This was our first time there and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, staff was very friendly and the decor made me feel like I was in the Mediterranean. Definitely plan on going back!

Second review (since first one inexplicably disappeared; thanx Yelp gods)... I love this place! Without a doubt, the best Mediterranean food we've had since living in the Middle East. The wife is a fan of the humongous gyros, while I will go for the Iskander kebab plate. The friendly atmosphere and great food will keep us coming back!
(5)John H.
WOW! The gyro is HUGE! I had to save half for the next day. The lamb is tender and not gamy. They pack it with so much meat that you can share. You have to get the spicy garlic sauce like everyone says in their review. The garlic humus is creamy and flavorful. The staff is so friendly and treat you like old friends.
(5)Kerri S.
1st time today and we'll definitely be back. Hummus and chicken gyro were amazing
(5)Valerie M.
so good! Both my mom's and my first time here and it did not disappoint! We both ordered lamb gyros with spicy garlic sauce and feta. Enormous, full of meat and veggies. Gloriously messy. Will be back. Especially after the expansion!
(4)Adam M.
I live across the street from this place. I may be a bit biased. However, the food is amazing! Chicken Gyro is hands down my favorite! The manager is very friendly and will talk to you while the food is being prepped. He'll offer you amazing sweets you never knew existed! When the food finally comes, it's super simple presentation, and a massive helping! I consider myself very lucky to be within walking distance of this place.
(5)Oindrila M.
Just 1 word to describe the food - Awesome! Haven't had a chance to dine in yet so I cannot comment on their service. But I have ordered a takeout thrice now and each time I was absolutely pleased with the taste and the quality of their food. Although the menu does not have too many choices, but whatever few items they have on the menu are very well prepared.
(4)Jerrad L.
Amazing food. Amazing customer service. Great prices. Clean place. Try the spicy garlic sauce.
(5)Laura K.
I have been going here for a while now and love there food. I decided that the Gyro house would be perfect for a party that I was looking to cater. It was the best decision I could have made! All of my questions were answered quickly and efficiently. Asem is in charge of the catering orders and he is so very nice! I ended up going with the build your own gyro catering option. Price per person was beyond reasonable. We got SO MUCH FOOD! So much! Everyone was very satisfied and we had ample leftovers. The guys all helped carry the food out to my car and it was packed in a very easy-to-open, organized manner. I love the atmosphere, I love the people, and I love the food. The I have never had anything less than extraordinary service here. Also - their new pizzas are amazing!
(5)Ronnie S.
Awesome service very friendly family run business. Lots of culture and the owner checks on the customers. If you like Mediterranean food you have to try this restaurant. It's not fast food they prepare the food where you can see it. They take reservations as well. It's a wait to be seated restaurant.
(5)Jenny M.
BACKGROUND - Gyros has always been a favorite Mediterranean food of mine. There have been some yummy gyros from various food carts but none that really stood out. This review is about to change your life (on gyros at least). PROS - Easy to find location, clean restaurant, friendly staff and menu items were on average $5-$8. The best Greek thing that has ever happened to me costed $5.99. It was their Gyro with lamb and beef. Most food carts (including chain restaurant Pita Pit) skimp on the meat portions, making the gyro itself 75% veggie and 25% meat. Not here. Here it is reversed, and it's just how I like it. 75% meat and 25% veggie baby! CONS - There is none. Good food, good service, a lot of parking available and so many items to choose from. POINTERS - You should get the thing that changed my life. Now I have been craving their gyros every damn day.
(5)Vlad D.
I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the food was. Trying to it here every time I'm in the area.
(5)Jay V.
Very neat place, well put together! The owner was very nice and the food was great. Undoubtedly coming back
(5)Ava J.
The ambiance is nice and casual. But as far as the food goes...... baked pita bread tasted like it had been frozen dough and not made fresh. I had the babaganoush and lamb gyro. Just okay. I had to add quite a bit of salt to the taziki sauce, and I'm not a typical "salt adder" - also finding pickles in my gyro was an unpleasant surprise. There are better places for gyros.
(2)Dale E.
Excellent food and service, great prices. One of the best casual restaurants we've eaten at. I had the lamb gyro which I highly recommend we also had the dolman and the baklava. All very good.
(5)Mona B.
So glad this place lived up to its hype. I had heard about this place for several years and finally about a month ago, I decided to check it out with a friend who had never even heard of this place. A big burly man came by our table asking if we wanted any appetizers. When we hesitated, he turned into what I can only describe as the Soup Nazi (from Seinfeld, hello) and said/yelled, "Hummus! Get hummus!". My (uh, clueless) friend naively responded, "Hummus? is it good?" (I'm ducking under the table at this point. Gotta save my own hiney) To this, Soup Nazi declared, "Hummus! it's the BEST hummus!" So we got the hummus and we each got our own lamb gyro. The verdict? yeah, it was the best hummus I've ever tasted, but it paled compared to how I felt about lamb gyro. OMG. You've got to get yourself a lamb gyro here. Not only is it the very BEST, but the price can not be beat. What's the point of getting a pile of mediocre food? that's not a deal. When you get a lot of GOOD food, THAT's an awesome deal you can write on yelp about! (so here I am writing it. Now go get some.) Oh, so that Soup Nazi dude was at the cash register when we finally figured out no one was going to bring us the check. He pretty much barked our check amount - I'd never felt more like a dang shaking chihuahua...
(4)Jason F.
Really tasty. The zaatar is crazy good. And they're super cheap.
(4)Sergio T.
First good thing to happen to me in 2014. This place gets my FATMAN SEAL OF APPROVAL! I had the combination plate. Beef, chicken and lamb all grilled to perfection. My wife had the chicken shawarma salad. Also dolmas and the humus plate. The combination plate is a big one and you need a big appetite to finish that one. The pita bread was fresh baked! This will be my go to place for Mediterranean food in the future. Now to undo my belt and keel over in a food a coma.
(5)Jacquie S.
Our HOA had the Gyros House cater our annual block party yesterday (for 100+ people) and the food couldn't have been better! Everyone loved the food and we all felt like we got a great value for the money. I will personally be back and the HOA will even consider using the restaurant again for future events. Highly recommend!
(5)Ozaer N.
Gyro house had an awesome gyro sandwich, with just the right amount of 'shtuff' in it. The feta cheese topping was an added extra plus. I liked the layout inside and the fresh warm bread was tasty, and went perfect with the homemade hummus. Need to try out their pepperoni pizza next, as it looked very tasty....with shrooms on it. I recommend this place, as local Arabs frequent it often, which must mean the food is authentic and awesome.
(4)Kara E.
This place is seriously the BEST Greek food I've ever had. Not only is it mouth watering, but it's so well priced! My only regret is that I eat it way too fast and then its gone :) I've had the Vegetarian plate which comes with their AMAZING pita and hummus, dolmas, falafel, a Greek salad and I choose a spinach pie. I've also had their lentil soup and all of those were absolutely fantastic! But seriously...the pita bread - the pita bread is fresh, homemade and soooo incredibly good!! The last time I ordered it they had just pulled it out of their oven so it was warm, soft and oh so delicious! I want to also add that the service is just as good as the food. I'm always treated with kindness, helpfulness and the owner is such a nice man!! I've already eaten there twice this week and I'm thinking of going again!! Love it!
(5)Jillianne D.
The food was really, really good. BUT I did not appreciate being watched by 6, yes 6, employees while I ate my food. It was a slow day and they were clearly overstaffed. The staff literally stood there and watched us eat our food. It was really unsettling. Also, a guy (the owner?) was sitting on the side talking on facetime with someone quite loudly and showing them the people sitting in the restaurant trying to enjoy their lunch. Very strange.
(3)Keith P.
This has to be my favorite Mediterranean place in the whole of North America. The food is amazing, the service is swift, the staff is friendly, and the prices are right. There are days I'll stop in just for the hummus (it's that good)
(5)J C.
Authentic, clean halal. Homemade pitas. Real hummus, not the playdough many ate used to eating. Gyros, chicken, lamb and lamb kafka. Basmati safron rice... everything is good.
(5)Ed J.
Fast service, good food, inexpensive prices. 'Nuff said.
(4)Lin N.
The thing that sets Gyro House apart is the meat. Marinated and seasoned in a way that you don't get at a lot of other similar places.
(4)Amber S.
I wish I found this place years ago. Best gyro I've had. HUGE. The hummus is very good too. Excellent service by a bunch of cute Greek boys. Worth the drive out to the middle of nowhere in Hillsboro or Beaverton or whatever you call this neighborhood.
(5)Holly A.
The gyros are ridiculously delicious! The spivey garlic sauce on the gyro is a must as well as adding feta to it!!! FAV place for gyro's for sure!
(5)Kacie R.
I'm from utah, and this was our first stop to eat. Amazing food, Great quality, lots of meat & food! To top it off the customer service was fantastic!! Which is hard to say about most places these days! Will be back!!!
(5)Michele B.
I love Gyro House! I've had both the lamb and the chicken gyros (enormous!), and kabobs (lamb, chicken, veggie). All of it was fantastic. The hummus is truly the best I've ever had, both in terms of texture and flavor. I do wish they would give you more flatbread with the hummus appetizer though. This is probably my only real complaint. There's no way to devour all of that wonderful hummus with the skimpy portion of flatbread they give you, so inevitably, you have to order extra. The service is hit or miss depending on who your server is and what time you go, but it's never stopped me from indulging in this little gem of a restaurant. I go for the food. Thumbs up Gyro House!
(4)Stephanie B.
Went for the first time tonight and I will be back! Not only was the food delicious but the service was great!!!
(5)Misty B.
Ohhhhh Gyro House. Mad Greek used to have my favorite gyros, but since coming to Gyro House, I have a new favorite. On my first visit, I tried the chicken gyro. While it was good, I was drooling over my husband's lamb gyro. We've gone back several times and I only get the lamb now. It's the best lamb I have ever had on a gyro before. They don't use those prepackaged lamb "coldcut" type slices, but real chunks of perfectly cooked and seasoned shredded lamb. love the addition of pickles to the gyros. Have them add feta and make sure to get the spicy garlic sauce with it. These gyros are HUGE and they are DELICIOUS. Other things I've tried are the hummus and the felafel. Their hummus is so good. Really thick and creamy and topped with really flavorful olive oil and a green olive. Get extra pitas with it because they don't give you enough. The felafel plate (without pita) comes with this yummy garlicy sauce to dip them in. Their fries are little ruffle cut fried potato rounds. Dip them in the spicy garlic sauce, or the hummus! Yummm.
(5)John T.
Got 6 bucks and you're in the Tanasbourne area and hungry? go here and get yourself a gyro. This has to be the tastiest gyro place in the PDX area. i know that is saying a lot being how a lot of people swear by Foti on burnside What do they do right here? the kebab is nicely seasoned, juicy, and roasted on a spit in front where everyone can see. The amount of meat they stuff in the pita is excessive to the point where they are over doing it. But then hey, is that really a bad thing? The star of this dish has to be their spicy garlic sauce. This is something that is delicious if you like garlic. If you love garlic then you're going to be like me drool as you're on route to this place. Seriously though, this place is delicious go here for a gyro and let them win you over.
(5)Tiffany T.
We were back again. Could not resist potato chip like french fries and garlic sauce on gyros with tomatos, lushious lamb, letuce and pickles. As my husband keeps saying its been a while since he's lived near a restaruant with food this great. Numtastic!
(5)chemaatah a.
No. This had to be some of the worst hummous I've ever had the displeasure of eating. Hummous is not supposed to have the consistency of mayonnaise, and it's not supposed to weirdly taste like mayonnaise either. Where is the tahini, or the garlic? Lemon? This stuff was about as bland as Wonder Bread. With it's pitiful little piece of Kronos flatbread, and pointless little cocktail olive, this appetizer just depressed me. Grocery store bread. I still can't get over that. No. This lamb gyro was not all that. The meat was nicely seasoned, and rather tasty. It's really unfortunate that everything else about the sandwich was so bad that it dragged the good part down with it. Spicy garlic sauce? Eww. Again with the weird mayonnaise thing, like Best Foods mixed with garlic salt, and then inexplicably dyed kind of an orangish color. Not good. And gross, cheap-o feta. Also the same grocery store flat bread getting soggy underneath it all. Foti's may have used the same kind of bread, but at least they made up for it with the most glorious, sharpest, tangiest tzaztiki the world has ever known, and big slabs of completely delicious feta. Gyro House's was like the feta equivalent of that crappy Kraft parmesan cheese that comes in the green can. No thank you.
(1)Betse M.
So delicious! I can't say enough good things about the gyro (lamb) sandwich I had - perfect seasoning, plenty of meat in the sandwich, great sauces, fresh, ripe veggies.
(5)Hayden N.
Cheap prices and delicious food! The spicy garlic sauce on the fries was amazing. I had the vegetarian platter and I am not a big fan of green bell peppers or tomatoes but it was good--I didn't miss meat at all. The sandwiches were big, I heard great reviews of the lamb but the chicken was a little dry according to my friends. They accommodated our party of 14 people with reservation. The server and workers were hospitable and very welcoming!
(4)Ludo N.
The Falafal sandwich was tiny (like 1/3 the size of the animal sandwiches) and came with tzatziki sauce even though it was not on the menu like that. Extremely underwhelming, vegans stay away.
(1)Kari D.
Yum! Just came back from eating here (after reading Yelp reviews, of course!). So delicious and busy without being crowded. We decided to snack on some baba ganoush while waiting for our friend to arrive. It was delicious and tasted super fresh. Then, between the three of us, we had a chicken gyro sandwich, a lamb gyro sandwich, a falafel sandwich and fries. I can't vouch for the lamb as I didn't try it, but the chicken and falafel were pretty spectac. And the garlic sauce that everyone's been raving about? Yeah, it really is that good. (Even the fries were pretty delish. And round.) And, I should mention, the sandwiches are HUGE, so for only $5.99 you really can't ask for more. We bought a piece of baklava to take home "for later." It was gone before we turned the key in our door.
(5)Mari T.
After reading so many recommendations for this place on the Yelp Talk boards and the great reviews, I had to try this place, since it was so close to my new house and we love Mediterranean food in our house. I am giving it 3 stars for having pretty good food and a nice serving crew, but only 3 stars due to the price and some small but important details being messed up. I liked that there was plentiful parking in the lot since the other shops in the strip mall were closed. We weren't sure if it was a seat yourself situation or an order at the counter place, so we waited in line at the cashier counter and asked. The guy grabbed some menus and seated us promptly. Not a lot to choose from on the menu, but that is not a bad thing. By being focused, I think the food is better. We ordered the Veggie Maza Plate to start with and for 3 people it was a good size to share. I wish that they served more pita with the appetizers because 4 triangles of pita of for the hummus and 4 for the baba ghanouj was not enough. That being said, the hummus and baba were REALLY good. The hummus was a little smoother than I like, but it was still top notch. The baba was smoky and tangy and not too smooth, easily one of the better versions we have had. I got the jallab syrup drink and it was a lot more floral than I was expecting. The flavor was a little too perfumy for me -- it was like licking an old lady who was on her way to church... My husband asked for his water with no ice and the water came with lots of ice, so boo on that... The entrees were good -- my bro-in-law ordered the chicken gyro with the garlic sauce on the side, I ordered the Kafta kababs and my hubs ordered the kabab sampler plate. The gyro was huge and tasty looking, but they put the garlic sauce on the gyro instead of on the side which bummed us out. The salad was good and I loved that it wasn't over-dressed. The kababs were really good. The chicken was not over-cooked, the kafta was moist and flavorful and I was told the lamb was very good (I didn't try it). The rice was spicy as hell. I think it was more of a fried rice type of dish. I am used to my basmati rice being a nice nutty counterpoint to the rest of the entree. I thought it was the kafta that was so spicy but my husband assured me that it was the rice (and since I usually eat my rice WITH the meat, I hadn't tried them separately). I wish that they had an option for plain basmati rice We got some baklava and cream horns to go, so it was a pleasant meal all together. The price was a little steep ($60 for 3 people), but if you get all gyros i am sure it will be a much better price. All in all, a decent experience. Not the best, by far, but it's nice to know I can get a good gyro without driving all the way across the city.
(3)Daniel W.
The hummas is so good, that I can no longer eat store bought hummas.
(5)L. C.
Wow! It is very unassuming from the exterior...just another store front in a strip center. But once inside you are immediately greeted and seated by their very friendly staff. My benchmark item in Greek and Mediterranean restaurants is the gyros and theirs did not disappoint, the meat was flavorful, the tzatziki was tart and the sandwich was huge! I also had the Turkish coffee and baklava. The baklava was nutty and sweet with the subtle taste of the rosewater...best I've had since I last had my dad's! A definite hidden treasure!
(5)Pdx S.
The owner of this place is rude and with attitude. I also heard the same from one of my friend as well.
(1)Paul G.
I went out of my way to try to this place. The food was good, and the staff seemed very nice. HOWEVER, I was quite upset, and annoyed about a week later. What happened: my order came to $26 and some change. I ordered to go: 2 falafel sandwiches, and 2 Lamb Gyros, and a baklava. Turns out I was CHARGED $2600.00. They ran my card, the owner did something, and then I saw he ran my card again. Turns out he ran my card twice. I never saw the 2600 charge in the store; didnt know it even happened. I signed for my 26 dollar bill and left a tip. Days later I find out when attempting to use my debit/credit card that it has been placed on restriction for unusual activity (i.e., thousands of dollars at a gyro place) and I cant use it. The owner obviously made his mistake, BUT NEVER CANCELLED HIS MISTAKE, NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT. No problem making a mistake, BUT please cancel or credit back your screw up, dont just let it slide and not tell me about it. They seem to have a nice mark up on those sandwiches. I then had to deal with my bank, and waste my time unrestricting my card. Thankfully my bank took back 2600 dollar charge. Very disappointing that they would not correct what must be a common mistake (punching the wrong or too many numbers) and they leave me to have to deal with a major headache problem with my card. In the end no matter how good their food tasted I have an unfortunate bitter taste in my mouth, and it could have been prevented had the owner done the right thing, and cancel their OUTRAGEOUS charge to begin with.
(2)Tyson E.
Best gyro ever! Was so good, had to go back the next night for another one. Piles of tender and savory lamb, spicy garlic sauce, and a handful of feta all on a warm, chewy pita. It was awesome. Twice.
(5)Lyn L.
Great food, friendly service. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended is their hummous plate. Definitely ask for extra pita with it. I normally have the gyros, but this time I went with the lamb kebab and was delighted. The rice is curried and amazing, with that distinctive basmati flavor. Great place!
(4)Jason S.
I had been searching for a REAL gyro in the metro area for a number of years....one where the gyro meat is actually cooked on.the spigot and sliced off as needed. This place it it....finally. 6 bucks for a gyro LOADED with meat! Mad Greek Deli? No. Greek Deli on E Burnside? No, both those places are the pre-cooked frozen then fried gyro meat joints. If you want a REAL gyro, make the drive to this place. My wife and I.have been back numerous times and it's just as good ad the last. Service is good and the prices are good, and the gyros ROCK!
(5)Rann M.
Love love this place. Best in town. I would recommend to everyone! :)
(5)Erin K.
Awesome gyros!! Do yourself a favor and get spicy garlic sauce and feta on your gyro. Takes it from good to great. Lamb is best....chicken is ok. Their hummus is also fantastic!
(4)Ian V.
Fresh, good, quality Mediterranean food and that's not easy to find around here. I could care less for anything else.
(5)Matt W.
Best gyro that I have ever had. You have got to get the spicy garlic and feta. The hummus is also top notch. Make sure to get extra pita. Love this place, fair prices, great food, good people.
(5)Orian I.
mmmmmm droool!! I was just lamenting that my office was stuck way the hell out here and I wish I could have a food cart gyro. my co-worker tells me there's a gyros place, intrigued? yes I was. reading the other reviews I must say, ehrm..what I've found is most middle eastern place/owners use the term Mediterranean, this does not mean Greek, the food style is Mediterranean. because umm it is. whether it's easier to blanket statement the type of food, or if they just don't want to be harassed for being middle eastern, who knows. so two things, I love the subtle differences on of regional cuisine, more or less sumac, more tahini, more garlic, less, whatever, the flavors can vary. The place was packed, but the server apologetically checked in with us several times. I got the flafel starter, was expecting tahini but got the tzaski, still tasty, a little on the salty side but perfectly fried soft and hot. We got the skewer combo plate, and the lamb gyros. holy giant gyros, I'm not sure what this mayonnaise complaint is, i didn't experience that at all. the yogurt was lightly tangy and mildly minty. I couldn't even fit my mouth around that thing, they pile on the meat it's amazing. I've never had a gyros with that much meat, which was perfectly spit rotated and tasty. also pickles sigh pickles, pickles are awesome. this is essential i feel and i always get extra. Israeli style always comes with pickles and fries in the sandwich, i prefer it. The skewers combo plate was awesome that lamb kabob was unreal, perfectly cooked and seasoned. the rice was tasty as well. The service was awesome the value was better and the food was spectacular. I will come back at least once a week I'm sure. yay for them opening!

What makes a restaurant worthy of 5 stars? Simple: you love everything about eating there. Gyro House replaced a crappy pizza place with a dining experience that is sublime and beautiful. Let's be organized about the review, shall we? Decor: What saves this from being YASMHH (Yet Another Strip Mall Hell Hole) is the beautiful photos on the walls. It IS a strip mall. I'm OK with that. But the juxtaposition of Jordanian ruins that look like something out of Raiders of the Lost Ark and an Iranian modern monument that gives Moscow a run for its money... that's how you make the simple strip mall decor WORK. Service: Amazing. The owner attends to everyone personally (note: he will need more help, particularly an attentive busboy-type, so he doesn't have to do everything himself). He remembers you from visit to visit. He recommends things to try (note: he was right... the jallab drink was AMAZING!)... He takes (rightful) pride in his food. This is one of the few restaurants that makes me wish I were a single loner who could just hang out and eat there every night. That's how lovely it feels to go there. Food: Un-be-f-ing-lievable. Look, it's Middle Eastern street food. That's what you're there for. If you expect something else, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. For what it is intended to be, it is lovely and beautiful and most of all freakin' delicious! Gyros were delightful. (note: to the reviewer who gave 2 stars because they put pickles on them... that's called "regional variation," not "Americanized." Not every authentic gyro/shwarma/doner kebab/etc. should taste like it came from Daphne's Place... and thank God for that!) I haven't tried the desserts... I never managed to save room. Menu Highlights: Meze plate (omg... the baba... the dolmas..) Gyros (get 'em with the spicy garlic sauce) Lamb kabobs (BEAUTIFULLY marinated and PERFECTLY cooked) Taboulli (perfect balance of flavors) They also had a salad whose name I forgot, but it had fried pita on it (which was good) but dressed ever-so-delicately with a za'atar based seasoning. Possibly the best "Middle Eastern salad" I've ever had. Beverages (Jallab and sour cherry were YUMMY) In short: Go there. Go there often and lots and spend lots of money. The number of great places to eat in Beaverton/Hillsboro can be counted on one hand, and this is one of them. Let's do our part and keep them in business, shall we?

Gyro House. Their logo has a little house in it. Never assumed how delicious this place would be judging by the outside! A definite diamond in the rough. Every time I go, I get the Gyro Lamb Wrap. It is gigantic, so if you order this and can't eat a lot, might want to split with someone. I also recommend ordering any appetizer with hummus. Gyro House has the ability to make the smoothest hummus I have ever tasted. Would kill for some right about now. Service here is amazing. I believe it's a family run business and the owner here really treats you well. Especially if he doesn't recognize you, he comes and says hello! Will continue returning to Gyro House. PS. Get the spicy garlic sauce.
(4)Earl D.
I Love this place! I am in school out of state and whenever I get back to Oregon I Have to eat here. Great food, excellent customer service and Huge portions!

What a find! (seriously!) After seeing it being advertised on yelp as one of the "Top 5 Hot Picks". I had to see for myself what Gyro House was all about. My first visit to Gyro House, I wasn't even planning on visiting. I just happened to be driving by and noticed that it was really close by to my neighborhood. It was lunch, I was hungry and thought, "Why not?!" The venue is pretty much at the same plaza as Go-Go Burger, which is on the corner of Baseline. What I like about this place is that it is family owned and you can see all the love and care that the family puts into making this business successful. The staff is very friendly and actually treat you as if you were a part of the family. With their warm smiles and helpfulness, they vouch and are proud of their dishes, which I must say I do agree. If you don't want to drive all the way down to Portland to find good Mediterranean food, you can come to Gyro House and pick up a few items. I've had their LAMB PLATE which comes with basmati rice, salad with their tzatziki sauce is drizzled over their salad and meat as well. My only wish for the dish is that it came with some pita bread on the side. Other than that the dish was quite delicious and for $10.99 it was awesome for two meals for little ol' me. My second visit there was the other night and I had their LAMB GYRO ($5.99) which I must say was scrumptious from beginning to end. They were not shy on the lamb I must say and that also goes the same for the Lamb Plate that I had originally. I would definitely order both of those items again. I also tried out their meat pie, and I had nothing to compare it to but it was okay for me. So other yelpers have been saying that this place is Lebanese food. I guess I can agree with that because the family did have an accent. I know that the restaurant is owned by the husband and wife, and their brother also helps them out and works there as well. You can either dine in, take out or call-in your order to pick up. They can get quite busy and I highly recommend checking this place out. I've always said I'm all for supporting local businesses and family owned places. I would totally support Gyro House all the way! :)
(4)Christina R.
Gyro lamb - the best I ever had. The meat is tender, the sauce is delicious, the bread is awesome. The hummus is great, very smooth and tasty. And the guys working at the Gyro House are amazing, friendly and fun. This place is well worth the half hour drive. We will definitely be back again and again and again!!

Really, I loved this place. The food is amazing! They serve a man-size gyro! The help is super friendly. They owner said, "Hey, next time you're in I'll give you a free desert!" Super friendly and really good food. LOVED IT!!!

Great food, great service, and did I mention great food? I'm not a big fan of gyro wraps but I LOVE the lamb kabob plate that they have. I haven't had a good lamb kabob since I lived in Los Angeles, so I was excited to find this place. I've gone back about 6 times and order the lamb kabob every time! It's juicy, SO flavorful, and tender. It comes with rice that has a kick to it, and yummy salad. You get two kabob's but the portion they serve is big. Worth the $13 or so I pay for it. Oh, and try the baklava too. DELISH! The place is a little small so you want to get there between 11:30-11:45 or around 1pm. Hope this helps!

I have eaten at this place enough times that I think it's time for a review. Most times, I get the lamb gyro. a couple of times I got chicken and Eskendar dish (which is lamb gyro in a big dish) The lamb is very well cooked and seasoned. The portions are generous. veggies and yogurt are fresh. Hot sauce is good too. The pita bread is kind of like something you get at Costco.... Not authentic enough. Hummus is average. Too creamy (or over-processed) for my taste. The "feta" cheese they offer is like some chemical shredded on your food. Do they really think people don't know what feta cheese looks and taste like? But for the price, I suppose you can't expect more. Don't get the feta cheese. Not worth a buck.... The chicken shawarma is average. It's tasted like it was marinated forever. The meat had almost lost all of its firmness and natural juices. The tomato sauce in Eskandar dish was just bad. It tasted like tomato paste that was sauteed in pan a little bit. as for service, it's good. I felt like I was kind of being rushed to leave at their busy hour, but maybe not....Service is fast. I will keep going there and try other items as long as they offer great portions and reasonable prices. but I still seek better Mediterranean food in Portland area.

The spicy garlic sauce is really delicious. Kebab and gyro also awesome.

So my boyfriend was in Beaverton a year ago on a buisiness trip and stopped by this place,, He had nothing but good things to say... Here I am a year later in Beaverton and thinking where am I going to eat... I stop off at this place and boy am I glad I did,,, I ended up having the lamb/ground beef kabab.... DAAAAAAAMN!!!! Delish!!! The portions are generous and abosolutely delicious!!! The owner came out to greet everyone in the restaurant.. Super cool guy and even brought us some hummus for free... You really just cant find places like this these days... Highly recommend this place!!

Finally, Anne Marie and I don't have to go to Seattle to find someone who makes a gyro just the way we like it. The spit rotated lamb is amazing, and add that incredible spicy garlic sauce and you have, in my opinion, a perfect gyro. The baklava was not as sweet as others I've tried...which is a good thing. The service was kind and genuine. If you like gyros at all, you have to stop by this place. Its a little hidden in the same complex as GoGo Burgers and Chatterbox Coffee on the corner of Baseline and 205th.
(5)Allan K.
Been here a few times and each time its been Excellent! Best Falafel, Gyro's and Taboule. Staff is very friendly and always available. Please try for a fresh and delicious experience.
(4)Joy M.
There is really nothing bad to say about this place. We have been going there since they first opened and have since expanded their space. The portions are large and the flavors are even larger. Very tasty hummus and baba ganoush for starters. They are very generous with their meat portions and have good options for vegetarians. The guys there know us from being there so often and are always friendly no matter how busy they are; hey, if you haven't tried their lentil soup, give it a try-add a little sriracha if you like a little spice. Actually, add the Sri to everything even though their food doesn't need it. I just like it in Everything!!! Give them a try-they won't disappoint.
(5)Babs J.
Authentic middle eastern hummus. Wonderful! Pitas soft & super yummy. Falafel gyros very good! I would have liked the Greek salad to have more cucumbers & tomatoes, lower % of lettuce. Decor nothing fancy. Will definitely be back often, maybe take out the most often.
(4)Chuck S.
Went during the lunch hour. It should have been a mistake, by what other reviewers had written. Not for my wife and I. Each of us had a Gyro and split a Greek salad. Way too much food. The Gyro's were HUGE. They packed in the beef/lamb, No shortage there. And it has a great flavor. The salad was nice and cold, like a salad should be. The dressing was a parade of flavors. Pepperoncini, lemon, tazikki, Kalmatta, and some we could not identify. Each bite was different. We did not mix the salad together, so that is probably why we got the seperate tastes. What a treat. I think when you are finished, you don't wait for your check, you just go to the cash register and give them your table number. That is how it worked for us. We will definitly be back.
(5)Sarah L.
This place is always packed. Luckily they are expanding their restaurant in the coming weeks to include the space next door. They are always fast and friendly. The food is awesome . Our family loves the hummus and baba plates along with the chicken gyro. Yumm!
(5)Pat B.
This place has probably the best gyro's I've had since eating at a Greek restaurant in Europe with a complimentary shot of ouzo. The spicy garlic sauce was GREAT!!!
(5)Bon Vivan T.
Summary: Still great. Just went back for dunch (Dinner/Lunch) today - yep, Gyro House is as good as it ever was. This time, I had the chicken gyro with feta and extra spicy garlic sauce. Yum! As Dian said in a separate review, I got the hummus and was advised to get extra pita - which I did. It was fresh, hot and delicious, but I could have gotten by with the standard 4 slices, then using the leftover rind of my gyro sandwitch to finish off the remaining hummus, but whatever. Asim, the owner, was there and was also very friendly, as was the server. What more could you ask for - cheap, clean and good. This place is great and I'll be back.
(5)Jason F.
Love this place! Their gyros are so good & huge!! I've taken many friends & co-workers here & they all love it!
(5)Ben H.
Hands down the best Gyros in town! The food is fantastic, the staff is very friendly, the portions are extremely generous and you can't beat their prices. Don't forget to ask for the garlic sauce on your sandwich, it adds just the right amount of zing without too much heat. My wife and I go here for lunch every chance we get.
(5)Cody B.
Gyro with spicy garlic sauce is amazing! Add a buck fifty for some unique fries and you got a delicious meal. Excellent, friendly customer service too!
(5)Joshua P.
Best falafel in the area. Ãœber yummy! Fresh and perfectly cooked. We will be back.
(5)Jessica N.
really great food, cooked and served by really nice people!
(5)Arinda P.
$5.99 buys you a baby sized lamb gyro! Absolutely delicious and more than fulfilling. I powered through more than half of it, but in the end, food won :( I recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking yummy gyros and hot, crispy falafels!!
(4)Rick K.
Just found out about this place and its not too far from my house...booyah!!! Great food & service! I had a lamb gyro and the wife had the chix schwarma plate and we split a fatoush salad...everything was excellent! The gyros are huge (only $6) and the spicy garlic sauce they use really gives it a bite. We shared the fatoush salad w/ the whole family because it was so big (and very good). This will definitely be one of my new hang outs!!!
(4)Greg H.
Awesome food and friendly staff!! The best Greek food on the West side!!!
(5)Fares A.
Went here for the first time today and had the chicken gyro and the lamb gyro, huge! Huge and delicious... Clean restaurant with friendly staff, one of the owners actually came out and wished my sister a happy bday, made us feel very at home. Highly recommended would come back for sure!
(5)Michael H.
The wife and I stopped in here after work last Wednesday. We've eaten here several times (we've ordered everything on the menu, and it's all very good). We were seated as soon as we walked in the door. As always the waitstaff are super friendly and attentive. We ordered the Baba Ghanouj for an appetizer and we both ordered the Gyro Lamb Plate. The baba was very rich and tasty ( we pretty much inhaled it ). The lamb was super tender and well seasoned and went well with the basmati rice and the Greek salad that came with it. (Lot of food) Would have ordered Baklava, but we were both too stuffed. Great food, nice portion size, reasonable prices, and friendly waitstaff are several reasons that keep us coming back!
(4)Drach V.
Had the Kabob Combination plate on my recent road trip to Oregon. Fourth visit (all take-out) over the last year since I first stumbled onto this place after the Air Show in Hillsboro last summer. On all three prior visits, I really absolutely loved the Kabob Combination plate (5+ stars!) until this last visit, because they changed the garlic sauce they used to have and replaced it with a reddish, spicier, peppery, and inferior (in my humble opinion) sauce that looks like McDonald's Secret Sauce but has some kick to it. Maybe the old white garlic-heavy sauce is available. I will try one more time and ask for the old sauce. It was so good I tried to reproduce it when I got home. I must have missed some critical ingredient, because I didn't quite get there. If they don't have it any more, then the 4 stars will be of primarily of historical interest, since I probably will go somewhere else, in search of that elusive white sauce that I was served on all previous visits. :) Seriously, the food quality is good and *you* my fried might like their new reddish sauce better anyway. Give it a try.
(4)Julie M.
My husband and I went here for lunch and had a great experience. We had the $2.99 side of hummus and pitas to start. Delicious! We both had Chicken Gyro and a small side of fries. Delicious! The service was great -- they kept our water glasses full -- and very friendly. We ended with baklava, which blew other baklava away. The craziest thing was our bill. We went to pay and it was under $20. We couldn't believe that so much good food could be so cheap! Good food here. Really.
(5)John D.
Hands down the best gyro in Portland metro area! I'm a huge greek food fan and try every place I come across. Sure its in a strip mall in Hillsboro, but walk into this place and the smell alone will tell you its good. It is extremely affordable; $5.99 for a huge gyro (get the spicy garlic sauce!). The Greek salad is acceptable, but I recommend the Fatoush Salad. Also, get one of their housemade desserts, every one I've tried has been delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough!!
(5)Martine H.
The smoothest hummus I've ever had. Everything is great and they are super friendly.
(5)Sriram R.
I just want to say that if you're looking for good Lebanese food this is the place to go. It used to be a place called 'Star Pizza' which was probably one of the worst pizza joints you could have ever gone to. Although you could have indian style pizza which I thought was unique. That said, I had the lamb gyros and it was just really awesome and so large! We had a modest group of 6 of us and the restaurant was pretty busy and because we had to wait for long ( we really didn't) the owner gave us free Dolmades even though we didn't have to. ALl teh food so far was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place. One other thing is that the owners are authentic. They treat their restaurant as their home and the people who come there as their guests. Their hospitality is outstanding. Please make sure you reciprocate and accord them with respect as guest would do their host and it will be returned 100 fold.
(5)Tallia B.
Had a chicken gyro and hummus with pita bread. Both were excellent. The staff was extremely friendly... I was only grabbing food to go I was wowed. Glad this place is close to home... I will definitely be back.
(5)Zach S.
Love this place! One of the best gyros you'll find for miles. The owner is super friendly and genuine. Check this place out and make sure you get a side of the spicy garlic sauce.
(5)David S.
Fantastic value, fantastic food I would eat there again and again.
(5)Elizabeth F.
The Lamb Gyros are awesome! The sauce is perfect...very authentic...it's especially good with the spicy garlic sauce. For those that reviewed this place and said they don't understand the pickles, they are actually authentic. It just depends what country you are from. Also they don't use feta cheese because it's not a Greek Restuarant...it's Arabic. If you want feta cheese go to a Greek Restaurant. The owners are incredible. Each time we go in, all three of them remember us and ask how we've been. They also take the time to come to every table and ask how the food is. They work very hard to make this an awesome place to eat and hang out. If you ever have room after your meal (doubtful) make sure to grab some baklava.
(5)M Q.
Me and friend went there for lunch. My friend ordered the hallal gyros which was sliced bologna type meat. Mine was the chicken platter. It was a major disappointment. I have been there a few times and every time I was either treated rudely by the owner's brother or the food was terrible. GO TO KABOB HIOUSE and put up with rude guy there since his KABOB is worth it.
(1)Rodney M.
I love the food, atmosphere, and the two brothers that own it. I ate there last night at 830. My wife and I did not know what to do for a late dinner and found they were still open. We arrived and found the place busy and bustling with energy and customers. What amazed the two of us was the diversity of customers in the Gyro House. It was awesome. People from all corners of the world were represented. Plus the two brothers that run the place work hard for you and the food is the best on the west side for Mediterranean food. It is not very often you go to an establishment and see the owners always there. I can not remember one time we have gone and the two brothers were not there. Great food, great service, at a great price. My wife and I shared a Gyro, had Greek salad, hummus plate and two soda's all for under $25. A Great dinner. Thank you
(5)Lorraine H.
Discovered this restaurant through all the great Yelp reviews. Helps that its really close to home. We started with the Tabouli salad. Delicious. I had the Gyro lamb plate and my bf had the kabob combo plate. Both were wonderful. We ended with the Baklava. I found Gyro House Meditteranean Grill well worth the five star rating I have given it. I am only sorry it took me so long to find this place.
(5)Lorena R.
Now that Gyro House has expanded we are happy to see the place thriving, as usual! Service continues to be great, very friendly and attentive. Food quality, portions and taste continue to be amazing. The overall atmosphere continues to be very welcoming. Kudos to the Gyro House owners and team!!! (BTW, the baklava is to die for!!!)
(5)Sean B.
We have never had a bad meal here. The food is delicious, the portions huge and the staff friendliest in town.
(5)Megan T.
I have mixed feelings about this place. The hummus was really disappointing but the gyros were good and I would come back from them. The servers are friendly but not attentive. They don't listen. I had to correct my order three times and I still walked away with it not how I asked for. I have worked in the food industry and it is not enough to just put good food it is about customer service. How hard is it to put sauce on the side?!
(2)Sam N.
Excellent food at a most reasonable price. The food holds the authentic mediterranean flavors and even improves on it for certain dishes. We came in a large group and ordered almost everything on the menu. I was immensely impressed with the quality of the food and the excellent service. A must try whenever you are in the area.
(5)Zingzang z.
This place is really good. As good as the some of the best Mediterranean places in town like Yahala. The lamb, the chicken and the rice were all very good. I also tried the baklava since many yelpers liked it and I agree it was awesome. Giving it 5 stars since its really good, and its nice to have a good place in this part of town.
(5)Isaac F.
I drive past this place everyday and have been really looking forward to it opening. It finally opened this week and my wife and son and I went in the second day they were open. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. My wife and I both got the lamb gyro which was awesome. We got the chicken skewer for our son (who is very picky) and he didn't like it, but I tasted it and thought it was pretty good. They didn't have any milk for our son, but made a point tell us that we had brought it to their attention that they should have milk for kids and they are going to start selling it. Overall, my wife an I really loved the place and can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu.
(5)Benjamin V.
Really excellent food, at a descent price. I was talking with the chef and its all made in house. Had gyro and lentil soup and turkish coffee. The soup was made by the man serving us and it was great. The service was great came in welcomed with a hello and a smile. Had 4 in our party and every one was very pleased with their food. Only regret was not having room for made in house baklava
(5)Cindy T.
I had the chicken gyro sandwich. The chicken was pretty juicy and tender. I ordered spicy garlic sauce on top of it. It was AWESOME. Puts a little twist to the traditional gyro sandwich. Their pita bread was pretty soft and chewy too.
(5)Chris M.
Great gyros. The spicy garlic sauce deserves the praise. Hummus was also creamy and light. Love this place.
(5)Trevor G.
I haven't had a bad meal there yet.

The owner and staff are very friendly, the food is great, and the prices are excellent!
(5)K Q.
YUM!! These are the BEST Gyros i have experienced around. and holy big! Love the garlic sauce and the hummus is to die for!
(5)Savannah D.
I was more in the mood for Lebanese but not patient enough to drive in PDX, but I also adore Greek so I made my way to the Gyro House. When I arrived, there was only one family eating in the dining area, but it was loud enough that made me glad I was a to-go order. I could hardly understand the fellow taking my order. Several people in the kitchen area buzzing around like busy bees is a good sign. Now, to the food. I got a lamb gyro, hummus, baba ganoush, falafel and basmati rice for our nice quiet evening at home. The gyro is a generous portion. If you are super hungry, I recommend it. The meat itself seemed to lack something. The sandwich was chock-full of feta, tomatoes and lettuce... and pickles. (??) Never had that in a gyro before. Interesting combination, but it didn't completely turn me off. The hummus is nice and creamy with a touch of tahini. (My fav. addition to hummus!) The baba ganoush is okay, but I wish it were a little chunkier. In comparison to other restaurants, their orders of hummus and baba ganoush were generous as well. But I only received two pieces of pita bread. /sadface I will be going to the store shortly to pick up more bread so we can finish the two. Unnecessary trips are frustrating on a Friday night after a long day of work. Overall, not bad. Next time I am jonsing for Lebanese, I will just make the trip to PDX.

Great food and great service...the lamb was exceptional!
(5)Tim O.
lamb gyro is great, i second the spicy garlic sauce and feta as a must. Especially when getting the fries. It pushes them over the top.. Service is great, only thing i would of liked would be some air conditioning, it was hot in there last time we visited.
(4)Daniel R.
Very tasty. We had chicken gyros and loved them. Service is friendly too and colorful decor inside makes it feel warm, not like a strip mall. In one sentence: You can't go wrong with Gyro House Mediterranean Grill.
(4)Mikey H.
Best Gyro's I've had in a while!!
(5)Sam P.
Delicious! Wonderful people! The basanti rice is so good, yum, like heaven and the humus is addictive. I would just say YES try this place, you will love it.
(5)Todd P.
Whoa, serious gyro with great sauce and feta! Friendly army of servers attending to your every need. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Clarkitty C.
Went here for a Gyro to go. They are massive. While I waited the owner showed me how they make their Baba Ganouj. Fun. Great vibe here. Positive friendly staff. Its hard not to become addicted to this place. A bit crowded as far as seating goes but thats the only bad.
(5)Kristin H.
Amazing hummus and baba ghanoush like no other! I have never been disappointed here, the people are wonderful...I love this place!
(5)Jeff D.
I read the Yelp reviews of this restaurant, and being residents of Beaverton who are always on the lookout for a good restaurant nearby, my wife and I decided to try it out for lunch. We were not disappointed and in fact, we were surprised! It is a rather unassuming place from the outside and would be easy to miss. However, the restaurant staff and owners welcome you like you are family and make you feel as if you were guests in their home - in Lebanon, which was very nice. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, making sure we were satisfied throughout our meal. We ordered the Baba Ganouche appetizer, with garlic and it was soooo delicious! I read someone complaining about the pita bread being store bought or something, but if that is the case, all I can say is my wife and I both commented on how good it tasted, and it was warm, too. We both ordered the Yogurt drink, with mint. Admittedly, we were wrong to be expecting something a bit sweet, because the drink is in fact, plain yogurt in taste. While that threw us off our game for a few minutes, we soon realized, after digging into our lunch, that the drink went perfectly with our gyros! And the mint (suggested by our waiter) was a great idea. We both ordered the lamb gyros sandwich. I think they offer chicken gyros, too. [Note to Gyros House - you really need to get a web site up with your menu on it. Let people know the great dishes you offer.] The sandwich is a monster. Someone in another review complained it was full of lettuce. Yeah, it has a lot of lettuce, but it also has a lot of meat! It was filled with meat! I can eat a lot of gyros, but I wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to finish it. The Tadziki sauce was wonderful! How anyone could think it might be mayonnaise-based is beyond me. The owner came by a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying our food. This wasn't intrusive, by the way. We both could tell that he felt tremendous pride in the food the restaurant was serving. And we could see why. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the chips. We ordered a small bowl of chips (fench fries). They are cut like what we'd call American fries and they were so good! And such a big order! I saw another table that had ordered the large size and it was huge! We were happy we'd ordered the small size, as it was perfect for the two of us, allowing us each to get our fill of fries, which went perfectly with the gyros, of course. Neither of us had any room for dessert, unfortunately. But Gyros House also does take out! (Hooray!). So we ordered 2 baklava to take home with us. We ate them later in the day and the baklava was simply superb! Yum! Will we be back? You better believe it! We are anxious to try them out for dinner! Thank you, Gyros House, for a very nice experience!
(5)Joseph H.
The namesake Gyros are fantastic. The thing to order is a Lamb Gyro, spicy, and with or without feta to your preference. I've been here over a dozen times and the food is consistent, the service is quick, and the price is a steal. This is one of the best places for a dine-out lunch in Beaverton, if not the best.
(5)Don D.
Great Lunch idea if you're in the area. Awesome fresh food, fantastic customer service and fair prices. Just started working in the area, and this will become a main stay for sure. As everyone else said, add the spicy garlic sauce and feta; you can't go wrong.
(4)Zafor K.
Foods are delicious and yummy specially the lamb kebab.
(4)Eve P.
Always awesome gyros and humus plates- excellent, friendly service
(5)Heather R.
The owners of this establishment are super people!
(5)Johnny T.
HUGE gyro. Very tasty. This place is a gem. I was not impressed with the fries tho.
(5)Dale N.
My favorite and only place for a gyro lamb sandwich! Please, visit and eat. You will certainly enjoy.
(5)Teresa P.
The gyros are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not skip the spicy garlic sauce! They are large and soooooo good.
(4)Kamal B.
I went here with my friends during lunchtime. I tried the Chicken Gyro and i loved it. Friends tried the Lamb Gyro and they loved it as well. The sandwiches are quite big and fills you up pretty good. It is affordable. I highly recommend it. I will be back again.
(5)L L.
Gyro House is delicious! Great place to stop for an affordable, quality lunch. Also, the staff is great. Very attentive and entertaining!
(5)Mike C.
Always fresh, always delicious, gracious hosts greet you with a smile. Can't remember when I've had gyros this good. For a real treat after your main course try the baklava and turkish coffee. Best baklava ever. I'm so happy they are here, living in the burbs often means culunary mediocrity, but Gyro House stands out. Sooo much better than the other gyro/fish fry/deli place on the other side of highway 26. The owners always make you feel welcome. I'm loyally hooked, or maybe I'm addicted. Either way, I'm coming back again and again.
(5)Kathy D.
Read Yelp reviews and spot on. Food was good home cooked fare. Loved it and the food made me smile with every bite. My mom and I, early Mother's Day, split the lamb gyro and the vegetarian plate. We both brought home part of our split gyro. We ordered baklava to go. Just as others had said, not too sweet and very good. I can't wait until my next visit. Yummm: lamb gyro, falafel, meat pie, Greek salad, hummus, spicy garlic sauce. Grape leaves, never was a fan. Go...EAT, ENJOY!!!
(5)Jill W.
Independent restaurants, take note. THIS is how it's done. Great food, not an overwhelmingly large menu (although plenty of variety) and a sincere, pleasant and personable vibe from the owner. These people like what they do, and they do it well. -We will be regulars.
(5)Josie V.
best damn fallafel ever!
(5)deep r.
Great food!! Great prices!! I tried the Lamb Gyro plate, it was a huge portion..unfortunately could not polish off the plate :( ...can't wait to go back!!!!
(5)M O.
Visited this place due to all the great Yelp reviews...and I am so glad I did! We started off with the pita and hummus for an appetizer. The pita bread was so soft and chewy and the hummus was like none that I've ever had before (more creamy and flavorful). The combo was addicting! I had a chicken gyro and my boyfriend had the gyro meat gyro. The chicken one I ordered was HUGE. We also ordered fries to share and that was unnecessary since we were stuffed from our gyros and appetizer. I took a baklava home too as well and that was sweet, nutty, and flaky as it should be. Service was great too, the tall fellow at the counter was also our waiter (family owned business) and he was incredibly nice and patiently answered all of our first-timer questions. We are not from the Portland area, but will definitely be back next time we are in town! Keep in mind this is more of a hole-in-the-wall, casual place so if you're looking for ambience, you should probably go elsewhere (but if you do, you'll be missing out on the tastiness!).
(5)John T.
Just had a Gyro Lamb sandwich. I think they put a ton of meat in there, I almost had to eat it with a fork it was so stuffed! This is a little farther than the Daphne's Greek cafe that was in a stone's throw of my office, but it was well worth the short drive.
(5)larry m.
Found Gyro through Yelp and totally love it. Chicken kabob plate with rice (special seasoning) and salad was fantastic. I could only eat about half the serving. I look forward to trying other fresh made items. The owners and staff are very friendly and want to be sure you like the food. Try it, you will be glad you did.
(5)Clint M.
My wife and I decided to try this place out after reading some reviews on Yelp. We are always in search of the ultimate gyro... Ok, so the spicy garlic sauce is really good, but different than what we are used to on a gyro. We actually preferred dipping the fries in it instead (Fries were excellent) but on the gyro it was a little overpowering with loads of raw garlic. We thought the pita was very good. There were pickles on the gyro which was a first for both of us, and not what we would think would be on a traditional (americanized) gyro. We both got the lamb version which was absolutely loaded with meat, and I mean loaded, but we are not complaining. The flavor of the meat was very good. We thought there could be a little more Tzatziki which is really our only complaint. Compared to some of the other places we have been the service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. It was an excellent gyro and we will be going back for sure, but our search for the ultimate gyro continues...
(4)Catherine D.
Cheap, Delicious, Huge quantity... what else can you ask for? Well maybe service... anyway, this review is for their lamb gyro. It's not that I'm not adventurous... it's just... everytime I go there, I have to get the lamb gyro. If I get the lamb gyro, I won't want to get anything else since that is satisfactory enough. Okay... maybe I should say the falafel is good also... at least I managed to distract myself a bit to order the falafel before I decided that nope.. just the lamb gyro for me...
(5)Christine G.
This place is ALWAYS awesome. Everyone is so friendly and the food is consistently good. We drive out of our way just for their restaurant. The owner is the sweetest person and always thanks us for coming in!
(5)Charles D.
What a great place to eat! This wonderful family restaurant serves the best Greek food in the Portland metro area. The service is exquisite with lots of help for every thing you could need. I have had lunch twice and I had them cater a family gathering for 25 and all three times the only thing better than the service was the food and the FOOD WAS GREAT!!
(5)AK A.
Great service, great food. First time I went there was a couple of weeks ago, what an amazing chicken Gyro. Took my friend last night and we ordered the stuffed grapes leaves and eggplant along with the chicken gyro! Chicken was a little saltier than the last time, but was still delicious! My only recommendation to the owners would be to hold back on the salt on the meat! We finished with the turkish coffee and Baklava! Very yummy, recommend highly!
(5)Paula N.
The folks who own this place are absolutely wonderful and treat you like an honored guest! The food is excellent, great portions, homemade sweets...I highly recommend the Baklava...and superb Turkish coffee...a tucked away jewel in Hillsboro!
(5)Alanna m.
Awesome food! Great service and very good prices! Wish they served beer or wine but other than that it was perfect! It was a nice day when we went so we sat outside. Gyros are stuffed with meat and yummy veggies. Stuffed grape leaves were the best I've had! We will be back!

This place never lets you down. Always great food, and at a reasonable price. You always get your monies worth. The spicy garlic sauce is the greatest thing ever. The Lamb is cooked and seasoned to perfection. Check this joint out for sure!

the bomb!
(5)Erica S.
The food was awesome and the service was even more spectacular. Best customer experience I have ever had, you have to check this place out!
(5)Irene C.
Wow, this place is amazing. The people who work here are friendly and it makes the food taste even better. I got introduced to this place through a friend and ever since, I have been back more times than I can remember. The quality of ingredients are fresh, the portions are awesome and you definitely get your moneys worth here at Gyro House. I would recommend the Gyro Lamb, it is to die for.
(5)Vu N.
the BIGGEST gyro I have ever had! and tasty too. a moist and soft pita overflown with slices of lamb, tomatoes, and lettuce. There is an open kitchen and you can see the meat being roasted on vertical spits. I also had a lentil soup that was quite flavorful. Prices are great and services friendly. Overall a great place for lunch. Come early as it can pack up easily.
(4)Chris C.
I love Gyro House. The Gyros are giant and piled on with meat, the service is attentive, and the flavors are great. Make sure to get there early or later in lunch, as the crowd can get large at Noon.
(5)G. Y.
I have eaten here twice now, and it was excellent both times. The gyros are enormous, but the price is not. I have tried several gyro places, and this is by far the best! The owner is really friendly, he comes to your table several times to make sure everything is to your liking. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't regret it!
(5)Jason M.
I have been waiting on this place to open and just got to visit it for the first time today and it was excellent! First of all, you can see the gyro spit as you walk in the door...this is how gyro meat is supposed to be, shaved. The service was great, the guys working there are extremely nice and happy to see satisfied customers. Here's a run down of the meal: Appetizer - Stuffed Grape Leaves - very tasty Also, the waiter brought us a sample of the hummus to try...it was superb! On to the Lamb Gryo...the seasoning is spot on and the meat is shaved. They offer a spicy garlic sauce...I recommend it. They gyro was HUGE and delicious! Sorry Mad Greek, but you're gyros just got beat in Hillsboro. Potato Chips/Fries - They look like pickles and aren't anything fancy, but they are really good. All in all...I'll be a regular at this joint!
(5)Vinay C.
Best gyros anywhere. Period. And I KNOW my gyros. Flavorful, substantial, spicy garlic sauce, lamb....wow, these folks cant be beat. I'm so lucky. The owners are friiendly, hard workin folk. The place is clean, bright, buzzing with activity....JUST TOO GOOD.
(5)Martha O.
Went to Gyro House Mediterrnean Grill for the first time. The food was amazing. The service as okay. The server forgot about us a couple of times and they helped the people they sat after us first, but other than that they were friendly. They are planning to expand which I think will help the serving staff not be so overwhelmed. The food is so worth the issues. Going back for lunch today:)
(4)Brian P.
You know it is good when you have to wait for a table on Saturday at 2 PM. Awesome food, friendly staff, what more could you ask for?
(5)Jill B.
We love love love this p,ace!!!!! Friendly too!!!!
(5)Ben H.
Best gyro I have ever had. Fantastic staff and extra tasty desert!
(5)Patti W.
My husband and I visited here for the first time tonight, and we will be going back soon! We started with the hummus which was super creamy and the pita bread that comes with it is awesome!! We each had a gyro (chicken for him and lamb for me)- they were both SO good, we couldn't stop eating, even though they were HUGE! The service was great- defiantly 5 stars!
(5)Dennis C.
First time here and the Gyro Lamb is HUGE well worth the $6! Good stuff!!! Spicy Gralic Sauce is awesome!
(5)Shawn T.
Great food, tried the hummus with pita bread and a lamb gyro and both were excellent with the spicy garlic sauce. Prices were fair and the staff and owners are always friendly. Very slight drawback is some of the waiters have trouble understanding you.
(5)Samantha P.
Amazing food with amazing service. Lots of food at a great price. We come in about once a week, more if we have the time. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Authentic Greek food at a reasonable price.
(5)Daniel B.
Simply amazing meats, the best gyro I've EVER had... Now they do use pre-packed bread and some of their dishes such as the cheese pie are not very good but this is absolutely incredible otherwise.
(4)Colleen J.
The gyros are HUGE, delicious, and cheap. The employees are great...but make sure you go hungry!
(4)Courtney B.
We LOVE the Gyro House! It is amazingly delicious. Huge, yummy, gyros. Authentic feel. The service is AMAZING, they are so kind. I would recommend this place to anyone, any day!!!! Mmmmmm! The pastries and desserts are also very, very good!
(5)Jeff R.
We couldn't decide what to eat but I was craving hummas, so we followed the Yelp reviews to this place since its fairly close to home. We were not disappointed! We were greeted with a clean and well decorated dining area. After seating ourselves and looking over the menu for a couple minutes our server came over and took our order. We started with the hummas plate app and ordered extra pita bread with it. It was very fresh, creamy and flavorful, exactly what I was looking for. The bread was fresh, warm and tasty. I ordered the lamb Gyro sandwich with spicy garlic sauce and my wife ordered the same thing with the taziki sauce. Both were packed full of fresh veggies and more meat than I was expecting. Definately a huge Gyro. I highly recommend the spicy garlic sauce on it, full of flavor and just a bit of heat to it. Excellent! My wifes was also excellent, though I think mine was better. :) Out the door we had an app, two Gyro's and two drinks for just over $20 and we were stuffed. Wife couldn't finish her sandwich, I forced mine down because it was THAT good! I'm only holding off on the 5th star because we were freezing the whole time we ate, everytime the dront door opens you feel like you're in the arctic. A small barrier or and tap or two on the thermostat would add that last star. Everything was amazing though and we are sure to become regulars.
(4)Alice H.
Great big gyros, reasonable prices, good service, goot atmosphere with lots of seating.
(5)James M.
Wife and I just took the kids for dinner. It was outstanding food. The dolmas were hand rolled and just perfect. The pita bread cooked to order and was piping hot. My chicken gyro was fantastic. The wife got a veggie plate and the falafel was mind blowing. I suggest going here for sure
(4)Sabrina N.
The food is absolutely incredible. Huge portions, quality ingredients, low price. And AWESOME customer service. Love love love it.
(5)Joshua B.
No other Chicken Gyro can compare to this place. It is amazing! The taste is savory and the chicken is juicy. If you like gyro sandwiches, you will compare every one you eat going forward to that of the Gyro House Mediterranean Grill. They are always busy but quick. They care about their customers and show a genuine concern for how their customers feel. I eat there regularly and I will continue to go back time and time again. As some of the other reviews have mentioned, it is worth a drive if you are craving the style of food. Make an effort to eat at Gyro House Mediterranean Grill soon and I guarantee you will be impressed.
(5)Jessica S.
This place has such great food, especially for the price. The service used to be great, but it's definitely gone downhill ever since they expanded. We won't be going back and dining in, but we'll still be getting take-out for sure. The gyros are huge and super tasty. Do yourself a favor and get the spicy garlic sauce.
(4)Mary B.
Just reading through some of these reviews tonight, I would like to correct what appears to be a somewhat common misconception among some of the reviewers. This restaurant is NOT GREEK - okay? They serve food very typical of Lebanon-Syria-Jordan-Palestine: in other words, a large section of the Levant. Yes, a few favorite dishes of mine are missing, but the owners know their audience (many of whom are clueless Americans) and serve what they know they can sell. What they serve, however, is sublime. They had me with the sour cherry/jallab drinks and the knaffea, but there is not one bad item on this menu. Divine mezze. Awesome shwarma. Fluffy falafel. Hummus and baba ghanouj so good you want to bathe in it. Lovely food, friendly staff and cooks, you can't go wrong. However, if you want Greek, put that into the Yelp search engine and you will come up with something entirely different. Thank you. I feel better now.
(5)Litsa D.
I love their food! I have found the service to be a bit curt but efficient. I'm willing to overlook the curt because the food is so good!
(5)Schearon S.
There aren't many restaurants I would go out of my way on a busy day to visit, but this place is one them. Their gyro sandwhiches and pizza's are awesome. This place has some of the best gyros in town and I have tried a lot of them. Not only that I am impressed with their friendliness. They always assist me with carrying my larger orders to my car and have my food ready to go within a short period of time. I'll keep driving 45 minutes to eat gyros here because it's worth the drive. The portions a every large and the food is delicious.
(5)Bree C.
I called in my order on the drive over and handed to me was a giant ball of scented sin.The meat was tender and seasoned very well, with lots of meat. It was a 12 minute drive each way on a 30 minute lunch break. I parked next to a playground and felt a little guilty when a group of children spied me inhaling my giant gyro in my car on my remaining 6 minutes, girly rock screaming from my speakers, tzaziki dripping down my chin. All four stared,alienated, at me pigging out.Totally worth it.
(4)Chelsea M.
My goodness this place is dangerous! Watch out for the spicey garlic sauce which I want to put on everything! SO GOOD! And any place that puts pickles on something, I automatically give a bonus star! (Joking, but it certainly did not hurt their rating). I usually get the chicken gyro with spicey garlic sauce and feta. It is huge but I somehow always manage to find room for one more bite of that deliciously warm pita and wonderful flavor (and the pickles). I have had the lamb gyro and it was really good as well, I just prefer the chicken. Fries are also really good, but dangerous so I usually try and resist ordering them. Notes: I ONLY get take-out here, I probably would not eat at the restaurant because it just is kind of out of my way to stay. I know that sounds weird but the parking lot is small, and gyro's to me are such street food that it would seem weird to sit down and enjoy them.
(4)Torri S.
Amazing! ! The reviews are spot on. Excellent service super hot flavorful food! The spicy garlic sauce is to die for! You just can't beat the price with double portions of food on every order! We will be coming back often, also going to try the other local in Portland!! This is truly a 5 star restaurant :)
(5)Tiffany N.
Absolutely amazing every time. Food is very fresh, delicious and authentic. Best hummus I've ever tasted. I enjoy stopping here each time I'm in town.
(5)Sean M.
Call your order ahead for pickup.
(4)Tu T.
Affordable, Big Portions, DELICIOUS FOOD, and FAST service! I normally just get a hummus plate, maybe hummus and lamb to start of a group meal, then a lamb gyro which i'm never able to finish! Haven't tried much of the menu, but the things I have tried are DELICIOUS!!! I would recommend this place for everyone!!!
(5)Singaravelan V.
I tried a couple of dishes here over multiple visits. The best deal is the Falafel or the Gyro sandwich for $6. Their sandwiches are huge and the Falafel is good but the chicken Shawarma doesnt have much of a flavor like other mediterranean places and tastes very bland. The garlic sauce is a nice addition to the sandwiches. I have also tried their Chicken Kabobs and they are ok not very impressive. I have had better Kabobs at other mediterranean places in portland. The biggest gripe is their bad service and their prices are quite expensive for the Kabob and other platter dishes. The sandwiches are the best bet here and cheap. Apart from the sandwiches, its quite expensive for mediocre food. Service is also not so great.
(2)Chris Y.
The lamb gyro is pretty bomb. The portions are pretty big and all for $5 you can't go wrong with that. It's also close to my house and definitely will be back!
(4)Mish M.
There's been a hole in my foodie heart since I moved this past summer. I'm just a bit too far south to frequent Mad Greek Deli as much as I used to. I heard about this place, and was in to try it within 24 hours. And it was gooooooooooood. I ordered the vegetarian plate - hummus and pita, dolma, falafel ball, greek salad, and your choice of spinach, meat or cheese pie (I chose spinach). I also ordered a medium order of the potato rounds with the garlic sauce and feta - we'll call them fries for today. My dinner was pretty fantastic. I'm a falafel fanatic, and I wasn't disapointed. Moist and perfectly seasoned. The hummus was super creamy, the dolma was yummy, and the greek salad had just the right amount of dressing. I wasn't psyched about the spinach pie, but it wasn't bad. And the fries? YUM! The sauce and feta definitely added to the amazingness - I wouldn't get them without those extras. Husband wasn't doing backflips over his dinner, but I told him it didn't sound like his thing by the description of the dish. It's always good to try new things though, right? The service was awesome; it's so obvious that it's a family restaurant and each person really cares about the place. I can't wait to go back and try their GINORMOUS gyros on the cheap. Tip: they apparently don't bring your bill, just cruise up to the register and tell them your table number.
(4)Sean S.
I love this place. Taste, value, service, and atmosphere is just what you want in a Gyro House. I fed 6 adults for $100. We were all stuffed and loved every bite.
(5)Steve W.
It's called Gyro House. You come here for the Gyro. You do not come here for the ambiance, the side dishes, or the waitstaff (owner is nice). Nope, you order over the phone, grab the gyro, take it home, and stuff your cakehole with this flavorful beast. And then you curse the scale.
(4)Thoms P.
This is my all time favorite place. I moved here from New York 5 years ago and was having difficulty finding a gyro I enjoyed. I was referred to Gyro House by my girlfriend who us now my fiancé, which is only one of the many reasons I love her, and have been getting a gyro from there every Saturday since for about 3 yrs. Everything about there gyro witch I get with there spicy sauce is delicious but really like the pickles they have and I always ask for extra and they also make it just the way I want. I have never had a bad experience and again I go there every Saturday around 200pm for 3 years so that should same something for a review. Try this place and you will love it!!!!!!! ENJOY
(5)Neil J.
This place is where you want to be. If I could, I would set up shop from inside the Gyro House and eat there for every meal. Their service and food is unmatched in the city of Beaverton (for any type of restaurant). One thing to note, I have been to Greece and have had authentic Gyros and the Gyros at the Gyro House match or surpass my experience in Greece. If you haven't been here for lunch, take your co-workers, you will not be disappointed!
(5)Dusty B.
The food here was just alright. They ran out of chicken for my chicken gyro which I was really looking forward to since it was my first time. I ended up with a mixture of lamb and chicken in my gyro and no feta even though I specifically requested feta which is an extra 50 cents. The gyro was nothing special but the pricing was decent at $5.99 for a gyro. Probably would not come here again.
(2)Kelly S.
I would come here for the delicious hummus alone, but alas it's a little out of my way for regular visits. I do have to say it's always pretty packed during the lunch hour, but I never had trouble finding a seat. The portions are large and very well priced.
(5)Matt G.
Every time I visit Portland I make my girlfriend bring me here. The food is amazing. The portions are huge. The staff is always friendly. A must visit for a good gyro!
(5)Malynda W.
One of our favorite restaurants! They have the best lamb gyros and hummus EVER! Not to mention affordable prices and excellent service.
(5)Erica J.
I used to really like going to this place, the food is really good. It just seems like every time we go there the service gets worse and worse, and then the last time we went there they raised their prices yet again. It is now $7.99 for the lamp gyro, and $8.99 for the Hummus Bi-Lahmeh, which they both used to be $5.99. The food is still great, but it is hard to come back every time.
(3)Jerry C.
Decided to give this place a try because there are SO MANY GREAT REVIEWS!!! Needless to say, it did not live up to the hype, in my opinion. Waiters seemed nice but VERY eager to get our order taken. Within the first five minutes of sitting down, we placed our drink orders. Not even a minute after that, we were asked by all three of the other waiters if we were ready to order. Seemed like there's a lack of communication amongst servers. But honestly, it's a small enough restaurant to where each server should be able to SEE that we had already been helped. Aside from the service being a bit awkward, the food was just okay. Salad was bland, which it's salad, so that's easily forgiven. I had the lamb with basmati rice, which had great flavor. That was the only thing I enjoyed other than the French fries with spicy garlic sauce. But come on, is it really hard to fry potatoes and throw some sauce on it? All in all, I don't think I'd ever return simply because the food is overpriced (except for the gyros of course) for what it is. Also, I wouldn't recommend trying the yogurt drink. It is definitely a cultural thing and an acquired taste. I got it just for the experience, and it just tasted like liquid cheese. SALTY liquid cheese mixed with sour cream. :p
(2)Pat M.
I have to admit that my all-time favorite gyro lives at Akropolis in Lafayette, IN. Just laying my cards on the table. With that being said, I'm happy to announce that here we have a contender. The tzatziki was not just sour cream, the meat was flavored well and the pita was perfect. My wife and I also split the hummus. I couldn't find a single thing wrong. The food, however, was really only half of the charm. Zuhair (I believe) and his staff provided a clean and ultra-friendly place to enjoy some Mediterranean food. If you're near Beaverton and craving a good dining experience that is timely, friendly and made with care, give it a shot!
(4)Joyce L.
Hands down on the Greek salad w/grilled chicken. It is not often, restaurants will serve a salad with seasoned chicken. It is the same chicken used in the gyros. I expected a small salad but it was more than I can handle. The salad was fairly large. I ended up taking half of it home. I cannot go in the Gyro House without getting their hummus and flat bread. The hummus is out of this world (rich in flavor and smooth). I agree with other Yelperss, the service is a bit disorganized but the people are very friendly.
(5)Victor D.
Probably the best place in the area in not Portland for terrific middle eastern food. Amazing appetizers and entries, generous portions, and an outgoing staff makes every meal delightful. And make sure to try the Turkish coffee!
(5)Phil P.
Wow, what a meal at a great price, nice staff and pleasant atmosphere ! The lamb gyro was tender and very flavorful ,full of meat and fresh veggies.
(5)Erin C.
Best falafel I've ever had. These gyros will be one of the more delicious things you've eaten, I promise...the flavors are intense and wonderful. The folks that work here are friendly, vivacious, and remember you. They make you feel like you're their own personal pals. On Saturdays they do this goat cheese honey dessert...I was a little skeptical, but the owner talked me into it. TRY IT. It was beautiful, creamy, mild, and not at all what I expected. Although the sandwiches are very affordable considering their quality and size (even with the extra upgrades like spicy garlic sauce and feta), I have yet to try their platters due to their prices. Like 12-16 bucks for a plate...that's a bit steep for me for a place that casual, so I stick with the pita-cradled piles of goodness. I will be sad when we move to Clackamas next month and have to find a new gyro place. Stop reading this and go!
(5)Chelsie O.
This place is amazing! The owner is so friendly and the staff is more than accommodating. It is impeccably clean and the food (the most important part) is delicious. The portions are very large and everything is full of flavor. I would come here every day if I could!
(5)Kathryn W.
I had the great pleasure of eating at this restaurant tonight. I tasted the hummus, baba ganouj, gyro meat, lamb skewer and the falafel. They were absolutely amazing and I will definitely go back. The service was also wonderful. Every service person we spoke with was friendly, efficient, and fast. And the owners walked around checking to see if everything was OK. We were very pleased to say that everything was marvelous! And, as if great food and great service was enough, the prices are very reasonable. As it is only about 1.5 miles from my home, I expect to be there often. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Jaben C.
This is the best Mediterranean food that I have found west of the river. The spicy garlic sauce is excellent and both the lamb and chicken are juicy and wonderful. My problem is with the employees. We went in for lunch with a larger group from work and asked if we could move a couple of tables together and they said no. We could move tables in the very back right by the kitchen area, but not anywhere else. Then they prompty ignored us. I had to flag down a waiter to get someone to take our order. Then they somewhat cleared the table (some people yes, other no), and ignored us more... We had to ask for the check and then go pay at the front. I will be back for the food, but I will not recommend this place.
(1)Nate B.
Exceptionally delicious. Fresh brick oven baked bread was yummy and highly satisfying. Gyros were HUGE - very generous portions. Excellent service as well. Extremely attentive wait staff. The owner (don't know his name) is definitely a social, culinary, and logistical magician. Nice clean place, good service, yummy food. Well done, Gyro House. I'll be back.
(4)Patricia V.
Had a lovely lunch with friends today. We were graciously welcomed by owner Zuher who is also very generous! We come here regularly. The food is fabulous, portions are large and very reasonably priced.
(5)Alisha K.
Absolutely LOVE the garlic sauce and feta cheese mix on both the fries and my chicken gyro!! Must try their homemade pita bread!! Fluffy and fresh from the oven!! Great customer service...made me feel like I was at home!!
(5)Jerry L.
Great lamb gyro, babaganoush, and bread so fresh and hot from the oven. A real family affair! Thanks Omar and your Dad.
(5)Andy B.
Love coming here for lunch. As many other reviews note, the gyros are huge and delicious. Be sure to get yours with the garlic and feta that costs $.50 more. The new hummus plate is also super good Finally, the service is efficient and friendly. Especially the big dude with the mustache, he saw how I attacked that shit and came over with an extra couple napkins and some friendly ribbing.
(4)Scott J.
My wife and I agreed this was the best Gyro we've ever had. Great tasting food, a (very) generous portion size, and a good price. I highly recommend the Gyro House!
(5)Tara M.
I live in the neighborhood, and have been here several times. It's always the same story - good food and horrible service. If I could rate the food and service separately, I would give the food four stars (it really is very good) and the service a negative four stars (it is - consistently - so very, very poor). This afternoon I talked my boyfriend into heading to The Gyro House for lunch. Today's experience was no different. The disappointing service started as soon as we walked through the door. We stepped in and a middle aged man behind the register directed us to table 12, which wouldn't have been an issue expect there was not a table labeled number 12. Neither the available servers nor the man running this show took the time to point out the proper table. Instead, all we heard was, "Table 12" repeated in an increasingly - "Table 12" - annoyed tone from behind the register. We ordered two sodas, a medium fry, and two gyro pizzas (think a personal pizza). The server, who had taken our order, slammed the sodas down on the table. The fries were dropped off without eye contact or any other kind of acknowledgement from a second server. By the time we had polished off the fries, we were ready for refills on our sodas. The second server stopped by our table to pick up the empty fry container, again without interacting or acknowledging us, and I had to stop him as he was walking away to ask for refills on our sodas. Luckily, we received the refills, but the trade off was that we were left with the fry container. The gyro pizzas arrived and did not disappoint. I had the opportunity to finish one piece (essentially 1/8th of the personal sized pizza), and our original server asked if we wanted boxes. We would eventually want boxes, but considering our food had just arrived - it felt as though we were not so subtlety being asked to leave. From that point on, we were ignored. After waiting at the table long after we were done eating, I finally walked up to the register to ask for boxes. The middle aged man at the register nearly walked into me as he seemingly went out of his way not to talk to or acknowledge me. As my boyfriend put it - this was the most uncomfortable dinning experience we have ever had. I wish that this was an isolated incident. Sadly, I have yet to receive anything that even resembles decent customer service.
(1)Deon F.
Nice resturant on the inside, and very cool that the make their own pita and have pizza made in the fire roasted oven! We tried the traditional lamb Gyro, it was pretty large which was great! Therefore of you decide to order fries def go w/a small order! We'll be back for sure to try some dinner plates! So glad to have a good resturant near by!
(4)Jim M.
Great place for lunch. Fast service, great price. I had a lamb gyro, and it was the best I've ever had. The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned.
(5)Tina D.
Absolutely the rudest, most arrogant, chauvinistic staff/mngr/owner I have experienced in over 15yrs! The bathroom door, didn't lock, one of the employees walked in on me! Plus, they had their mop & mop bucket in the bathroom, AND there was dirty water in it. ewwwww! After i left a tip, and handed over my receipt I asked for a copy and who I presume was either the owner/mngr said, "it's to late" um, I work for a bank and no it is not. I asked him to write it down and he thru a order ticket at me! I threw the to go menu on the counter and walked out! I just got off the phone w/my bank filing a dispute that I REFUSE to pay them a tip for all of the BS I had to deal with today! What's even sadder, the food was great, however.....I will NEVER go to this establishment again!! I will continue to go to Al Amir's all the way downtown. When this is very close to our home in the Orenco area. Believe that I will share my experience with everyone I know or work with. This is 2014, and you live in America. Home of the free. Woman are equals in this country. We are not second rate citizens as they are in your homeland. Wake up.
(1)Katie M.
First time at gyro house. Very impressed with the lamb gyro. It was massive and the lamb was so tender. Highly recommend getting this if you've never had Greek food. Also the kafta was wonderfully spiced. I will for sure be going back!
(5)Becca J.
I've been here a few times, and this place is awesome for lunch. It's quick, it's delicious, it's inexpensive, and they give you a TON of food. I've tried the lamb gyro and the hummus platter, and both are fabulous. I'm not a huge person, and that giant gyro is so delicious that it is 95% gone before I start thinking "what have I done?! this is too much food for me to eat at once!" but then I finish it, and I'm oh so happy. This restaurant is easy to look over, but it is worth checking out.
(5)Erika E.
I absolutely love Gyro House! They are amazingly kind and friendly people. You can tell they are dedicated to their craft by the quality results. Delicious every time we dine here. The lamb is great and the fresh hummus is to die for!
(5)Amy L.
Love to come here for lunch. Their gyro sandwiches are huge and I love their domas very tasty. I always get the appetizer sampler with enough leftover for dinner or lunch next day. Food is very fresh and atmosphere very casual. Love their desserts my favorite is the baklava. Not too soggy and perfectly flaky. Owner and servers very kind. The now offer Lebanese pizza yum!
(5)Praveen J.
Awesome food. Went there with the team. Good hummus. The vegetarian falafel was huge. The rose drink was tasty!!! Highly recommend it. Parking wasn't a problem. Food was very affordable. Seating was fast and comfortable.
(5)Casie G.
I have been coming here since they opened with my husband and our friends. I love it!! I especially love their hummus!!! It's amazing!!! I order it without oil.I wish they were closer to us in SW Portland!!!
(5)Dae Y.
$5 cash for a plate full of edible art. the guy really takes pride in the way he serves his gyros. i had to hoof it over there quickly to make it before the 5pm shutdown time. i think i was the 2nd to last or 3rd to last customer he served. got a can of coke. and got an order of fries. the lamb and beef gyro really is delicious. my wife and i split it and it was perfectly what we needed. this one girl in front of me had to put her gyro down on the counter to get her money out and one of the falafel puffs rolled out with some of the sauce too. the guy was not going to have that happen to this gyro, so as she was getting her money out, he gabbed up the entire plate, nudged the falafel ball back into the gyro, re-plated the whole thing, and re-sauced it to get it back to it's beautiful original state. that's quality!!
(5)Victoria T.
This is my favorite place to eat, I crave them all the time. If you want amazing Greek food served by a friendly staff then this is the place for you. The lamb gyros cannot be beat, and I could drink the spicy garlic sauce by itself. The restaurant is clean and spacious but always busy for the dinner hour so be prepared. If you go on a Saturday night ask for the special dessert the owner's mother makes, amazing! A light, fluffy goat cheese cream with honey wrapped in a pasty of some sort. The specialty drinks are really good, the Jallab is my personal favorite.

My husband and I just visited this place for the first time this weekend with some friends. All of us were in awe with how great the service and the food was. It was hands down the best food of this type that we have had. The wait staff as well as the owner were very attentive, always coming by and removing the empty dishes from the table as soon as possible and none of them seem to be okay with anyone leaving unsatisfied. They were awesome. The food was amazing, my husband is from the middle east and he said that it was the closest thing to being back home, and we tried just about everything. Some of us had gyros, which are huge, they fill up the entire plate and you usually have to take fork to them just to be able to pick it up. I had the falafel sandwich and it was amazing! Some of the freshest, most moist falafel I have ever had. The bread was hot and fresh including the ones served with the appetizers, and the deserts are amazingly delicious with a nice cup of turkish coffee. The owner and staff all made it feel like we were just sitting around one of my husband's family members homes, having some amazing food and good company. Couldn't ask for a better more inviting place to enjoy a yummy meal.

Excellent food! We had: lentil soup (with a hint of tomatoes - just the right thickness, with a lemon on the side - delicious!), hummus with oven-baked spongy, yeast breads (pita?), lamb gyros and a kabob combo plate with a salad. All these were simply GREAT! The service is good and super friendly. The dining area is bright, very modern looking with Middle Eastern accents. The whole family loved the food! We've been looking for a good, not overpriced Middle Eastern food in the Hillsboro/Beaverton area and this can't be beaten! Coming from Seattle, this is the best we've had between Seattle and Portland. We will be back every week!

Ok, so I'm originally a New England boy and have no idea how to say "gyro." Growing up I had a lot of bad gyros and thought that they were meh. Word-of-mouth brought me to this place and I was blown away! It was easy to find and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We got baba ghanouj as an appetizer and it was PHENOMENAL! It was fresh, flavorful, and very light. It was much better than the concrete that I was served in Boston. I then sipped my Jallab syrup drink which was a magical, fruity, flowery sweet drink. The pine nuts really helped cut down the sweetness of the drink. Lastly, I had the gyro lamb plate with the spicy garlic sauce that came highly recommended on Yelp. The first bite of meat instantly teleported me to Heaven! The beef/lamb hybrid was a wonderful piece of meat that nearly brought tears to my eyes. How could meat this good be available to a mere mortal such as myself? The portions were pretty hefty so I had to sheepishly ask for a to-go box. I also got some baklava for home and it was really tasty and not too sweet. Overall, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and a standing ovation!

I really want to love this place. I have been back several more times they tempt me with being so good one time and the next the food being spoiled and not consistent in quality. The people that work there are a little on the rude side as well. We are moving and unfortunately I don't think this is a place I will miss.
(2)Austin S.
The lamb gyro is the best thing ever, and it's really cheap for lunch. I really like the spicy garlic sauce with it. They also have excellent hummus. Be warned, it is loud and busy - still worth it though.
(5)Julie M.
Got take-out a few times here. I always get the falafel sandwich with hummus and boyfriend gets the lamb gyro with spicy garlic sauce. Learned to order the spicy garlic sauce on the side because it's really strong and they put a lot on it. The hummus is amazing. This place is always busy and for good reason. This has become one I our favorite places in the Portland area.
(5)Sudipto G.
Excellent food, I've been there twice, tried the Chicken Gyro and the kebab plate, both have been excellent, and did I mention the HUGE amount of food they serve! Only downside is I never have any place left for their tempting desserts.
(5)Misti J.
The food is delicious. The service on the other hand left much to be desired. Our server kept forgetting to bring us things we asked for (waters, our sodas, more bread etc....). He definitely acted like he didn't want to be there. Next time I think I will order it to go.
(4)Kal C.
My mama told me that after "Grrrrr" my favorite noise to make as a baby was "Mmmmmmmm!" It's still one of my favorite noises to make, but it is reserved for meals like the one I had at Gyro House. This seems like a small, family-run business, and I totally appreciate that. You can see the entire food preparation upon walking in - nothing is hidden. The desserts are all on display, as well. Which makes it hard for the evil dessert-loving demon inside me to resist temptation! We started off with Jallab drinks. I usually get Lebanese Tea, but I felt like something sweet. Jallab is a really sweet drink with a number of flavors, including date and rose water. It's a rare treat. Plus, I love hunting down the floating pine nuts with my straw. We ordered the Hummous Bi-Lahma with extra pita, and it was the best decision I've made in a while. Their lamb is some of the best I've ever had, along with the hummous. I ordered the falafel sandwich and I could hear them preparing my falafel mixture and frying them. They weren't some subpar pre-made mix/balls. My boyfriend ordered the Kabob Combination ($14.99 - the most expensive item on the menu) and it was a TON of food. I tried each type of meat, his rice, and his greek salad. Delicious. The spicy garlic sauce must have been created by the Gods, because I wanted to buy a bucket of it and put it on everything. It was too amazing for words, so "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" will have to suffice. I can't wait until I get my hands on some baba ghanouj, stuffed grape leaves (dolmathes) and their awesome looking baklava. Nomnomnom.
(5)Kelly G.
Go...go now. You will not be disappointed. Lamb Gyro with everything on it-tender, spicy, tangy, soft & just delicious. Chicken Kabob-mouth watering and well seasoned. Killer rice and fresh salad! Falafel-BEST I've ever had. Large and just moist and perfect. The hummus was so smooth and creamy. Tabbouleh was just right. Not dry at all. The sauce on the Gyro & with the Kabob is liquid crack. We are thrilled this is rather close to us & will be back often! Thanks for an amazing dinner!!!
(5)JohnPaul N.
Okay this place has really started to grow on me and I find myself going here more frequently than others. Staff are really friendly and fun and authentic to be around. The Gyros are still huge and very delicious. My favorite is to call in my order about 10min ahead of time then run in and it is ready without any waiting.
(4)Bill F.
Yum Yum, I had a hunger for a Gyro. GPS brought me here. This was the real lamb deal. It was huge, full of goodies and priced more than fair. Staff was pleasant, parking easy. Really this is the 5 guys of gyros. I shall return (many times).
(5)Christy L.
3.5 stars Ate lunch here with friends on a Sunday. We ate: Gyro with spicy garlic sauce: The sauce is AMAZING Greek Salad: This was an ok salad, it had a bit too much feta on it (which was weird since usually places don't put enough feta on the salad) It was good, the restaurant was clean, it just wasn't my favorite greek food that I have had.
(3)Diva A.
Huge portions, cheap prices, incredibly delicious food, beautiful decor. I'm a huge fan. Why 4 stars? Service is shoddy, the two main servers are friendly enough but the others can leave you feeling like you're bothering them if you ask for anything; that includes checking out up front or just getting a refill! DO go for the sides; if you're into spice, get that spicy sauce, and feta on top of EVERYTHING. Potion is HUGE, consider sharing a gyro for even more bang for your buck. I cannot possibly live without their hummus, seriously. I thought Mad Greek was the best, now I know better. Granted I'll go there for those greek fries, but this is where it's at.
(4)Feuy S.
We like to order the Veggie Mezza Platter ($12.95) and a lamb gyro ($5.99) The Veggie Maza Platter is listed in the appetizer section and is supposed to be shared. But if you order it all for yourself, I won't judge. It comes with hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli, grape leaves and falafel. Everything is made fresh and on site. Their baba ganoush is my favorite because it has a faint smokey flavor that really brings out the eggplant. We like meat, so we pair it up with a lamb gyro. It comes with a mountain-sized heap of tender and delicious slices of lamb inside a pita, and all the trimmings (spicy sauce and feta)! If I can eat this everyday for the rest of my life, I'll live a happy and long life. And for the price of ~$20 for two with leftovers, I really can!
(5)Matt R.
Been going there since they opened. Always great food, friendly people and gyros are huge and awesome. Spicy garlic sauce is really good.
(5)My S.
For dinner we stopped here. For about $25 bucks we ordered these items -Baba ghanouj with extra pita -Two Lamb gyro -Baklava They were out of their round cut fried chops. But we had ordered way too much for two people. We had to take home about 3/4 of a Gyro. There was so much lamb in our gyros and the spicy sauce is great! Its not as spicy as I thought it would be (I'm sensitive to spice). I used a fork majority of the time because the gyros were SO huge! This is by far the best Greek restaurant I have ever been too. I will make it a point to drive out here for a meal when we are in Oregon.
(5)Dana S.
Sexist Prick, ignored my answer to the question "is that it?" Three times, instead waiting for my husband to say that is all. While waiting at the counter, a waiter reached in front of me to grab something, and upon leaving the restaurant, he said goodbye to my husband. I've never felt so insulted in my life. I don't know why any sexist asshole would be allowed to work with the public perhaps he is an owner who doesn't often deal with the public but this incident was enough to solidify my decision to NEVER go back, even if the food was tasty. What a fucking douchebag!!!
(1)H M.
I grew up eating shwarma in the middle east. These are the best I have had outside of the middle east. The service needs some work, but the food is excellent and very reasonably priced.
(5)C L.
Gyros! Gyros!! i don't recommend getting their garlic sauce IN it.. get it on the side :) or else i think it's bit too salty. but other than that Gyros!!!! oh and FETA CHEESE!!!
(5)Greg T.
I found this place about 6 months ago and it has been my absolute favorite restaurant ever since. Everyone talks about the Spicy Lamb Gyro and they are right, it is one of my favorites. I work close enough to Gyro House I often pick up a Spicy Lamb Gyro during my lunch hour. When I come here on the weekend with my wife, I usually get the Iskender Plate, the Chicken Shawarma Plate with the spicy garlic sauce, or the Combo Kabob Combination. Of all of the dishes I have tried so far these are my three favorites.
(5)Jake D.
Had the chicken shawarma and it was really good. We'll definately be back again.
(4)Dylan S.
I have been going to Gyro House since they opened and they are an amazing place to eat. The food is incredible, there's a great atmosphere, they're quick, and the staff is friendly. I recommend this place to all my friends. Best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Five stars all the way!
(5)Jeff B.
The chicken or lamb gyros are quite tasty and are so large you must eat some of the meat in order to get the sandwich in your mouth and I have been told on numerous occasions that I have a big mouth! I have only tried the gyros since the other dishes are approx $10.99+ which is a bit steep for a casual lunch.
(4)Lois F.
Fantastic. We will be back. Great food, staff and price. Gyros were huge and tasty
(5)Tim D.
I've been meaning to try this place forever since it is right up the street from my house. Finally got around to it today when the wife got some take out from here. Can't rate the inside, I wasn't there, but the gyro was phenomenal! Got a lamb gyro for six bucks and it was packed full of meat and was very flavorful. The wife got the chicken and could only eat half of it since it was so packed, she loved hers too. I can see us becoming regulars, will be back!
(5)Scott W.
Great Lamb Gyro. It's as big as my daughter's head, almost. Just shaped differently. I assume it (the gyro) tastes a lot better too, but I wouldn't know. I'm not an ogre. I actually do take care of my child, you know. :) Anyway, yeah. Great food, at least the gyro is highly recommended. It's not a real ambiance place, but it's tidy and clean and better than a lot of strip mall restaurants in that regard. You won't be disappointed if our experience is any indication.
(4)Garet S.
Coupon for $5 off of an order for $30 or more convinced my parents and I to check this place out. A little out of our way, but well worth the trip. Walked in and weren't really sure if we should seat ourselves, wait to be seated, or get in the line at the counter (watching other customers later confirmed this is common). After no direction from the staff, we figured we'd sit down and they'd tell us if we needed to move. Prices were very reasonable, so reasonable that I was a little nervous that we wouldn't spend $30, especially because they don't serve liquor, wine, beer, or medical marijuana. The waiter came by and welcomed us to the restaurant by informing us that the owner was "really pissing [him] off". After nervous laughter and an order of (soft)drinks, hot tea, and the hummus plate, he asked if we wanted extra bread (good call) and quickly placed our order. The hummus was wonderful, with a very creamy texture and the (hot!) freshly baked pita bread was great. My mom actually said she wished she had more after we finished it. Definitely get extra bread -- the plate only comes with four triangles of pita normally. My hot tea was very good -- asked what kind it was and the waiter said he thought it was Persian (I think it may have been jasmine). We each got the lamb gyro platter, which proved to be a LOT of food. In particular, there was a lot of very very good lamb meat -- way over a half pound, maybe close to a pound on each platter. Nice texture, crispy on the surface and tender and juicy. My dad thought it was good, but not noticeably better than at another restaurant -- he says it may have been better if there hadn't been so much of it (?!). The sauce was pretty good too, but after reading some additional reviews, I think I screwed up by not getting a regular lamb gyro (apparently the feta is very good and I can see how that would make it even better). Overall, we were all stuffed and had leftovers enough for a single lunch all for less than $40. Wish they served beer or wine and the service seemed to be a little rough (although well-meaning) so have to go with 4 stars instead of 5. Try it!
(4)Raja S.
Tried 2 items: Chicken Gyro: Awesome and cheap ($6) for the quantity. Very consistent with their preparation. Chicken Kabobs: Decent slightly costly ($12)... but still good quantity. Lamb kabobs was ok (could avoid). But the rice that came with the kabob was real good. Both the dishes came with spicy garlic sauce (like chipotle sauce). Service was okay (or not good)... This is a fast-food like place converted to restaurant style seating 2 weeks ago, I guess service hasn't followed yet :-) Would definitely visit again
(4)Andre E.
AWESOME Gyros.. and the flat bread is made onsite!
(5)Nelson S.
What's not to like? the staff was friendly, fast and everywhere. the menu was well put together and it even lets you know which dishes will take longer. several had (15m) letting you know it takes 15 minutes. we had a gyro, chicken gyro, chicken kabob and order of chips. everything was fast and presentation was very good. the food tasted really good and portion size was huge. when we are in beaverton again i'll definitely stop back in.
(5)Adriana R.
I will never step foot in here again! This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The employees are rude, one of them was extremely sexist towards me. I had asked him for menus and he stared at me with a serious face and when I asked again, he ignored me and when I asked the third time he finally gave me the menu. He was only answering my husband's questions and completing ignoring mine. I was extremely hungry and wanted something fast so I was not in the mood to get my money back and travel somewhere else. Even though the employees were horrible I gave the food a chance, and it comes out that the food was just as horrible! The meat from my gyro was too much that it made it fall a part and the tzatziki sauce was super watery. Both the food and service is horrible and I will never come back here again. There are better Greek restaurants in Oregon!
(1)Chad Or Lisa S.
3.5 stars to be exact. I wanna check this place out for a second try. The decor was warm and inviting. The service was great not a problem in that category. A great family oriented business. Prompt table service and excellent view of the kitchen 'happenings.' The Mediterranean Pizza was decent but unimaginative. They could have seasoned it to be more Mediterranean like and added za'atar and feta. The gyro sauce I will order on the side and add myself b/c there was too much of it and the taste was not all that exciting and took over the gyro. The french fried chips I was expected to be more like potato wedges. They were more like potato coins. They were OK not memorable. The yogurt drinks were bland. The baba ghanoush was probably the best we have ever had. I want to return and check this place out again as I am not convinced that I had that 4-5 star experience that other notable reviewers had. The flavors and seasonings were just not there. Again, I am curious to try them and hopefully update my review.
(3)Sara Q.
lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of lamb on their gyros. you get two kudos gyro house mediterranean grill. bueno bueno. made to order. must go people, must go.
(4)Alex O.
Great food for a great price! The staff is very friendly. The lady that gave them 1 star was probably just a racist. I am going to go back again and again. Also, the kitchen is open for all to see and very clean. Awesome gem of a restaurant.
(5)Jessica F.
This place is amazing! Got the lamb gyro and it was huge! I ate it for lunch and dinner! Super fast service too! Easily one of my favorite spots now!
(5)Amber M.
Wowzer. It's not like I'm a gyro genius, (but I've had my share) and even if you have no idea what a gyro is, once you take a bite of this hugorama fluffy pita wrapped around layers and layers of their glorious lamb/beef, loads of creamy feta chz ( creamy ie sour clumpy creamy texture but feta taste...coma good), crunchy lettuce and tomato, you will know what a gyro is. And you will never forget it. And I don't believe you will find a better one. You can look...but no no i don't think anything will match up to this little strip mall jewel. Strange...but it works. I have found another love.
(5)Jennifer H.
I have never met a Gyro I Liked... until the Gyro House. I told my husband I don't like them... He said try this one (puppy dog eyes and all) and from the first bite, I was in love. GET THE GARLIC SAUCE and the feta... TO DIE FOR. seriously good food. The guys are AWESOME. So friendly they make you feel like family. ALSO, I have never been a big fan of hummus.... until I had theirs. The best Hummus I have ever had bar non.
(5)Tom S.
I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try a Gyro. It was delicious and I'm sure to be back. The staff is super friendly and totally reminded me of my college roommate who was of greek heritage. They are currently undergoing an expansion into the space next door. That tells me that business is good and that's awesome. Love to see good people succeeding. I may have to try the skewers next time, but then again, maybe just stay with goodness! who knows.
(4)Joseph K.
Just an update, I thought the first time was just a fluke, but the gyro, though huge, is pretty salty. Yes, gyro meat is usually salty, and that's fine when the ratio of the meat to veggies to tzatziki to pita is perfect. Sadly, because there is so much meat, the saltiness outweighs anything. I guess it's still decent if you have half. But I would branch out and go with some other stuff...maybe the veggie maza platter, which was great and filling! Still a great place. Simple, quick, flavorful food!
(5)Krista H.
EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE!!!!! We started off with the hummus plate. The pita bread is like pillows of awesomeness and the hummus is smooth, creamy and absolutely yummy. I had the chicken gyro with spicy garlic sauce, my husband had the beef/lamb gyro.I will be dreaming of their food until we can go back. Their food is one of the best things we have ever eaten and they are all so nice and polite. We will definately be back. Love it!
(5)Tom J.
Seriously delicious food. The lamb gyros are the best around. I will drive out of my way for their food. The staff is very friendly and the service is good. I was very happy when they expanded a couple of years ago.
(5)Steven G.
The hummus is very creamy and delicious. The chicken gyro was tangy and flavourful. The lamb gyro was spicy and sweet. Each gryo is huge. My wife and daughter had to split one.You can tell everything is made fresh each day. The service is great.
(5)Anusha M.
Best Mediterranean Ever! Hands down! Don't hesitate to try it if you haven't already. I guess the other reviews have already covered plenty on the great dishes to try. Go on! You will not regret it.
(5)Jamie H.
We just moved a few blocks away from this place and I can tell this is going to be a habit for us. Their chicken gyros with the spicy garlic sauce are amazing! The super soft pita is piled sky high with some of the tastiest chicken I've ever had. I can't believe the amount of meat you get for 6 bucks. It's the best deal ever. This is officially my new favorite restaurant in our area.
(5)Melissa L.
Good prices on gyros, which is the only thing you need to get here. It's huge, and their spicy garlic sauce is amazing. Every now and then, get an order of fries with the spicy garlic and feta, but the gyro really is big enough to share. One of the best places for gyros in a long time. Haven't tried much else because the lamb gyro is so great!
(5)Cory C.
Could a gyro get any better? I submit that it cannot. This is by far my favorite restaurant ever and I have lived in NC, UT and CA in addition to OR. You can see from my other reviews that I am not effusive in my praise. As other reviewers have noted, the gyros are stacked with the best lamb meat. I have paid a lot more for a lot less at other places before I found the Gyro House. Never again... I always order the lamb gyro with the spicy garlic sauce and the hummus is amazing - creamy and delicious. You will be full and satisfied with your meal, so I recommend getting the baklava to go. As everything else at the GH, it is of the highest quality. The decor is attractive and authentic and a cultural experience. There are large photographs on the walls of various landmarks and religious sites from around the Middle East and beautiful tapestries hanging from the ceiling. Since I was last in, the photos have been helpfully labeled so we know what we are looking at. Every time I have been in, the owner is there on site. You can really tell he is putting his heart and soul into this place. You can tell from the quality. I have always found the wait staff to be very solicitous and professional. If you have the slightest interest in Middle Eastern food (and you would be a fool not to), do not hesitate to give the Gyro House a try. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
(5)Jenny H.
With the limited restaurant choices in Hillsboro, I was happy to find it on yelp and came to try out Gyro House soon afterwards. I ordered the Chicken Kabob and thought it was pretty good. The portions are insanely huge here. I got 6 large pieces of meat with my order. Don't forget to ask for a side of spicy garlic sauce. The chicken tasted even better when slathered in the sauce.
(4)Enteng K.
Every time i come here there is always a smile on the managers face. I really cant get enough of the gyros here. Ive been to a. Lot of Mediterranean restaurants but this place is one of the top ones I've been too.
(5)Dustin C.
$6.50 for what feels like a 1 lb. chicken gyro with feta cheese and spicy garlic sauce? Yes, please.
(5)Melissa K.
Five stars for me means the food is phenomenal, the prices are right for what you are getting (and then some, in this case), the service is phenomenal and this is all consistent time and time again. This place has it all--I have dreams, wonderful and beautiful dreams that consist of their food! The service is great! I had a hilarious waiter the first time I went in (mind you, when you walk in you cannot help but feel happy because it smells so delicious). He was also extremely helpful in suggesting things for us and I will love him forever for having us try the potatoes with spicy garlic sauce and feta--DEAR GOD! I literally rejoiced to the Lord over and over while eating it and after eating because I couldn't get over how delicious it was. And I hate feta usually! But this was ridiculously good. It's been 5 hours since I ate there and I have a ton of leftovers and I'm still full. But even thinking about the leftovers makes me smile! I have tried the chicken and the lamb gyros as well as the chicken shewarma plate. All great! Everything is perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked! My friends also tried the baklava and the twisty funnel thing--both were approved as excellent! If I can get over ordering the shawerma/gyros, I'll try the spinach and meat pies/falafel. The hummus here is also good! I went today and there's a good chance will be back tomorrow and I've planned a family trip there for this Sunday. It's that good! I'll upload pictures. You need to understand how incredibly large the portions are--of good quality food! Everything is perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked! Asem (who I think owns the place but I'm not certain) is extremely nice and funny as well! I just love the vibe you get coming in! I keep bringing different people here/finding any excuse I can to go here. And FREE WIFI?! I'll just live here. Keep the potatoes of perfection coming. Okay thanks.
(5)Quang N.
Yummy delicious lamb ! Great price and the food is quick to serve . You get plenty of meat for your money
(4)Marianne S.
I have eaten here many a time. I cannot say the all the prices are low, but the portions are generous, so I have never complained. For an appetizer, the felafel or the hummus plate is my favorite... or was it the Hummous Bi-Lahma? That one can be a full meal - Hummus, pita, and chicken. Also worth while is Kibbeh, a kind of meat ball, and very tasty. Last night, trying to be easy on the carbs, I choose the Chicken Salad with Tazzeki Sauce. I could not finish it, nor could my husband, who choose the Greek Salad with Lamb Gyro. As always, we ended with Baklava, although we were so full, we had to take them home and eat them later. They have some drinks I want to try some day. Drinks made with yogurt, or rose water. Fascinating. On the down side, this time only, they had run out of diet soda. The service is not the attentive to your every need sort, but then, we have very few needs in such a place. I have never felt slighted, and it is very clear that the people there want you to enjoy. That is a great advantage over other places with attentive but (emotionally) indifferent service. Overall, they are a friendly place that serves tasty food. I am almost reluctant to recommend them, as I don't want to have to compete with drooling hordes when I want my gyro fix!
(4)Scott F.
Groups beware! They instituted a new policy for groups where they will not split tickets for more than four cards. Fine. We figured out how we six were going to do this. One would pay for two, another one would pay for two, and myself and one other person would pay for ourselves. We get ready to pay, and instead of just paying for what we order (which would be the SMART thing to do), the guy (owner) divides the total bill evenly between the four cards used and tells us that's just the way it is. When I asked if we could keep it simple and just pay for what we ordered, he got really snarky and rude with me. So I ended up paying $15 for an $8 lunch. I can't believe in the 21st century a restaurant doesn't use a POS program to do that for them. Instead they hand write everything and left us to "figure it out". That's bull crap and that's not my job as the customer. It's not even about the money at this point, it's about the principal of it all. Great food, lousy service. I might be tempted to go again if it were just me or my wife and I, but never as part of a group. It's just not worth the hassle especially if the owner is treating his customers like garbage. We've had run-ins with this owner before. He has always treated us poorly. FOOD: A VALUE: A- SERVICE: D-
(2)Natalie S.
The only place I would ever eat gyros! Falafel and baba ganoush is the best.
(5)Jessica K.
My friends think I come out this way just to see them. Little do they know it is so I can visit this place and procure myself a gyro bigger than my face. If you recall my theory on sandwich purchases, I consider anything bigger than my face and less than $10 a deal. Their lamb gyro is around $6 and bigger than my face, so REALLY good deal. Also it is so damn good. The lamb is cooked perfectly and don't even think about turning down the spicy garlic sauce that goes on it. You can add feta for .50. I also love the grape leaves. If you decide to eat in, the service is excellent, the nicest people work here. Secret's out, now my Beaverton friends know that when I show up to their homes reeking of garlic deliciousness that I was not out fighting vampires, but rather inhaling the best gyro you'll find in these parts.
(5)Abby C.
Best gyros I've had so far. The staff is always friendly and the owner seems to remember everyone! My husband requests this place for lunch at least once a week. :)
(5)Jenn C.
This place has the best gyros I have ever tried! I'm in love with the lamb gyros with garlic sauce! The staff is super friendly and the place is clean and well kept! Love this place and eat here regularly!
(5)Fredolin C.
This place is small and crowded on peak hours because their serving is humongous and very delicious! The taste and serving is consistently good. The best Mediterranean in town and frankly ever. I just wish they expand again the place although it is not too bad.
(4)Brandon T.
I'll keep this review limited to the bare essentials seeing as everyone else has ranted on and on about the mass appeal of this destination. All you really need to know is that you should order the lamb/beef gyro with spicy garlic sauce, feta cheese and a side of baba ganoush. If you don't drive across town at least once try this food and say hi to the very kind staff then you are doing yourself an unfortunate disservice.
(5)Dana S.
I love this place!!! Staff is friendly, service is quick and food is DELICIOUS! It is one of my favorite places to eat. My Son loves it as well. Their portion sizes are tremendous, and the price to go with the portion is excellent.

We live about 20 minutes away, but man o man is it worth the 40 minute around trip! Our favorite restaurant hands down! The gyros (only $6 for a gyro bigger than your face and definitely big enough for 2) are amazing! You need to try both the seasoned chicken and the lamb!!! The spicy garlic and tzatziki sauces are killer. The real draw though for us is their hummus plate. It is unlike hummus I've had anywhere else - its so creamy and thick, and not overpowering like other places. Be sure to buy an extra order of pita bread when you get it though, because it is just as good as the hummus! I can't comment on their other menu items, because well, once you've found the best, you don't want to order anything else. We have been there at their busiest and their slowest times of the day. During the slow times, you will only be waiting about 8-10 minutes for food depending on what you order. (and that hummus plate will be out in 2 minutes!) During their busiest times, it can get a little hectic in there, but just like anywhere at peak times, it will be a small wait for food / service. Whenever it has been a little too long since our waiter has been by, we just flag him down and they are always super nice about it. The owners / staff are amazing friendly. A typical meal for the two of us: 1 chicken or lamb gyro (we alternate) with feta (and sometimes w/ or w/o the spicy garlic sauce depending on our mood) to split, a hummus plate with an extra order of bread and 2 waters. With tip included, its only $15.00, so I count that as a bargin!

some of the tastiest chicken I have ever had!!! Seriously, don't know what they marinate it in....soo good!
(5)Rebecca S.
the best gyro i've ever had. hands down. i could go here every day and i'm pretty sure i wouldnt get sick of their gyros. when they ask "garlic & feta"? say yes. you wont regret it :)

Go...stop what you're doing...and go eat here !!! When you find a restaurant that you are willing to go over an hour out of your way to eat at, well you have found a great one. Whenever we go to Portland we will eat here at least twice! The restaurant is incredibly clean and well staffed by an entire family. The gyros are absolutely incredible! I have not tried anything I didn't like here (and that's saying a lot for me). I have never had such creamy and delicious hummus!

I made my second trip in a month to the Gyro House today for a tasty to-go lunch. You can't go wrong. The restaurant is located in an unassuming strip mall next to a Thai place. The restaurant is clean, simply decorated, easy to get in and out of, and comfortably accomodates eat in or take out orders. The staff is friendly and professional. The hit here is the huge gyro full of fresh meat, pickles, lettuce, and tomato for $6! I have only had the chicken, which is really nicely seasoned with what I think is tumeric. You can get Feta for an extra 50 cents, which does add to the tasty flavor combo, but isn't necesssary if you are going for value. You have the choice of tzatziki sauce or spicy garlic sauce - the garlic sauce has a unique flavor and adds a nice kick, but the tzatziki is really good too and lets the rest of the flavors really shine through - I don't there is a wrong choice here. The ingredients are fresh and the flavor combination is right on. Best gyro I've had in Portland. I've had the hummus plate also which is good, not a bad price at $5, but I really needed more pita. The hummus is creamy and has a good flavor; the pita is also really good, even though I hear they aren't homemade (apparently the only thing in the place that isn't), but there is really no need for anything more than the Gyro - it's big and so flavorful. I used to be a big fan of Hush Hush which got its start downtown, but it went downhill fast when it was sold to new owners. The Gyro House is my new spot for Mediterranean.
(5)Carolyn E.
I told the owner I would come write this because it was AMAZING!!! First time here and I couldn't stop eating the Hummas!!!! So smooth and amazing flavor! Defiantly going back. Thank you for the amazing food and fun experience! I also had a falafel sandwich and it was HUGE!!! Great flavor!!! Can't say enough good things! GO HERE YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED!
(5)Norman M.
Had a couple of co-workers talk me into going for lunch as I had never gone and don't like trying new places during lunch...but damn. Very glad I went. Incredibly good and well priced. Definitely recommend going!
(5)Elaine E.
Gyros. In a word: AMAZING. This may have been the best gyro of my life. My son absolutely loved it and can't stop begging to return! The waiters and owner were very attentive and kind - made for a very enjoyable experience. It was a fairly long drive for us to go to the Gyro House - but we will definitely be back! Gyros! Gyros! Gyros!
(5)Michelle B.
Best Greek food I have ever had but some of the worst service I have ever received. Waiters ignore you. You can be the only costumer in this restaurant and it can still take 10 minutes and some serious eye contact before anyone will take your order. It's pretty pathetic really.
(3)Leah H.
Gyro House has HUGE gyros. No joke. I read the reviews and still was not prepared for the monster that was placed in front of me. For the same price that you would buy a normal sized gyro, you get the gyro that ate the normal sized gyro. I got the lamb one. It was a hot meat mess. Lamb falling everywhere; too much to be contained by the bread. Really good tasting lamb too. Is there such thing as too much of a good thing? By the halfway point I wanted to surrender, but then there was this stick of a girl next to me that was dominating her equally gargantuan gyro, and I felt the necessity to man up. I rolled out to the car after I finished. On my gyro, I got the recommended spicy sauce which was not all that spicy but was much much much more creamy then I prefer. Next time I would pass on that. The pickles were not as out of place as I imagined, but didn't really add to the meal. And I found myself missing having veggies with the scale leaning so heavily toward the meat side. I figure there is probably the normal amount on veggies on the gyro but the piles of meat just overshadow them. While Gyro House has a Beaverton address, it feels more like Hillsboro to me. I sincerely doubt I will just find myself out in that neighborhood so that I can conveniently grab myself a gyro. But if I do find myself out there, I now know that I will not starve to death.

On random day my boyfriend was on his way home and decided to stop here to pick up a gyro. He called to ask if he could pick me up anything and I opted for the falafel with hummus, having never been brave enough to venture out and try lamb. My gyro was really good --- the hummus was amazing, but when I was offered a bite of my boyfriend's lamb gyro, I wept a little that I hadn't gotten one of my own. Needless to say, it wasn't too long before we visited again and I got my very own lamb gyro. The lamb is absolutely amazing. And they are freakin' huge. You could definitely eat off one for two substantial meals. Other perks: they have a variety of delicious deserts to choose from. The folks there are incredibly friendly, patient with our slaughtering of the correct pronunciation of the menu items, and they are very informative. I absolutely recommend checking them out! You won't regret it!
(5)Jesy B.
Whoa, this little place is unassuming. I mean, I have driven by it a million, billion times and never really took notice. Nothing about it says HEY LOOK AT ME!! Which turns out, if you know about it, is a good thing because this place would be constantly packed. This is by far the best Gyro I've had in my life. Absolutely overstuffed & a hot mess to eat. The chicken is fantastically seasoned, the spicy garlic was MMMMMMMmmmmm good & the whole shebang was just awesome. And for $5.99? Wow, you pay more for those low quality ones at Saturday Market. To boot, the hummus is really good. I got myself a side of it which was plenty for me to eat - but then again I can eat a lot of hummus. Service is prompt & polite - and you can tell the owner really cares if people like the food. Fantastic find!

1, Good collection of dishes, 2. some options for vegetarian ppl. 3. Friendly service 4. Good for lunch

Hands down the biggest and best Gyro I've ever had. My wife was dying for a Gyro and found this place earlier in the day, this is where we headed for dinner. We got here around 8pm and were greeted by the owner, a very kind man from Lebanon. His wife introduced herself, she was from Jordan I believe and the man on the grill was from Turkey. This spoke volumes to me considering this was giving the impression we were gonna get some authentic Gyros! To say the least, these Gyro's were freaks of nature. HUGE overly stuffed sandwiches with shaved lamb. I listened to Brian l. and went with the spicy garlic which did add a wonderful dimension. Taste, price, portion size were all on spot. As a side we ordered the Hummous and pita bread. We both LOVED the Hummous. It makes the store bought look like a joke. A finer texture with a better flavor is how I perceived it. From what I understand this place is slammed with a line out the front door come lunch time, and with good reason too. For the quality and amount, you cant beet the price. Instant customers!! And again, the owners went out of their way to introduce themselves and make us feel welcome. Great business right there.
(5)Brant W.
You know this one is a tough call. The food is just out of this world good. Everything I have had is just the best. The menu has a lot of great items that are all served up in great proportions. I have an issue with the service. If you happen to go at lunch time, be prepared to wait for everything. This place is so popular, that you will have to etch out quite a bit of time to get a menu, get something to drink and then get your food. They are very disorganized and seem lost on how to serve a full house. If you go at around 11am or 1pm you can get a speedy lunch. Anytime in between then good luck. I have walked out of this place twice now because of the long delays. The staff just run around me and no one helps. Its kinda like being invisible. I will still go here, but it will be a lot less, since I cant always take time before or after noon to eat. 5 stars before 11 and after 1:30p.....
(3)Doug S.
The food was delicious and over-sized portions. This was the 2nd time for me and the 1st time for my wife. We are definitely going to be repeat customers. Hummus plate appetizer was amazing. Some of the best Hummus I have ever had and the Pita bread was excellent. So good! Falafel Plate - Delicious. We each had the Greek Salad with Chicken, and we should have just ordered one to share. There was a lot of chicken piled on the salad. The wait staff was very friendly and engaging, without being intrusive. The food was timely, with no long waits. Great atmosphere, great place to get a bite. We enjoyed it very much.
(5)Kevbo H.
So delicious! Would not expect food this good in a strip mall like this. Probably the best gyro I've ever had.
(4)Chad V.
Best gyro in the Portland area! Service is great and so is the food! The owner is a really nice guy that always asks for customer feedback. Definitely give this place a try!
(5)Lindsay T.
My bf and I come here about once a week for their amazing gyros! We always order the same thing: 2 lamb gyro specials with extra pickles. Their pickles are amazing and taste homemade! The gyros are huge, the meat is flavorful juicy and tender. I love the spicy garlic sauce and feta cheese-the "special" part. I usually eat half of mine and let the bf have 1.5, that's how big they are. At $6.50 for the special you can't beat it. We always get to go so I can't speak for the service and we've never tried anything else on the menu so this review is purely for the gyros. We've tried a couple other gyro places around the area but none come close to Gyro House and I'm always disappointed after trying the gyros at other restaurants. The only complaint I have is that we used to order extra pickles on the side and for $2 they would give us a whole handful, now they give us about 4 in a little sauce dish for .50. We've been coming here since they first opened and will continue to do so for our weekly gyro fix.
(5)Matt S.
So it's called the Gyro House- and my god that's what it is. The lamb gyro with the feta and the spicy garlic sauce is the best gyro I have ever had. Probably 1/3 - 1/2 pound of lamb. Wow. The chicken sandwich is just as good. Nicely grilled, tender, tastes perfect. The prices, quality and portions of the falafel sandwiches and the gyro's is second to none. $5.99 for these portions? Unbelievable. The fries are nothing to get excited about. The baklava is average. What I am getting at is this is a place where you go for good service, clean atmosphere and unbelievable gyros. Nothing beats it for that, now the rest of the menu has not impressed me so far but I will provide an update as I order more For the gyros this place gets a solid "Matty Likey".
(5)Dorene S.
The baba ghanoush with pita bread is pretty addictive. The fries are not too different from American fries. Don't forget to try their special house drink which has pine nuts floating in it too! KPI (Key Performance Indicators) ratings (1-5, 5 - best): Quality: 3 Delivery/Service: 3 Cost: 3
(3)Dan P.
Gyro house you're my hero. Your casual atmosphere, welcoming host and friendly service brought a smile even before I looked at the menu. I found myself in your dining room with minimal money and a large appetite so I wasn't expecting a miracle. However what I received was just that! In less than 20 minutes of ordering my lamb gyro was presented with a pita pocket the size of my head, overflowing with tender strips of shaved lamb, micro grated feta cheese and crisp veggies all topped with a spicy garlic sauce. Astonishingly you provided me all this satisfaction for only $5.99! Looks like I'll be satisfying all my lamb binges at your house.
(4)Scott N.
Gyro House has been really racking up the five star reviews on Yelp and for good reason. Delicious food, nice people, and an interesting interior. It all comes together to form a wonderful dining experience from the Middle East. Today on our umpteenth visit we found that Gyro House is an excellent place to go for a salad. Four types of salads are offered at Gyro House: Tabouli, Greek, Fattoush, and Chicken. The salad dressing consists of squeezed lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. To your Greek salad you can add grilled chicken or lamb gyro for $2.99. It's more than worth it! Gyro House drizzles tasty tazzeki sauce (yogurt sauce) on top of your Greek salad meat. Best Greek salad I have ever had. On the walls of Gyro House are beautiful photos of Mecca, Syria, and Iran. It's all so beautiful and so at peace at Gyro House.
(5)Dian K.
Wow, what a disappointment. I was all excited on trying a new place close(ish) to work for lunch. With the glowing reviews, the four of us went. Waiter/owner was kinda pushy in ordering appetizer, so we got humus and he mumbles "with extra bread" as he was writing it without asking us whether we want extra bread or not (this cost extra, btw). As someone mentioned, they really need to give more bread with their humus. 4 tiny triangles of bread doesn't do justice on a small plate full of humus. I've had better humus, but the pita bread is good and fresh. I ordered the lamb gyro with spicy garlic sauce. Was asked if I wanted feta, and I said yes (didn't realize it's 50 cents more for a sprinkle of grated feta, NOT chunks of feta). I thought the gyro didn't have a good balance of meat vs. veggies/sauce. It's way too much meat making it too salty for me. I also tried my friend's Greek Salad (with added chicken). Again, chicken is too salty but at least with a salad you can dole out the correct amount. We came around 12:30 - 1p and there weren't that many people there. Maybe I came in on an off day? I don't think I'll try again though.
(2)Shauna F.
Had a group of 12 walk-in here for lunch a little after noon on a Friday. The place was crowded but the friendly staff did what they could to get us seated together as quick as possible...we didn't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes to be seated. We started with the hummus appetizer and it was fantastic! The hummus was very smooth and almost creamy tasting...and the pita bread is the best I've ever had. Our waiter was very nice, funny, and made sure that we were being taken care of. I had the lamb gyro and was very pleased with it....what a great price ($6) for something stuffed with tasty meat and sauces. I will be going back repeatedly
(5)Krista G.
Yummy Gyro's, make sure to add garlic sauce and feta!!!! There fries are also pretty tasty. I'm so happy to be able to get my gyro craving satisfied without heading to the east side. The meat is moist and full of flavor! Plenty of seating but the place get's packed at lunch.
(4)Aaron W.
I had seen several positive reviews of this place, so I decided to try them out. I went with their chicken gyro ($5.99), asking for their spicy garlic sauce on the side. Lovely grilled chicken pieces marry with special spices, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and tzatziki. I received a lovely portion for six bucks. I got a lot of grilled chicken, and I loved that curry-like color. The Mediterranean spices really penetrated that poultry well. I enjoyed the fresh vegetables and the warm pita itself. The spicy garlic sauce was not spicy at all to me, but I really liked the garlicky flavors. It is a welcome complement to the seasonings, chicken, and vegetables. The tzatziki is also very nice here. Both sauces also give this gyro great color. I'm not sure what to make of having pickles in my gyro. I know that cucumbers can be found in gyros and in a lot of Greek dishes (especially because tzatziki may incorporate small diced cucumbers into it), but pickles don't sound very traditional to me. Still, I appreciate the briny taste the pickles bring to the dance. That extra layer of flavoring was something I probably would not expect to find in a gyro. It costs 50 cents more to add Feta cheese to your gyro. Mixed feelings about that one. I like Feta cheese and always felt that it should just be a part of the gyro, no questions asked. But I can also understand that there are people who may not care for the cheese. Or maybe Gyro House wants to cater a little more to people that lead a dairy-free lifestyle. I saw a few customers in front of me that appeared to have roots in the Middle East or in that Mediterranean region. One of the workers there (at least the one who took my order) also appears to have such a heritage. That's definitely a good sign that you will be getting some great food. I don't think the inside decor is too much to write home about, but I will mention that I saw the lamb-beef combination sitting on that gyro machine. A great visual for anyone walking into the establishment. Overall, Gyro House serves up a very good chicken gyro. Be sure to get their spicy garlic sauce -- especially if you're a garlic lover!
(4)Matthew B.
It doesn't get much better than this. I couldn't even finish my lamb gyro... Super delicious, especially with the spicy garlic tahini. The house baklava was just OK.
(5)Chiemi N.
I had a hair appointment in the same strip mall that Gyro House Mediterranean Grill is located. I ordered the Lentil Soup with a dash of lemon and spices, that is only available on Thur-Sat for $2.99. It was a decent portion for this price....and with some pita bread, would make a decent meal. (Bread would cost an extra dollar, I believe). It came with a wedge of lemon on the side. I tasted the soup, thought it was pretty tasty, but when I squeezed a little lemon in...it really seemed to jazz it up a bit. I also ordered the Lamb Gyro with the creamy garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is a little extra, but I read a lot of reviews raving about it, so I got it. Even though I liked the sauce, I might try ordering it on the side, so I can control the amount. It was a really tasty gyro, lots of meat piled on top. I had a drink that had raisin syrup in rose water. It's really sweet, interesting flavor. I could only drink about half of it. First impression when it hits your tastebuds, is sweetness. But the taste of rosewater overwhelms, and it tastes like drinking perfume. I am sure the next time I go for my hair appointment, I will be back!
(4)Eric W.
For me, I put Gyros in the same category as pizza and burgers, in the sense that I am always in the endless pursuit to scout out the best out there. I have to say that this has to be the most impressive Gyro I have had so far in the Portland area. And it blows me away such a good place can exist in a tiny strip mall out in the suburbs. But thats great, because I am sick and tired of being forced to choose from one suburban mega chain or another. It is refreshing. Everything about the Gyro was awesome, all the ingredients were fresh and there was so much meat piled on that it was almost hard to finish, and with the very affordable price, it was most certainly worth it. The sauces and flavoring in their dishes are top notch and you will be sure to walk out of Gyro House very satisfied. Also, to top it off, the service was very good and it generally seemed that all the employee's really cared about your enjoyment of the food and restaurant. They make it a very relaxing place to be, even during the lunch rush hour. My hats off to you Gyro House for being such a nice breath of fresh air in an otherwise stuffy suburban cuisine environment.
(5)Parul C.
I have to at least go here once a week otherwise I don't feel my week is over :) I love everything on their menu and enjoy it everytime
(4)Omar F.
This was my 1st time coming to this restaurant and I was completely satisfied. Food was delicious and service is beyond description, manager and staff are very friendly. In short I had a really good time and will come back again:)
(5)Genna C.
Gyro House is a little bit frustrating for me, and here's why: We ordered the hummus appetizer, which is a whole lot of smooth, creamy hummus and a whole lot of olive oil with a small amount of pita, for $5.00. It's a $1.00 for more pita, but that feels cheap - how about just giving us an adequate portion the first time, you know? Not enough of a good thing. I am not a big fan of lamb, so I got the chicken gyro. The chicken is flavorful and plentiful, and the tzatziki is fine, but the sandwich quickly became tedious. I found myself eyeing it and thinking about how much more there was to slog through, not excited to eat the rest. I do eat meat, but I am not a hardcore MEAT EATER - this was way too much for me and not interesting enough to make the effort. More feta might have helped? Or more flavor in the tzatzizi? I tried the spicy garlic sauce - a bit too spicy for my personal taste, but a step in the right direction that I would recommend to anyone trying the gyros. All in all: too much of a good thing. The round fry/chip things: are okay. Not special. The service is friendly and well-intentioned, but missed the mark a little. Glasses went dry, small parts of our orders were wrong. Nothing egregious, but nothing exemplary. Just okay. All in all, I was left full, the food was good, but I also feel over it....like I'm not intending to come back any time soon, and that's a shame. It's a small, family-run spot and I like what they are doing there enough to bump my 2 1/2 stars to 3, but I certainly don't have that can't wait to try it again feeling.
(3)Beverly M.
My husband used to work in Hillsboro so he would frequent this place for lunch. Now in Tualatin we just have to make the drive for dinner it's that good. Their gyros are stuffed with meat & their lamb kabob plates have 8 big pieces of lamb w/slices of green bell pepper in between, side of Greek salad & saffron rice (yum)! My kids like the cheese and meat pies but they are not big so they order 2. And save room for dessert or take some togo like we do cuz they are all so good (coconut cake, baklava & moshiabak). My kids love the coconut juice w/tiny pulp pieces. Restaurant relatively inexpensive compared to how much food you get. I'd recommend splitting an entree or be prepared to take food home! P.S. Hummus had more of a mayo consistency (not what I'm used to) & you have to order extra bread b/c the order only comes w/4 small pieces. Servers were nice but service wasn't great. My husband said no tomatoes in his gyro & there were tomatoes. We had empty water glasses during entire meal. I took a star off for service.
(4)Brian I.
Easy update to 5 stars. The spicy garlic sauce is an absolute *must* on the gyros. It adds a tangy, spicy (shocking!) dimension to an otherwise outstanding sandwich. The gyro is so stuffed with meat that it's a bit difficult to eat, but that's about the only thing approaching a "problem" I could complain about. It's a good situation. They've updated the interior since I was last here, adding some tasteful pictures on the walls. They've also replaced the glass display up front with a very nice black (granite?) countertop. It looks a lot more classy and inviting.
(5)Jeremy S.
Good Lebanese for suburbia, but not fantastic. My recommendations are the kebab combo and the gyro sandwich. Get the spicy garlic sauce with whatever you order. If you want really great Lebanese, make the trek down to Nicholas. If you're not worried about the best Lebanese Portland has, then this place will do nicely.
(4)Daniel G.
Be careful, this place is amazing and you will get addicted. If you you love Mediterranean food this should be at the top of your list. The hummus and pita is to die for. 100% authentic home cooked Middle Eastern taste. The Gyros....... best in Portland....... and they are huge!!! Make sure to order it with spicy garlic sauce.
(5)Shelby L.
The portions are great and the Hummus is unlike any other. I wish I knew what they did that made their Hummus so CREAMY. The Hummus plate is a meal in itself.
(5)Swan A.
Chicken kabob sandwich with the spicy garlic sauce... YUM! The combo of the fresh bread, yummy sauce and chicken is so good. The chicken is so delicious, it has the perfect blend of spices and char. My husband loves the lamb, falafel and dolmas. We passed this place a few times on our way to our favorite Thai place and then decided to give it a try and I'm so happy we did. It's quick, affordable, clean and one of my favorite places to take people. Last time we were there we saw a guy order take out and then when he saw the sandwich he sat and immediately ate it because it looked so good.
(5)Christine H.
Im so happy to have a place to get my Gyro Fix on... I grabbed one on recommendation of a friend yesterday. It was difficult to go in and walk past my fave Thai place out on the west side... but Im so glad I did. I did place my order to go because I was in a bit of a hurry to get to my after work errands. In looking around the place it was clean but not a lot put into it. The other three patrons had also placed their orders to go. The thought crossed my mind that they may be better off having a pick up window and save some rent! When I got home and unwrapped my monstrous GYRO I was so pleased by the aroma alone from the Garlic Sauce and the Lamb. I had never seen pickles on a Gyro before...but it was a perfect addition! Its big enough to split between two peeps and get a salad too;)
(4)Shannon R.
I just had lunch there and, as always, it was fantastic!!! Last month, I had the Gyro House cater my son's graduation party. Everyone loved it~ they were impressed at how fresh and delicious the food was. If you are looking for someone to cater an event, go in and talk to one of the brothers~ they're both great. They will help you plan the menu to make sure you have everything you need to keep all your guests happy and well fed.
(5)michael k.
I couldn't even wait a week. It's that good. And this is a no small trek for me, it's out there. Ok I was corrected by the owners that I didn't want the Gyros meat put on the grill. What I really wanted was "a fresh cut gyro, extra done" Yeah that's what I wanted.
(5)Windy S.
Yelp led me here after dropping my daughter off at Van Warped Tour. Maybe my expectations were to high or maybe I'm comparing this to unfair competition. I food and service was good. I would come here again. But when I compare this place to some of my favorite gyro places... it's just okay. You know... now that I think about it, maybe it's just the rice I'm not sold on. I really love Mediterranean rice and their rice was just not what I wanted it to be. Every time I order a gyro or lamb sandwich, I always order a side of rice. The texture and flavor of the rice was kind of dry and bland. We also ordered the falafel plate as an appetizer. We were a little disappointed that it didn't come with any garnishes that we are used to. No pickles, no peppers, no hummus or sauce and no pita bread. Other than that, everything was good. If I needed my gyro fix in this area I would stop by again, but not a destination spot.
(3)Steve W.
Wanted to update the upstanding folks at Gyro House. One night, their credit card machine was on the fritz. Instead of making us wait until fixed, they handed us the food and said to pay the next time we came in. We are frequent visitors to the place, but this was new to us. Great place. Great food for the price.
(4)Derek W.
I've been taking my girlfriend around town to try different Falafel places. Usually I just skip eating because it's not my kind of food. Wow! The Falafel Sandwich was phenomenal! The service was excellent. Definitely worth the drive from Troutdale. We'll be back for sure!
(5)Holy-foo' X.
The Turks borrow liberally from the Greeks when it comes to cuisine, you'd think those two ancient rival nations would make better neighbors. Instead, they've locked horns over Cyprus, and refuse to 'Friend' each other on FaceBook, very disconcerting! (I'm so out of the loop w/the whole fb thing... is it being called "The Face Book" these days? You know, like how Batman used to be called "THE Batman" in the old 60s TV series and movie?) The lamb meat was tasty and cut straight from the glistening vertical rotisserie spits. So far so good. But the feta (which you pay 0.50 extra for) is mostly liquid, and so when you tilt that gyro for your first bite----voila! Insta-milky feta-garlic mess, cascading down your shirt and into your lap! The chicken meat for our other gyro---not too great. Funky tasting. Tender and moist, but again, a huge mess w/the melted Feta... The meat and spinach pies were lacking in much conspicuous flavor in their fillings, and had as a chief descriptive characteristic "doughy".... if doughy is your thing, you'll be in heaven. It's not really our thing, so what to say? Not so great, to us.... Adam King and especially Cedo's were better recent gyro experiences. We liked Gyro House, and were glad to get to check 'em out, given all the Yelp love they've accumulated in 2 short years while in operation. The staff was nice and fairly proficient while it was quite busy.... just think twice before ordering the extra feta--- that, or bring a bib!!!
(3)Diana T.
Best gyros I've ever had! So unique with the spicy garlic sauce and not to mention HUGE portion. Sucks I don't live near this place anymore. Find myself craving the lamb gyro daily! Must try!!!!
(5)Daniel H.
Holy baklava, Batman. When I was growing up in Montana, there was a little family-owned place called Greek Gyros within walking distance of our house. We'd go there on special occasions, and the gyros were amazing. Gyro House is even better. Huge gyros full of flavor and lamb and feta. Cheap. The baklava ain't bad, either. It seems to be a family-owned joint, and the people are friendly and helpful. I'm going to go sink into a gyro coma and dream about the lamb in my belly.

One of the best gyros you get in the Pacific NW. Their chicken gyro is messy-delicious with spicy garlic feta sauce is really unique and filling. The gyro portion is huge and the fries are not the standard cut, but circular and very good. Fast service, clean restaurant, and great service. I'm a local to this neighborhood and it's one of my favorite haunts. If you want to impress a friend who is a Portland food junkie/foodie and they're in the burbs, this place is one of the places to take that friend. Along with Chennai Masala.*

Absolutely the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. The warm pita bread and creamy hummus was insane; the fries, special sauce and feta was worth coming for by itself; and the gyros were off the hook! Owner/chef takes pride in his food and actually enjoys his customers. How refreshing is that?!! Baklava? OMG. Still savoring a piece that I took home. I loved this place and will make myself and family regulars from now on. Restaurant location is convenient and the prices are amazing for the amount and quality of food.

Date Visited: Sunday 1/2/11 (Dinner) Wanting to try a new restaurant, I started to look on Yelp for something nearby. For some reason, hummus and the like just seemed like the right meal and since it was my pick for dinner, I pointed to my computer screen and said, "We're going there!" Just 2 miles from home, we got in the cold car and made our way to Gyro House. It's right next door to Zab Thai, a place we eat at a bit. I was a little skeptical after we pulled into the parking space and saw the restaurant. It looked a bit too casual. We walked in and were greeted almost like we were known. There were customers paying, so we were handed 2 menus and told we could sit anywhere we liked. The menu is not complex and actually didn't have a lot to it. Thankfully, the place didn't need a lot. We ordered the vegetarian appetizer (mezza) plate (see photo) and one of the salads. The appetizers were all brought out on separate dishes. There were stuffed grape leaves (3), baba ganoush (generous portion), hummus (not as generous of a portion), falafel balls (2), tabouli salad (generous portion), and pita bread (4 triangles worth). We ended up getting 3 plates of the pita bread and I'm not exactly sure how much extra it cost us. Spazz didn't care for the falafel, but really enjoyed the other items. I wasn't crazy about the baba ganoush, but liked everything else. I made myself little sandwiches by rolling up 1/2 falafel ball, hummus, the tabouli, and some of the iceberg lettuce that came with the falafel balls all together in the pita bread. YUM. Will this place survive? I hope so. I'm sure we'll be going back in the very near future, especially when it's my turn to pick the place again. I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that Mediterranean food may be the cuisine I've been looking for, all those times I didn't know what mood I was in. It's great to not have to go all the way to Portland to get it!

The best fucking chicken gyro i hav ever had and i have had many.. The staff us really friendly too
(5)Ben R.
Get the $6 lamb gyro sandwich. It's huge. Two small appetites could probably share it. Both the tzakiki yogurt sauce and the spicy garlic sauce are wonderful. For a kids meal I recommend a hummus plate, it is very smooth and the kids love the warm pita bread. This is also a great lunch place for a large group (especially if you come right at 11am when they open). They recently expanded in to a larger space in this strip mall. The Thai restaurant next to them absorbed their old space (they are also worth trying). I also recommend Chatterbox at the end for excellent coffee, pastries and a few breakfast items. GoGo across the parking lot has excellent burgers. The remodel has brought a decorated interior with accent lighting and interesting pictures from around the Middle East. My only complaint is the bathroom... This is one of my favorite lunch/dinner places in Hillsboro. It is centrally located, the service is very helpful and attentative. It probably helps that the owner seems to be there every day (you can't miss him, he's the tall one). The service is also very fast, especially if you order the gyro - it will be there in about five minutes. I have also started exploring the other options on their menu and so far pretty tasty. We have also tried their coconut bread and baklava (for take out - we were stuffed), and would definitely order them again if we're craving sugar that day.

I am a regular here for their gyros. They are awesome. Beware: they have a heavy feta hand. I like feta but I don't like half a pound of it overwhelming my palate from the humongoid lamby incredibleness that is their gyro. Just say no to the feta. I've tried the hummus. Meh. I've tried the Chicken Shawarma. Meh. I've tried the falafel, dry and tasteless with a bad side of sauce. Gyros for life! After several trips here, I also determined that this is a place for pickup food to take home or on a picnic. I think the interior is cold and unwelcoming, even though the owner/operator is usually nice and accommodating. The chairs are uncomfortable, too. Gyro, gyro, gyro yum. Oh, and maybe some of their desserts, which are awesome. They have some kind of coconut concoction with pistachios that I almost want more right now than the gyro. Last time I went there they were out and I swear I almost cried.
(4)Don C.
Best Mediterranean food around! The Gyro Chicken pizza was fabulous as was the Lamb Kabob- perfectly seasoned, delicious meat! We saw some enormous Gyros being served to other guests & we'll try that next time! We'll be back!
(5)Syeda I.
Been there 7 times so far.., n fall in love with the food all over again... I like lmb gyros, n kabob combo....simply delicious. Salad hummus pita simply amazing...last week I So ordered spinach pie...so yummy...will definitely go again...a bit pricy but u get plate full. .never regretting paying more ...
(5)Amy S.
Excellent food. Very very tasty and generous portions. The spicy garlic sauce is divine! The tzatziki, on the other hand was not very good at all. Maybe it was a bad batch, but it tasted like Elmer's glue (not that I eat Elmer's glue.. just guessing what it would taste like based on the smell!). The service was not great. The poor waiters (there were two) were overwhelmed by the dinner rush and seemed quite lost. Our table wanted to split the check three ways, and the waiter put everything together on one ticket, asking us to deal with it at the register. Doing so was a little chaotic... Esp. since the register is right near the front door. I think perhaps this is a place that is best to do take-out from. BUT, again, in spite of the dining room quirks - the food is excellent!
(4)Dawn D.
Bomb diggidy food, authentic greek atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Super nice staff.
(5)Clair M.
My boyfriend introduced me to this place a few years back. I love their lamb gyros and because of that I have yet to try anything else. They have since expanded but unlike other restaurants, their prices are still low. TL;DR - Get the lamb gyro with feta and the spicy garlic sauce. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Y B.
Not authentic. :-( Sorry, but I am pretty picky and this is just not a good quality of food or prepared with any care. It is expensive and they were under staffed. Don't think I will spend my hard earned money here. Can make better at home.
(2)Jeff S.
Gyro. Kabob. Hummus. Iskender plate. Garlic fries. All awesome! The best I've had In the area.
(5)Mark P.
The front counter man is named, Awesom. Prepare for a joke about that if he asks how the food was and your response is "Awesome". Either way, he has a right, and he definitely takes pride in seeing his customers happy. Good people indeed. My lamb gyro was only alive for about 5 minutes before I devastated it. RIP. I don't need to say anything else. Everything here is on point, authentic, and prepared quickly. Read the other reviews for details on that. I have to give you one important heads up before visiting: Lunch can get pretty busy, so plan ahead. Also plan on finding a secret place at work to hide and take a 40 minute nap, because I guarantee that you're gonna get that itis. I suggest a supply closet or a corner in a warehouse behind some palettes. Pros: Food that's damn near sexual. Cons: Finding a place to take a nap at work after the itis hits.
(5)Mike H.
I use Yelp so much when I travel I figured I'd better start contributing. In the mood for a Gyro or just something different then burgers or pizza? The reviews are not wrong. A simple, understated place that smells great right when you walk in. The folks are very friendly. I went last night around 7pm, no problem getting a table but there were only 1 or 2 left empty. I ordered the falafel appetizer and a lamb Gyro with spicy sauce. Taste was great, ingredients fresh and service quick. The Gyro was big so I really didn't need the Falafel app. I'm sure I'll go back this week to try other things.
(5)Kristine L.
So, we have been back to this place a few times since my first review. Let me say that NOTHING has changed! The hummous was still the creamiest, most delicious I have eaten. We have had the lamb gyros and the falafell, both spiced perfectly and cooked to perfection. The owner always has a smile on his face is very welcoming. Last night we tried the dalmas. In my experience, these are either really good or really bad. Thankfully these were STUPENDOUS!!! They were moist without being soggy, they had that tart flavor and they were not too big or too small. Next time, we will try some deserts!
(5)Lindsie L.
Best Mediterranean food I've ever had! This was the first time I'd ever been to this restaurant and it's safe to say I'll be going back soon and more frequently. The staff is great! They're very attentive. Very cheap food with great flavor! :) Definitely try the Chicken Gyro if you go, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Chris L.
These are the best gyros in town, bar none. Don't miss a chance to come here! Everyone is ridiculously friendly, and they work hard to make it a great place.
(5)Alex C.
I'll just say that I made special arrangements to arrange my daily schedule of over 20 stops to enjoy a gyro by these guys. Top notch! Spicy garlic sauce and feta cheese set this one off. There is so much meat that a person like me (who could live off of meat) sets some aside to make sure I have %90 meat in every bite. For $6.49 I can honestly say I have never had a better meal in my life. Other than the meat being deliciously seasoned and piled so fat you can't eat it like a taco the gyro came out in less time than it took me to run to the latrine to wash my hands. Wish I normally had this route (my beaverton guy is on his honeymoon) I would eat this everyday. Trying to think if there is a way to order just the ingredients and eat it later. I love Gyro 2 Go also, however the Gyro House is by far the best. Wish they had one close to my shop. Instead I'll just wait for guys to be on vacation or sick and make a run to this place. Maybe they should offer a package with ingredients for a dozen of these delectable treats vacuum sealed so I can eat one everyday. Other folks inside were eating some of their sides (salads and hummus style) I see no reason to do that because I am in a rush like the UPS guy and it is enough in that $6.49 to get me going through the day. EXPAND PLEASE! Alex from Gopher Patrol
(5)Jonathan D.
We have eaten here several times and the votes are in! We love this place. It's the complete package. Friendly staff, ample seating, however does get packed in the evening, so you may want to make reservations, although waits aren't too bad. They offer take out too, The Gyro is huge, and an awesome value for the price. The appetizers are a must and are an outstanding value too! Please try the house fries with feta and the spiced sauce. To add another dimension to their already intriguing menu, they offer a wood fired pizza too. Pinch me! As to further add to this culinary adventure, the house made Baklava, it's out of this world and a must. Get some to go; guard it with all of your heart because it won't last long since someone will raid the fridge for it. The decor is beautiful and pays homage to its worldly heritage and the lovely placed tapestries hang from the rafters teasing you to dream of distant market places and oasis from afar. Super clean and spot on! Please do yourself a favor and bring your appetite because you'll need it.
(5)Steph C.
Very good lamb gyro! Yum!
(5)Lebra B.
Growing up in Chicago I've had my fair share of gyro. This place didn't disappoint me at all. I had the gyro with the spicey sauce and feta cheese, with a side off fries to go. The gyro was packed with meat... I got the lamb and it was one of the best gyros I've had in a while. The sauce was very tasty also. I will be back for sure and try the chicken gyros.
(4)Gabe G.
Yummmm. This place is amazing. Best and biggest Gyro I have ever had. The garlic sauce and feta definitely make the gyro. The feta and spicy sauce fries are a must have as well. Great family run place, great prices. Try the baklava as well. It's great too.
(5)Chris L.
I was totally blown away that such a little gem could be hidden in such an otherwise mediocre stripmall! The staff is friendly and willing to give suggestions based on your tastes. This is a very casual sit down place, so its good for any occasion. Ordered: -The baba ghannouj side plate - amazing flavor with smokiness to the finish, some of the best I've had before, and pita slices (their pita is buttery and has a slightly crisp exterior with a soft inside) -grilled chicken gyro, this one was huge! easily enough for two to split, as it was overloaded with strips of grilled chicken, along with the requisite cucumbers, tomato and lettuce. make sure to get the SPICY GARLIC sauce! your breath will reek but it will be worth it. feta cheese is $0.50 extra, but I think that might take away from the savory flavor of the gyro alone. -the hummous here is decent but i felt it was a bit too creamy in texture. the flavor was good, but it just felt too airy for my tastes. -tabouleh- very fresh and cool, loaded with garlic, and with just the right hint of tartness. i think this is a vital side to accompany any Mediterranean dish! **next time will be a kabob plate (all kabobs take 15mins), which I didn't have time for on my last visit. if you're in the Hillsboro area, make this your first stop for some Medit. food before anywhere else!
(4)Carrie K.
I went to this place awhile back at the suggestion of my sister. She was raving how great the food was, how great and friendly the staff was and the darned spicy garlic sauce and feta on the potato fries. So I had to try for myself. We had a family outing consisting of me, my brother, my mom, and my sister. I ordered the lamb and beef gyros and we shared the infamous potato fries complete with spicy garlic sauce and feta...I still dream about the day I will have this combination again! LOL, which actually is today...which is why I am writing this. The gyros I ordered was delicious as well and I cannot wait to have it again. I plan on trying other things too but for now, I think I am happy with this combination. =) Delicious food, great portions and great staff. Love this place!
(4)Jeff W.
One of my favorite things ever is when my wife calls me at work and suggests I pick up food from Gyro House on my way home for dinner. Not only is the delicious grub I bring home the perfect finish to a busy day for me and my wife, but the guys at Gyro House always take such good care of you. Rarely is the wait more than a few minutes, despite the size of the order. Do yourself a fvor: go to Gyro House soon!
(4)Tim L.
You better be hungry if you order a Gyro. They make a great gyro that will challenge your ability to keep it together while your eating it. Excellent food and value!
(5)Traci D.
Tonight was our first time eating here and it was a great find! Service was fast, food was so good, and I can eat their pita bread for every meal. We will be back to explore the menu!
(5)Patricia S.
I've been here twice now, & will certainly keep coming back!! The place is somewhat of a "hole-in-the-wall" type place. If you're not looking for it, you might miss it, but it's definitely a great find. Somewhat of a small place & I hear it gets busy so come early or at non peak hours! Food is AMAZING. Portions are VERY generous. The food is legit. Nothing crazy Americanized or toned down, just good old fashioned, homestyle Mediterranean food (believe me, I'm SUPER picky when it comes to this stuff).The staff is definitely friendly & helpful. Service was great. So far I've ordered the kabob combo, the lamb gyro plate & the chips with the spicy garlic sauce & feta cheese. The chips w/ sauce & cheese would be the most amazing, mind-blowing drunk food. Whomever thought of this is a genius, well deserving of a Nobel Prize. Tzatizki sauce is AMAZING. I would totally buy bottles of this stuff & smother EVERYTHING in it. I only wish I lived in Beaverton so I could come here every weekend.
(5)R B.
They know how to pack a Gyro, I usually go for the lamb Gyro it its a best in Washington county , putting a certain mad Greek claim to shame or as a sham. The put in a lot of meat, a sandwich alone will fill up and average person.
(4)Kai L.
my FAVORITE place to eat in the whole world!! The gyros are DELICIOUS!!
(5)Barbara P.
Tried this place based on Yelp reviews. The Gyro with spicy garlic sauce is OUTSTANDING, best I have had. Ordered the hummus and it's a meal in itself and I'm now hooked and let's not forget the homemade Pita bread, what more can I say try it you'll love it! Highly recommended, will definitely be returning.
(5)Jaci S.
The Lamb Gyro ROCKED...the sauce is a terrific blend of spicy and sweet....and the Baklava - OMG drippingly delicious! A must try~! Friendly and attentive staff but not intrusive makes this a great place to visit!
(5)Rick H.
The Gyros are good and the portions are generous. The Turkish coffee is awesome. It's fun to watch the staff interact. You can tell they are family.
(3)Kevin H.
The food might be good, but the service is horrible. Came in 20 min prior to closing and the person who looks like the manager asks me "To go? We close in 10 minutes." I can easily finish eating and get out within 20 minutes but he only cared about closing on time. Asked him a question about an item on the menu and he was very impatient. He then also throws the credit card on the counter after swiping. This kind of service ruins the experience no matter how good everything else is.
(2)Ali K.
Great food, large servings, good prices and a pleasant atmosphere.

Whenever we wanted good Lebanese food, we'd drive all the way across town to Nicholas's, returning home with a ginormous bag of food that would last for at supper and at least a couple of lunches. Scouting for a new lunch date to surprise the Mr, I found this unassuming, strip-mall restaurant with great reviews. I decided to give them a test drive on a busy night; called in my order to be ready at 5PM, went to an appointment, then picked up the food at 5.05PM. By the time I got home 10 minutes later, the food was still surprisingly warm. The food - oh, the food. Quite possibly the best baba ghanouj I have ever had (sorry, Nicholas). It has a deep, smoky taste that makes you want to order another bowl! I ordered: Veggie Mezza Plate - hummus, baba ghanouj, tabouleh, falafel, dolma, pita bread (so we could try a little of everything) Chicken Schawarma plate - delicious! The portion was huge, but Mr was glad to help Two gyros - one chicken, one lamb - the reviews are right: these things are HUGE. A burger & fries for the picky eater - the fries were yummy, picky reports the burger as "nom-nom" (boy for awesome) We went for a lunch date the next week - Mr let me do the ordering, and I chose the veggie mezza plate (wanted me some dolma!), chicken schawarama and chicken kebobs. In hindsight, I would have ordered two chicken kebob plates - the chicken was tender and tasty, came with rice and not too much tabouleh. I'm not an onion fan & the red onion in the tabouleh was a bit overpowering. The falafels were just right - not too "deep-fried" or too dry. LOVED the spicy garlic sauce (it really isn't "spicy," just garlickey, and perfect for dipping falafel, chicken pieces, etc.). Again not an onion fan, I ignored the Greek salad - it's heavy on the red onion. The food was just as delicious this time around (though I will say that I don't like cold doma - the ones we got in the takeout were warm, the ones served in the restaurant were chilled) and the staff was attentive and courteous, if a bit slow. The restaurant part is tiny, so there was a lot of noise - a group of Intel guys sat at the table next to us and had a rather loud conversation about a new tool. (yes, I know.) We arrived at around 11.30 to find the place about half full; by the time we finished our meal at around noon, there was a line out the door! We had enough leftovers for dinner for the two of us that night (with the teen snagging one of the kebobs & a generous helping of rice). We live less than 2 miles from Mad Greek Deli (*amazing* sandwiches, seriously - try the Mt Olympus); in order of Greek/Med/Lebanese food, I'd have to list Gyro House, Nicholas and Mad Greek in order. (Gyro House for the taste, Nicholas for value & quantity, Mad Greek for the sandwiches & attitude - being yelled at by a mad Greek is actually quite fun!) There's another one in downtown PDX that I just heard about and will have to try them soon, though I've heard the portions aren't as generous.
(4)David A.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. The lamb gyro is tender and very tasty. The pita is hot and the hummus is smooth and creamy. Literally the best hummus I've ever had. And to finish off the meal an order of baklava is sweet and delicious! Definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Mediterranean food or anyone looking to try something new.
(5)Ta-na W.
Just the best place for you to get your quick fix of Greek food!!! Staff is great! Even if you dine in or take out the attention that you get is great! Oh and the food is excellent :) they have a really great chicken shawarma and a fabulous hummus plate:)
(5)Stuart H.
Finally, a real Greek food place in Hillsboro that knows how food is done right. No "Greek Soggy Fries" or nor do you have to pay for a sauce that should already come with it. Nope not here! Here it's just simple & delicious. This place was 3 different pizza joints before, none of them lasted more then 6 months. The Gyro House will be here a long time and it's just around the corner from my house. Welcome to the neighborhood!
(4)Jerry C.
Fantastic Baba Ganouj, and,the spicy garlic gyro sauce was amazing! I went here on the recommendation from a friend, and I will be bringing my team here soon. The portions are huge, and the price is very reasonable.
(5)S C.
The lamb gyro was mouth watering !!
(5)Nicole B.
Fantastic food and amazing staff! They are very friendly and love giving you samples. They encourage you to try many items on the menu and so far I've only had the lamb gyro but it's definitely the best one yet! I definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
(5)Megan M.
If I knew what it was like to eat a gyro in Greece, I would believe it would be something close to these delicious treats! This place has the best flavor and style to their food, along with great prices! The staff is wonderful and you must must must try the kibbah, falafel, lamb gyro and baklavah (not necessarily in that order but DO IT!). Thanks Gyro House for bringing a great restaurant to this side of town and bringing all other gyros to shame :)
(5)Rob M.
I've never had better hummus. And the gyro is huge with perfectly spiced meat. This is probably the best Greek/Mediterranean style food I've ever had. Pro tip: the chicken and hummus plate on the appetizer menu is easily a whole meal at a very modest price. One downside is that it is stupid busy at lunch. This should be alleviated once they are done expanding but, for now, it can be difficult to get a table with everyone else is a 5 mile radius descending upon the Gyro House.
(5)Troy D.
Sweet mercy from Mediterranean heaven....this place is fantastic. First things first...BEST GYROS IN THE ENTIRE STATE! Prove me wrong. The owner is a great stand up guy. We go here as often as our bowels allow. The gyros, oh the gyros!!!!! Both the lamb and the chicken are phenomenal. The coin style fries are great. It's mandatory you get feta and garlic sauce on both the gyro and fries. That garlic sauce, I would have it run in my veins if I could, keep gallons in storage, and drink it for strength. The hummus may be the best we have ever had. People got their panties in a bunch they weren't making their own pitas. Well, they saw the reviews and listened to the customer. Now grandma is making them by hand in front of a brick oven right in front your eyes you comi bastards. Really though they are wonderful, and nana we love you dearly. One word to the wise, the portions are very large. Prepare yourselves for a gut bomb and a smell that will cling to you until your next spa appointment.
(5)Ka'imi L.
Best Mediterranean food I've had in awhile. These people do not screw around. After hearing about the amazing reviews on Yelp, I just had to check this place out. The restaurant is like a cafe, very casual and unassuming. We walked in and the waitress greeted us immediately. Not a lot of people eating here on a Friday night, which in my opinion is a good thing. I hate dealing with crowds. They have awesome vegetarian options, a major plus. And the food was very delicious. I ordered the Kafta Gyro, a very meaty wrap sandwich that was super good. My partner had the veggie plate, which he adored. Service could use some improvement, but because Gyro House is so relaxed I really couldn't care less. I mean our whole meal, appetizers, entrees, and dessert came out to $30. Not bad at all. Definitely a must-try if you're in Hillsboro. It's worth it!
(5)Jayson C.
Omg! Best gyros in the galaxy. This human has had his experience of hummus, and this tops the charts. Be patient. They aren't super speedy but it's worth the wait.
(5)John G.
The best gyro I've had in Oregon, the biggest portion, and the best price! Clean, flavorful, crisp, and fresh. For a $6 gyro you get more than you can handle but its so good I almost always force myself to finish it. Also go with the feta and spicy garlic to top it off. It's delicious. I've had about half the menu so far and have not been disappointed once. I also recommend the pizzas. I usually get one to take home for the next day and reheats beautifully. Whatever you're Mediterranean fancy might be, they have it for you. I always make an excuse to come here and will keep doing so.
(5)Briana T.
O.M.G. I just ate the best gyro that I've ever had. I ordered the falafel sandwich with hummus. The portion was huge for the price. I definitely felt like I got more than my money's worth. I definitely need to go back and try more things on their expansive menu! Now on to their service. This is a sort of sit-down, but fast food style restaurant. When you enter, you have to wait to be seated. As soon as you are seated, your waiter will come up to get your drink orders and if appetizers if you want. Our waiter was very friendly and took our drink orders and had our order to our table very promptly. We then placed our orders for our meal. Within 5 or so minutes our order was ready. Our waiter checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was okay and made sure our drinks never ran out. Afterwards, you would have to go to the counter to pay for your meal. Our service was pretty good, however I heard if you go during peak lunch or dinner hours, it will take forever to get seats and get your order, so make sure you plan ahead! Overall, i had a great experience, I am definitely going back. :)
(5)Megan Y.
My boyfriend's house is a one minute drive away from this restaurant so we finally decided to try it one night. We looked at their online menu (super easy to navigate through) and called them to make a takeout order, which truly was ready in the 15 minutes that we were told it would take. The gentleman who rang us up was extremely friendly and funny. Now for the food. The portions are HUGE. You definitely get your moneys worth when you come here. We ordered the falafel plate appetizer, a small order of fries, a lamb gyro and a hummus bi-lahmah sandwich. The gyro and sandwich tasted great, but it was a little difficult to eat because there was just so much food. I wouldn't say that this was the best gyro I've ever had, but I was satisfied with my meal. If we ever return to Gyro House, it would be because of the convenience of the location and a craving for gyros. We definitely would order less food next time, though.
(4)Lea B.
This was, hands down, the best gyro I have ever had in my life. Seriously one of my new favorite foods. If this place was in downtown Portland they would have a line out the door, and be charging twice as much. I will be back many times, I'm sure! :)
(5)Kimberly M.
The food is great, however that doesn't make up for the awful service. The way women seem to be treated by the staff is unacceptable, you shouldn't leave a place you ate at angry because people were so rude to you. Don't brush people off, flip your hands in their face, or call them by pet names. Your customers are your livelihood and if you can't treat them right they will not come back.
(1)Rob P.
7/22/15 Just finished dinner there with wife and a friend. If you like Mediterranean food - - this is the place. Not elegant setting but adequate. The food is VERY FRESH - best Pita bread I've ever eaten. It was fresh from a fire oven. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The service was VERY GOOD. We will return !
(4)Laura C.
I've tried hummus from many places, many types. Hands down, best hummus I've ever had! The pita bread is served fresh from the pizza oven -- absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I have had the gyros, pizza and skewers, and never been disappointed.
(5)An S.
This place is a little gem! I love the simple, 'home-cooked' quality of this restaurant and we are huge fans of this place. Despite its name, Gyro House has a vegetarian/vegan friendly menu. So we always have a lot of options. My personal favorites are the falafel sandwich and the fries with garlic sauce. Yup, the Baklava is their masterpiece. But their other desserts are delicious too. Try the coconut cake and the Jalebi. The portions are large and can easily feed about 2 people. The owner is really hands-on and awesome to his customers. Prices are reasonable and the food is worth every penny.
(5)Sean M.
Sweet geezus this place is good! Chicken gyro with spicy garlic sauce is bomb diggity. Taziki sauce is great too. Also had the baba ganush and it was spectacular. I think they might cook with crack.... I will be back.
(5)Kordell P.
Best hummus I have ever had. Amazing lamb gyro.
(5)Bla F.
Excellent fresh food! Big portions and great prizes. Highly recommended!
(5)Karena G.
Read the reviews if you must. They're great, I agree with all the support they give and all the compliments ... they're all true! But, really, all you have to do is go and try it just once ... you will be hooked for life.
(5)B F.
This place gets the 4 stars for its pita bread. It was the softest, tastiest, best pita bread I have ever had. We ordered hummus and lamb gyros. They gave us a ton of hummus and lonely one pita bread. The waiter informed us there would be a large amount of hummus that would require more pita bread, but this was too much. We actually took the hummus home and bought some more pita bread at home. It lasted two days. The gyros were good and big. We also took half of ours to go. I'm not really a fan of that spicy sauce because it was different to what I've had before and unexpected. Overall, the food was good, but the pita was great!

even though it's quite the jaunt from my hood, i decided to give this place a try after reading all the good reviews and not wanting to go downtown for aybla grill. i figured this place has a parking lot and i can go to target after, so what the heck. It seems kinda weird for a place like this (cheap, next to a nail joint, in a strip mall) to have table service. Don't get me wrong, the service is fine, its just that this is a small joint in a strip mall where ordering at the counter would not only suffice but would seem more congruous. here's the rundown of dishes i've had on my various visits. lamb/beef gyro sandwich ($5.99) - this is the same yummy meat that any gyro joint worth trying is using and they do give you a good-sized portion. comes with shredded iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, tzatziki, onions, pickles and feta (if you want it) gyro plate ($10.99) - same meat as before only with a side salad and basmati rice and tahini. i don't like tahini so much, so i subbed out tzatziki instead. the side salad appears to be a smaller version of their greek salad, consisting of shredded iceberg, olives, tomatoes, cukes, onions and tzatiki, and was over all pretty bland and in need of seasonings. the meat was hot off the rotisserie, but they did not take the extra step to throw it on the grill and crisp it up a little and that would have really helped. that step takes just a few minutes and the crispy edges of the meat are so worth it! oh wells. i was expecting the rice to be just plain basmati, but it wasn't. over seasoned with cumin and curry, i found the rice to be fairly spicy and not worth the calories. keeping in mind that the plate is $5 more than the sandwich i would never get the plate again. it was the same amount of meat and veg as in the sandwich, just without yummy bread and with yucky rice. side of hummus with pita bread ($2.99) - this is the jewel of the menu. they hide it over in the expensive plates section, hoping you won't see it and will opt for the more expensive app portion instead. the hummus is very good - super creamy with just the right amount of tahini. my only complaint is it was drowning in olive oil. i can see putting a little on the top, as i know many restaurants do this, but the whole dish was covered with oil. next time i will ask them just to leave it off, especially since i know how much they must be putting in the hummus to get it that creamy in the first place. also, the bread is just ok and definitely NOT made in-house. fatoush salad ($5.99) - this is one of the worst fatoush salads i have ever had. shredded iceberg lettuce, really? and the dressing of plain lemon juice and olive oil was pretty flavorless. it was such a disappointment since fatoush is usually one of my favorite salads to get whenever i go for lebanese food in detroit. le sigh. baklava ($2.99) - you get a big piece for $2.99. it has lots of nuts and is plenty sweet, but tastes as though they are using a cheap honey. i say that because it tastes more like syrup than honey and a lot of cheap honeys use corn syrup or sugar syrup as a filler. bottom line: stick to the dips and sandwiches and you should be just fine. next time i go, i am going to try a chicken dish to see how that sizes up. i'll let you know how it works out.

My fiance and I stopped in for your firsttime lastnight. We were going to get it to go but the owner talked us into sitting down and relaxing at their restaurant. I can't explain how happy we were that we did. After having dinner lastnight we came back and had lunch there today. Once again I am feeling great about the decision. -Staff is amazing. All super friendly and very helpful. -Service is excellent very fast and everything is extremely clean. Family owned and family loved, you can tell. -The food is AMAZING. Gyro's the size of a small childs arm. Greek Salad with chicken on top is awsome and do yourself a favor and get some fries with garlic sauce. - Prices are great.
(5)Megan E.
Absolutely fantastic! So tasty! And, the staff was excellent - warm, welcoming and funny. It's Thursday and we're planning on going back for Sunday dinner! Oh my gosh, so good!
(5)Joan D.
There is outdoor seating at this above average Gyro restaurant. They are accommodating - my hubby and I are on low carb regimen and they will sub salad for rice. Their Gyro meat is the BEST!! Service is good - sometimes a little slow during lunch because they are so BUSY - good food attracts a crowd. Their Turkish Coffee is something my hubby likes. You'll need to ask for a credit card receipt, but other than that.... you can't beat the taste!
(4)Lindsay A.
I have to say I had really high expectations since i just got back from Greece a couple months ago, but they just opened today (12/13/10) and I have to say they were pretty good. I ordered the Lamb gyro and it was very tasty. The renovation looked great and everything looked clean. I will defiantly come back!!
(5)RJ P.
The lamb gyros are the best. Order it with the spicy garlic sauce.
(5)Lisa M.
Our experience was very good. I enjoyed everything I ate, and had the feeling that everything was very fresh. We did need to order extra bread with the hummus. It would be nice if they provided more bread, but the bread was so hot and fresh that it was almost too hot to eat (so it was very yummy). The hummus is very smooth and creamy. My alacart Gyro was more food than I could consume, having had one falafel and some hummus (shared with three others at our table). Most of the serving sizes were generous, so I'm not sure why they skimp on the hummus bread??? For kids who are unaccustomed to middle eastern spices, the hummus, falafel or kava was plain enough to be liked, and the chicken kabob meat was liked, but not the accompaniments: the kids rejected the other foods. The rice is very flavorful: adults enjoyed it, but kids did not. The rice pudding is flavored with orange flower, and so is very fragrant. I LOVED it, my husband didn't like it at all. The other people we were with all loved it, including the kids. So my husband was very outnumbered on that one.The atmosphere is very clean, casual, stripmall-like, kind of plain, but the photos of middle eastern locations were interesting. When you're done eating, you go up to the counter for the check, FYI. I would highly recommend this place, and it is sure to be a new favorite.
(4)Amy H.
Love! The hummus is amazing and so smooth and creamy. The gyro was fantastic with the garlic sauce. My kids loved the hummus and gyro meat as well. Happy to find such a great Med. place nearby.
(5)Jennifer S.
Living in Hillsboro means having to drive a ways for a good, non-chain restaurant experience a lot of times, but, I will never go across town to Nicholas and wait for a spot again, no need, Gyro House is 5 minutes from me and has amazing food, good values, plenty of space and prompt friendly service. I've been to Gyro House twice now, both times it was fantastic! First time had the lamb gyro with feta added. The lamb was abundant and super delicious, the pita was warm and fresh too. Today we started with a hummus plate-lordy, their hummus is amazing!!! Had a greek salad topped with chicken gyro meat, excellent choice too. It was very fresh, and a good size for the price. My hubby had a lamb gyro with spicy sauce added-I will definitely have the spicy sauce next time I go, which will probably be soon, because this place is so delicious!!!! They just expanded or remodeled their dining room, it's very open and light. Looking forward to trying more of their excellent food. Check them out!
(5)Dante D.
this place is so delicious!!! they are a family run business and the guys are so nice! every time we've been in they give 100%. the food is excellent quality with super generous portions. we want these guys to stay in business forever!!! thanks!
(5)Ralph L.
Tabouli Salad was fantastic. Fresh and full of vegetables. Gyro chicken was so well seasoned. It was a delight. The falafel sandwich was another treat. Great service.
(5)Amy M.
great gyro meat, good portions, good appetizers.
(4)Jin C.
went back couple more times (or, was it thrice?) and had their veggie platter and lamb gyro. both are good. my wife's favorite, chicken kabob, is consistenly good (moist!). would recommend if you are in the area.

I'm originally from England where gyros (or as a Brit would say, Kebab) are a very familiar thing. Since I moved to Oregon 8 years ago I have tried to find a really great place for gyros. Today my husband and I went to Gyro house and ordered two lamb gyros and a chicken skewer and fries for our son. We added the garlic sauce AND the feta to our gyros. When we got our food, they had mistakenly given us chicken gyros instead of lamb but my husband and I were STARVING and decided to roll with it. It was easily the BEST gyro I have ever had. Maybe it's the garlic sauce and the feta but oh-my-gawd they were fantastic. The round fries were great too and my son feasted nicely on his chicken skewer. The food was so good that I didn't even care about getting chicken over the lamb... I just wanted to keep eating. Needless to say, we left feeling like we ate entirely too much food and raving about how amazing the food was. As well as great food, the staff are super friendly and welcoming. This will be our new spot from now on.
(5)Binicorn S.
Meh. Was ok. The proportions are too big. Would like a smaller gyro for a better price. I don't need an $8 gyro that feeds 2.

"Thank you my dear" is what all the men of this place say to any female that walks through their doors and the first time I heard it I thought it was a gimmick but really it's how they treat their female patrons and it's just so funny. We found this place by accident. We were looking for something "different" ( aren't we all? ). We were running errands on a Saturday and were just tired of the same old haunts that had become our favorites. So I began to flip through yelp looking for Mediterranean food, great food, gyros, hummus etc... And found this place. We decided to try it. WOW. The place is in a strip mall which I admit made me wrinkle my nose a bit. However, when I walked in the first thing that hit my senses was the smell of this amazing freshly baked pita bread - I changed my mind in a hurry. It's one of the most delicious smells that you will never forget and this place oozes of it. I think the restaurant is run by a couple of brothers - it is a family affair. (What we found in endearing was the yelling going on in the kitchen when things were busy :) "Chadi" was our server and we found him so helpful and funny. He explained the dishes we had questions about and suggested we start with hummus and freshly baked pita bread. We took his advice and were delighted we did. The hummus came out along with piping hot pita bread. I have eaten hummus all over the United States and my husband has eaten hummus all over the globe and this hands-down was the best hummus we have ever had - EVER. They warn you about how hot the bread is and they are not kidding it is piping piping hot- steam wafts from the pita pocket when you break it open. The hummus is silky smooth with a delicate flavor - I've just never had hummus like this before. I wanted more and more and more. Thank goodness they sell it to go. I ordered their lentil soup which is served with a wedge of lemon that you drizzle over the bowl and it's just simply delicious. Again all of the flavors are married together perfectly in this wonderful bowl of loveliness that left me wanting to go back for seconds. Perfect comfort food. Our party ordered a variety of dishes and we began with lamb Gyros of course - I'm just warning you they are huge. Two people could share them because they are just that big. We also tried their kabobs and Chicken Shawarma- perfect! The lamb was tender, flavorful and amazing. The Shawarma have the perfect amount of curry and was garlicky with just a hint of lemon - it was blissful. There was a lot of food sharing going on at our large table and it was just a great experience. We ended up the meal with Turkish coffee and baklava. Again they did not disappoint - it was just wonderful all the way around. A few kind of funny things- remember your table number. You will need it when you walk up to the counter and pay your tab. The guy who sits perched on the barstool who runs the cash register can seem a little crabby but really he's nice - but he will want your table number. And he will chide you if you don't remember it:) If you order extra bread - don't do it we did. When we ordered extra bread we thought we were ordering one or two extra pieces of pita bread but we were brought baskets! We were inundated by bread:) so remember when you order it's by the basket not the piece. And ladies don't be offended by "My dear" truly its sincere and genuine even if it sounds a little funny!

First time here, I ordered the chicken shawarma gyro with feta and the spicy garlic sauce. It was delicious but unexpected, why? The chicken was a yellow color, meaning the marinade had curry or turmeric in it. Let me elaborate: I eat chicken shawarma about 10x+/month, why would I subject myself to this? A) It's delicious so why not? And more importantly, B) My husband is Lebanese, so kinda comes with the territory. That being said, all the chicken shawarma I have ever eaten has had a decidedly Lebanese flair, which means the chicken has a normal, whitish color with a light to dark brown tan from the spices (allspice, cumin, etc). At first I thought they had mistaken my order but oh no, it was indeed correct. According to the menu, it says the chicken is marinated in a lemon sauce. The resulting flavor is tasty, but threw me for a loop in what I had always thought was standard for chicken shawarma. For this unexpected shock to my late lunch, I give 3.5 stars. I hope to raise my rating after a second visit. They do have lahm b'agin that I hope to try. I suppose that's what I get for going against the many, many, MANY recommendations for the LAMB Gyro! Oh and btw, I paid with Amex. Zahair, whom I suspect is the owner, told me he would take my card no problem. So not sure if he was being generous because it was my first visit or if their policy has changed.
(3)Samuel L.
Finally found it. This is the best Gyro I've ever had. Now you have to open one in Vancouver please.
(5)Allison R.
Umm. yeah! Best Gyro in Oregon. This thing was huge and the meat portion was not skimpy. Definitely add the spicy sauce and feta. The gyro itself is cheap, $5.99, that's nothing! You get your money's worth with the size of that bad boy. I went with the Lamb. Lamb is my fav. I tried a piece of the chicken from my friend's and the seasoning was similar to lemon pepper. Delish. I'd still order a lamb gyro next time though. I also ordered the potato fried chips. The small size was plenty. Not sure how I was able to eat all of the food, but I polished it off. I like food. Customer service could be a tad better. But when I was there last, they were extremely busy. So I cant fault them for being stressed the F out. I would probably be a raging bitch if I worked in a place with this environment. HA!
(5)Julie S.
We ate there tonight- food was quite good- the lamb gyro was very good and I brought half home. My husband custom ordered a meal and they got it spot on. But the environment is not too pleasant. It's very noisy and the air conditioning was so high we were freezing. I even went out to see if I had a jacket in the car. We mentioned the high AC to an asst manager who didn't seem to understand. He said "Yeah, it's getting colder outside". No, it was warm out but the room was refrigerated. He's behind the counter with the hot pizza oven so I'm sure he was very comfortable. I hope it's more pleasant once they expand.
(3)Darin B.
Visiting from San Diego. Very happy to have found this place. Busy lunch crowd but the wait was quick. The food was outstanding. From the hummus and pita appetizer to the gyro sandwich which was delicious. The prices were reasonable as well.
(5)Sara T.
The boyfriend and I happened across this place on Yelp when I was in town for an interview and we needed a quick lunch before I left for my interview. I am SOOOOOO impressed with them and can't WAIT to go back! It really says something when a place opens at 11am and they are PACKED by 11:30am. We each got a Jumbo Gyro Sandwich with Garlic Dip (only $6.99 and it's HUGE), Greek Fries with Feta and Garlic Dip (on the side), and a couple of pieces of Baklava. The gyro was the best gyro I've had since I worked for a Greek restaurant owner back in Michigan MANY MANY years ago. It was so delicious but so filling that I only ate about half of it before my interview. The Garlic Dip sauce they have was AMAZING on it. The Greek Fries with Feta and Garlic Dip were also just amazing! My only complaint would be that the feta wasn't really melted, but I don't think feta ever really melts completely. :) The garlic dip sauce is a bit spicy for people like me that are sensitive to spice, but it's one of those things that the taste is WELL worth the heat. The baklava. OMG. The baklava. It was the best baklava I've had...EVER. It was a perfect combination of all the ingredients and wasn't completely dried like some baklava can get. Long story short: The next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be going back. Best part about it? The entire bill was like $25. Super inexpensive and GREAT food.
(5)Jeff K.
BEST GYRO ON THE PLANET! Everything on the menu is AMAZING. It's what keeps us coming back. Thank you for the great hospitality.
(5)Imran K.
Quick service and excellent good. I ordered hummus plate and chicken kabob plate. Will definitely come here again when in town.
(5)Ashaba C.
My family and I absolutely love this place! Every dish we have tried has been really delicious and the portions are great for the price. This is probably the best gyro place in all of Oregon!
(5)Trina S.
Went in again...STILL the Best, Lamb Gyro I've ever had. Did I say EVER!!... Huge, huge, and the price is right!! Never been a fan of Lamb gyro...their's however is a mixture of Lamb and Beef...It will change your mind..it did mine!! Must have with the feta cheese and the sauce. They will be doubling the restaurant size...which is great, because it can get packed! The pita bread is made to order (hot) along with the hummus...mouth watering!!! Highly recommend... so good!
(5)Kirk M.
Service was good. Place looked clean. Tabouli was salty, which was odd, and didn't feel chilled, was room temp. Lots of stems. Falafel sandwich with hummus was uncontrollably sloppy with a ridiculous amount of hummus saturating everything, rendering the sandwich generally unpleasant. More is not always better. All in all, pretty ordinary dining experience.
(2)Gohar S.
Wife was out of town and was in the mood for a gyro and decided to try Gyro House per the reviews instead of my go to slot. It wasn't very busy yet it took a couple minutes for them to seat me....not a big deal, but was surprised since there was 80% seats available and staff was just hanging out vs. Working. After I was seated, the time to order or wasn't too bad, bout normal I guess. The food came out almost immediately! I was pretty shocked they could make it that fast. After I took my first bite I realized it has sat there a while, and wasn't fresh, warm at best....not hot. Tried to waive the waitress down but she nor anyone else came by. Was too tired after working all day and simply ate the horrible gyro and then left. When you go upto tobpay, the cashier asked if all I has was a gyro and I said yes, then asked if I wanted to buy anything else. Didn't care to ask how the gyro was or if I enjoyed the meal. Simply pay me and buy more and leave. Definitely not looking to go here anytime soon!! Cold food and very subpar service with higher than normal prices for the quality of food.

There are different variations of "Mediterranean" food. I used to work at two different medit restaurants, one owned by Syrian/Armenians, the other Lebanese. If you have ever wondered why some places are delicious and others not so much, this could be why. I recently moved from Cali to Oregon and having had my fair share of Mediterranean food, I am pretty much obsessed with it. I was excited to try new places in and around Portland and was unpleasantly surprised every time. Most are halal style, Egyptian, and/or Indian using Curry for the pilaf and meat. If I wanted curry, I would do Indian or Thai food. My favorite variation is Lebanese. I love the spices and the style of chicken. Anyway, I was referred by someone to check out this place and I am so glad I did because this came the closest to flavor other than an actual strictly Leb place. The food is delicious! I've only ordered Togo since I am always on the run, but every time I am very happy. The first order was the chicken shawarma plate that came with salad, and chicken shawarma over rice. The rice has improved since my last review. It's great! I've also tried their hummus which is seriously out of this world. Their samosa was decent and their kabobs are really good! I give this place five stars. The menu on yelp doesn't seem to match. The interior looks nice. Nothing fancy but definitely decent. I've only come in contact with the guy working the cash register but he's really nice! Staff seems friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. One of my new faves for sure.
(5)Brittany H.
One of my good friends recommended this place to me so my friend and I decided to check it out and let's just say that we were beyond happy that we went and will definitely be returning. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. I had the Lamb Gyro and he ordered the Chicken Gyro, both were absolutely amazing. Seasoned to perfection, not too much and not too little, just right! It's a family owned business so be sure to check it out if you're ever in the area. I will be returning for seconds after the holidays. :-)
(4)Peter B.
First time diner. Authentic flavor (I had the Schawarma salad. My wife had the Chicken Gyro). Large portions. Very attentive service. Quick service. I found many other items I would like to try during future visits. Prices are more than fair.
(5)Woo K.
Craving something delicious? Go here. Craving something during that time of the month? Go here. Craving something on all other days? Go here. Craving something, something something? Go here. I'm pretty ecstatic that there's a good gyro house around town, because I would have to travel great lengths when I was having a mediterranean craving. AND, I have those very often. Gyro House has a good variety of different foods, although what I mostly order is the Gyro of course (they're HUGE, we usually share), another favorite is the chicken pizza, and the hummus is one of the bests here. The pita is 3D cuz it's got that air pocket in the middle that makes it more exciting to eat. I get amused super easily. ORDER IT! I go here pretty regularly, prices are awesome, and usually great service.
(5)Amy P.
Staff is friendly and accommodating! I enjoy their food every single time I stop by! I love their gyros and their amazing spicy fries! I can't go anywhere else for gyros because this place always wins my heart! They always give huge portions, very worth the price because I can save my food and eat it later! I am so glad their expanding their company's can't wait to go back! I love their salads as well ! Yummy yummy in my tummy!
(5)Angik S.
One of the best restaurants in Hillsboro area.the chicken kebab gyro is amazing and huge. But the thunder here is the dessert called kunafa. It is like a sweet pudding with vermicelli on top. I often return just for the kunafa
(5)Jeff L.
Oh my what amazing food!!! The crew is polite and the gyros are the best I've ever had.
(5)S I.
Best. Hummus. Ever. I've eaten Mediterranean food on both sides of the Atlantic and this creamy, light hummus is the best I've ever had. Pitas are made fresh to order. Staff and service were great.
(5)Megan B.
Ordered TOGO and they had my delicious gyro sandwich ready before my credit card payment even went through. It was huge and amazing. I got it with feta and spicy sauce and I will judge other gyros that don't have those two things. Service was fast. Food was wonderful. Will be back.
(5)Cindy M.
Love this place! The portion size of the gyro is huge! I went with my boyfriend and we both got the gyro with lamb and the spicy sauce that is a must! The fries are bomb as well! The staff was very attentive which is why we left a generous tip!
(5)Em B.
I am very happy we stumbled upon this restaurant (thank you YELP)! We get take-away from here once a week and it's always consistent and good. They have a nice menu that makes all of the vegetarians and carnivores in our household happy. AND they have a great children's menu (child-sized portions AND prices)! Overall, you should give this place a try! You will not be disappointed!
(4)Aamir Z.
Ok, the food is awesome - 5 stars. However, the dine-in service is poor - 2 stars. Average = 3.5 stars. I'll round up to 4, cos take-out is pretty quick. The gyros are awesome, as is the hummus and the gyro pizza. The desserts are super sweet, so be forewarned.
(4)Jessie K.
The food here is quite yummy. The gyros and shawarma taste like they did when I traveled to Israel and Jordan as a child. You can read review after review of their delicious and price-conscious menu. They're all true. However, I have to give them only 3 stars because every time I go there, I end up feeling as though they are annoyed with me for some reason. While placing a phone-in order, I was lectured for not being prepared to order when I asked a question about the ingredients in a dish. Sorry, you don't operate an online menu, so how am I supposed to know? While placing another order, I was angrily told they don't offer a Philly cheesesteak pita. Okay, well, there's a menu online attached to your google profile that says you do! I guess that's my fault. While dining in, I was waiting for quite some time for my check, and when I said so, the server told me "I've been busy." No, actually, I saw you, and you weren't busy. You just forgot. After placing an order in the restaurant, and then sitting and waiting for it to go, I watched the gentleman at the counter treat all women with disdain and impatience, and all men as if they were his close friend. Then, I was told to "pay more attention" after he was calling me "Missy" from across the room to tell me my order was ready. My name is not "Missy," call me ma'am if I don't know you. It's manners. Look, I've been a server and a bartender. It's not easy, and it's stressful sometimes. But if you want to make money, you have to be nice to people, or at least fake it believably. You're kidding yourself if you think your crappy attitudes will get you tips, return customers, or consistent high ratings. I keep trying to go here because their food is really good, but I'm sick of the bad service. I guess from now on if I get hungry for a pita, I'll either go somewhere else or send my boyfriend instead. He has a Y chromosome so maybe you'll treat him with respect.
(2)Cheryl D.
I have experienced better, WAY better food than this joint. I have no idea why everyone thinks it is so good, if you want REAL Greek food visit Antonis on Canyon, they have the real deal Greek Food and indeed the best Gyro I have ever eaten, it is a nice soft Pita with delicious meat, Feta Cheese and Tadziki Sauce. I recommend ordering it with the Greek Salad and a side of Ranch. Why Gyro House puts pickles and tomatoes on a Gyro I have no idea (maybe it is Mediterranean VS Greek version).. Their "Spicy Sauce" still tastes like Mayonnaise and the Feta Cheese is ground up too finely. I just don't like it. I tried Falafel for the first time and it was dry and tasteless. Their parking lot is always crowded and parking is at a premium, why bother when you can go to Antonis whom has a large dedicated parking lot, and is family owned and operated.
(2)Jimothy H.
Prices and menu are a bit different than the pictures posted. Great quality and quantity of food when I ordered the chicken gyro. I ordered to go and they got it out to me FAST! I'm looking forward to trying out some of their creative pizza options.
(5)John B.
Most importantly food is awesome and service good but they try hustling you buy extra stuff a little much like there deserts that are not that good at all (my opinion). It reminds me a little of a used car dealership lol
(4)Paul V.
I eat here all the time. At least once a week. I order the same thing: humus di-bajaj with a side of rice. My wife also orders the same thing every time: the chicken gyro.
(5)Britney G.
The food is excellent! The staff could stand to be a bit more attentive and know their ingredients, but they came through in the end.
(4)Derek K.
Super good. Can get very busy for such a small restaurant but they are expanding soon and I'm looking forward to it. The hummus there is unlike any other hummus I've ever had: simple yet flavorful. And don't get me started on the gyro there. For such a cheap price their gyros are massive! I have to split one with my girlfriend every time and even then I'm full.
(5)Tiffany S.
By far the best gyro in town! We eat here at least once a week! Great people, super friendly and awesome prices for the quality of food you are eating!
(5)Rob F.
Excellent Food and Excellent service as always. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.
(5)Evelyn W.
OH MY GOD, best Mediterranean restaurant I have ever been to - ever. First off, the staff is so positive and polite, it makes for a very comfortable eating experience. Second, the portion sizes are huge, delicious and so so worth it cost-wise. I ordered the lamb gyro plate entree, and it's definitely large enough for two meals. The lamb was so tender and well-cooked. Their rice and salad was amazing, too. My boyfriend ordered the lamb gyro and it came with the most amazing sauce, it was massive and delicious and only $6.99! And just like everyone else says, their fries with the spicy sauce and feta cheese - worth the extra $1. It was so so good. Would recommend and definitely going back!
(5)Travis M.
Great Food. Went back a second time for take out.
(4)Laura S.
I love this place. Their pita bread is amazing, their hummus is the best I've had, I love their gyro, especially the lamb. This is the restaurant my husband and I go to for a casual date night. I love that they have take out as well as seated dining. They make their pita bread fresh and you can tell. I also really like the staff there, they're always really polite. I don't really care for their desserts, but that's just me.
(5)Kellie B.
The lamb gyro? .... Awesome!!! Unless you like your food salty, don't add the feta cheese. They were quite busy, (a very good sign), so service was slow. Everyone warm and friendly!
(4)Nancy R.
Gyros as big as yer freaking head!! Lamb so juicy you can't stop eating it. My husband and I come here either to dine in or carry out at least twice a month. The owner is always so friendly and appreciative of your business. My husband loves the jasmine rice and the potato cuts are delish with the dip able spicy garlic sauce. We highly recommend!
(5)Peggy T.
Hadir (forgive me if I misspelled her name), our server, was great. She really took the time to listen to us for our orders and checked in on us.One friend got the chicken shawarma plate and baklava. He thought both were very good. My other friend had a chicken gyro and baklava. He also rated it very good. I had the hummus plate with lamb. All was excellent until the oil congealed in the middle of the plate. I also had some kind of fried bride with honey. I really enjoyed the meal and will probably return when I am in the area again.
(4)Brenda B.
The people who own and run this restaurant are awesome! The are so funny. Their food is superb! Gyros are delicious as well as everything else. Try the Turkish Coffee, the presentation is fun :)

What an awesome find! Huge portions, great taste, clean and roomy interior, friendly and efficient staff, dedicated parking and decent prices to boot. Kicks the pants off of all those half-assed gyro carts that are popping up like roaches in downtown Portland. Go order yourself a lamb or chix gyro for 6.99 and a cheese pizza for 4.99. Place the overflowing meat from the gyro on the cheese pizza and you've got yourself a nice lamb pizza and a regular sized gyro for $12. Enough to feed two adults and then some. Oh, and I normally hate hummus but the Gyro House hummus is actually really good. (the only downside is that they don't provide enough pita bread. Too much hummus to bread ratio. Did i mention they bake fresh pita in their pizza oven? Awesome!) Seriously, go.

I really like their lamb gyros. I think the portion is very good for the price. Also, the lamb is well seasoned and delicious,
(5)Kevin W.
Just has the lamb gyro and I absolutely loved it. The meat is packed with flavor. I only wish this place was in my home town. I'd come here every week

The Gyro House was the first restaurant I tried when I moved to the Quatama area. It had good reviews and did not disappoint. All the dishes seem to be prepared from scratch with fresh ingredients. We had a Mezza plate of appetizers and the babaghanouj was the best I've had, the tabbouleh was good, the falafel was tasty and delightfully light. Hummus was just average but good and the fresh pita bread was warm and satisfying. Since the first night we routinely order takeout weekly and enjoy the salads and entrees. We haven't tried their take on pizzas or their sandwiches but both of those are routinely going out to tables while we wait for our takeout, so they're bound to be good. I highly recommend The Gyro House; if I wasn't a hummus fanatic that was a little underwhelmed by their version, I would have given five stars.

I'm updating right review from several years ago. This place has expanded their menu and their facility. They now make baba ghanouj, and several styles of pizza. The hummus is the best I've ever had. Their gyros are the best I've ever had. Make sure you get the garlic sauce on the gyro. There pita bread comes hot to the touch straight from the oven it's still steaming. I can't say enough positive about this place. If you like hummus baba ghanouj gyros you need to try this place!
(5)Zach W.
Hands down the best Gyro I've ever had. Helps that it's absolutely enormous. It's basically Texas-sized. Tasted both the lamb and chicken one. Would also recommend the hummus appetizer. Everything's fresh and tastes great. One of the best restaurants I've been to.
(5)Travis B.
Friendly fast service and great food for reasonable prices. I can only vouch for the gyro as I've never tried anything else there. Why fix what isn't broken?
(5)Don C.
I'm still eating and had to review this place. Everything is perfect and authentic as hell! Order anything and it will go beyond your expectations. Hummus is perfection and pita is baked to order.
(5)James A.
My favorite spot in Beaverton. The food is really tasty and lots of menu options. The Shwarma plate is bangin. The food is great but it's the service that keeps me coming back. Super efficient even when it's insanely busy, friendly and fast. The manager is always attentive and comes around all the time to make sure everyone is taken care of. Pretty much the best. Also they got gluten free and vegan options to top it all off
(5)Wade N.
Excellent food. I had a Chicken Gyro and it was fantastic. Clean and comfortable. We will be returning.
(4)Michael C.
Great food. Great portions. Great prices. Nice little restaurant. So happy I found this place
(5)Miranda R.
THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. Really. Seriously. I've had gyros in greece and it doesn't even come close to the flavors that this place puts out. The pita and hummus are mind blowing. Pita comes fresh out of the oven. The spicy garlic sauce is life changing. And I want to smother all of my food with it. The service on top of that is top notch. I've never felt more justified leaving a hefty tip as I watched how hard everyone was working there to make sure that their customers were getting seated and served quickly. I go here on my lunch and can be in and out for a sit down meal in 10 mins. And always with plenty of leftovers.
(5)Ashley W.
Pretty good food, but you can't order off the kid's menu, which is a joke. I had bariatric surgery, and the portions are HUGE, which is a good thing for most people. For me, though, it's terrible. The food goes to waste, and I can't even finish half. Even the buffet at Sweet Tomatoes lets me pay the children's price, which is amazing, because the portions are not controlled there! This is really the only reason I gave them 4 stars. If there were more accommodating, it would have been 5. Someone wants to pay you for less food? Why not take it?
(4)She A.
Dear Gyro House, I left a $1 tip for a $11.48 bill. This should total $12.48. You charged my card $13.48. I called to resolve this over the phone. I provided you with the invoice number, 00098, 02/23/15, 15:29:07. You were extremely rude, blaming the error on my bank account. You said there was nothing you could do and that "there was no way the bank could have cleared this yet" In short, you lied. For your education, electronic charges are applied immediately. You did not offer to reimburse my $1. Your ethics are horrible. I will inform every social media review I can find on your store and report my experience with your business practices asap. You still owe me a $1 which you stole from me. You lie and steal from your customers! SHAME ON YOU!
(1)Victor D.
I grew up eating Mediterranean food so this place is pretty close to acquiring the Lebanese taste. Definitely try their zaatar and cheese pizza. Of course on the weekends if you wan to get fat and have crazy sugar rush... Do try their sweets (desserts)
(4)Aaron D.
I have been here multiple times, and every time, I am not disappointed, get extra pita with your hummus plate and the lamb group for each member of the fam, get it spicy, it's about a 3 out of 10, but it's got the flavor
(5)Zach D.
Foods ok. Get the gyro it's worth the money. Other then that it's either over seasoned or bland, and over priced. The whole dinning room was full of smoke from the kitchen. Waitress seemed clueless.
(2)RandyCP U.
Personally I found this place to be good / average but my 3 co-workers hated it and now they won't let me recommend any more restaurants. I'm on a time out. First off I was disciplined by one of the staff. When I first went in the door I grabbed some menus and got in the long line at the cashier to order. "Can't you read? It says "Please wait to be seated!!" OK. Sorry. He escorted us to a table with me feeling sheepish. We ordered hummus ($5), and kibbeh ($9) for appetizers. The hummus was the best I've ever had. We had to order several more pita ($0.55 each), as 2 were not enough. This seemed to disturb the waiter again, who made a show of adding them to our order. The kibbeh was just OK and seemed like they were re-heated from frozen. Not like my grandmother's. I got one of their homemade sodas (sour cherry) ($3) and a couple of people got the yogurt drink ($4), which they both HATED. Salty, not sweet as they expected. For dinner, 2 of us got the lamb shish kabob plate ($12), which were tender and juicy, but WAY salty. I asked to substitute tabouli salad for the Greek salad. This started another argument with the waiter. I offered to pay extra or just to get a side salad ($6). Eventually the waiter settled down and all was good with him again. Another one of us got the kifta kabob plate ($12), which he hated. The fourth guy got the gyro plate ($11), which had large slabs of gyro meat that looked dried up and old. He didn't like it and in fact, he ate very little. The waiter was surprised and quite offended that he didn't finish his meal. More waiter drama. For dessert we got a single Baklava ($3). I liked it and it was huge, perfect for sharing. The others didn't really like it, saying it was too sweet (even though I warned them that it is covered in honey). The final insult was the bill. It was $108 for the four of us, with no alcohol. We all thought that was way high, but the company was paying and I just wanted to escape without another argument. Later I calculated that the total should have been no more than $85, so a 27% overcharge. No itemized receipt was presented to us. Now that I'm done writing and proof-reading my review, i have to lower my rating from 2 stars to 1. Our collective experience was a 1. Again, I found the food good to average (3 to 4 stars), service horrible (minus 3 stars).
(1)nobody j.
oh man, this place is amazing. The gyro is so good, and it's HUGE. I am always served quickly and with enthusiasm. The gyro pizza was interesting, basically tasted just like a gyro, but in the form of a pizza. I enjoy good food at bargain prices, and this is my go-to place, and my favorite restaurant of any kind in all of Hillsboro.
(5)Jim W.
One of the best lamb gyro in Beaverton that I've tried. The chili sauce is wonderful, the price is reasonable, quality and flavor is great. Most important of all, the quantity of the meats is no other gyro sandwich shop can match.
(4)Ramon B.
Took my 15 yr old son here for a late lunch. Found on yelp as we are from out of the area. Both of us ordered the lamb and beef gyro with spicy garlic sauce and feta cheese. They were huge! Overflowing with meat. Garlic sauce is great addition. We barely finished and had already ordered dessert. Baklava with goat cheese very good. The honey balls are extremely rich and decadent. All so very good. Will make a special trip from Keizer to eat here again!
(5)Corey O.
Came here with my brother who says this is one of his favorite spots. We ordered takeout and the gentleman who took our order was extremely helpful and friendly. We ordered lamb gyros and their fries. The lamb was hands down the best I've had. Extremely flavorful and not chewy at all. I don't think meat is supposed to melt in your mouth, but this did. SO GOOD! My only complaint is that there is too much meat in the gyro. Throw some more veggies in there and it would be perfect for me. The fries sadly were mediocre. Next time I visit my brother, I will definitely be back.
(4)Nicole A.
Oh my goodness! I don't think I've even had anything close to Greek food in my 26 years of life, and I'm only realizing this today. By far the best kafta sandwich I've ever had. I kept stealing bites if my husband's plate too because I wanted the taziki sauce. Basically it was amazing and the service was great! We will be back again that is a certainty.
(5)Jennifer M.
Maybe I came on a bad day, but it seemed to be nothing more than a mediocre lunch spot with rude ppl. :(
(3)Yenny W.
Okay, I finally decided to write a review for this place after being their loyal customer for awhile now. I will start with the FOOD, yes..they are awesome! Large sizes, delicious and to die for. I have been going to several different places that sells gyro but nothing satisfy me like this place has. The service? erm....not so much now. Within a few months it seems like they have a couple new people serving, and these new people don't seem to have the quality that the previous ones had. Above all, I would still go for the food and hope that they will give good training to the new guys who's serving the guests.
(4)Sam P.
These guys treated me right. I went in at 11:20 and was waited on immediately. Fifteen minutes later and I'd have waited in line for an hour. I asked for a recommendation from my waiter, and got the Gyro of my dreams. Great dessert too.
(4)Chris S.
Great service and great food! It brought me back to my time in Vienna, when I had Donor Kebabs on the streets. Overall, the selection was fantastic and I encourage anyone that is looking for Mediterranean food to come and eat here.
(5)Chris O.
The gyros were good but still not as good as a more Greek style gyro would be, these guys are more Lebanese which is fine but when I see a place called Gyro House I expect it to be more Greek than Middle Eastern style Mediterranean food. If I look past my disappointment there the food is good and the guys do their best to help you out even when it's crowded, which is most of the time.
(4)Angela T.
This was the best Mediterranean food in Oregon. If you ever been to the middle east you will know this is the best that you will get. Great atmosphere, great hospitality. It's worth ever penny you spend. Everything is made from scratch, Homemade is the best you will get here. This is now our favorite place to eat. You will be seeing us more often.
(5)La'Dell C.
This place is really good in regards to the food , On the other hand be sure to not encounter the owner. He is certainly chauvinistic , I have been here several time and every time he appears to treat those of color very demeaning and condescending. My family is from middle eastern decent and they have acknowledge the difference in approach when dealing with this man. However , this review is just raising awareness for those people who appreciate there self worth while contributing to such a place.
(2)Alise M.
Never disappointed, love the lamb gyro and plan on trying the hummus and other items too.
(5)Javier P.
Awesome choices with a variety of traditional cuisine. Price is great given the large portions and delicious food. Expect to possibly wait at lunch. Every minute you have to wait will be worth it. Everything I have tried here is delicious.
(5)Dubious M.
Always friendly, full and fabtastic! I see they now also have a wood stone pizza oven. Next time :-) This time the tried and true, massive, meaty, lamb gyros.
(5)Katrina B.
Thanks yelpers! You guys are right HANDS DOWN this is the GYRO we've ever tasted! I had the chicken gyro without the feta cheese because I'm preggo and had the spicy garlic sauce on..but it was still ohhh~so~delicious my hubby got the lamb gyro with everything and he said it was delicious! All in all we agreed that this place has the best Gyros. we'll definitely be coming back.
(5)Noralis R.
Good food, okay service. The restaurant is spacious and not busy which is good if you don't want to wait for a table. The ingredients were fresh and very tasty. I'll go again.
(4)Faith G.
Being a very picky middle eastern looking to impress my husband with only delicious middle eastern food, gyro house is usually my go-to! My husband loves the gyros here and I am a huge fan of the falafel! Just to make this clear: I am giving 5 stars for the Food. The service here more like 2.5 stars.
(4)Patna B.
Good food, very crowded esp on Fridays for lunch. Owner is a bit pushy when it comes to add ons on top of what you order.
(3)Jacob M.
Pretty good!
(4)John M.
Best lamb gyro I've ever had in my life. That includes the ones I had in Greece. Do yourself a favor and visit this place.
(5)Kara E.
Granted I have only been once, but our food was awesome and our server was nice. We ordered the hummus plate with extra bread. I suggest getting extra bread because there is a lot of hummus. The pitas were served super hot and we devoured the hummus. We both got lamb gyros with feta and spicy garlic sauce added on. Delicious! The meat was so tender and flavorful. They were HUGE. It was a massive portion for only 5.99. Overall, super yummy and the prices were great!
(5)Moath A.
Their food was okay to me, I had chicken gyro, humas, dolmah and tabbolah. But my waiters were unhappy while serving my food. I felt that they were pushed to serve me. The owner was the opposite, very very sweet. I would like to come again to try their freshly baked menu.
(3)Daryl K.
Gyro House has the best gyros I've ever eaten, hands down. I've first ate here back in 2011 and I've been hooked ever since. This place has a full menu, one that I regrettably have not explored as much as I should have. Their hummus is fantastic - it's smooth and creamy as hummus should be, and they make their own flat bread in a brick oven. Their spicy garlic sauce is one of the greatest things I've ever tasted and I'm hopelessly addicted to anything that it comes on, like the spicy garlic fries (don't forget the feta!) None of that compares to the gyro though, 6.99 (with all the extras) for a a gyro the size of my foot - I'm a size 13 mens. This thing can easily feed two people, they've got it piled so high with meat that one time a friend actually asked for less meat on theirs. The server was confused by the request and informed her that they couldn't charge her less, so he recommended that someone else in the party just eat the extra. The meat is carved from the rotisserie, none of that boxed gyro slice garbage, and they load it up with the traditional toppings. The magic though comes back to the spicy garlic sauce, and lots of feta cheese. I doubt I will ever find a better gyro anywhere else, so it's great to hear that these guys are expanding! They have another location now in southeast, and I hear they're opening another in Sherwood. I hope that their business continues to thrive, and never skimp on the gyro meat!
(5)R32 D.
I am never coming here again, the staff is absolutely rude!!! They don't know how to treat their customers. They blame you when they mess up your order. Make you feel like a inconvenience to them. One of the employees started sweeping under my table when I wasn't even finished with my food. If you wish to be yelled at then this is the place to go!!
(1)Katie S.
This place may not seem like much, but it has the most amazing gyros you have ever tasted for such good prices: loaded with tasty grilled meat, fresh veggies, and delicious tzatziki. The servers are friendly and accommodating (if not a little henpecked!), and again, the food is fantastic!
(5)Donald K.
Once again, Yelp drives a great meal. On our drive from Cannon Beach to Cascade Locks, we decided it was time for lunch and the family vote was Greek. Yelp took us here. Apparently, this is a very popular location for locals despite its humble location in a strip mall. We ordered the hummus with a side of pita bread to start - one serving is enough for 4. The hummus was some of the best I've tasted. Our wait staff was prompt and very helpful in suggesting meals. We ordered the gyro w/ spicy sauce, a classic gyro and two gyro platters. The saffron rice was perfectly done and tasty while the tsitsiki sause (I know, spelling) on the side was a perfect complement to the fresh greek salad and spiced lamb. Even though I inhaled a fantastic gyro platter, both of our children had gyro-to-go as the portions are huge. They were completely silent for 20 minutes, a very good barometer of their satisfaction. The Turkish coffee is authentic and just-bitter-enough; add some sugar if you like. I met Zuhain at the register - a delightful, energetic fellow from Jordan - and purchased some honey-balls to go with my on-the-road Turkish coffee. (Speeding afterwards? No no - everyone else was in slow motion.) It's now dinnertime in Cascade Locks and I have no need for a meal. This turned out to be a great place to stop for lunch!
(4)Gabrielle T.
It was pretty good food at a decent price. It can get crowded so make sure you go a little bit before or after rush hour. Their fresh pita is actually quite tasty. The hummus was okay, but I have had better.
(4)Matthew W.
"Can't talk...eating. Om nom nom." The Gyro House's service can be timed with a sun dial and the customer experience can be a little like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. But, DAY-UM their food is good! It's plentiful (borderline huge) and cheap too. Take out is quick, but dine in is slow at the busy lunch rush. Get there before noon to assure yourself a seat, though groups over 8 may have some trouble getting a table. I had the Lamb Gyro with Feta cheese and Spicy Garlic Sauce. The portion was giant and the taste a combination of spicy heat (from the garlic sauce), cool crispness (from the tzatziki sauce) and savory goodness (from the meat). The veggies and pita were super fresh too. Authentic gyros and other Mediterranean cuisine make this place a winner, despite the sluggish service.
(4)Jackie E.
The Staff was excellent and I had the best Gyro of my life and I've had a lot !! The is a must place for Mediterranean food!!
(5)Adam M.
We went here for dinner and it was amazing, at first the service wasn't to great but then we got a new waiter and everything was great. The food was great from the appetizers to the entrees. I ordered the Lamb Gyro with feta cheese, it was a perfect blend of spicy. The owner was very polite and treated us very well. I recommend this place to all.
(5)Faaron S.
Second time here. Food was awesome just as before! Can't get enough of that hummus. Lol but seriously, if you're craving good Mediterranean food, or any food at all. Definitely come check it out!
(5)Suki S.
OMG, this was my first time ever eating a gyro and I came to the right place.! It was amazing! I can't wait to keep coming back. There was so much food and the flavors were so good. Thank you so much Kahlil and Asume!
(5)Preston C.
Hands down the best Gyro I have ever had.
(5)Joewo J.
A very good little Mediterranean restaurant. The Chicken Schwarma is tremendous. If you like spicy then ask for the Gyro Salad with the Sriracha salad dressing. It is not THAT hot but very flavorful!
(5)Cody C.
Huge portions of meat, large salads, reasonable prices, everything tastes great. It gets docked a star because it's always an extremely long wait.
(4)Sean K.
This is my go to place during lunch. My favorites are Chicken and Lamb gyro with Spicy Garlic Sauce. For the price, it is a steal. Highly recommended!
(5)Megan L.
Had a craving for Mediterranean food so on a Saturday afternoon we decided to stop in. The restaurant was pretty busy so we were left at the front door standing awkwardly until a staff member pointed us to a table. Our waiter, quite frankly sucked. Not sure if he is new but it took a long time for him to get to the table then probably another 15 minutes for water. That was the last time we saw him actually. Someone else brought our food and we ended up paying at the counter when we were done. The food is amazing. We started we other the falafel appetizer, very tasty. I had the kafta kebob sandwich and my guy had the lamb gyro. We were not disappointed. Oh. And don't even get me started on the baklava. I could eat that with every meal! The restaurant was clean but smelled like b.o. I think its just because we were sitting by the cooking line. We will definitely be back.
(4)Michelle O.
Excellent food, and extremely friendly service. The inside was light and clean. The Greek food was beyond my expertations, definitely recommend their hummus apertiser. Wow, can't wait to go back!
(5)Sean A.
Hit this place on a whim. It was suggested by a co worker, and boy am I happy we did. Everything was fresh. And top notch. Service was good, and friendly. All the food was amazing, even if a bit pricey. But this is one place you can rest assured you will get everything you pay for. I can't say enough good things about the place. We will continue to come! Place is usually busy so be prepared, but busy is always a good sign. Not many people keep coming to a place for bad food and bad service. Can't wait to hit them up again!
(5)Sherine G.
Good food, fast service. The chicken shawarma salad with a side of hummus to-go is my standard order. Their hummus tastes much better than anything I make or buy at new seasons. I wish I knew their secret.
(5)Les K.
Unbelievably good. Best gyro I have ever had and I have had many in my sixty years. Portions are large, service is great and friendly. Pita made right there and prices are reasonable. We moved here recently and have tried a few places and this is it. Oasis was also extremely good, but prices were high.
(5)Kat P.
I love their food. Everything is done perfectly. The environment is clean and the service is fantastic. It's a family run establishment and we've been going for years. My only feedback would be for the business owner as sometimes he gets snippy with what I believe are his sons in front of customers. Sometimes he lets his frustration show too much and it makes it a little awkward.
(4)Ben P.
Found the freshness, taste and value to be very good. The pitas were rolled, baked and served so fast we only waited because they were so hot. We proceeded to burn ourselves because they were so delicious. Enjoy this for lunch especially because of all the lighter options and the speed to get in and out.
(5)Carrie V.
My only complaint is that their food is so amazing that I eat way to much every time and get a belly ache! The lamb meat on the gyro is so incredibly tender that it just melts in your mouth. The place is loud and often packed. The service is very fast. This place is far from romantic but often a great choice for date night with my husband. My husband loves to order the Greek fries with a garlic cheese sauce.
(5)Angela C.
Gyro here is amazing! Best gyro I've had. They are very generous with the meat. Gyro was loaded up, I had to eat with a fork. Service was great. Food came out fast and definitely worth it!
(5)Mia S.
Terrible service, over priced, and medicore food. My fiance and I went in for dinner take outs. We ordered the veggie mezza for 2 and two sandwiches. 1-The cashier decided on his own to round up the total and charge my credit card for it!!! 2-When we got home we realized they did not include my fiance's sandwich. When we called to enquire the same guy was shouting on the phone, being rude, and not apologizing. 3-The food was below average, we ended up throwing it out. Waste of money!!! All in all, extremely terrible experience. We are never going there again!!
(1)Ashish G.
Very good Mediterranean place! Given a choice, I would choose this place over any of the downtown Mediterranean places. Their falafels, kebobs, gyros all are very good and well made. Don't forget to try their spicy garlic sauce! It is yummy... Food is so good that i am tempted to give them 5 star. I held back one star only because of their no so good service. Be advised on a busy day, you might be waiting for a while before order to be taken or water glasses to be filled... But food kind of makes up for it. I want to try newest addition of pizza yet...
(4)Marta G.
I went in on a spontaneous whim & was purely delighted. the lamb gyro was amazing! packed with sauce, meat & veggies, it was the perfect gyro at an affordable price. compared to other gyros severed around town, this one was a 10/10. definitely recommend this place to everyone who mentions they are craving Mediterranean food. staff is super friendly & the restaurant is adorable, filled with pictures of architecture & arches. makes you feel like you've walked into a little corner of the Mediterranean.
(5)Michael A.
I had a lamb gyro pizza today and it was real good. It is odd that there aren't any substitutions allowed on the pizzas. The pizza itself had a good crisp crust but wasn't crackery. I'll be back for the pizza again. The prices are also very reasonable, I had a personal sized pizza (though it could feed two), a drink, and dessert for 16 dollars. My server, Frank, was perfect. He was friendly and efficient, always made sure my Arnold Palmer was full and he gave me a good recommendation on a dessert.
(4)Greg D.
Completely - awesome - food. The one-star review is NOT indicative of what you will eat at this place - it's awesome food and the lamb gyro is SO much delicious food that you can skip the next 2 meals. If you DO get the lamb gyro, make sure you get it with plenty of feta and the spicy garlic sauce.
(5)David M.
Hands down the best lamb gyro I've ever had. Period. Loaded with tzatziki, feta and spicy garlic sauce! Oh how I love the spicy garlic sauce!!!!! (Don't worry spice haters, it's actually not very spicy, but the flavor is excellent!) Fresh gyro bread, crisp veggies, authentic lamb gyro meat... What more do you need??! Oh wait, did it mention it's a mountain of food for only $7??!!!! Not that you really need more food, but definitely order the fried potato chips (also loaded with the amazing spicy garlic sauce and feta) and the authentic hummus or babagannush!!! The pita bread is so fresh it comes to your table full of steam like a balloon until take the first bite. I need to add that I love Mediterranean food and get it all the time. This place beats them all from the food carts in down town to the pricey sit down restaurants. The only thing you may not like is how busy it can be during peak hours, and the main guys behind the counter (I'm assuming they are the owners) are a little like the Seinfeld soup nazi.
(5)Kieley R.
Wow is all I have to say about this gem of a gyro place! We don't live super close to Gyro House, but I tell ya I'd drive across town(s) just to get my hands on these gyros. Honestly we do have another joint close to us yet still treck it to Gyro House! Ok..let me explain (while drooling mind you) this gyro is HUGE, they put tons of beef/lamb, feta, spicy sauce (which I highly recommend when they ask you if you want these), lettuce, tomatoes and onion. Oh, and their hummus is darn good too served with their amazing pita bread. Staff are really attentive and the owners are so friendly, they really do make you feel as if they are genuinely happy to see you!
(5)Matthew H.
This place is AMAZING. My coworkers and I visit at least once a week at lunch time for a Lamb Gyro and the Hummus Platter. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is great as well. They are quick to deliver your food and are constantly checking in to make sure you're enjoying your meal. You may see Zuhair and Asem visit you at your table as well and thank you for coming to their restaurant. If you're in the Beaverton area, you MUST try this place! Thanks again Zuhai, Asem, and the Gyro House Crew!
(5)Mikki V.
Ordered the vegetarian sampler entree and for $12.99 (plus tip) I had to go find something else to eat when I was done. One dolma and one falafel ball, along with a tiny amount of hummus and a big, oily salad is not worth $12.99. Yes, I got a piece of flat bread which was good, but there wasn't enough hummus to even eat all of the bread with. The lunch also came with a spinach pie, which was obviously cooked days ago and was heated up before served, but it wasn't heated all the way through--the center was still refrigerator-cold. What an utter disappointment. For $15, I should be stuffed to the gills. The falafel sandwich is only $6 and I'm sure it's a good bet for lunch, but I'll never know because this place's failure on my first visit ensures I will never return.
(1)H. B.
I LOVE GYRO HOUSE!! They have the best hummus. The pita bread is always fresh, and literally steaming bc it's fresh out of the oven. Very authentic Greek food.
(5)Proma C.
Great gyro... Full of meat, which makes it even better!!! The staff though nice is not up to the mark - the guy forgot to get our appetizers & got the mains to the table straight. The sweets are good too especially their Coconut cake. Great place for quick stop-n-run dinner.
(4)Dafny R.
Recently moved to the Portland area and I love this place. Food is fresh, delicious and very clean! The service is great. Everything I have tasted is amazingly flavorful but my favorite is the chicken gyro pizza. Totally recommend this place if you love authentic Mediterranean food!
(5)Brittany C.
This is by far the best Greek restaurant I've ever been to! The food is so authentic and fresh and the service is outstanding. The owner of the store was very friendly and came by our table twice to check on how the food was. There is a wood oven in the kitchen where you can see the bread being cooked. Don't forget to order the fries. I also ordered a decious raisin rose drink too!

I came here on a Monday at lunch time with my wife Sheelab and it was jam-packed. The restaurant was not understaffed which was relieving to see. The menu was diverse and the prices were not unexpectedly high. When the food (promptly) arrived, it was clear that the food is worth the price as the quantity of it was rather substantial. My first visit here I order the chicken gyro. The meat was marinated in a curry-like sauce and was of exceptional quality. The gyro itself was very large. Everything I've had here is great and I can't wait to try the Mediterranean pizzas the next time I'm in the area visiting my grandmother.
(5)Brian M.
That was the best gyro I've had in my entire life. Seated right away. The employees were all on the ball. The lamb was in a spit. The bread was obviously made there. Everything was amazing. I don't live on this side of town, but I'll be making a trip back.
(5)Shareef N.
Stellar food, excellent service. I always enjoy coming here and while it usually seems busy the wait is never too long. Their lamb gyros are delicious and usually my go to, but the hummus and zatar pizza are also great. Great!
(5)Sherrie R.
Great neighborhood place for gyros & other Middle Eastern dishes. Tastiest chicken shawarma I've had in a long while and plenty of delicious rice as well. Atmosphere is clean & bright & the service is always cheerful.
(5)Myriah M.
Oh my gosh this food is delicious!!! Really wish they would open a restaurant in McMinnville! They have excellent customer service, price point for what you get is great and the food tastes amazing. Wish I could visit more often.
(5)Magdalena K.
Amazing Mediterranean food! You have got to try this place when in that neighborhood, or if not it is definitely worth a drive! We went simple: I got the chicken gyros and Mac got lamb gyros sandwich. We split one order of fries. We stopped talking once we bit into our food it was so delicious we just wanted to chow on it! Fresh, juicy meats with melted feta cheese and some veggies and lots of garlic sauce. The fries were great too- they were shaped like little discs. One side is enough for two people, but be aware that they are so good you may start getting competitive over who gets more :-) We also got one piece of baklava to go. It tasted like it was house made the same day- I highly recommend getting one if you are in a mood for dessert. We got there after lunch rush and the service was very quick. It is a bright and clean medium sized place. Most of the tables had menus on them, so looks like a great place to get a quick lunch at a lunch break.. But be aware that you will be stamped with that garlic deliciousness for the rest of the day! Can you please open one Gyro House in San Diego please?
(5)Daniela M.
We had an amazing lunch here. It was packed even on a Tuesday, so I already had high expectations. I had the vegetarian plate with a mint lassi and he had lamb gyro and Turkish coffee. Everything tasted great. The hummus is incredible. I took home a piece of baklava, too, which was a not-too-sweet treat. It's true the service is a bit slow but they seemed to be more understaffed than anything else. Everyone was very friendly. The decor (tapestries and lanterns) is very charming.

I cannot believe I've never reviewed Gyro House! This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is amazing. The service not so much, but more on that later. The first thing I usually get is the lentil soup. It is so good. Lentils simmered until they are tender, then served with a drizzle of olive oil, some smoked paprika and a lemon wedge. Yum! The hubs get a side of Baba Ganoush. That is really good too - nice, smoky roasted eggplant. They make the pita bread right there in a brick oven, it comes out to the table steaming hot. I get the lamb gyro every time. I love love love it. Fresh veggies, nice cool tzatziki, crumbled feta...perfection. They do offer a spicy garlic sauce to go on the gyro as well. I don't care for it, but loads of other people swear by it. Hubs, on the other hand, has tried nearly everything on the menu. He says he's never had a bad meal here. His favorite is the Iskender plate, which is basically gyro meat sauteed in tomato-based sauce and served over pieces of pita and (I think) tzatziki sauce. The chicken shwarma is also quite good. Now, on to the reason I had to knock off a star. The service. Every time we've come here, the service has been less than stellar. We've been left sitting with drinks empty many times. Sometimes hubs' appetizer will come out WAY before mine (and mine is just soup!). Often while we are sitting there waiting, I can see the servers all huddled around just chatting. However, this last time took the cake. Our server was downright rude. We ordered apps. The first two came out - the hummus and baba ganoush. No soup. Server came back and asked if we were ready to order. I said "what about my soup?" He said: "Oh. Yeah. Geez. Don't panic." Excuse me what? Don't panic??? Just bring me my damn soup! So I get my soup. Then we get left sitting for another 20 minutes. Finally another of the guys comes over to help us when he sees us looking around and getting angry. SO frustrating. Obviously the service isn't that big of an issue for me, since we eat here at least once a month. So, in sum, if you are not in a big hurry and want some AWESOME Greek food, get on over to Gyro House!

I had a delicious meal at Gyro House Mediterranean Grill when I visited Oregon in December 2012. The servers and owner were extremely nice and chatty and the food was delicious. I ordered the Chicken Shawerma Plate, which came with marinated chicken shawerma served with basmati rice and Greek salad, topped with garlic sauce or yogurt (tazzeki) sauce. I really enjoyed my food. I also really liked the atmosphere and the various Mediterranean and Middle Eastern decorations around the restaurant as well. It was very classy for a somewhat casual restaurant. The owners and the feel to this place are definitely more Middle Eastern, as opposed to Mediterranean.
(5)Daniel C.
This place knows gyros! By far the best gyro I've ever had. When I first came here I had no idea what to expect, certainly nothing more than an average gyro from a strip mall type establishment in Hillsboro. Wrong. These gyros are heaping with lamb and beef, pickled veggies, fetta, and a garlic sauce that is something undescribably addicting! The owner is usually working here every day along side a friendly and young crew. They were all supremely helpful and friendly, and urged me to try some of the other items on the menu such as the fries and the hummus plate. It was all delish! This place is a nice pleasant lunch spot during the day, and an semi-intimate and classy dinner spot by night. I highly recommend, go go go go!
(5)Melissa K.
Best. Gyro. Ever. It's massive and packed full of tasty goodness, especially with the spicy garlic sauce. To top it off, prices are more than reasonable - here, you not only get QUALITY, but also QUANTITY! Service here is fast and friendly. Not to mention, everything at the Gyro House is made fresh in front of you. Their warm homemade pita bread straight from the oven paired with their creamy fresh hummus is absolutely delectable. And, so is their pizza. We discovered this place a few months ago and have since been going regularly, as it's only a block away. It is now my goal to try everything on their menu...challenge accepted. But, Lord please give me the strength to not eat here every day! It's just that good.
(5)Shelby C.
The worst customer service ever. Our server was so rude right from the get go. We asked to have our bill split from the beginning. Our server told us the cashier would do that. When it was time to pay the cashier told us we should have had our server split the bill. When he split the bill he over charged us and we said something about it. We added everything together and there was an extra $10. He added again and magically it dropped by $7. We were still over paying but just wanted to get out of the place because they were so rude. We were not happy at all leaving we will not be coming back. Learn some customer service skills. You don't treat anyone that way.

I'm a huge fan of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food, and I have probably dined at a dozen Mediterranean places in the Portland area. If you look purely on value and taste, this joint is off the charts. I'm 6'2" and 250 and the $6 lamb gyro is HUGE. When you pick it up, you immediately notice its mass, and a fair portion of that mass is meat. It's like the exact opposite of Subway where you go pick up your 12" and it feels like you are picking up bread. Top the gyro off with their spicy garlic sauce (it's spicy but not really hot) and you have the best gyro I have ever eaten. I've also had the hummus plate, baba ganoush, and the heated pita bread. They were all just ok/good. I have had better renditions of these three at a number of other Middle Eastern/Mediterranean places around town. So, I suggest you go here for the gyros: and if you order an gyro, you really won't want anything else to eat anyway. Probably most couples would be better off splitting and gyro and ordering an appetizer or two. The atmosphere of the restaurant clean and efficient. At lunch, it's fairly noisy and crowded. I try to get there either before noon or after 1pm. The servers and staff are polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. I doubt you can find an gyro this big and this good anywhere in the Portland area for $6!

Giant portions. Delicious food. Great location near my home. Inexpensive. Love this place.
(5)Emma C.
Suuuuper good food, very reasonable prices, really clean, great service. Everything you hope for in a restaurant.
(5)Emily C.
This place is bona fide! Some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had. Their pita will ruin you for all other pitas. Big portions, casual atmosphere, and super friendly staff. You will not be sorry.
(5)Linda C.
I have been wanting to go to this place for a while now and we finally did tonight! We did the dine-in experience. Inside is tastefully decorated and I really like the tapestries hanging on the ceiling. The service was prompt and fast. I was amazed at how fast the food came out. I had the Chicken Shawarma with basmati rice and salad. The S.O. had the Lamb Gyro plate which also came with rice and salad. It was delicious. Next time I'm going to try the gyro wrap itself but tonight I wanted to try something different. The seasoning was great. I had a bite of the lamb and it was delicious without being overpowering. The salad was refreshing and I really like the ziki sauce. I was very pleased with my meal and the all around experience. I would definitely come back here
(5)Candice Q.
I really like this place. We come here a lot for lunch. Their gyros are huge and very good. We haven't tried many other menu items yet.
(5)Robert M.
Most incredible food. The owners have just put on a new expanded sitting area and the atmosphere is fantastic. Great to see the owners meeting and greeting customers and insuring customers are happy. Fantastic chefs.
(5)May C.
Love this place! I've worked in HIllsboro for 8 years and never knew this place existed. I went there twice within the first week of discovering it. It's a great lunch spot! Lamb gyro, only for $6, heck yea! The gyro sandwiches are big and delicious! It brought back memories of the donor kebabs I had in Europe.
(4)jade w.
The plates are good, but Gyro is the best deal; for $6 you get a lot of food. Love the fresh pita bread! Lost 1 star because It Wasn't clear I had to pay at the front and the hummus plate only comes with one pita. The server suggests getting extra bread with the hummus, which annoys me because they are aware that one pita isn't enough and instead of providing more they are nickel and diming me.
(4)Marlana S.
The portions here are huge! Sometimes that can be a sign for sub par food, but the gyros were amazing! We ordered the lamb gyros with the spicy garlic sauce and feta. I think they were the best I ever had. I love the addition of the pickles. The hummus with fresh pita bread was perfect. I wish there was one in portland, but next time we are in Beaverton, we will be back!
(4)O E.
The lamb gyro was the best I've ever had! The meat was very juicy/tender and full of flavor while the bred was soft and fresh. The special garlic sauce is a good addition as well. Highly recommend this spot and the prices are great!
(5)Michael D.
Great food, fast service, very authentic, large selection on menu to pick from. We are from Tri Cities WA and visit family in Beaverton and we always stop here to eat before we leave!
(5)Melanie M.
I have been a long time returning customer of Gyro House. I have never had anything but good things to say...until today. The other day I had returned yet again to order my regular. A nommy lamb Gyro with spicy garlic sauce and feta. OMG so good. I ate nearly the entire thing. Two hours later...it started. I was feeling nauseous. I thought "well maybe because I ate too much" Then another hour later I started puking the entire contents of my stomach and then some. After 3 adventures to the bathroom for that, it started on the other end. and all night I had this problem. And a few hours after that it hit my boyfriend who had the Chicken Gyro with spicy garlic sauce. The only one in my house who didn't get sick was my 11 month old baby who was sleeping while we were eating. THANK. GOD. Because we almost always share our food with him I called today to try and report the problem and the manager who was placed on the phone got so defensive it was ridiculous. Almost to the point where he was yelling at me because I had the audacity to think that someone might get sick. I wasn't calling to get mad, I was calling to report the casualty because accidents can happen. Needless to say, if you aren't going to respect your customers complaints ESPECIALLY if it is because they got sick you do not deserve their return service. Your customers returning are the only reason you are in business.
(2)Samantha H.
Fabulous! Can't agree more hummus and fresh made pita to order so great. Portions are large enough to share at lunch. Maybe do family style and share chicken, lamb shawarma plates. Kids chicken kabobs were a hit. We will all be back soon!
(5)Denise B.
Again awesome perfect friendly service. The food is to die for, and I saw several customers clean the dishes with their fingers. The price is excellent for insane servings. I can't decide if the lamb gyro, pizzas, or the hummus steals the show. I have never seen the place quiet or empty and I've been going there since it opened. A serious treat.
(5)Harvey B.
"It's Greek to me", usually means that you don't understand something. Well, the guys at the Gyro House, in Hillsboro, certainly understand what they're doing. I have had several different dishes and each one has been as good or better than the previous one. Yesterday, for lunch, I had the Kafta Gyro, it was fantastic. I also ordered a medium order of their fries... That was a mistake. Because if I didn't have my friend Bill with me I would never have even been close to eating them all. That is to say how BIG all of the portions are. Make sure that you are really hungry when you Come here. Also, make sure that you leave a little room for a piece of Baklava as dessert. I can assure you that, whatever your menu choice, you WILL NOT, be disappointed.
(5)Danielle P.
Delicious! Visiting from out of town and I Stopped in for lunch. Super fast service, they get you in and out. I had the chicken kebab sand which and a side Greek salad. Generous portions, good food, would definitely come back if I lived here.
(5)David S.
Out of our comfort zone and yet we are reminded why we do this! This place is amazing! The spice isn't hot its flavorful. We had the chicken gyro and it was HUGE! They are friendly and fast! A gem for sure!
(5)Alicia A.
I would give a 5 for the taste of food alone. Lamb gyro sandwich: -stuffed with some of the best gyro meat I have tried. They aren't stingy! - I usually don't get it with spicy garlic sauce or feta. I like it classic style...with some sriracha drizzled on top. I would give the service either a 3 or a 4...depending on the night. They kind of force the whole "spicy garlic and feta?" thing on you... And it's not even free! My boyfriend always gets those extra add ins... When it comes to me, I prefer it just gyro lamb with tzatziki sauce. On two different occasions, the waiter made a comment that I was being "picky." WTF those add ins aren't even traditional or free! Servers aren't really attentive. They lose track of their tables and it's sometimes hard to even flag down someone for extra napkins.
(5)Kasey Z.
one of my fave places ever. Their portions are fantastic and it tastes sooo good. I recommend a lamb gyro with spicy sauce and feta and the fries to go with it, also with spicy sauce. One of my favorite meals!
(5)Aimee P.
Ridiculous.... ly good! For a $6 gyro sandwich - this was monstrous in size. The reviews were right, there was more meat than what should be in the sandwich, but you don't see me complaining. Usually people complain about that there is NOT enough meat. You won't have that problem in this joint. The side order of hummus was just enough for two people. @ $3 a side, can't really complain about that either. Service was good and food came out quick. I would regular. Trust that. REGULAR. Thanks GYRO house, you gave me hope as I transplant from Las Vegas. DELISH!
(5)Yakov B.
not much in way of atmosphere but the gyro's taste authentic and are really good. a good value for the amount of food you get. dine-in service is okay, nothing special at all. a couple of times they directed us to sit at tables that were dirty from the previous customer and we waited at the table to be wiped down and our order taken. this is a great place for lunch but in my opinion not dinner date worthy. that being said, come for the food!
(4)Kellie K.
I was very disappointed with Gyro house the first time I tried it. Maybe it was all the hype it got on yelp that made my expectations unattainable. I tried it a second time and WOW this time I was highly impressed! Glad my wife talked me into giving it another try. Don't get me wrong, this isn't exactly the Lebanese food I am used to getting in the Metro Detroit area, but it was damn good.
(4)Candee W.
I haven't had Mediterranean food this good since I visited Turkey -- and that's saying something. Salads are fresh and crisp with lots of tomato and cucumber. Gyros are huge and tasty. Quality and quantity here go hand in hand. Can't wait to get back to try other menu items. The pizzas looked extremely interesting. This is family-owned business with everyone going out of their way to make your meal enjoyable. I tried the restaurant based on Yelp reviews, and as far as I'm concerned, anyone giving them less than 4 stars doesn't know good food. Best to go on Monday or Tuesday. Other days there can be a line out the door which is why service may be a little too rushed for some people. I think it's just the owners' way of trying to please. Prices are very reasonable for the large portions you receive. Nobody should go away hungry.
(5)Susan B.
Delicious, great portions and nice, comfortable atmosphere. In a strip mall so parking is free and never an 'issue'. I've been here almost a dozen times now. The garlic sauce stands out making this a uniquely delicious lamb Gyro. The uniquely thick, soft, pita bread wrap helps make this 'feel' more of a meal. I've had the chicken dish, enjoyed each of their multiple desserts. But return for the large, nicely priced, tasty, Gyro. The 'boss' is a bit of a micromanager. He makes the place feel that without him things would fall apart. His hovering does insure things go smoothly but also contributes to an 'uptight' feeling. I hoped that after a while employees would be trained/maintained but that never seems to happen. I have been glad he is there to be sure that everything comes out right though...and it does. He is a nice guy and helpful...explains the desserts well. The dessert display shows the offerings well but could use better descriptions. You either have to be comfortable asking lots of questions and have time to do so or understand Greek desserts beyond baklava. It is nice to have a sweet afterward; but the desserts aren't exceptional enough, in flavor, to make this a five. (I love baklava and can't remember the name of the other dessert I enjoyed, over and over, at the Greek festival.) The baklava and desserts are worth ordering, a four star but not a five. I enjoy eating in, makes the meal even nicer to be served for some reason but mostly find myself carrying out. All around, a great experience.
(4)Thom D.
Portland Falafel review: Best pita, best hummus. First impression: The place was packed - always a good sign. Next, I noticed they were firing their own pita. That got me excited. Once I ordered my falafel, I was asked if I wanted hummus on it. YES, please. It turned out to be the creamiest and freshest tasting hummus so far. I honestly did not expect such a great falafel from a place with Gyro in the name. What am I searching for... memorable falafel, chopped tomato, chopped cucumber, eggplant, kalamata olives, and killer harissa, *inside* a pita. Yeah... great falafel in Beaverton. Who woulda thunk?
(4)JR B.
The food is flat out addicting. I go here at least a few times a month just because of the quantity of food you receive for the price. The taste is great, the price is even better, and the service is generally pretty fast. You don't have to wait very long. However, service is beyond just the waiter. Service includes the integrity of the restaurant, and frankly, the Gyro House is lacking. Their gyros are at an already silly low price of $5.99, however, if you order the same gyro with feta cheese, it costs and extra $.50 (Totaling at $6.49). It wasn't until a couple months of first eating here that I discovered that the owner was charging me the $6.49 price the whole time, despite my order being 50 cents less. I was pretty upset about this, so the next time I went, I didn't say anything and noticed he did the same thing to me, and multiple friends of mine that ordered the same gyro. I tipped 50 cents less than normal this time, and then from there on out, I corrected his mistake. He finally started correctly charging me $5.99 every time without me having to intervene, as I became a regular due to the food. Not a huge deal, but a two star ding for playing with your customers, even if it is just 50 cents. And please pay attention to your bill when you go to pay. I only write this review to educate others. I'll still be going to the Gyro House just as much as I always have. The place is delicious.
(3)Mike G.
As good as almost anything I've had in Greece. The same with their Turkish Coffee, best since Istanbul. The hospitality of the family that runs this place makes you feel like the bedouin extended you an invitation to share a meal. Fantastic place!
(5)Donte' D.
The gyro was the best I have had. Great hummus and everything else. The chicken was succulent and seasoned better than any I have had and I have been to Dubai. The ambience is incredible as well. Beautiful tapestries and authentic decor
(5)Ryan H.
Awesome spot for lunch. Was seated extremely fast, the service was great, and our order was taken right away. Was astonished at how fast the food came out as well. The lamb gyro was amazing. One of the best I've ever had. The spicy garlic sauce and feta were a must. Highly recommend.
(5)scot s.
Was in town for business recently and was craving gyros. So I yelped and boy did I luck out. This place is great. Authentic food, huge portions, and friendly staff. Prices were very fair too. After I ordered I saw they have specialty pizzas as well that looked incredible. Gonna have to schedule another business trip so I can visit again. Great place.
(5)Tyanna M.
First of all the owner is extremely rude and talks down to women and his employees. We got a pick up order and when we paid and got our receipt it was correct. Well the owner must of handed us someone else's order bc when we got home it was completely different than what we ordered. We called and let them know and headed back to the restaurant. When we arrived they not only blamed us for they're mistake, but when we asked for some sort of compensation the owner refused and said now that we have the right order we should be happy. We didn't even get an apology. Our food was cold by the time we got home and was still missing our hummus. I will never go back there ever again. Gyro-to-go not only has better prices, but much better customer service. We will go there from now on.
(1)Hayden I.
My favorite spot for lunch, a quick dinner, or just to satisfy a desire for some great Mediterranean food! Gyros are the best in town, and the pizzas are amazing if you wanna spend an extra few bucks. Get the spicy sauce!!
(5)Janet M.
This was my first trip in with Princess and her dad. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, not many customers. We had nice attention from our servers, and it was clean and pleasant. I like what they've added to the decor since opening. Lots to look at. Sweet. We were hungry, and on our way to visit grandma, who lives in the wilds of western Washington County. No, we didn't send her out in the forest to live. Not really, anyway. We fortified ourselves for our journey with hummus and falafel ($4.99 each I think), tasty chickpeas in two different forms, equally delicious. Warm pita bread came with the hummus. Get extra. We had to ask for more extra. The falafel was crispy and came with a cup of tahini sauce. Yum. Our iced tea and rootbeer hit the spot. No, not mixed together. Princess had a kid's plate of chicken schwarma and rice ( $5.99). She ate a lot of our hummus and bread first, but she managed to polish off most of her food. It was a nice size for a kid's meal and I appreciate that it wasn't processed chicken parts in batter. It came with tzatziki, which she likes. She grudgingly let us try bites of everything. It was all nicely seasoned and delicious. We had the yummy little donutholish honey soaked things that I can't remember the name of. I told Princess' dad we had to have some. He said he was too full, but then he ate three of the six. ( they cost $2.99) See how he is. Princess said "let's come back here". Okay, we will. It's good stuff.
(4)Lucky B.
Excellent food. Really large portions - so be careful when ordering. The service is decent not great but the food is worth coming here for.
(4)Baba B.
The food is 5 stars all the way, but the manager/owner is completely off-putting. He's just rude and impersonal, and I get this weird vibe that his employees are incredibly uncomfortable around him. Service is decent though.
(4)Randall D.
Great food and a welcome change from your usual lunch fair. Their hummus is rich and creamy and their flat bread is baked on site from scratch, piping hot and yummy. Portion sizes and very generous. Love the spicy lamb gyro. Wish it were closer to where I live!
(5)Gabrielle A.
I love Gyro House! I feel so blessed to have this little neighborhood gem just a few blocks away. I just couldn't face cooking tonight, so I stopped in for gyro plates and hummus. The gyro plates are delicious, the hummus silky and yummy, and the fresh pita are such a treat. My favorite thing, though, is the service. The owners are always gracious and sweet, and I love watching them interact with customers. I was shocked by the one or two reviews that mentioned bad service. I am in frequently and it is always some of the best, most humble service I've received. They've gotten bigger and much busier over the years, but their food and service remain top of the line!
(5)Michie M.
This place is soooo good! $5.99 for the sandwich! Can't beat that and the hummus! Wow. Just wow!
(5)William D.
Huge gyro, small price. The rest of their food is absolutely delicious, too! Desserts are a little expensive, but delicious. I found this place several years ago when they were way smaller than they are now while working as a contractor at Intel. This was my go-to spot for lunches. Now it's my go-to spot for gyros altogether. Ambiance is pretty good for what they're working with. Go. Now! It's worth it!
(5)Mike W.
Third visit today. When discussing the exceptional food and service with the manager he asked that if things were really that good, could I write a review on Yelp. Seems more than fair. In the three visits I have experienced consistent excellent service and food. I am acknowledged upon my arrival even when things were very busy. Every visit I have received polite prompt service, delicious food cooked well in plentiful portions, and left happy. I will admit 2 of the three visits have been Gyro's, so I cannot say I have sampled the breadth of the menu. All three occasions were with company who also enjoyed the service and fare enough to discuss the experience after. In short ... Great service, Great Food, Full portions, reasonable prices. Definitely a place to add to your go to list when dining out. Five stars overall.
(5)Blake W.
Simply, hands down, the absolute best gyros I've ever had have come from this place. Don't forget to get the garlic sauce and feta cheese added to them. They also have good tabbouleh and smooth as heck hummus. This is definitely a place to check out. The staff is really high strung though, as they tend to be very overworked (there's always tons of people there it seems).
(5)Charlie L.
It's great value, and earns a 4 tars in my book purely on that aspect alone. The flavor, however, does not beat Gyro Delight near my house. Nevertheless, I still highly recommend the Gyro House, especially if you are hungry. I had the chicken gyro with garlic sauce. The garlic sauce definitely gave it a little kick, but it's just thousand island, with garli (and possibly peppers). I do not share other reviewers' over the top enthusiasm, but it's good. Nice décor, nice people. All around nice.
(4)Jen H.
"Hummus of the Gods" is what this place should be called. Oh yeah, they have to die for gyros and pizza too. And, please, don't even get me started on the desserts. Traditional flavors, more than generous portions and nice friendly staff.
(5)Devin K.
Best Greek food around! Very authentic. We always take people here who are in town for a visit. Huge portions and the BEST hummus I've ever had.. Service is average but the food makes up for that in my opinion.
(5)Angela T.
Find this place yesterday after getting my nails done in the same mall. They are really great! Portion sizes are pretty large, so be careful not to order to much. Flavor is fantastic and it even tastes good as left overs. I ordered the chicken schwarma with hummus and loved it:-)
(4)Ehow C.
I'm not always craving meat, but it's hard to resist the lamb gyros at Gyro House. The gyro sandwiches remind me of Chicago and the rotating, vertical spit tells me that this place serves it fresh. A lot of Portland food carts serve gyros, but they hardly have any meat in them. Here, it's literally spilling out of your sandwich. LITERALLY. Their tzatziki, tahini, and spicy sauce are all great additions, as well. You can even get a gyro with hummus in it (Hummus Bi-Lahma)! If I were to move to Hillsboro, my pain would be eased by the fact that I would at least live close to delicious gyros. Come by, it's great stuff.
(5)Jessica R.
As usual wonderful food and service. The owner was sharing an off the menu dish with his son and shared it with us. Soooooo good and what a sweetie. Best hummus anywhere in the city I'll tell you that.
(5)Angela P.
I wouldn't recommend this place if you really have a taste for Mediterranean cuisine. As soon as you walk in it feels awkward. It appears as a family ran business. The disgruntled sons work as waiters the mom makes the bread and dad sits behind the counter eyeing everyone else. The food is not fresh. I have gone a couple times and rice is always dry. Everything tastes reheated. It always takes a while to get a person's a attention to get the check or more water etc.
(2)Monique M.
Fabulous lunch, the Falafels we hot and yummy, lamb gyros were huge and delicious, waiters were good with a sense of humor. We were driving from Seaside, OR to Bend, OR; found this place on Yelp. Love Yelp it never lets us down.

Best gyro I have ever had. It is monstrous. It is so big it will fall over your plate and you will need a fork to clean up all the meat that drops out. They don't skimp here. Finally! A restaurant that gets it. They have large portions and they don't over charge. Don't forget to order the baklava. I'm not kidding when I say it was the best I ever had as well.

MUCH IMPROVED! What a difference our last visit here was. Everything was better. The entire place has been widened and redecorated. Which, I might add, is gorgeous! They are now making their own pita bread, baked in their wood stove and coming out looking like puffed pastries. The hummus flavor was much better as was it's consistency. The portion size was slightly bigger, that is much appreciated. The service was much faster. Everything seemed much more efficient and organized. No more people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. It felt calm and well managed. Fully redeemed Gyro House, fully redeemed. We will be back for sure...and maybe we will sit and stay for a while. As a side note, the owner ( I believe, because he is the loudest guy there and running the register) comes across as rude and short tempered. I am not sure if that is the case or not, only time and repeat visits will tell. I was trying to speak to him about how much I loved his decor and he spoke loudly over me repeating a comment I had already responded to. It seemed rude but I brushed it off as maybe he didn't hear me talking when he began talking over me or maybe there is some cultural miscommunications going on? I kinda got that male dominance type impression from the encounter. If this kind of behavior were to continue on repeated visits I would quickly bump this 4 star review to 3 again or maybe even a 2.

Seated Fast. The Owner was super nice, and made sure we were taken care of and the food was good. I loved the lamb gyro that I had, it was delicious with the spicy garlic and feta.

Stopped in to grab dinner to go for the family and they were really busy and I know why! Ordered the regular gyro, chicken gyro, falafel, and baba ghanoush and everything was great. This is by far and away the best place I have eaten since moving from Denver.

OVERRATED. The server was friendly but extremely awkward, and while I know he tried to crack jokes they were extremely inappropriate and sexist toward my female friends. It made the experience a bit awkward. The food was decent but nothing amazing. The portions are huge which is nice. Still the waiter experience definitely weighed negatively on me.

Hands down best hummus, almost ever. If they served nothing else, I'd still go there JUST for the hummus (and fresh baked pita!) However; everything else is delish, too! Fries with spicy sauce and feta? Lamb gyro? with spicy sauce. Amaze. Mmm...now I have a craving!

Always completely impressed with the food here. I've been a customer since they opened, which is about three years ago I think. Consistent deliciousness!! Amazing food at a very reasonable price. Kudos to these guys for keeping the quality top notch! Best gyros i have ever had! Looks like they just added Sambusa to their menu(a savory meat or veggy stuffed fried pastry).....will try next time.

Phenomenal food at satisfactory prices. I have yet to experience a dish here that was not full of wonderful flavor. Portions are very generous, almost always requiring a take-home box. I recommend starting with a simple hummus plate. The steaming fresh pita is delicious and worth enjoying every trip. However, ask for 2 pitas so you can finish your hummus plate! The wraps are stuffed so full of food that I have a hard time knowing where to begin with them! The chefs are very generous with your meat choice, and the sauces (particularly the spicy garlic sauce) bring the entire experience to a new level. The location and ambiance are humble; it's simply a storefront in a shopping center. However, it has always been very clean with an open kitchen on the end.

I've been coming to this place since they opened in 2011, and I don't think there is a better Mediterranean restaurant in the area. I've been to a lot of Mediterranean style restaurants over the years, and I can say with confidence that Gyro House is one of the best. I've had every item on their menu (seriously), and I can honestly say, there isn't anything I don't like. From the lamb gyro, to the hummus, to the lentil soup, to the chicken kabob, to the fatoush salad, to the meat pie...it is all delicious....and that spicy garlic sauce they make is out-of-this-world. Sure, there are some items that I like more than others, but there isn't anything that I would purposely avoid. I can't say that about other restaurants of this type in the area. On top of all that good food is the service, some of the best out there. We are greeted as soon as we walk in the door and are seated immediately. The waiters are all good guys and seem to enjoy working there. Considering that pretty much everyone that opened the place is still working there, the turnover rate is very low, so you'll see that awesome server you had the next time you come in. The owner (Asem) and his brother (Zuhair) are both extremely nice, as well as tall. They'll usually take the time to come say "hi" and ask how we are doing...and it's not just us, they'll do this for everyone. After coming here a while, you really do feel like family. The decor is also very nice. There are lots of framed pictures of various places in and around the Mediterranean and Middle East. If you look up you'll see handmade tapestries that were brought to America by the mother of the owner. It is hard to find a restaurant this well maintained and managed. When I want to show-off to people the kinds of restaurants this area has to offer, Gyro House is one of my first choices. If you haven't eaten here yet, do yourself a favor and run to Gyro House. You won't regret it.

Delicious food, BUT the waiters were overbearing and we felt very rushed to order and eat. Granted, it took us awhile to decide, but during 10 minutes we were asked at least 4-5 times, part of this while we were still waiting for part of our group to even join us, and all while our menus were still obviously open as we looked at our options... not that relaxing. That being said at least the food was incredibly good - we got gyros and the portions were super generous. But then, with all the pressure to order quickly they still managed to forget to send out the appetizer we ordered before our meal. Needless to say by the time we realised this we just wanted to pay and get out of there. It was such a stressful atmosphere, we got baklava to go (baklava was ok, mostly soggy not as many crisp parts). Next time we might get food there, but we're definitely getting it to go.

A friend of mine had been raving about this place for months before finally taking us there. We weren't sure what to expect especially since our friend had been really talking this place up and we didn't want to get our hopes up to high... And pow! The food was amazing! Ordered the chicken gyros. The meat was juicy and the veggies crisp. The sauce was a perfect compliment of flavor. Not to overpowering yet not to dull. Loved it. Will b back soon

One is the best in the entire Portland area. I love the food and warm welcoming staff.

I am very happy that we found this little gem in Beaverton! My husband was in the mood for Greek food, and since we were in the area, we stopped by. Wow! This small place in a strip mall is the last place I would have guessed would have the best gyros I've ever tasted. Yes, I'll go that far. I hadn't read the reviews, so I didn't know that the gyros are HUGE, so we ordered a hummus plate AND gyros. The hummus missed that grainy texture I often see and was just smooth, creamy deliciousness with a dab of olive oil and an olive. The gyros are HEAPING with enough meat to probably make two more. The seasoning is perfect and the tzatsiki was perfect! Throughout the meal, a few of the staff members came to check on us and were very, very friendly. I noticed several people popping in to pick up their to-go orders. I'm sure we will be those people many times to come.

I am a Southern CA resident visiting my best friend in Lake Oswego, OR and was craving Mediterranean food. We have a favorite spot in Southern CA that we went to weekly when she lived there and since I'm here we wanted to continue the tradition. I am VERY picky about where I eat out and WOW was I impressed with this place! This family owned restaurant with a Lebanese and Jordanian flair is well worth the 15 mile drive to eat the most amazing Mediterranean food. The owner, Zuhair, and his son, Omar, were extremely welcoming and gracious, the service was prompt, the waiter was polite and the food was delicious, generously portioned and oh, did I say delicious already?? We ordered the hummus, which I can honestly say is the Best hummus I have ever had. It was light, creamy and the flavor can only be described as perfection and served with homemade pita bread that came out warm from the oven. The Falafel was every bit as delicious, the Greek Salad with Chicken, the Gyro Lamb wrap, and the Kabob Combination did not disappoint. The portions were so huge we could not finish the Gyro or the Kabobs and got to take them home to enjoy again tomorrow! Also, the tzatziki was wonderful with just the right amount of mint and garlic -- Mediterranean heaven in your mouth! I'm only disappointed that I have to go back to CA because I would make this my weekly Mediterranean spot in a heartbeat if I lived here. I can't wait to come visit again so I can come back, it will be the first place I ask to eat at when I return. Make the trip here -- IT IS WORTH IT!!

Delicious gyro, almost as good as the Turkish Döner. But the meat could be a bit thinner and the flat bread fresh made as you get it in Germany in a Döner restaurant.

This place is near my home, and I drive by it daily but had never stopped in until last night. The only thing I feel bad about is that I waited so long to try it. The restaurant is casual, with a very "homey" feel to it. I'm guessing it's a family run business, and that's part of the cool feel about this place. We were greeted right away, and seated fast. We ordered the Falafel and Dolma for appetizers, and the Chicken Shwarma for dinner. The Falafel was crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside and the flavors were excellent. The Dolma was well prepared, and my friend loved it. The Chicken Shwarma plate must have weighed 3 pounds, and the serving was huge. I can normally eat a lot, but I couldn't finish it all unless I wanted to be uncomfortably full. The rice was perfectly done, and the seasoning on the chicken was outstanding. The great part is, with the leftovers we took I had lunch the next day. We had to take our dessert to go because we were both stuffed. We chose the Baklava, and it was grubbin! Light, flaky, and perfectly sweet. To be honest, I see myself swinging by here on the way home to grab some dessert at the very least, but this will definitely be a normal hangout for me. Great job guys!

This is very good for the price. I happen to like my Gyro meat a little crispy directly off the rotating spit that cooks the meat, not pre sliced and griled to heat back up. I know it's fresh from same day but I'm very particular about what I eat and folks who know me understand that about me. The size more than made up for the not as crisp meat as I would have liked, and the spicy tztziki sauce was to die for. I would love to come back here. Truly this is my second favorite place to the Gyro House up near where I live. I hear this place is always busy but for some reason maybe it was the time in the evening that just wasn't. The reviews are excellent so that tells me enough. I know my yelper mates tell about their experience good bad or whatever. The guys who own the place are very friendly and contribute by working in their restaurant which is rare these days. Continued success to you. Maybe next time I come back I can get my meat a little crispy on the edges. BTW...the one thing I can do without is 'pickles' on my Gryo however they have cucumber. That is what I asked for and that is what I received. Leave the pickles off the Gyro's. Just doesn't seem authentic although the veggis is in the same family, it is not the same taste.

This place is AMAZING! We went because of the good reviews and we were certainly impressed! First of all, regardless of what you get, always order a side of hummus. It was so creamy and came with warm bread. Not to mention it was only $3.99! Even my hubby liked it (and he isn't even a hummus fan). I ordered the chicken gyro and my hubby got the lamb/beef gyro. Both were amazing and HUGE. If you are having a hard time choosing, go with the lamb. It's so tender and delicious. My chicken was good too but I will be getting the lamb from here on out. This was our first experience with Greek food and now we are hooked. I will be taking all my friends and family here for sure.
(5)Mark M.
This place is amazing. Really good gyros, and great service. The portions are huge. The spicy garlic sauce on the gyro is a perfect add to the giant gyro. There is a reason this place is packed full of people. Could be the best place to eat in Hillsboro.
(5)Christie B.
I LOVE Gyro House. The food is absolutely delicious! I've never been disappointed. I usually get the chicken gyro with no pickles and spicy garlic sauce on the side (or else it gets really messy). They do have a new policy however, that they will only split a check 4 ways, so make sure you plan ahead if you're planning to go with a big group. Since they've expanded their seating area, it's easy to get a table, and I always have a good time.
(5)Sidhu H.
Please order the lamb gyro with feta cheese and spicy garlic (lamb special). You will thank me.
(5)Matt S.
This place is close to home and we decided one day to stop in and have lunch. Like the other reviews stated, the gyros are rather large and could probably be split up with 2 people. The hummus is really well done as is the pita bread. If you are in the mood for a gyro check this place out. For the price and quantity, it will certainly not disappoint!
(4)Steve B.
The chicken shawarma was good, but it had more of an Indian food style than Mediterranean. It was still good, just not what I was expecting. The grape leaves were good with tzatziki sauce. The hummus and baba were also good.
(4)Karthik K.
I am from California and love kababs. Had my best seekh kabab here! Hands down! One of the restaurants to have in ur list if you're in town and love mediterranean food :)
(5)Randy S.
Excellent food and friendly wait staff. Tried the kabobs, falafel and lamb gyro pizza. All were superb.
(4)Nikk G.
It's more of a Turkish/Greek style feel to be had. Not bad for a quick bite for lunch. Friendly staff, tasty food, quick line.
(4)Karen K.
Omg! Tried this place for the first time and it's out of this world. I had the lamb gyro. The spicy sauce that comes with it is so amazing. I love the flavor of the meat as well. It hits the spot. I live in Gresham but i will definitely drive just for this restaurant! Pricing is fabulous. Proportion is super big. Excellent service.

Haven't been here for a while. It always comes to mind after we sit down to some other place. So we have missed all the remodeling that the tripling of the staff and all. We came for dinner, though a little early. It seemed like most of the action was in take-out business, but it is a fine place for a sit down dinner. Not first date nice; a little too open a floor plan for that. The soup was fine as always. The hummus plate was a lovely thing; the creamiest hummus I have had ever. A gibble, a small one, but it would be nice to have an option or two on this. A garlic version, one with lashings of cheese or some such thing. I got a the plastic to-go thing of what looked like tater tots dipped in honey. Not too sure what these were but there is much better than this for dessert.
