Spartan Pita & Gyro

Well priced menu, clean bathrooms, clean resturant, quick service. I have tried several items and everything is great! I love the Gyro sandwich with the salad or greek fries. The fries are awesome when you want a treat. The salads are big. You definitely can share. The real greek salad is my recommendation along with the chicken. It’s well seasoned.

Little Gem: Food was delicious, we loved the gyro pita, chicken Slovaki plate, and tzatziki.
Great service, reasonably priced. Someone finally got it right!

I would live to give it 4 stars but I had to subtract a star: chicken was tasty-​but very sparse-​my Chicken Pita was mostly lettuce and tomatoes-​with a big dab of sauce at the end of the sandwich. The sauce was very tasty but would have loved it evenly distributed through the sammie or on the side. The side salad was HUGE and full of fresh veggies and good dressing. Amp up the chicken and I would be «pita» happy.

They messed up my order yesterday, but they were very apologetic for making the mistake. The owner remade our entire order for free. I appreciate them fixing their mistake, and delivering quality customer service.

Delicious!!! So happy to find a low-​cost, friendly little Greek place in the center of town again — we’ve been bereft since Cyprus Grill left Town & Country. This place is a little further east, but not too far, and it’s clean, inexpensive, fast, and tasty!
We shared the fried calamari, hummus & veggies, and a chicken souvlaki plate. Everything was flavorful, hot & fresh, served up quickly and by a very friendly staff. The calamari was served with a light marinara-​like sauce (not thick and heavy), lots of flavor. The hummus was smooth and creamy and paired well with cucumbers, carrots, & celery (there’s also a hummus plate with pita).
The souvlaki was served with rice, green beans, thick toasted bread, & chopped onions & tomatoes. The tzatziki sauce was thick and rich with flavor. Plenty of food, it was perfect split between two people.
We finished with «Boom!», the dessert with no name — Greek yogurt with honey & walnuts, served with fried pita sprinkled with cinnamon & sugar. Oh, MY. This is worth everything, right here. SO good!
We will definitely be back!

This place was really good just wasn’t the best I’ve had in the valley. Seems like I find a gyro place with great fries and not so great gyro then vice versa. That was the case here. The Greek fries were great though I’d like some Greek dressing or something on them so they aren’t just fries with feta but we’re still good. The gyro was just alright. It tasted like the meat was almost getting stale and the pita was ripping open because there was so much meat it was impossible to get all flavors in a bite. Just meat.

I tried the pork pita as well with the Greek Fries and had an explosion of flavor, I must say it was good for a first try, will definitely try other options on the menu

Great food, great service, very very clean!
Thank you so much for a great dinner.
We’ll definitely come back.

The lamb chops are amazing! FYI they only sell them on the weekends. This is a little trendy spot that you would overlook unless you knew it was here. In addition to the special of the day that I had, there are so many menu items which look delicious. I can’t wait to come back.

Arguably the best tasting Greek food in Phoenix. Food is simply delicious and staff friendly. Will definitely be visiting this place again.

I have been coming here for 7 months now maybe 3 times per month and everything has been good. I have been eating gyros for almost 30 years now and theirs is very good. I have ordered a few other things from time to time but I keep going back to the gyro. It is loaded with meat and I get that and a drink and I am satisfied. The place seems to get a lot of take out orders but not a lot of people eating there around lunch so it is very quiet when I go.
I personally see no reason for a bad review (I see some here) but every place has a bad hour or bad day occasionally. Plus you can’t please everyone.

I had both a gyro and a horiatiki salad that were delicious. There was a lot of tzatziki on the gyro with chopped tomatoes and onions and the meat had just a little browned and crispy but not dry. I usually like feta on the gyro but forgot to order it this way but it was plenty good without so I didn’t worry about it this time. The salad was good with plenty of cucumber, feta and tomatoes. Tomatoes weren’t that tasty but that’s pretty standard these days unfortunately. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll be back.

The gyro pita was just was this pregnant girl was craving! I can’t wait to go back and sample more of the menu. Friendly staff and I got my order quick. I’ll definitely be a regular!

Second time here and the owner has been there to work the counter and prep the food. Ive had the spartan burger each time so to me its best of both worlds. Beef patty and some gyro meat with tzatiki sauce. Generour portions fresh food clean place reasonably priced. He is very accomodating and even ended up swapping out the patty for a special patty that was part of the daily special that I just didn’t read until after we finished order and cook had put regular burger on the grill. It’s clear they want to have customers leave happy and come back for more. Ive had the salad and greek fries on the previous trip. I dont think Ive had the baklava or the dessert special they had up last time. For sure next time!

I like to consider myself a guy who enjoys a good gyro, and pretty good at determining what makes a good one. Let me just start off by saying that I didn’t think the gyro was anything amazing or special, but it was good. I prefer more tzatziki sauce than what they put on it, and it’s not as stuffed with meat as others I’ve had. If I were just judging by the gyro itself, it would probably be more like 3 stars
What made this place a 4 star is twofold. One: the restaurant itself was extremely clean and updated, and the bathroom was really nice. Two: get the Greek fries. They are really good fries loaded with feta cheese and they bring lemon slices to squeeze on the fries. Add your own salt and pepper to your own liking and that’s what really makes this place good and not just average.

So i visited Spartans less than a week after they opened. We haven’t been back. We loved Elie’s and was excited another Greek/​Mediterranean place was going in that location. While seeing the gyro loaf there on the spit was kinda nice (that whole kinda knowing where your food comes from before you consume it), the meat wasn’t anything to write home about. For the 3 of us to eat dinner, it was quite pricey.

Ordered all sorts of goodies and enjoyed it all: gyros, souvlakia, avgolemono soup, salad, tzatziki, and fries. The avgolemono soup is an authentic Greek dish you don’t see at many Greek restaurants, so this was a pleasant treat! Liked the food so much, I had Spartans cater my last party; they made me 80 perfectly cooked chicken and pork souvlakia. Only downside is that they don’t deliver in my neighborhood!

I love having another Greek option in the ‘hood…
Spartan is a tiny little gem located on Thomas just East of 44^th St, which makes it convenient for anyone who frequents the Target /​Costco shopping center across the street.
I’ve now been a few times for take-​out and while it hasn’t disappointed, it’s not somewhere I’d drive out of my way for either. That being said, if you are close by and craving a Gyro, Souvlaki, or Greek Salad, this is your place!
I’ve had both the Greek Salad with chicken and the Chopped Salad with chicken. If you like dill, go for the Chopped! You can’t go wrong with the french fries or gyros either…
Ingredients are fresh, service is friendly and speedy, and the prices are right.

Holy Greek salad goodness, Spartan knows how to make a MEAN Greek salad! And that says a lot coming from me, i’ve had just about every Greek salad in the Valley! :) The veggies are SO fresh, chicken kabobs were grilled to perfection and the homemade vinaigrette dressing was light and perfect. We also got their «Greek Poutine» which was a bowl layered with french fries, feta cheese, Greek green beans w/​red sauce (a Greek tomato sauce) and topped with feta again. I could literally eat these all day, every day, they were SO good! My boyfriend had the Gyro Cheesesteak and was raving about it the entire time that he was eating it. I had a bite and oh my goodness, it really was amazing. If you’re looking for a quick, easy, fresh, and delicious lunch or dinner spot. This is your place!!!

Very good! Meat had great flavor, fries were super delicious, portion sizes are huge. Staff was very friendly and my order was made upon ordering and it was served hot and fresh.
Tiny place but clean and welcoming! A little bit pricey tho!
