A steady stream of customers came to buy doughnuts. We opted for the sandwich items. We arrived before lunch started so  they weren't ready for our lunch order but they were willing to accommodate us.

Gyro. The gyro meat was lukewarm whereas it should have been hot potato hot. The gyro was acceptable and certainly not the best in town.  Piling on the meat, cutting back on the pita bread, and providing more  onions, and tomatoes would also have made it better.

Koufta Kebob Loola consists of minced meat, parsley, onions, and tomatoes. This was the least favored of the three. The meat was salty and rough. It like all the other items was heavily weighted in favor of the pita bread and short on the filling.

Falafel. This was the favorite.  It seems that just about every establishment has its own falafel recipe and the results can be horrible to OMG.  People's bakery serves one of better ones I've had, in the Top 25%. Serving it hotter would have made it better as well as adding one more falafel. Way too much pita.
