“ Used to visit this place when I was a student at UNT 1997-2000. It used to be called International Foods then. Went back last week after 20 years with my family and the food was as good as it was 20 years ago. Even the owner who i used see in college days was still there albiet with a beautiful and graceful white beard now . Excellent food and friendly service. Clean and family friendly. Chicken souvlaki is my favorite and the falafels were one of the best i've had. ”
