I used to eat there a lot. Its been a while since I went. Today it sounded good. The hummus had zero flavor. The bread was overcooked. Really dissapponited.

I’ve tried Papu’s 2 times, once in 2020 and again today. Both times, the girl at the counter met my eyes right away and said hello. Both times, I ordered the gyro sandwich and a side of hummus. The hummus is traditional - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Cucumber, olives and feta cheese on the side to mix in.It’s served with a rolled up pita. I think it’s great - hummus is versatile and can be flavored in a million ways - some of the reviews seem to have a flavor expectation in mind rather than enjoying the way Papu’s makes theirs. Use salt if you want, it’s that easy. I prefer mine how Papu’s makes it. The gyro…omg. Tender, perfect meat with big flavor. It’s huge too. Seriously, it’s wonderful. They make your food upon ordering, also very cool. I got a chance to speak to the owner today while I was waiting - he’s very interesting and works likes mad as they now have a location in Independence. The gas station location is legit - it doesn’t have a “limited” menu like 1 reviewer observed. It’s a tiny cafe in a gas station, the menu size is perfect and the owner uses only the best ingredients. Goods and labor are more expensive and have been for a while, it’s seen at every food establishment and grocery store, not sure why one reviewer said it’s pricey. I paid $16 and I’m literally stuffed and happy. As a Waldo resident, I believe we need to support the small businesses here. Ya aren’t gonna find McDonalds prices there but you WILL find kind, interesting folks with diverse backgrounds, willing to share that diversity with you. I’ll be back to Papu’s more frequently, it’s awesome and the people are great!

Fantastic hummus app and the shawarma was tender and super flavorful. Looking forward to the return to try the gyros!! Absolute must if you live in the Waldo area!!

I tried to ask a few questions about ingredients and the man working kept brushing off my questions concerning a allergy ingredients when. I had to ask him multiple times to just check the pita for me. I tried to ask one more question and he rushed me off to help the people behind me. Which I get it but I wanted to know if I could eat here. Definitely a bad experience. We left him a $1 in the tip jar hopefully he gets how awful customer service that is won’t ever be going back.
