Ambrosia Café

Worst tasting gyro ever. Got my gyro delivered & it didn’t have any flavor. They put very little lamb in it. It was more pita bread than anything else. The baklava was a tiny piece & they put a weird red sauce drizzled on it. Why would you do that to a dessert that should taste like honey & pistachio?
At least the delivery guy was prompt & nice. Going back to paymons. Oh well.

Good food overall. I’ve gone for lunch a number of times and it’s one of the best options in the area. Service is great, family owned price is right.
They started a credit card fee which I guess is OK but I think it would be better to hide the fee in the food price. I’ve never seen a place charge a $ 3 credit fee for a $ 60 order. The fee is a nice option for the $ 20 or less meals. Many places wont let you use your card when it’s that cheap.

Great service and food here.
everything is yummy. every their pizza are good. we ordered appl platter, gyro sandwiches, margarita pizza. it was amazing. I would highly recomend this place to anyone. they also have great lunch special and delivery too.
One thing! no credicard !! cash only unless u want to pay extra 50 cent.

Yay for gyros! had the Ambrosia which was really good, will definitely come back to try their hummus
TIP: Bring cash!!! as of ¾/​2013 they charge .50cent per card transaction (no minimum)

I had to go to our printer today to drop off some files and it was right at lunch time. I did a quick Unilocal search and came across this place. I was wanting something fairly healthy and greek/​mediterranean sounded fabulous. This place was right up the street so I headed over with high hopes and let me say I was got more than I was hoping for a quickly lunch.
I went in and there was only one other table, but the place was really cute and the lady behind the counter told me to find a seat. I found a nice little two seater high top in the corner. She quickly brought me a menu and I perused their offerings. I was really in the mood for hummus, but wanted something more substantial as well. I noticed they had a gyro and fries, so I ordered that and a hummus platter. Luckily, she was smart and just ordered me a gyro because I know I wouldn’t have needed those fries.
Hummus and Pita — YUM YUM YUM. I only meant to eat half the pita but good grief it was so good and the hummus was so smooth, I kept shoveling it in. I swear she probably thought I was coming off of a fast. I boxed up the other half and ordered more pita for later. I dreaming of it now.
Gyro — I’ve never been THAT fond of gyros but all doubts have been squelched! More yummy, soft, warm pita topped with fabulous meat. I usually get gyros that are dry but NOT THIS ONE. The tatziki was amazing too. It took me no time to polish this thing off.
Tatziki — I love love love tatziki and this stuff was above and beyond good. It was/​is so tasty I order a platter to go so I can enjoy it at home. The thing I love is that tatziki tends to last a good bit of time so I put it in good tupperware and will be slathering some grilled chicken with it for dinner tonight.
Service — the service was good and she was quiet friendly. I secretly loved that she had a accent because that tells me this place is probably family owned. Also probably why it was so good.
This is my new favorite place to go and luckily we are starting our busy season so I’ll be going up to Creel on a regular basis. I really can’t wait to try other things on the menu. If the kabobs or pizza are anything close to as good as what I had then I will be in heaven.

My husband and I call this place «Pizza Kabobs» because of their oddly-​spaced window signage.
When we are feeling lazy (which is often) we tend to pull out the box of menus and order some delivery… About 4 months ago we tried Pizza Kabobs aka Ambrosia Café and we were not disappointed.
Their menus has a vast variety — part pizzeria, part-​Mediterranean fare. We felt the need to try a little bit of everything. 73 dollars and 15 minutes later we had A LOT of food at our door.
Their gyros were pretty darn good. Not life changing but excellent for delivery expectations. I love a good shish kabob sandwich and I was in love with their beef. The hummus was great but they were a little stingy with their pita bread. The pita bread was probably the most memorable and our big favorite but when they give you a big order of hummus — 3 pitas ain’t gonna cover it. We knew for next time — order extra pita bread.
The pizza was actually pretty good — again the expectations were low because it seemed Mediterranean was their calling. The sauce and cheese ratio was awesome. I wish they had a bigger selection of pizzas but their Meatlovers was loved by us both.
Their phillys weren’t bad either! I ordered the philly with everything and the meat was well flavored and the fixins were fantastic.
We have ordered from them at least 1x a month since then and while their delivery time isn’t always consistent (one time we waited like an hour and ordered much less food) we always finish the meal saying «can’t wait till next time».
I would definitely recommend Pizza Kabobs (Ambrosia.whatever) to anyone in the neighborhood.
man, this review made me hungry.

Great service. There wasn’t something on the menu, so I explained what I wanted, and our waitress made it happen, she just said, «ill do that». EXCELLENT! — The atmosphere is very much American with cool «Mediterranean» chairs. Cool music. Good TV. My friend got the gyro-​burger an it smells amazing! He says it was Delicious! My food was good. The chicken was well cooked and juicy. (Major plus+) The rice was just regular white Asian style rice. Just definitely wasn’t authentic. They had an issue with splitting up the bill so that just helped solidify my 4 stars. Good stuff– I’d be back.

Not happy with the chicken ceasar salad. Bland salad and very dry and tough chicken.

Let me start by saying I’m not from Vegas… and for the three years that I have lived here I always chuckle at all the places that say pizza and xxxxxx
delivery is cool because you can order from EAT24 online using a card or PayPal
everything is yummy
every their pizza is good, we have had their margarita pizza delivered, perfectly cooked and thin
we get the app platter and the hummus, grape leaves, EVERYTHING is super yummy
Gryo sandwiches are yummy and if you are vegetarian they do the Ambrosia sandwich (avocado, lettuce, parsley, tomato, tzh sauce) with no Gryo meat on it
we have eaten there at the restaurant also the young guy waiter was prompt and very nice
on location hubby got lamb and beef skewers and the rice and portion WAS HUGE :) my pics are the ones that have the stack of to go boxes up the ceiling :)
BUT the second time we went there even though there was a table eating there we sat down and after 20 minutes never got waited on, period
hit or miss you have to try this place, pita is yummy and feta is always fresh
we just can’t help it we love their food :) I really need to try their Turkish coffee and see if it’s up to my standards ;)

My buddy and I came here craving gyros and chicken fingers. The restaurant is large and spacious but not well-​ventilated. The air inside was warm and humid. The staff was friendly though.
We placed our orders for chicken fingers and a gyro. 15 minutes later, our food was served. I figured chicken fingers would be safe since they are pretty standard everywhere I go. The batter was… different. When I stabbed the chicken with my fork, the batter just kind of disintegrated and fell onto the plate… like a shell. When I ate it, the texture and taste was a bit similar to what you would get at Long John Silver’s. It didn’t taste bad at all, it just felt wrong in my mouth.
The gyro looked awesome. like your typical gyro stuffed with meet, onions, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and tzaziki sauce. It wasn’t the best, it wasn’t the worst. It satisfies the craving.
Overall, it was ok. I would go back only because it is so close.

So usually when I find a place that seems like it’s one style of cuisine (Ambrosia Café sounding Greek– which… I think it is) I become leery of how good the food will be when I see things from falafel to BBQ ribs to gyro salad to pizza and the like.
With that being said I most recently dined in with a bunch of friends and ordered a slew of items. Started off with the hummus, Greek fries and falafel which were all on point.
Followed up with some popcorn shrimp and placed our orders for a few gyro salads, an order of their signature pork chops and the beef and blue salad. All of which were amazing.
Ended up ordering a gyro pizza to go, to see if their pies carried any weight, and let me tell you it did.
All in all, I would highly recommend this place to anyone. What’s great too is they deliver and they also have some great lunch specials. The server who took care of us was Hunter, he was cool too. Really nice and didn’t screw up any of our orders (which is always important to me).

As detailed in another review, I come to this area for work once in a while, so we’re always looking for a good lunch place.
Ambrosia has a little of everything, from soup to sandwiches, pizza, lasagna. It’s a little Mediterranean, a little Italian, etc.
The lunch specials are well priced, service is excellent, and the food has never disappointed.
If you’re in the area, give them a try, this place deserves to succeed.

Coworker and I decided to try this place out a couple weeks back, since we had to go to a store quite close. Always willing to try a new place with good reviews.
Upon walk in we liked the decore, it gives quite a homey feeling.
The wait staff was extremly nice.
They have alot of decently priced lunch specials.
I ordered the Gyro Sandwhich w Fries and it was extremly tasty. It was a good amout of food for the price.
I liked it so much i took another co worker there about a week or 2 later. She enjoyed it as well.
I definitly look forward to going back and trying something new on the menu.

We have ordered several times online and it was alright, but this time we decided to stop by. We were quite surprised I must say in the quaint and comfort of the café. Our waitress was extremely kind and helpful. She gave great suggestions, waited on our table with promptness. Sometimes I hesitate at the quality of a restaurant in a corner gas station plaza, but I am glad this went above our expectations. Never judge a book by its cover.
The hummus and pita was delicious. The greek salad was huge. The chicken kabob was a bit salty for my taste buds.

I have been wanting to eat here for a few months now and never had the chance. Finally I was able to sneak over there during my lunch hour. My first impression when walking in was wow this is a nice place. From the exterior I assumed it would be an order from the counter and take out type of place which was not the case at all. After reviewing the wide range of food on the menu I decided on the lamb sandwich to go.
My order took maybe 5 to 7 minutes to arrive and I was out the door. Food was very tasty and for $ 8 I plan to visit them on a more regular basis.

Ordered takeout on Friday. Lady was quick and easy to order with on the phone. Was told 15 – 17 and a half minutes, which made me laugh.
Pulled up to the place and noticed they had a nice little patio setup with table and chairs out front. Looked pretty cozy. Walked inside and the coziness continued. I was impressed with the inside as they even had a little fireplace going. Food was already bagged up and ready to go. Paid for my order quickly and left.
As to the food, I wasn’t overly impressed but was happy with what it was. I had the Falafel sandwich. falafel were big and meaty and the sandwich was good for the $ 5.95. Also had the Ambrosia appetizer plate for my wife. Grapeleaves were very good. Tzatziki was good, Hummus and Tabbouleh were OK.
Was a bit disappointed with a chicken parm sub though. Not sure if anyone told them but the chicken on a chicken parm should be breaded. This was like strips of chicken you get in a salad, covered in cheese and sauce. It tasted good, but was definitely missing the breading to make it a great chick parm.

I’ve since tried the chicken noodle soup, the pizza, and the calzone.
The chicken noodle soup is not what you’d expect from a traditional chicken noodle. It’s lemony and has much more depth of flavor. There were definitely notes of cilantro in there. I couldn’t put it down. It’s incredibly interesting, yet still comforting in the way that you want chicken noodle to be.
Their pizza is good. It’s not the best pizza I’ve ever had, but I like their crust, their sauce, and their cheese. The pepperoni pie was good, as was the gyro meat. I haven’t yet tried the Greek pizza because the boyfriend doesn’t like feta or olives, but I really can’t wait to do so.
If you order a calzone, and you are less than two linebackers, get the smaller size. The large is enormous. We ordered the large with onions and gyro meat. It was good, but I felt like it had a little too much mozzarella cheese and not enough ricotta. The ricotta seemed to be all piled around the edges, while the inside was all mozz. I think they could mix it up a bit more.
For my update, the calzone gets three stars, the pizza gets four, and the chicken noodle gets five. Averages out to four stars again. Next up, I’m trying their ribs and their wings.

I love that this café has a mix of food because a lot of times my husband and I can’t decide on a place we both like. They have Mediterranean food for me and sandwiches… even Pizza for him.
I had the Falafel Special that came with a Falafel Sandwich and a side of Tabbouleh. I haven’t had Falafel in years so I forgot what it tasted like. I was pleased when I took a bite out of the sandwich it was good. The Tabbouleh tasted really fresh and zesty. You could tell it was just made because it wasn’t soggy.
My husband had the Cheese Steak Sandwich with the Greek Fries. The fries were too salty for my taste but my husband seemed to like it. We wanted to try something new so I didn’t mind it.
The atmosphere is relaxing and calm which is a nice change especially after work. I also liked the music they played while I was in there. It was most likely The Beatles Greatest Hits… when I thought no one was around me I would sing along to some of the songs. I couldn’t help it! When we were getting ready to leave the waiter asked if I liked the Beatles. I was thinking «Oh no… Did I sing that loud»? I told him that I did hoping he wasn’t subjected to my singing. It was refreshing that he was so personable because it just makes the place feel more welcoming.
The Ambrosia Café has a diverse menu that makes it almost impossible not to find something you will like!

The food is good, and they have a ton of variety, but nothing in my mind stands out on their menu.
I’ve ate here a few times since it’s close to my house, their kebabs are probably the best thing I’ve had, but it seems like they try too hard to put a ton of things on the menu. Their Pizza was average at best.

Enjoyed it here!
On a spontaneous trip to Vegas this past Memorial Day weekend, I had the honor of meeting some down to earth peeps (DJ David and Chrissy) whom introduced my friend and I to some local Mediterranean food off the strip.
After a long drive, we needed a quick bite to eat before hitting the nightlife scene so this was a convenient place for us. This small and casual restaurant accomodates nearly all kinds of foodies. from the health-​conscious to the hard-​core carnivores.
Waitress was attentive and we were seated almost immediately. I liked the colorful and bright menu! Being as indecisive as I am, you really couldn’t go wrong with the menu selection. Everything sounded familiar, simple, and straight-​forward.
I ordered the «Vegetarian Gyro» sandwich (tabouleh, fresh veggies, and tzatziki sauce) and my friend ordered the «Simply The Best» sandwich (Authentic gyro meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce.) Both ~$ 6 – 7 and a decent portion size.
KEY IMPORTANCE: Freshness!!!
Upon arrival (quick service btw), I was visually impressed at the setup and freshness of the ingredients. Presentation is important to me so my mouth was salivating already. My camera phone didn’t do it justice though (see pics), but let me tell you. as simple as the ingredients were… nothing beats a good gyro, but FRESH and TOP QUALITY ingredients! This had THAT!!! The tabouleh was flavored nicely. Simple and Delish!
My friend devoured his sandwich in what seemed like 3 bites or maybe it was 2 and a half. It all happened so fast that by the time I looked at him, he was smiling with a look of sweet and utter satisfaction! According to him, «It WAS simply the best.» HAHA! Or maybe he was just THAT hungry?! =p
As for me… I’m a pretty slow eater. I made sure to chew 13 times before I swallowed. haha. Okay. maybe not 13 times, but I did let all the flavors dance around in my mouth, but only to get a text soon after to meet up with the rest of our crew in 20 minutes! EEk! So I got to eat half and took the rest «doggy-​bag» style.
Only 4 stars since the restroom could have used a bit of a makeover. I know, but I’m anal like that. Anywhoo, I will definitely head back to «Ambrosia Café» to try out their other menu items. I hear their «Falafel Sandwich» and «Eggplant Parmesan sub» are HITS!
A great and quick stop to get your Mediterranean fix on!
