I stumbled upon this place by mistake as it used to be another Greek restaurant. No fancy setup here but the food was very delicious, very tasty and there is a wide range of dishes to choose from! I did a take-out and they were very quick with my order. The cashier was very knowledgeable about their menu and she was very helpful. I had the beef souvlaki and it was nicely marinated, meat was tender and perfectly grilled! Their pita bread was nice and soft, wonder if they make it themselves. I will definitely be back...

By far the best Gyro place I have been to. Move here from Milwaukee and tried many Greek places trying to find a good gyro plate but nothing hit the spot till now. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, looks very new. Staff was very friendly and the food was perfect. 5/5 stars. Defiantly a place I will be returning to even though I live 30min away.

There are times when a good gyro is just needed! Luckily for me after recently relocating from the Midwest I moved within a few miles of a good one! The place is clean and the staff are friendly. I never wait long for my food and it arrives hot and delicious! I have yet to be disappointed! I look forward to my next visit, but right now, I HAVE A GYRO TO EAT!

My wife and I just ate here and had an amazing lunch. We rarely write reviews but felt this place was worth noting. The portions are big and food is delicious. We'll definitely be back!

I LOVE this location. I love the staff. I love the food. I LOVE LOVE the food. Coming from the east coast, we had great Greek places around every corner. Out here, not so much. They have so many dishes and platters to choose from. I love their chicken ones best. I haven't tried the lamb yet but it's on my list to taste next. Their hummus and their sauces are amazing. I can't stand when Greek places have watery sauces. Not here! The owners son who's in high school works here when he isn't in school, obviously. He has suggested something for me to try every time I have been in. Haven't been steered wrong yet! It's tucked in the back in the plaza which is why for so long I didn't even notice its existence. But now? I won't go anywhere else for Greek.

This is a hidden little gyro gem! By far the best gyro I've had in a 35 minute radius and I'm lucky it's so close to me. I'd probably drive out of my way to eat here. The traditional gyro is delicious with lots of meat. I've also tried the gyro salad which was huge and comes with both tszaki sauce and a pita side. They are super kid friendly and are very friendly to boot. They also serve up schwerma plays which I will also soon try.

We love gyros and I really wanted to love this place. My husband works at the hospital and it would have been an easy spot to pick up dinner on his way home. In fact one of the doctors had picked up some for lunch yesterday and my husband was so impressed that he insisted we change our plans and go there for dinner. We ordered the falafel, zucchini and the hummas as appetizers. Then we ordered 2 gyros sandwiches with fries and a drink. 1 regular and 1 chicken. The falafel was delivered and it was shaped like a donut with a hole in the middle. Although the outside was cooked the inside was mushy. The flavor was good but since the inside was not cooked the texture made it not edible. The zucchini was good except that it was not totally hot on the inside but the outside was close to burnt. The hummas was ok We were surprised that they only have plain flavored hummas. It was a little bland in flavor but was not bad and the pita was excellent. The sandwiches and fries were delivered and the first thing I noticed was that the fries were overcooked. The sandwiches were ok but the Tzatziki sauce was very heavy on the dill and the flavor really overpowered the sandwich. The gentleman that was working came and asked how the food was. We told him the honest truth. The oil was too hot. It caused the Falafel to not cook inside, the zucchini not to get hot inside and it burned the fries. We had only eaten 1/3 of our food and could not eat anymore. He said he would tell the chef. He came back and gave us 3 pieces of Baklava to go. (We don't even like Baklava) and that was the end of it. We threw the food away and left. In all fairness we did go to the place on a Friday night at 7:30 pm and they close at 8. Maybe had it been earlier in the day they would have offered to recook the food or do something different. Of course with the oil too hot I am not sure they could have corrected that in time. By 7:50 they were removing the meat and starting to close up shop. My husband even pointed out that he had the food earlier in the day and had a totally different experience. It was disappointing and I don't think I can give it another try mostly because they really did not seem to care that the meal sucked and overcooked.

Yum! Stopped in here tonight with my mom for dinner. We both got the gyros salad, and enjoyed it very much. It's a LOT of food! Iceberg lettuce, black olives, really good feta, bell peppers, tomatoes, and gyro meat. It came with pita and tzatziki sauce that was genuinely tangy like it should be. Friendly, polite, and fast service. One star taken away for the awfully loud Greek music playing inside-- it gave me a headache just from listening to it while waiting for my food and we elected to eat outside instead. There's no reason ANY music should play that loud in a restaurant.

This was a Greek Mediterranean restaurant for a while. Then they closed and this place reopened. They do an excellent job on the food preparation as well as a clean friendly establishment. Very nice sized portions and all of their sandwiches can be made into combos for an additional $2.50 which includes fries and a drink or a salad. I had the gyros combo With crinkle fries and a drink. I Will be coming back to try other stuff.

Kaitlyn W.
It was alright. The gyro was not as good an I expected. I hated the sauce they gave me on the side. It did not compliment the meal. The restaurant was also very small and a little cramped at lunch time. I might go back and give them a second chance, but maybe not for a while.

Came in for lunch and ordered the chicken gyro. It comes out to about $6 by itself, and an extra $2.50 to add on a drink and side/salad. I opted to keep my lunch cheap so the gyro with a water cup was enough... though I probably could have polished off a side dish. The chicken was quite tender, pita bread was soft and pliable, and came with an extra side of tzatziki sauce (so crucial). The small location is tucked away in a busy lot that shares with several very popular chain restaurants. I wouldn't be surprised if most people went there before checking out this little gyro dive. For me, it was the quick and healthy option. I noticed lots of people waiting for take-out orders, so keep that in mind if you work nearby.

This place is good. It's inexpensive. The staff know their food and their food left my mouth screaming "more!" even when my stomach said enough. Worth a trip to Scottsdale for lunch! There are two in Scottsdale. This one is the one I went to on Shea and 92nd. For some reason yelp put my review on the other one and I didn't catch it. Erg.

Mandi B.
It was okay. The pita was nice, soft and fluffy. They do not have whole wheat pita, so thats a bummer. The falafel were okay, but a little drier than I hoped. And the falafel sandwich didn't have any pickles, so it was missing that extra zing that usually makes a falafel pita so amazing. They gave me the tahini on the side so my sandwich didn't get soggy, and I ordered a side of hummus, so I added that to the sandwich too. Their hummus was okay, but it was a bit more bland than I'm used to. Could definitely use another garlic clove and a little more lemon in the recipe.

I really wanted to love this place but it fell short! Staff was very friendly when ordering and polite. I ordered the grilled chicken salad and it took about 15 minutes to get it which is fine since they made it fresh. However, the chicken was so dry, I could barely wash it down. The dressing was decent and portion ample but I just couldn't get pass the chicken being so bad. Served with a pita on the side and nothing special. Would I go back? Hmmmm, may give one more try. It's not anywhere close to Z's Greek on Indian school, think I will just make the drive to go there. Damn!

Amazingly good and very authentic Greek cuisine! It is clearly a fast food place, but the quality of the meal was great (as was the size of the serving for the price. A fast food decor, but a great place to grab a quality meal on the run!

This place is awesome! The pita I had (the firefighter) was delicious, huge, and at a great price! The inside of the restaurant is newly renovated and inviting. The service is excellent also! Check this place out!

Friendly service. The gyros is great. I recommend you order the hummus and baba ganush as an appetizer. Yum! My kids love their dinosaur kids meal :)

Chris S.
I've only ever ordered the gyro sandwich there, but it's always amazing. I'd even be happy eating the meat or pita on its own. It's extremely dark in there during the day. I've only ever been there for lunch, so it might liven up at night. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. This place will continue to be my favorite gyro spot.
(5)
Emily A.
Not only is the food amazing, but the service is incredible. I ordered a salad, and forgot to order it without cheese (not my favorite). without me asking, they made me a new salad at no extra cost. Very friendly. Love this place!

Food was Great! The best Gyro sandwich I have had since Chicago, IL. Fast, hot and fresh. The staff is friendly and the short younger female that works there is sexy with a beautiful smile. Does it get any better than a sexy female and a great Gyro?

Rachel W.
Update: Went back today for dinner, and again, the flavor was excellent but the gyros were literally HALF the size as they were previously. We ordered two gyros and my mom's was about double the size of mine. Later, we ordered one to go to bring home, and it was even smaller than mine! The inconsistency of the portions is a turn-off.

New business here where the less than stellar gyros place was beforehand. Renovations were an improvement but nothing special, however the television monitor menu pictures are great. Real disappointment with the hummus portion size because it was incredibly small for $4.25, as it was a very small side plate with a thin layer. Something like that is more like a little "add on" to a gyro for something like $2. Falafel was fairly good, but they're north of $1 per falafel croquette which is on the high side for fast food like this.

Awesome awesome food. Probably the best gyro meat I have tried in the valley, and the firefighter pita will surely satisfy spice-o-philes such as myself...mmm. Chicken gyros are just as delicious. My coworkers and I eat here at least once a week. Keep it up!

K J.
love this place! gyro pita is very good, and the tzatiki sauce is awesome. This is a hole in the wall , you will not even notice them because you have the bigger restaurant chains around them. I got tired of eating chipotle, and was in the area and stumbled into this gem of a spot! I am hooked. I recommend for sure, oh and one more thing- friendly staff!

Seems Unethical that they copied another Gyros Express nearby. I wouldn't go near people who would do that.

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
