrazzano Bridge toll went up again.

    ...there was glass in my food. I ordered a chicken tender salad and there were glass pieces covering the chicken tenders (see attached photos).

    I was in the mood for good Greek fare, and I got it at How Greek It Is. The food was delicious and very friendly service as well. I wanted to choose several entree items but I decided to return again and again to try more. I'm definitely a fan!!!
