Omega Gyros

I ate lunch here today. I ordered the gyro combo which came with fries and a drink. Half of the drink selections were marked out of order. The place was empty, the first booth I sat in was broken, and the food was so-​so at best. I will keep looking for a great gyro, this wasn’t it.

Very good gyros sandwich. The meat was tasty and pita was fresh. Great ingredients and taste.

Absolutely delicious, gyro was served straight out of the oven with delicious ingredients. I will definitely be coming here again.

Best gyros and tzatziki sauce. French fries are sometimes soggy but the delicious gyros make up for it.

Ehhh… it was okay. The gyros barely had any meat on it. Being from Chicago, they pile it on and it just tastes better. The Gyros Place is the closest I’ve found to the Gyros back home, and it is delish. I won’t be going back here.

I love this place. I usually call ahead for pickup, and order the greek salad with gyro meat. So yummy!
It’s too bad that the place is so slow. If it were in a more populated area of Riverview, no doubt they’d be a lot busier.

Not too impressed. My wife and I were pretty much the only people in there at the time, and while ordering I asked if my wife got a drink with her meal, which was the chicken gyro and salad, and was told no. I figured for a $ 10 meal there should of been a drink but I guess not. I asked her if she wanted a drink and the employee taking my order rolled his eyes at me. After getting the food I was disappointed at the portion sizes. I’m not a big guy at all and was still pretty hungry after I was done. The side order of olives was a joke and didn’t even finish them. The ice tea on the side of the drink dispensary wasnt even cold. I will not be going back too this place for sure

Fantastic! Just like Chicago!!! Married a Greek and thi is authentic! The fries are fresh, they are the bomb!!! Don’t miss this place!!!

This is my favorite Gyro place! Great Z-​sauce friendly staff and of course yummy Gyros! Defiantly the best Gyros in the east valley :)

I love this place and stop by every time I head to the movies nearby (Cinemark). I sometimes am a creature of habit and once I find something that I thoroughly enjoy I tend to try other dishes. I always get the gyro platter. The amount of food on this platter provides me with at least 3 meals. I think the only thing that disappointed me was the fries one day. They weren’t bad but not as fresh as I had hoped (it was probably a sign that I didn’t need to eat fries).
Hmm. thinking of this place makes me hungry. Maybe I need to make it a Cinemark/​Omega Gyros afternoon…

I came here because of the positive reviews here on Unilocal,and Unilocal,you let me down…
I forgive you though, because generally you’re spot on and I love you!
That said, I only tried O.G. once and it was only the chicken kebab sandwich, but it wasn’t good or pretty or tasty. The whole sandwich was pretty bland and the onions and tomatoes were huge chunks I could barely get my mouth around (they were bigger than the chicken pieces). It was so wet that the pita turned slimy and soggy in the 1 – 2 minutes it took me to take it outside to unwrap and eat. It also dripped everywhere. :(
I couldn’t eat more than about half of it (some of the chicken, a couple of tomatoes and the edges of the pita). I wasn’t that sad, but I was still hungry. Don’t worry, Chicago Gyros, you’re still my #1 spot for Greek!

Ate here while going to some movies at Cinemark 16 — it is the closest eating establishment in walking distance and I have to say, the food was fresh, and delicious! I had the gyros plate and the well, pocketless pita bread, and I know tha is not the name of it, was also soft and fresh — and they gave plenty of shaved gyro meat. You also get of a bottle of he Tzakziki sauce to put on the gyro of your choice.
I also had the Dolmades and I thought they were excellent, just a hint of mint, which maybe is part the rice and a nice chunk of feta cheese to nibble on between dolmas.
All in all a nice example of this sort of establishment.

Great prices & fast service.
I ordered the Gyro. Nice amount of tender, well-​spiced meat on a soft pita. The taziki sauce was on the side in a squeeze bottle. Put as little or as much on as you like. I like this approach.
Unfortunately, the first bite caused the pita to split in half! I had to eat it in 2 open face pieces.
Still very good! If this was local, I’d stop in once or twice a month.

For the price this place is great… It is a hidden gem off the beaten path that you have too look for. The owner is always working and is always friendly.

I thought this place was expensive and the service was bad. We had to call to the back to get an employee twice when we needed something.
I went with my two young daughters and we tried the curly fries (good!), the falafel (okay), did not care for the falafel sauce first given and went back to ask for garlic sauce. It was much better. Also we tried the stuffed grape leaves. The girls loved them but I did not. Total cost was almost $ 19 and we drank water!!! That was the cost for three side dishes/​appetizers at a counter service place.
The best part was actually being able to sit on the comfy couch afterwards outside while my kids played in the splash pad.

Expensive.
Gave me bubble guts. Gave the person I went to lunch with bubble guts.
I think not.

It’s almost been a year since I first discovered Omega Gyros, and I must say I still find it amazing. Its about a 20 minute drive (without 202 traffic) but I find it is always worth it.
I’ve tried a lot of gyros in Phoenix, and I mean A LOT. After Omega Gyros I can say my search for the best gyro in Phoenix is over. My gyro is always hot, fresh, and consistently tasty, not to mention they’ve got great tzatziki. Their Greek fries are also delicious.
Now I must say some of their other appetizers aren’t quite as flavorful, but really, when the gyro meat, tzatziki, and fries are THAT good, who wants anything else? Seriously, take a look at the gyro pics on here, its not greasy or fried (what’s with Phx places doing that? gross) and tastes phenomenal.
If only I lived closer!

After navigating the area for 20 minutes, we finally located Omega. It was a Sunday afternoon, and the place was deserted. There was no one even at the counter when we walked in, but a gentleman (and I use the term loosely) did appear shortly thereafter. He took our order, but was not friendly at all. I would have thought he would be happy to see a customer, but I guess not.
I ordered a chicken gyro with fries. The gyro was okay, but I question whether it was even chicken. Tasted just like the regular lamb/​beef. As the gentleman had again disappeared to the back, I couldn’t ask. I would have liked baklava, but there was no one to order from without calling out.
While the food was okay, I felt like an intruder rather than a patron. The man working apparently couldn’t be bothered to ask how our meal was or make sure we didn’t want to order anything else. I get that this is a fast casual restaurant, but a little courtesy would go a long way.

This was the third place I attempted to go to for dinner last night. The first place, Azucar Peruvian, was right across the street from the motel I always stay at and I’d been meaning to try them since last summer. I drove over there to find they were now out of business with a sign up advertising the place going in next. I snoozed, I loozed.
The second place was supposed to be open till 8:30pm according to their Unilocal listing, but was closed when I got there a few minutes after 8.
The third place, here, highly recommended on Unilocal,was also out of business. FML.
I finally ended up at Yogi’s Grill, also in Riverview Center. Thank goodness they were open!
I have no idea when this placed closed or why, since their reviews were so good.

Seriously, this place is called Omega GYROS, and everyone’s giving lower ratings solely for the other entrees! I’m telling you, for Gyros, this place is legit!
I’m a huge fan of family run places, and for better or worse it shows! There is SO much more meat compared to other locations, and it’s so juicy! Eating in, they give you a whole ketchup style bottle of tzatziki, so you can season both your fries and gyro however you want!
There are a couple drawbacks. If you order the dinner portion, you can only choose rice, salad, or fries; as opposed to other locations that give you both rice and salad. However, whatever you choose they give you a LOT! Also, they recently restricted drinks to one refill, which is kind of silly but more than enough for me.
If this place weren’t so far away, I’d go multiple times a week! Best gyros I’ve ever eaten! Hopefully it stays running for a very long time.
