Shish Kabobs & Gyros

New owners are two women who are so sweet and work so hard. Great hot dogs, delicious Gyros. The former owners let the place slide. This place is so clean and the personable owners will remember your name. If you took this off your list because of the former owner, try it again, you will be pleasantly surprised.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is amazing, the girls that work there are awesome! Me and a couple work buddies go in for lunch every once and a while and they always remember our names!

Some of the best gyro meat I’ve had. The restaurant is small and very clean. The cashier took my name for the order and when I exited the restaurant she called me by name and wished me a good weekend. Very kind.

The gyros and egg rolls here are fantastic and the staff is very friendly.

This place is great. The people courtious and the food is tasty. Glad I took the trip.
The mix of Greek and Vietnamese is a great combo.
I RECOMMEND the gyro spring roll. YUM!

The grilled chicken salad is not made with real chicken. Disgusting. I paid nine bucks, ate one bite and dumped it. The «Greek» dressing was flavorless Italian. The tomatoes were overly ripe. Sure, the worker was nice and remembered my name as previously stated in these reviews, but was that worth the wasted money? No. Did she not notice I threw the salad away and left ONE minute after she brought it? Unreal. I will never go back. Why is it so hard to find a REAL Greek restaurant in this huge town!!?

I love it here! They knew my name the second time I came here! The food is delicious and my favorite is their falafel pita-​yummy.

Hooray for new ownership! The food is as good now as it once was and the family owners are as nice as can be! Bebe, Lisa and their family make a pointed effort to know you by name and remember the details in your order. Favorites include the chicken pita wrap meal and the kufta platter. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the French fries are perfectly crisped. I crave the French fries now! The staff makes every effort to know you, your order and ensure everything is as you like it. They’ve upgraded to a nice flat screen tv, so it’s like dining at home. Bebe, Lisa and their family wish you well — by name — and look forward to your next meal. We love supporting locally owned neighborhood spots and have already been back four times in two weeks!

I’ve not been to many gyros and kabob places before so I decided to try this one because it seems like a nice little place that’s geared toward getting your food faster. I was not disappointed, the food was excellent, I had the ground beef combination (#2) and the beef was extremely tasteful and full of flavor. I got my food in a quick manner and the staff was extremely helpful and courteous. I won’t hesitate to go back here for lunch while at work, it’s a delightful place right in the middle of Scottsdale.

Okay I have to admit, I hardly ever write reviews but I had to for this place! So the restaurant is running under new ownership, and it seems like they’re doing their very best keeping it the way it was before. So, I went in and the owner was working the register; she welcomed me with a sweet smile that made me feel very welcome.
Anyhow, I decided to order the #16 which is the, «The Gyro Meal». It’s got a very promising sign on it saying, «Most Popular :)», and let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed.
The owner arrived with my plate engulfed with a huge amount of fries and a large, mouth-​watering gyro, filled with so much meat and nice, thick slices of tomatoes and onions. I realized I finished the whole plate without feeling absolutely gross from eating so much. Once I finished eating, I can honestly say that I wanted more to bring home. Try this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

OK, this is sad. I went in @ 4:30 since I knew they closed early on Fridays to pick up dinner for 2. My wife & I absolutely loved {past tense} the place. Their Gyro plates & Gyro salads were tops! «WERE-​tops» I noticed their signs up with new telephone # AND later Friday hours AND Saturdays, so I asked since when? And the very nice ladies said since we are NEW OWNERS and we want to capture more dinner customers. They used to close late Friday afternoons for the entire weekend. OK, good, I was encouraged.
Well… I ordered two complete Gyro Dinner Plates to go. Allow me to say to our surprise when I got the food home that:
A} The large styrofoam dinner containers are sectioned off with main/​large area + 2 much smaller slots for sides. What was in the main/​large area? Nothing but totally flavorless yellow rice — did not even have a rice flavor = nothing/​nada AND pita bread.
B} One of the smaller back side dish tiny pockets had the SMALLEST PORTION of Gyro Meat I’ve ever seen when called a Dinner Plate and it was not very flavorful. Certainly not delicious, a bit greasy AND did not by any means come close to the wonderful & crispy Gyro meats the former/​original owners had always, always served = an utter disappointment.
C} The other smaller back section pocket had hummus. It looked like the yummy same the former owners served. BUT, it did not taste as good by any means. Overly oily and quite more bitter.
D} The accompanying side salad container had a decent size Salad with onions, a very few greek olives, Feta, extremely razor thin cuke slices {more like shavings} and a few thinly half slices of tomato. The salad was OK, not great. Missing was the crispy iceberg lettuce the former owners always served and decent size pieces of cuke & tomato. The best part of it was their still reliable dressing.
So, I don’t know how else to say it BUT, this was no mistake or accident. The meats are NO LONGER up to par or crispy-​ness and, now, quite greasy. The portion on their most expensive take out dish was so small it wouldn’t fill a yoghurt cup. And sadly the Hummus was way, way, way sub-​par.
This place under the original/​former owners on a scale of 1 to 10 served «10 Quality Foods»
No one goes there for ambiance or comfort, it’s for take-​out or sitting at simple, old-​style luncheonette type tables. It’s not uncomfortable but, no one goes there for ambiance — you used to go there for good food. Only now, it’s not.
I am not one to trash a place and I won’t now. Simply, if, if, if the new owners read this and wonder why they’re loosing customers, it’s because they have a long, long, long way to go and significantly improve before we will ever go back. When you pay reasonable money for good food, you are satisfied. Here, now? NOPE!
One can only hope they improve. In the meantime, we’ll just have to rely on the Gyro place on 92^nd & Shea in the Sprouts Shopping Center… it’s back up along the far right-​angle of the shopping center southern end. Their Gyros & Greek food is now, much, much better.
It’s terribly sad when a local place you rely on goes south in quality literally overnight. But, if they don’t seriously improve, they will not last a year here. Too many other good options in Scottsdale. AND yes, the restaurant business is never easy. It just begins and ends with quality. Especially if you expect it. This place was, as little as a few weeks ago, great. Not anymore and that’s sad!

Best place in north Scottsdale for fresh falafel and hummus. She makes her falafels from scratch! Only open til 6 pm so great lunch spot or early dinner.

For a falafel, hummus & pita lunch this place is hard to beat. This small, family place serves up hot & delicious food at reasonable prices. Falafel are homemade and quite tasty.

We arrived just past 6 PM closing time. The owner was kind enough to let us order and prepared two excellent meals. An excellent Gyro!

I was really looking for some good comfort food and I’m so glad I found this little hole in the wall. This place has a very relaxing, «family-​owned» atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and the food was excellent. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

The food was excellent, I am new to the area and it’s nice to have this kind of cuisine nearby.

I (and my family of 6) really wanted to like the food since we own an independent family restaurant in the Silicon Valley, ca!
But unfortunately most of us did not like it. Ordered the following:
1. Four falafel wraps (two with pita and fries). The falafel balls were overbooked, too big and not cut up to be able to eat properly, the pita was too chewy. The sauces were good but there was no real spicy sauce, only siracha
2. The salad (instead of chicken falafel was substituted) and it was not bad per my father but again the falafel balls were overcooked. He did not find anything special and family owned about the place.
3. Sister had the gyro plate and enjoyed it thoroughly, the meat to her was perfect
4. Brother had the chicken gyro and unfortunately the sandwih had only a few pieces of chicken and thought it lacked taste
Overall, being family we really wanted a family touch!

Love the falafel wrap with tahini. Falafel is homemade and not from a box. For $ 5.99, I could eat here everyday. Maybe I will.
Has outdoor seating as well, which I like. They seem to have fewer hours in summer… Like it looks like they close at 6pm M-​F and at 4pm on Sat in summer. Hopefully they will update Unilocal with any changes to the schedule.

Absolutely love this place.
Gyros and other Mediterranean food is not a common plate in Scottsdale. Not many restaurants accept the challenge to serve this kind of food and other chain brands that offer greek food have closed down. I’m so glad people are fond of this place.
They have a variety of different food. You can go for a hot dog or possibly a burger, or go with something different with a greek salad. Prices are reasonable based on location but the food was excellent. Come in for a try!

Gyro salad was big it equals 2 meals for me. Most popular item that everyone I saw getting was the gyro pita meal.
And the gyro meat melts in your mouth
