Vela Cafe - Lemon Hill

May 17, 2024 PROS: The customer service was great, which is the first thing I judge at any place. The cashier helped us by asking what we liked eating and he made delicious recommendations. The establishment was also very clean and bright, good atmosphere. The food was so fresh and delicious! Personally, best Mediterranean food we've had in the 530/916 area. CONS: Not much parking close by. Bathroom is hidden in the back and you need a code to get in. They didn't warn us the olives in the salad had pits, but luckily I tasted mine first then warned the kids about the olives. Bottled drinks only, no fountain drinks.

The late weekday lunch was underwhelming. The chicken gyro was bland and dressing was lumpy and warm. The dining room and extra seating area was dirty. The restrooms could use a cleaning. We won't return.
