I've been to more authentic Greek food places, but Daphne's is more of a quick fix than a dining experience. They have some good combos that are not too pricey (under $10). I usually get the steak and chicken combo, which comes with rice, pita, hummus, salad, and a drink w/ free refills.
Lunch time here is pretty busy, so expect a wait. Better if you go before or after regular lunch hours, or call in your order in advance so you can just swing by and pick it up. You can dine in or outside the restaurant, and there's plenty of parking.
I'm sure Daphne's is to Greek food as Baja Fresh is to Mexican food. However, I still LOVE it! Yes, I always get the same thing - the chicken pita lunch, which comes with rice, salad and a drink. Although I have tried other things like the falafel and gyro. But the chicken pita is always my favorite.
I've been to this location twice now. Its not too bad. Not to crowded and the food comes fairly quickly.

It's very new so it's probably better than the one in Monrovia for that reason, but their quality of their food is a little better.
About the same as all the Daphne's Greek Cafes.
The chicken is usually a little dry. Their meats are generally better.
Salads are good, rice tends to be good, and the pita tends to be a little dry but good.
It's a good change of pace for foods though, unfortunately hit or miss so some days it would be a 3 some would be 5.
Combos are usually the way to go. Not too pricey (Less than 10) a person.

I like Daphne's. The food is really good & satisfying. The shrimp gyro combination is very good, you get a lot of food with it (small salad, rice, bread, yogurt dip, & the main dish).
THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. Every time I would come here on my lunch break, I'd be waiting 20 minutes for food, & at times when they weren't even busy. One time, I drove down there & they were closed at 3pm on a Wednesday for no reason, the doors were locked, & the lazy assholes that work there were just standing around. I knocked on the door & one of them waved their hand & said 'Not today.' WHAT. Fuck you!

I have been to other Daphne's and they're not as good as this one. However, for some reason, this one has been extremely consistent. There are several outside tables, so the dog gets to hang out as well.
