Consistently Great Food and Friendly Service!
My experience at this restaurant was consistently great! The food is flavorful, with the falafel, shawarma, and fries being standouts. The hummus is smooth and topped with delicious olives.
While the salad that comes with the plates is just 'meh, ' they are happy to substitute something else. The service is friendly and fast. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious Lamb Gyros, Big Portions!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried both the lamb gyro plate and the lamb gyro sandwich. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous.
I've tried many gyros in the Seattle area, and this one truly stands out as very good. I didn't try any chicken dishes. I will definitely come back again.

Top Notch Shawarma & Falafel
My experience at Mr. Gyros was fantastic! It's a top-notch walk-up shop for shawarma and falafel. The quality of everything was absolutely there, with excellent marinated and perfectly cooked meat seasoned with unique and delicious spices.
The plate was definitely worth it. I still need to try the Falafel, but the hummus and baba ganouj were off the chain good. The salad was fresh!
This was my second time here, and I will keep coming back, especially for late-night eats in Seattle.

Worst Schwarma Ever Had
I've been trying out many gyro places lately, and unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was terrible. I ordered the schwarma, and the meat was horribly chewy with a boring, bland flavor. It was, without a doubt, the worst schwarma I've had in my entire life.
The food was absolutely terrible.

Authentic Mediterranean Flavors at Mr. Gyros!
My experience at the Mr. Gyros street food truck was fantastic! I had the doner plate, which was incredibly full of flavor, fresh, and very satisfying. It truly felt like a little summer trip to the Mediterranean, as you could taste the sea, the sun, and all the heart they put into the food.
