I have only been here once for lunch, and I found my falafel sandwich tasteless and messy. It dripped like crazy and eventually fell apart in my hands. The decor was cute though. I might go back just to make sure about the food.

If I don't come here at least once a week then I start getting the shakes. The Greek chicken is the best! I would kill to find out how and with what they marinate it in. Mandy is the best waitress in town. #truth

Finally! After trying a few other places, I was worried that Columbia just didn't offer good Mediterranean food, but this place is the one. The food was fresh and full of flavor. The service was spectacular, and the place was clean with a nice ambiance. Will definitely become a regular here.

I haven't been here in about 8 months, but it's the first place I think of for food when I think of Columbia. Best hummus I've ever had. Period. Great appetizers. Love the vegetarian sampler, with olives, falafel, tabbouleh, Baba ghanush, feta. Turkish coffee with authentic desserts. Wonderful lamb burgers with hummus. Can't wait to return.

Really good, authentic Greek food. The sweet tea is really good! The Greek salads are huge and amazing, and their dressing is to die for.

Never had a hamburger-like Gyro before, falefel not good either. I'm not going back, I wouldn't suggest it.

I came in this afternoon to pick up lunch, and I have to say that the service was expedient and accurate. The falafel in the falafel sandwich was lightly fried and seasoned well, and I also appreciated the portion on the greek salad. Will definitely be coming back, hopefully to dine in so I can compliment the staff for great food and service!

Have been before, was there this week for a corporate party. Food is always excellent, I had 6 oz marinated chicken breast over rice with Greek salad. It comes on one plate, everything, and is all excellent, and large portions. only $9 or so. Now, the down side, parking is on the street, which is OK. But the lighting inside made it impossible for us to see the small print on the menu, and we forgot to bring a flashlight. The sound level due to horrible acoustics was so great we had a hard time hearing each other talk. Needs some ceiling tiles that absorb sound. On the plus side, the service was fast and accurate, and food came quickly considering the size of the crowd and other diners. They have their organizational act pretty well together. Even paying with separate checks was done better than most do it. As a value proposition it is great. As a dining total experience falls 2 stars short of Excellent. It could be easily fixed, but, in many years, they haven't seen fit to fix it. Too bad since it has great potential in an area where many dine out.

You need to go to MTR on Thursday for the spaghetti special. It's the best I've ever eaten....fresh and light and delicious!
(5)Ovunc Y.
Consistently great! We order a lot appetizers, then usually share an entree. Try 'baba' and 'eggplant appetizer'.
(5)McKenna C.
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Columbia. I no longer live there and miss it like crazy (the restaurant). The Greek chicken over rice with a greek salad is ridiculously good. They have the absolute best feta and always super ripe tomatoes. I always ask for extra feta. I'm so jealous that you're reading this review which means that you're probably trying to decide if you should go there. Just do it.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat in the Columbia area. Everything I have had has been awesome and has an authenic taste. The service has been fast and friendly with no issues. In fact, I have had the same survery 5-6 times and she takes so much pride in her approach, I thought she was the owner (she is not). I would highly recommend this place.
(5)Angie W.
I love the humongous salad, rice and chicken breast plate. It's absolutely delicious and inexpensive. The hummus plate is also yummy. I love the local dive restaurant feel, it's cozy and welcoming. I highly recommend.
(5)Somer P.
I absolutely love everything about this place, the lighting, the atmosphere, the waitresses, the kitchen, the menu-EVERYTHING is perfect! Small joint, show up early for good seating or just call in and pick up! Either way it's the most delightful food in town!

It's hard to give this place a fair review after eating at amazing restaurants like Elie's and Al Amir. The food was good, but I have definitely had better. I was also a bit disappointed to see that they don't have dolmas ("grape leaves") on the menu, which is a very customary dish at any Mediterranean place. I liked the falafels in my vegetarian plate and the hummus was good too, but the tabouli was mediocre. I asked for a small cup of hot sauce to give the food a kick, and I was given a small cup of a green dish, which looked like it had minced chilies in it. Even with adding some of this to the food, it was just sub-par. However the place has a nice intimate and warm environment. It's not too noisy and is a good venue to get dinner and catch up, you don't have to shout over your meal, which is always a positive! Service was good too, our waitress was friendly and attentive. All in all, it's a nice environment for conversation but if you're hungry for a real Mediterranean meal and want delicious food, I'd suggest going to Elie's or Al Amir, their food is just much better.

It's alright--not my first choice to go. It was kinda of expensive for what you get and I'd rather go to Devine Foods or Al Amir. The pita was good!
(3)Alan M.
Terrible attitude. Still open but so reluctant to seat us we left. Prefer other places in the area!

Great falafel - well flavored, lightly fried, and - if you get the falafel sandwich - stuffed along with tomatoes, cucumbers, and tahini in a pita. It's not the most authentic Middle Eastern food ever - but that doesn't mean it isn't fresh, delicious, and simple good food. The sandwiches are a great deal and with the included salad, it's difficult to finish! The addition has a calmer atmosphere than sitting near the kitchen and take note that there's parking in the front and a lot in the back.

I lived in this awesome neighborhood downtown about 5 years ago and would get their take out about two to three times a week. My favorites were the chicken sandwich w/hummus or the greek chicken on rice and a greek salad. Got a veggie plate and greek salad to go yesterday and it's still as good as ever. Very nice wait staff - great atmosphere for dining it too. Food always tastes fresh.

I have been addicted to their Tea Room Gyros since college. The food is tasty and portion sizes are generous. I've always experienced friendly and attentive wait staff here. Highly recommend.
(5)Karen P.
The best place in Columbia for authentic, fresh Greek food. The salads are delicious - and enormous! The wait staff are unbelievable - friendly, smart and efficient. This is one of our very favorite restaurants.

I have been eating at MTR for sooo long. I love the Salmon, my husband loves the Thursday night Spaghetti. My daughters love the Vegetarian Plate. We always enjoy the servers. We've been eating at MTR for so long that the Servers have watched my children grow up. They even watch out for my girls when they eat there on dates. It's like family.
(5)Julie R.
Just tried this place and I love it! I got the kofta plate which came which tabbouleh salad, hummus and pita bread, and yellow rice. Everything was delicious. I am definitely going back!

Always fresh food, friendly staff, and a great experience! I have yet to eat anything here that I was disappointed in!
(5)Janine M.
An amazing restaurant in Columbia! The 6oz or 8oz Grilled Chicken is the best! You get a salad and rice with it and it's a great size portion. Cool atmosphere and great place to take people who are visiting! Can't say enough good things about this place!
(5)Adam B. J.
Tea Room has been one of my favorites since I moved back from Charleston in 2001. The best hummus ever, hands down. I love the gyro here, it is different from everywhere else. They use hummus instead of Tzatziki, and the hand made gyro meat (I think it is more like kofta) is great. Service is always dynamite. Only complaint, they could cut their tomatoes and cucumbers a little smaller. But opinions are like.... Love this place.
(4)Nick C.
The food is always great and the portions are massive. Try and get David for a server if you can!
