I have been to this place twice, one time during the pandemic we bought chicken souvlaki and took outside eating in the tent. set up outside the mall and yesterday we bought pork souvlaki. They are all good and fresh taste. Only thing is the portion is getting smaller for sure.

I think it was the owner who was courteous enough to tell me what had dairy or not when I mentioned that I was avoiding dairy. Food tasted fine. Atmosphere is as expected since it's a mall food court.

I historically love Jimmy (it was my university go-to) but over the years, I’ve felt that most locations have lost some of their magic. HOWEVER, this particular location was like a blast from the past in the best way possible. The food court is nostalgic and the food is delicious. Everything was clean, fresh, and the service was excellent.

One of the best and delicious Mediterranean food that I've ever tasted!!! Super Clean! Super Healthy! We ordered “Roast Lamb($14.49)” and “Grilled Lamb Chops($14.49)”, which were both incredibly delicious.

I ordered catering from here and the food was great! It was warm and fresh and the chicken was juicy and delicious. This will definitely be my go-to for catering from now on.

Absolutely wonderful staff. They keep the food fresh and tasty! My favourite place to eat at the mall by a huge margin. Hammy is a God send who knows my order when I walk up. If I could give them more stars I would.
