- foodWe go to Gyro Time regularly for dinner and wanted to share with our friends. Everyone said that the food was great. We are vegan, but ordered meat/dairy dishes for our guests.
- Greek friesMy experience at the restaurant was primarily positive, centered around the food. I particularly enjoyed the great chicken gyro and the Greek fries. However, the parking lot presented a challenge, being cumbersome to get in & out of.
- FoodFood is always fresh and consistent
- falafelso was the falafel hands down my new fav spot.
- gyroThe star of the show, as the name suggests, is the gyro. Expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection, the gyro meat is succulent and rich in flavor, wrapped in a soft, freshly baked pita. It's accompanied by crisp, fresh vegetables and a creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce that adds the perfect finishing touch.
- gyrosthe gyros have excellent flavor
- meatIt's the meat, I've only had the beef & lamb, it's seasoned and cooked perfectly!
- baklavathank you for the extra baklava
- garlic sauceYou won’t be disappointed. Extra garlic sauce is recommended because YUM.
- hummusthe falafel and hummus were outstanding
Frequently criticized
- portion sizecame with two very small skewers of meat, about half what you’d get at other places.
- chickenMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered a plate that cost me $20 and it came with very little chicken. It was not worth it at all.
- friesWe ordered three times in that period, and the change seems permanent. The gyro now has a strange tomato-y coating on it, the fries are too lightly seasoned, and on two dishes, the tahini 'sauce' was squeezed from a tube like toothpaste, which I think was objectively bad texture and presentation, especially compared to the proper sauce they had previously. Our orders have been delivery, so I don't know if the atmosphere or service has changed.
- FoodFood:1
- Greek friessmall gyro and Greek fries ... simply not worth the price in quality or quantity

Consistently Good Food with a Minor Fry Quibble
My experience at this restaurant was consistently positive. The food was always good, and the portions were generous. The staff was really nice, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere.
The menu offered a great variety. My only minor feedback is that I wish they added a little seasoning to their regular french fries. However, their garlic fries were amazing!

Absolutely Delicious Food and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! The food was undeniably great, full of good flavor, moist, tender, fully cooked, well-seasoned, with a nice aroma, and all the flavors were well-balanced. Every bite was delicious and fresh, truly telling a story of the time, care, and attention the chef put into it.
They also offer their own made-in-house Red or Green hot sauce to add spiciness to your exquisite meal. The menu selections are large. Coupled with the nice friendly welcoming service, it enhanced the enjoyment of the meal even more.
The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The place is clean and spacious, with plenty of free parking and an easy in & out parking lot, even though it's located on busy main roads. It's guaranteed to be worth the drive and dealing with traffic, as the first bite of their delicious food makes it all worthwhile.
No exaggeration.

Delicious Shawarmas and Great Service!
First off, the shawarmas here are great! I can't get enough, haha. It's one of my favorite places to eat during my lunch break.
I love their red and green spice sauce; it's delicious and packs a punch. The customer service is also great. If you're looking for tasty skewers, shawarmas, and gyros, come here.
It's worth it for lunch or dinner. Plus, it's right next to Carkeek for a sunset and a gyro, yes!
