Kalos Grill

Had a wonderful experience at this mediterranean hidden gem in Tempe! Kalos is a build your own mediterranean grill offering build your own bowls, wraps, and plates. All of the food is super authentic and the spot is owned by an immigrant family. The service was wonderful, they were very passionate about their food and it showed! Everyone was so friendly. Perfect spot to grab a quick easy, reasonably priced, authentic mediterranean meal! Inside is very casual. I built my own bowl with beef shawarma and the shawarma was perfectly cooked and seasoned. This meat was recommended to me and I see why! I also tried the sampler platter with all of their goodness piled into a massive tray. My favorites from this platter were the falafel, their pita and tahini, and their baba ghanoush. Plus, their baklava was to die for!!

Ordered dinner from DoorDash. The 1/3 lb angus burger was moist & delicious. The falafel was crispy & tasty. The fried mushrooms were not good at all. Definitely will not order those again. Would definitely get the burger again.

Food was good. They would not honor the $3 off of $10 purchase. Said they didn't know how to do internet coupons. Very poor response and I believe he was the owner. Beware!!!

Where do I even begin? The employees were checked out and lazy. It's hard to explain how frustratingly laid back they were. The food was slimy and gross. The cilantro jalapeno hummus looked like something that had already been digested. My friends and I left horrified.

After telling James, the owner, about the hard and dry Al Pastor I wrote about in my first 3 star review on 12/17/20, he said he removed Al Pastor right away from his menu, because he found his employees (like college age kids) did not take the care to grill the expensive cuts of pork that he chooses to purchase, so that it isn't overcooked. Indeed Al Pastor is no longer on the backlit menu board. Kalos Grill has the best gyros I ever had in my life! I found other restaurants' gyros, like Green Corner in Mesa, was always dried out, because the restaurant keeps it on the heat source turning and turning while all the juices drip out and moisture in the meat dissipates. Well smart James puts small amounts of freshly shaved gyros in a covered steamer, so the meat stays moist, soft, and hot. When supply gets low, he shaves more, so the steam doesn't blanch out the flavor. James told me he buys the best quality gyros he can get. Then the freshly made jalapeno and cilantro hummus is so addictive, I could eat a whole big bowl with a spoon in no time, like you would eat a bowl oatmeal. But it is expensive for a small container.Everything tastes so good. Salad is so fresh, the dressing is sooooo "homemade". You can taste the fresh herbs in the salad. I had chicken wings here, too, pretty good. They let me pick only the flats and fry to order for me.I eat here with a Local Flavor 50% off voucher that I buy when LF has 25% off sales and I usually order the same thing: One pound of gyros for $15, and $5 worth of the jalapeno and cilantro hummus. I have a class in the industrial area near Kalos Grill every Monday at 7 pm, so I come here to eat, before I go to class. James had to cut back on his hours because all the thousands of workers in this industrial area, now work from home. I saw James turn away people who arrived at 6:30 on Monday (I only come Mondays due to my class nearby). Before Covid, James said seven employees at the counter could not keep up with the business, and they worked sooo hard! Now it's like I am the only one there at 6 pm Monday nights. James is good to me, treats me like family! I don't have any family. So I hope you go eat here often, and support this business.Yum ! The gyros smells SOOOOO GOOD in the takeout box in my car!

No idea why the good reviews. Food is mid and the portion sizes suck. Especially for the fact you have to pay extra for toppings. The whole place has a sad vibe too. The pita bread was under done and crumbled. Would not recommend

Service wasn't terrible but far from great. The bread on the pita literally CRUMBLED for the gyro , tasted not anywhere near the original, health inspection aka OSHA needs to really come in. The baba ganoush tasted like straight up GAS. Someone needs to either buy them out or demolish & shut down.

How this has over 4 stars I'll never know. Ordered a wrap and was increasingly disgusted as each step of the food was prepared until the coup de grâce when the worker wrong me up before finishing the food, manhandled every element of the POS station, back front side, then went back to shoving the same gloved hands in all the ingredients and wrapping up the wrap. I was rendered speechless and having paid, I slinked out the door, meditated in the car and ultimately threw it in the trash. I'm not that sad though it looked disgusting. Vile and I'd be ashamed

Overall 4.5 stars is appalling to me. Food is good enough, but literally the worst ordering experience I've ever had. And why is the old lady screaming? Just sit back and watch as they work, not a clue what they're doing. I've had better service from people texting at the same time.

I wish I could put a zero star for the absolute disgusting costumer service that my husband and I got this morning from the miserable old lady behind the counter. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and the way she was training the young girl was my first red flag with how reckless her attitude was to her own fellow employee.Nevertheless, we get our breakfast sandwiches and I go to pay and still go to give a tip (preferably for the new girl not the other nasty employee). I accidentally hit the zeros too much and charged a 20$ tip instead of a 2$ tip. I told the lady and asked her to cancel that and refund me so I can tip them the correct amount. She began to argue with my husband and I that she cannot do that because it's already been processed. We informed her kindly that she could, to which she scoffed and then canceled it within 30 seconds of actually trying. Then proceeded to tell us "you need to pay attention next time I can't keep doing this for you." Interesting, because this was my first and absolute last time in that establishment. The new girl was great. Hopefully a manager sees this and retrains his or her miserable staff member.
