Gyro Cafe

The owner of this place is really kind. I stopped by to grab a quick to-​go gyro for dinner today after my last time stopping there at least 4 – 5 months ago. It was just 10 minutes before their closing time but the cook (owner) and the lady helping out were super nice. They didn’t make me feel like I was disturbing their clean up time at all.
To my surprise, the cook (owner) asked if I had been here before because he seemed to remember me. I was actually taken by surprise and answer yes. However, given that I previously had been here so often, that it was more of a pleasant surprise, rather than a creepy one, that he would remember me. What more about this place was that while waiting for my food, the owner gave me a complimentary side of rice to go for free, too :)) He was super kind and mentioned I got it because I seemed like a nice person hahaha :) I guess that’s how I trick people into giving my sad look some complementary thing :)
Well, mind you, I’ve only had gyro and some of their greek fries before, but had never before tried their rice… MY GOSH… THE RICE WAS EXCELLENT! I don’t know how he made it. but IT WAS SO AROMATIC AND TASTY THAT EATING RICE ALONE WOULD BE JUST AS GOOD. I’m definitely a convert on their rice and will likely have some sort of meat with rice instead of as a gyro next time! :)
Thank you! I love that Gyro Café exists in my neighborhood :)

Love this place. The owner is as genuine as it gets. If you order chicken he makes it to order and will warn you it takes 15 minutes to make.
Gyro meat is superb and everything is fresh.

Best Falafel in Seattle! Food is authentic and falafel is made fresh from scratch. I will drive out of my way to grab a gyro here.

Delicious! I got the beef and lamb plate, and my date got the chicken shawarma. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I loved both the lamb and beef and the chicken, and I would definitely get the lamb and beef dish again next time. Place is small and very casual. The chef/​owner working was kind and gave good recommendations.

Great place, owner/​chef was very friendly and did everything in the store on a Saturday lunch stop. Place wasn’t very busy, but there was a wait for food because he’s the only one in there making food for everybody. Great lamb and beef plate, and chicken sharwma

I ate at this place a few times when it first opened, and stopped because service was too slow. (Perhaps that was because I ordered chicken, which takes 10 – 20 minutes.) Then, reviews here mentioning the lamb and beef gyro, got me interested in the place again so I took a friend and we both had the lamb and beef gyro for lunch today. It is big and as tasty as others have said. The meat is juicy, the filling is ample, the pita is fresh and heartwarming, and the spicy sauce gave it tang.

Best baklava I have had in years. Not cloying sweet, or soggy, but a nice balance of nuts, honey, and crispy filo. We love the falafel gyros so much that we rarely order anything else. Big and messy, with crispy fried falafel and soft pillowy pita (which doesn’t have much flavor, but I love the texture contrast). Very friendly service.

Excellent food. I always get the lamb and beef gyro and it’s always good!

Great food. The cook adds a lot of flavor to the dishes. Exceptional value for the price of the food and the location.

Food was excellent, we were even offered an extra plate of rice which was delicious as well. Would return again

EXCELLENT GYROS!!!
Had the lamb and beef gyro with a side of basmati rice. BEST gyro I’ve ever had! The meat is very well seasoned and makes all the difference! Couldn’t have been better!!!

Not that great of a place at all. I ordered a gyro and fries. The gyro meat seemed kind of stale and not juicy and fresh like other places. Also, they don’t give you very much meat and try to cover it up with extra veggies. Also, the guy seemed kind of insulted when I asked for 2 sides of chile sauce. Awkward. Finally, the tables were dirty and the floors were uncleaned.
Finally finally, I went in here a couple days ago asking politely to use the restroom. They had 2 customers. The girl at the counter said no despite me obviously not being scruffy and despite me asking twice. Rude.

Went for the first time today and had the chicken gyro. It was amazing! If you are in a hurry and want chicken, call in and order ahead of time, because they cook the chicken fresh when you order and takes 15 – 20 min. Definitely worth the wait though! Oh and if you like spicy, definitely add on the hot sauce!

Delicious Middle Eastern food at very reasonable prices. The owner and staff are friendly and take pride in ensuring that you enjoy your meal.

BEST GYRO MEAT EVER. There is absolutely no other gyro place in Seattle that is as good as this place. The falafel is great too, but I always order the lamb and beef shwarma because it is just too good to pass up. Only downside is they sometimes close early or sometimes for a whole week when Hassan (the owner) is out of town… There’s been two times that I’ve been super excited to eat there and it’s been closed, but alas, you can’t be too mad at the hardworking owner for taking a much needed vacation.

I have been here a few times and we have had various items on the menu. Good fresh and and fairly quick. The gyro is our go to. Greek fries are yummy. Chicken shwarma is great. The customer service is always on point. Very friendly. And it’s clean!

The falafel is really unique, unlike others I have had. The balls are bigger and the flavor is almost a little Indian because of what looks and tastes like a turmeric addition to the spice mixture. One of my favorite things about this place is being able to substitute hummus for tzatziki. That makes the wrap completely vegan, and provides far more substance to the meal. The spicy addition is just sriracha, which is a little boring, but it works ok. The vegetables are always fresh and crisp inside the wrap. The pita holding it all together is large and fluffy.
The price (about $ 8 after tax) is a little more than typical for just a falafel sandwich, but based on the flavor, freshness, and hummus, it is justified and worth it.

Homeboy was crazy nice thought he was about to offer to do my taxes food was and oasis of lamb and tzatziki super rad place

The lamb and beef plate is to die for, the gyro is really really good very well seasoned just melts in your mouth!!!

Amazing and delicious. The owner is very friendly and the food is a great price.
I come here all the time since it’s so good!
