Gyropolis

★★★★★ 4.5 (398) • $

"My boyfriend and I wanted a quick lunch and a quick Yelp Twin Cities search led us to Gyropolis in Bloomington. This is an old school Greek restaurant. The workers are old (Greek?) guys. I had a Greek salad and Steve had a spicy Gyro sandwich. Both were delicious and exactly what you might expect. The ambiance is old Greek restaurant. There were two sets of Bloomington police officers who stopped by to eat. I'm wondering if they offer free lunch to police which some restaurants do. They are in the midst of a big renovation: they're adding a kitchen, more seating, and a patio. The parking lot is misery, yet a steady stream of people came through to eat. It's priced right too. But beware: The spicy gyro is spicy!"

"My son chose this spot for his birthday dinner. He had been before, but this was my first visit. It's a cute little restaurant in a strip mall. The dining room is kind of small so understandable why they had so many to go orders. They sell some gorgeous candle holders. A bit odd sitting next to a shelf full of inventory.Thankfully the food more than makes up for it! The portions were huge and delicious. We ordered from an online kiosk and then they called our name when it was ready. They seemed pretty quick & efficient. I'd definitely go back, but probably get it to go."

Mediterranean Cruise Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (436) • $$

"I have been here several times and am mostly posting this review based on a cumulative experience--which is to say that, this family run establishment is a staple in the south metro that should absolutely be frequented if you like Mediterranean food...even more so if you are there during the lunch buffet (sample more stuff) or on a night when dancers are there (entertaining). On the most recent visit we had a basic salad with a hummus sampler and some drinks. The ambience is inviting, servers are friendly, prices are reasonable and the entertainment is unique in the Midwest. Can't think of anything I'd change...so 5 stars."

Christos Greek Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (236) • $$

"Went here on a whim during a lunch break while in town for a meeting, lucky us! The lunch specials are numerous, and we enjoyed everything we tasted! The Greek salad dressing was perfect, I loved the mousakka and potatoes and the portion size was perfect! The Greek lemon chicken soup was some of the best we have ever had, and the fish baked in phyllo was both gorgeous and tasty. Our server kept our drinks filled and was very helpful. Of note: the many healthy live plants filing the windows, YAY!"

"Back for lunch again!I tried the chicken kebab this time and it came with rice, a Greek salad, and some pita bread. I found the chicken kebabs to be well flavored, but it was a bit overcooked/dry. I could taste an earthy taste (cumin?) and paprika?. Pretty flavorful! And salted just right. If it was tender and juicy too.... It would be WHOA.!The Greek salad was awesome again. The feta was just phenomenal with the dressing they use too.... I'm almost developing a craving for it. There was also an accompanying white spead/sauce in a plastic ramekin. It was amazing.!!!!!! Sour, savory, TANGy (horse-radish / wasabi-ish). It went well with the pita bread, which was also good. Pretty standard, but well-cooked and fluffy.My only real complaint was that the lettuce itself was not cut through and through. The leaf was still in one piece (connected through the stem) but still easy enough to break apart to take bites.Friendly, nice, and good service again, too!"

Olympia Cafe & Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.4 (164) • $$

"What a fun, casual, and family run restaurant. We came for lunch early on a Sunday and it was very busy, but we got a table quickly.Service was a little slow, but they didn't rush us out either. I loved the funny signs too.I enjoyed the Taste of Greece I ordered. I will definitely come back."

Gardens of Salonica New Greek Café & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (137) • $$

"An underrated gem for sure! Made a reservation over the phone for dinner on a Saturday night. We were seated right away as there were plenty of tables available. Service was generally pretty slow, but our server was incredibly knowledgeable about wines, the dishes, and made great recommendations.Food came out as it was ready which for us was fine since we shared everything. We ordered the octopus, tyro, artichokes, and beets. The tyro is my favorite and I will always order it! Our entree was the small platter with gyro meat, chicken, and the mousakas. I think I'd order everything except the octopus again! I didn't love its texture. The restaurant is beautiful. I especially love all of the rock sculptures!"

Gyros Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (115) • $

"Ya'll I was not expecting this. This unassuming little place specializes in Mediterranean food and they also have a small shop where you can pick up any related International groceries. I honestly barely noticed because the smell of yummy foods hit me as soon as I got inside. I think they do most of their business as take-out or pick up, but we actually took advantage of the small dining area attached. The service is nothing fancy- order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. But ya'll- the food! It was really some of the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to the cities. That hummus -as the kids say- SLAPS! It had a little spicy topping on it and they served it with warm pita breads. I ordered a gyros platter and it came with enough rice to feed a crowd! Even the salad was delicious. I told my husband right away- this is 5 stars."

Greek Cravings

★★★★☆ 4.1 (98) • $

"Greek Cravings is in downtown St. Cloud MN. In the Petters building which is listed on the National Historical Register. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. I'm just guessing here but indoor is preferred during winter. But folks here are pretty tough so maybe not. GC is a gem. Very typical Greek menu with each item perfectly prepared. The classic gyro is a big portion so I skipped the fries but they looked good. Both the fries and falafel were made to order. The tabouli salad was more than my companion could finish. It got a rave review just like each item I tried. The woman taking care of everyone was in constant motion. She took orders once and remembered every selection for several people. Wow. The prices are very reasonable to the point of needing increasing. But not my call. I certainly would not have balked at higher prices especially knowing how great it was. Plenty of parking in the area using the Park Mobile app or kiosk. Well worth a visit. Enjoy!"

"Just passing through the area, I was waiting for my laundry and stopped in for a slice (2) of cheese pizza. Fresh hand-tossed crust. Generous slices with a nice mix of cheeses. The sauce is especially good. Many items on the menu in this little family-owned restaurant. Very reasonable prices. Wish I could try the calzones, stromboli, gyros, or pita sandwiches."

"Like it on the lighter side with the sauce.... Other than that it's soooo goood! Yummy flavors. Great texture and good service."

Jawad Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (35)

"We happened to drive by this spot and promptly looked it up on Yelp only to notice it held such a high rating. We love finding local, hole-in-the-wall spots that are tasty and cost effective. Being attached to a gas station's strip mall made this place memorable for sure. We split the #20 Kufta Shish Kabob platter and opted for the rice. The rice itself was packed with flavor, which is always a good sign. It came with a side salad, including a vinaigrette which helped lighten the meal alongside the tzatziki. The Kufta itself was flavorful and well seasoned, ensuring the gaminess of the lamb was not noticeable. The fries were spot on - meaty and crispy, exactly what we were looking for. The falafel was hot and fresh, giving us the classic falafel we were hoping for. Overall, we're glad we stopped. I gave a four rather than a five star rating because space is a bit dated and service was minimal."

Greek Grill and Fry

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (65) • $

"Your quarantined fridge is stocked with well-intentioned ingredients to help you *finally* eat clean/lean. Butttt....let's get real, weekend's here and your stomach is rumbling for anything else than what you have on the shelves. Cue: this place - a "Greek grill" in the corner of a family (and friend?) run gas station/convenient store/café mashup. The only dicey thing here is the tomatoes in their awesome Greek salad. Five stars for what it is: a American / Mediterranean fast food effort shoved in the corner of a gas station peppered with some tables to shovel your face before the grease cools...if your heart so desires. (yes, as of 20 Dec they had no chairs / were closed for 'dine-in'). The chicken gyro meat was on point, fries were fresh, hummus was smooth, and the baklava made me want Turkish coffee. ...The final test to know the food was good - my finicky mother took her leftovers! (She NEVER EVER does leftovers)Skip the chains next time you're craving gyros, pay the extra $.90 to support the small guy mark up and check them out!"

Falafel King

"We ordered falafel wraps and fried and the falafel was made fresh and the sandwich was quite good and included lettuce, onions and cucumbers. The price was very reasonable too."

Spicy Feta

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38)

"Formerly Naughty Greek. The menu changed somewhat so one of my favorites (the veggie gyro) isn't listed anymore. But you can get lamb and chicken pitas and falafel and all that still. In some respects there seem to be more options - which seem tied to what kind of sauce is on your pita or plate. We had the spicy classic with lamb, the falafel plate, and a classic pita with falafel. I'd say the mild spicy was pretty good (as someone who likes spiciness), and the portion sizes seem to have increased.1 star less though because we asked for NO DAIRY on one order and still had dairy. Granted, "feta" is in the name of the restaurant, but still. That can be really problematic for some allergies, so I hope there's better attention to special requests in the future."

New York Gyro

★★★★☆ 3.6 (30) • $

"This is my favorite gyro spot in the twin cities.This place may not be fancy but it's a gem and I'm glad to have found them. The lamb gyro meat is actually not dry here, it has tons of flavor and it's juicy. You also get to pick what goes on your gyro, which is one of my favorite parts of this! The portion is BIG, you get a lot for your buck here. This is where my boyfriend first tried a gyro and he became obsessed! This place is also open late, so that's a huge bonus. Parking isn't the easiest as it only counts with three paid parking spots right in front of the location but it's lake street so it's never really easy... but it's worth it ;) I've had their chicken and rice box in the past and it was also full of flavor, huge portion and a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I recommend you give it a try and don't shy away by appearances!"
