"A Saturday afternoon, and getting hangry. Tried another place in town, and couldn't get any service. Drove right over here, wasWelcomed and seated right away and placed orders. We both knew what we wanted, in a Greek restaurant, gyros!Very pleasant waitress brought our gyro dinners which included a large serving of good gyro slices, a mound of rice, a smaller mound of very tasty carrots,and a nice little salad.Service was let's say, relaxed! We don't mind waiting for freshly made food.Everything was tasty, ample and pleasing. Old school ambience fitted the small town atmosphere.Living in Queen Creek, it's an easy drive, and worth it. We will be returning."
"Came in to this place for lunch and work- which was great because they had wifi. The place itself is decorated with middle eastern vibes/modern- cute. The place wasn't super busy and the service by the man at the front was kind and tentative. I ordered a platter to try a couple of things and I was very happy with it. The meat was cooked just right- not over done or anything"

"I come here sometimes if I don't bring lunch when I'm occasionally in the office. This gyro spot opened up recently, maybe a few months ago. It's great! My favorite item is the spicy gyro- the one called piccado. Very nice, it has jalapeño peppers for a nice spice. The firefighter one is very similar but has grilled red peppers instead. Both good. Service seems to have sped up since the first few times I went, it was very new back then. The staff is friendly. The place is clean and has plenty of seating. I just noticed the second level of seating today so my coworker and I ate up there. It's perfect as an office lunch spot so I wouldn't come out here unless at work, but if you're in this area at one of the nearby offices, or live nearby it's a great option for a quick and tasty meal. Didn't go crazy with photos, just a few from my meal today."
"This is hands-down, the best Greek food closest to Laveen. If you live in Laveen and are looking for good Greek food for a good price, come here, this will not disappoint you. Their ingredients are fresh and their rice and Gyro meat is full of flavor. Everything is made to order and even their side salad has fresh mixed greens. Their tzatziki is so garlicky. It is amazing."
"I found Cafe Mix when lunch plans a friend suggested sounded bad (outdoor only when it was 119°), so said friend told me to suggest some other place in the area. I scoured the general area looking for restaurants. Cafe Mix fit both of our dietary requirements (hers vegetarian, mine omnivorous), and we both like Mediterranean food. So we met here. I arrived early, and I was hungry, so I ordered the dolmades. They were really good. Service was super fast.When my friend arrived, I got a gyro without onions. Everything was fantastic. Their hummus is good. I really liked the gyro meat.I can't say I'll be back because it was so far from where I live, and I have a Greek restaurant by me, but I do recommend coming here if you are in this area."
"Finally found a great place in our area!!Fresh delicious food, clean and cute inside, the atmosphere is very calm and warm.The service is great, get are always welcoming and cheerful up at the front!*Greek Salad tasty and fresh*Beef Gyros very good*Gyro Combo this is what we get every time we have eaten here*Mediterranean fries are so amazing!!!But to be honest everything on the menu looks amazing."
"Such a cute place! I ordered the Vegan Wrap and it was really good. Big portion size and lots of fresh ingredients. I thought it was a tad dry, so next time I'll ask for extra dressing or hummus. Looking forward to trying all the vegan options!"
"Love the Greek food at this restaurant! The gyros are cooked perfectly. Nice and thin and a little crispy on the edges. Can't wait to go back.!"
"The food was fresh and was pretty good. I got the chicken shawarma salad and it was huge (for over 10$ it should at least be that, mind you!) with a very nice portion of meat and salad and veggies. It was very filling.I didn't look at the menu (gasp!) before arriving and was a bit caught off guard once I was inside looking at the menu while being so very very hungry (the girl at the front counter seemed indifferent to my questions). I had just made a long drive from the other side of town to this side of town and really wanted beef shawarma but they only had chicken shawarma.The ambiance is good, clean place, efficient but nicely decorated. I think the staff could've been friendlier but that's minor at this point."
"Mary had a little lamb and shared the shank with jon...and everywhere that Mary went, jon brought his fork along. Have been here many times as the food prepared by Chef Azad is a delicious culinary feast. One can see and smell the freshly prepared aromatic cuisine upon walking in. Always on the premises cooking, preparing, overseeing it all, is Chef Azad making certain food and excellent service is spot on. Plates ordered since finding this hidden gem:The *lamb shank plate is amazing! A large shank so tender, moist, and delicious with bountiful rice and salad to accompany any size hunger. *Chicken Schwarma filled with flavor cut right off the turning rotisserie. *Gyro plate so tantalizing makes you want more!*Large Greek Salad comes overflowing with goodies.Please see the photos of delightful goodies!Have always ordered to-go but I love seeing families dining in this cozy restaurant.Easy to find with plenty of parking. Enjoy!"
"This is a DIVE, only one table outside, wild dogs running around and a drive through liquor store next door, can't get any more "whole in the wall" than this. The food is great so don't be intimidated by the location of this place. Everything is fresh and made to order. The gyro plate is outstanding.Parking may be tricky but again the food is great."

I've lived in Florence for nine years now and only recently tried Mt Athos, which was really a shame because the food was excellent. I believe that it's because I'm not really into Greek food,so I just didn't give it a shot. But they do pasta, burgers, liver and onions and so on. So don't wait, give them a shot. I am sorry I didn't do so until now.

Tried Niro Gyros for lunch this week and ordered the gyro lunch combo. My colleague mentioned how good this place was when he use to work near this location. The food came out good and service was too. Lots of seating but not super busy inside for lunch. A lot of folks seemed to be ordering to go.

We've watched this place develop over the past few months and finally had a chance to come have dinner. Met Danny and Dennis, brothers and owners. Their parents own the other location in Tempe. Danny said it took about a year to get the place up and running. It's bigger than you think! They have a whole upstairs space set up for dining as well and you can fit a good size group for dining. You are met with a huge wall mural of Chicago on the main wall, which is awesome. The family is from Chicago! They have a big menu with many of the traditional Greek foods. We decided to split the Supreme Plate, which comes with steak, chicken, and gyro meat. The steak and chicken are grilled to perfection with the perfect amount of seasoning to bring out the juiciness of the meat. And their gyro meat is awesome! Long strips of perfectly cooked lamb and beef, cut from their huge loafs of cooked meat. The plate comes with some choices and we had the rice and chose the lentil soup and then ordered a separate side of Greek fries and Greek salad. Ok, so I already talked about the wonderful meats...the rice! OMgosh...the rice is cooked to perfection with seasonings that include sumac, which was so yummy. And the lentil soup? Ok, so we are officially hooked on the soup! It has a light curry-like flavor and almost reminded us of pea soup but it's made with lentils. Thick and creamy with bits of lentils and seasonings throughout. I think this soup will become a regular thing in our home! The plate is also topped with onions and tomato chunks, sprinkled with paprika I believe. Danny said the onions are seasoned with some lemon juice I think? My wife loved them and said they were so much better than the pickled ones you typically see. We had two pieces of warmed pita which was soft and perfect to wrap your meat into. The garlic sauce was great...just the perfect amount of garlic to make a tasty sauce and not knock you over! The salad is fresh, covered with feta, green bell peppers, and a tomato slice and the Greek dressing is fresh and good. We actually brought the salad home! The Greek fries were cooked to fried perfection, sprinkled with feta and comes with some of that delicious Greek dressing, which I poured about half the container on mine. So, so yummy!Their baklava is perfect! You are given a good portion and it isn't too sweet or soaked in tons of honey. It's buttery, just a tad of sweetness and crunchy with the chopped pistachios. Overall we have to give a 5 star review for this place. It's incredible and awesome and I hope they do well in the location. They are surrounded by businesses so their lunch crowd should grow in time...especially when word-of-mouth spreads. Our favorite new Greek place! Thank you so much Danny for talking with us and we wish you and your brother the best of luck! You deserve it!

The Greek Bowl is just so damn good. The people working here are friendly and helpful. Food comes out fast and you really can't beat the fact that they have a drive thru!

My son and I visited on Thursday. I rarely go to lunch. We were celebrating. He loves Greek and I'd been eyeing this spot when in the area. We didn't have to wait long to place the order. They have plenty of seating. We were served quickly. My son scarfed his down and said he enjoyed the meal. I was able to eat mine for lunch and dinner. My only complaint was I wish there had been more than one olive in my Greek salad. I wish there would've been baklava or some other Greek desserts available, too. Food was good, prices are reasonable, and the restaurant was clean.

A small family owned restaurant serving good Greek food. We ordered the gyros plate, gyros sandwich, and their trio's appetizers. Let's just start off with the gyro meat (5/5). For newbies, basically it's a blended mixture of lamb and beef like a meatloaf but instead of baking, it's cooked on a spit with their seasoning. Even with the lamb, the meat was not gamey and doesn't over power the beef.The trio has baba ghanoush- roasted eggplants, hummus, tabouli-parsley/lime salad. (5/5)Affordable- definitely coming back for their portion side and price target. Sorry forgot to take pictures, was hungry after our hike

Pro-tips: If you're placing an order online, do not do it through Yelp, which is through GrubHub because there's an up charge. Instead, just go to the Spitz website and order directly from them.Highlights: I am a huge spitz fan! I've had them in several states and I was so excited to see one in my hometown. The food is delicious! I love the flavor combinations and the healthyish ingredients. You can't go wrong with the street cart wrap. Compared to a lot of similar Mediterranean casual places, Spitz is a much better value.Lowlights: I don't love traveling to downtown Chandler because of the traffic and limited parking, so I do wish it was in another location.

This place is bomb! I literally work right across the street and have never eaten here. Food came out super quick, and it's delicious! Friendly staff and cute painting on the wall. Love this place! definitely want to come back and try more.

"This restaurant serves delicious and very affordable Mediterranean Food. I ordered the Lamb Chops and Gyro Salad. Both meals had incredible flavor, and the portion sizes were enormous. The staff were very helpful and friendly, I highly recommend this restaurant."
"Stopped by here randomly while waiting for a work appointment, and I got their Gyro wrap with some fries. The fries were very good but the gyro was one of the best I've ever had!! Highly recommend the gyro wrap. The place seemed clean and the seating is nice. The service was good too, very friendly :)"
"I went with the gyro and it was fantastic. The meat was flavorful and moist. The pita bread and sauce were very flavorful as well. My table was a little dirty from the previous guest so hopefully they can check the dining area more frequently in the future."
"Great food, great people. I am glad I gave this place a try. I've ate the greek platter, chicken focacia, & California, Mexican burrito. All very delicious and plentiful. Really, really good salsa too. If your in the area deffinetly give them a try."
"I'm still playing catch up on some of my regular pre Covid regular restaurants. Zs was one and I'm glad I ordered carry out tonight after work. I ordered the gyro platter and there's enough food for two people or two meals! It came with rice, potatoes, pita bread, and a salad. The meat was wonderful and so were the potatoes. Just the perfect amount of seasoning. The prices are incredibly reasonable. So glad to be back and enthusiastically will return next for the moussaka."
"Not too sure what to think about this place the Greek restaurant trying to be fine dining maybe 20 years ago it was but today standards not really the prices are not too bad until you get them the portion sizes are super small so it's and you really paying double the price because of this start off with the hummus very small portion literally it's like 3 tablespoons and two pieces of bread we have to order more bread and whatever they charge you the flavor was pretty plain who didn't have their pomegranate sauce on it it would have been really Bland I got some lamb dish can't remember the name of it but basically was lamb rice and tomato sauce pretty small Ramekin that was okay I like the lamb it wasn't too gamey the rice with it was cooked perfectly but not a whole lot of flavored and flavors what you expect from Greek food or any foods in the Middle East lots of spices in oil always fantastic but they missed it here maybe they're trying me to Americanized not sure so after hummus and the lamb dish I was still hungry was going to get a dessert baklava until they told me that $6 price for one triangle so it half a piece of baklava one bite I guess not server is pretty cool though laid back met some good recommendations few things you told me not to get but overall it was okay may try it again in the future not sure yet"
"Decent gyro on Apache in Tempe, I requested added something spicy on my gyro and they made it for me, very good. Nice people"
"Great place to have some delicious food, and then shop for some goodies to bring home. Had a mezze sampler, and beef shwarma. Mezze included generous portions of bannaganoush, hummus, dolmathes and the white sauce like tzatziki. Plenty of pita bread to scoop with.My schwarma was delicious, and ample. Had to share the mezze plate, can't eat that much anymore.Counter order, friendly guys, they bring to the table, in our case, quickly.The store is so stocked with everything one needs to cook middle eastern at home. Clean store. Will be returning."
"I eat here quite a bit with both family and colleagues. Nice casual atmosphere with good food and outdoor seating when the weather is right.The Avgolemono soup is fabulous. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it at home because I love it. So bright and delicious.They also have a good selection of salads, bowls and classic Greek fare.The flaming cheese is fun and delicious as is the baklava cheesecake. Yum!I've always had good service and good experiences."
"Great Food, had the Chicken Kebob for lunch with the greatest Potatoes I've ever had."
"Hubs and I worked up an appetite after watching a movie nearby. We decided to check out Phoenicia Cafe. We were greeted and seated right away. The space itself is quite spacious and bright, with plenty of available seating.We ordered the following:Arabic coffee $4.99Shrimp ghallaba $18.99Gyros pita $10.99Baklava $2.99The coffee was fantastic. It was strong and unique. I really liked it. My entrée was the shrimp ghallaba which had shrimp, peppers, onions, tomatoes, carrots and rice and hummus. It was flavorful. The portion was quite generous, and I had to take some of it to-go. Hubs had the gyro and he said it was okay. Before leaving, I just had to try the baklava - we ordered it to-go and proceeded to eat it in the car on the way home. It was delicious! In fact, we wished we had ordered two!"
"I've eaten inside Athena Pita 4 times so far, always combo #1 of gyro, fries, and a drink. Have zero complaints. The counter staff is always friendly and speedy. The food comes out hot and tasty. Their fries are to die for- so crispy!Seems like the poor reviews are coming from folks who used delivery services. Just go and eat there! This type of food doesn't travel well."
"Pleasantly surprised with this little gem! I was able to order ahead and pull through their drive through which made it super easy to get during lunch time. The quality of the meat was very good and the gyro was filling and delicious. We also ordered the baba ghanoush which was equally as fresh and delicious. This is a great spot in the east valley for Mediterranean."
"The name of this place reminds me of the character Nick from the movie Bachelor Party, but the food here bears no resemblance. I was staying at a hotel close-by and this was a quick, convenient lunch option. The lady who took my order was helpful and patient while I decided what I wanted. I was a bit hungry so she thought the platter was the better option. She also didn't make fun of me when I pronounced it Gyro and she said Gyro.The Gyro (or Gyro) platter was pretty big. There was a lot of meat which had some crispy edges and was delicious. There was plenty of rice (I chose that over fries). The lettuce, tomatoes and red onions were all fresh and delicious too. The small salad even had 2 Greek olives.It could have come with more Tzatziki, but they always could use more so I ordered an extra one. It think it was only 0.50 too which is a plus. I should have asked for extra olives too, but didn't know they had any!It was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all, even though I was super hungry when I got there. Soda pop refills were free which was good on a hot afternoon (108 or so). I'd go here again if I wanted a gyro, but there are a lot of other choices around too."
"Okay this review update is to help my future self! Yes we conquered yet again. We are that crazy to drive all the way from Surprise to get a salad from here! One of mine and my mom's favorite places to go!Customer service was awesome once again. You can see they really try hard. We realized after this second visit it is their sweet tasting balsamic vinegar dressing that makes their salads the bomb! So, note to self: arugula salad with balsamic dressing for me, for mom: cobb salad minus the corn and also balsamic dressing! It was funny to see as we too joined in on the adventure with many others picking up salads on how to get our salads by dropping one of us off at the door and driving around the block for a quick swoop to save $4.00 on parking for a well worth it salad. I don't mind at all, but my mom just can't get past it. Many food service drivers were parking right in front under the no stopping here sign. Haha I picked up my mom playing Judas Priest (Breaking the law). If this place ever has issues with foot traffic, do not close just relocate!"
"We ate here the first night in the area. We had the basic gyros and the baklava. The gyros were priced similarly to most Greek restaurants. The size of the gyros was large. Definitely got our money's worth. The staff was ver personable. The restaurant is decorated in a modern vacation-like motif. Very clean. The baklava was decent. I'm not a connoisseur of baklava. We are in the area for the winter. We plan on visiting again soon."
"There are a lot of restaurants that don't transfer their awesome qualities in a "to go" order, it's a calculated risk patrons take. In this family run business, our risk paid off deliciously. Mediterranean menus are daunting and I am the least educated on this flavor platform, but my gosh, if you love good food, beautiful flavors and healthy eating, put this place on your happy map!We are making more thoughtful choices in our food these days with our fitness, health and just wanting to feel good- the hummus alone, was a reason to keep coming back! The meats are all sumptuous the salads, fresh, breads, perfectly done rice, we ordered many items to try, check pics!"
"I am glad I decided to eat the food at NK Gyros! I stopped by and was greeted by Athena who was welcoming and friendly! She recommended that I go for a combo meal which was less than buying each food item separately. I took her advice and ordered a Gyro sandwich with a small Greek salad and lemonade. I must say the Gyro sandwich was DELICIOUS and was very stuffed! The combo meal was worth the money, however, it was Athena's wonderful and amazing customer service that was priceless. I HIGHLY recommend this Greek restaurant it's worth the money and the friendly service is hard to come by!"
"Greek salads & gyros are our favorite here! Authentic Greek food. So yummy! Only complaint is you get a very small container of dressing for a large salad and to get a second small container, are $1 each. A little high for such a small amount. However it won't stop us from going back!!"
"Great hamburgers and fries. Juicy burgers, crispy fries and I love their secret sauce. We eat out four days a week. J Willy's is our go to burger place. When we want our $$ to count, this is a great meal worth every penny."
"My new favorite Mediterranean restaurant! You pay at the front and then servers bring food to you. They even gave us free baklava. Food is a great value and tastes fresh. Good variety of options and quick service. Indoor/outdoor seating with a family casual vibe. Come to the west valley please!"
"Food was delish!!!! Usually basmati rice is plain, this rice was full of flavor. The gyro meat, Greek salad, pita bread, and tzatziki was all great!!!We ordered the gyro plate and souvlaki plate - at first it seemed overpriced until we got our orders. These include a LOT of food, well worth the price.I will say the chicken kabob was on the drier side, unfortunately just the nature of chicken. Would recommend dipping the chicken in a hot sauce or tzatziki.Store itself was very clean and modern!We will be back!"
