Gyro Hero

Dropped in on a Saturday around lunch time for a quick bite. My wife had the falafel pita sandwich and I had the Saturday special, a gyro with fries for $7.50. We also had a piece of baklava. The falafel was good - not the best ever though. My gyro was jam packed with meat. Onions, tomato and tzatziki complemented it as usual. The tzatziki seemed a little different from the usual, but maybe it was just me. It was still good. Both pitas were very good sized - no skimping here. Fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. A good fry. Service was friendly. Beverages are self service. Restaurant is an average for cleanliness. I will return! Especially for that Saturday special!

Fair food. Hole on the wall place. Overpriced. Nothing spectacular for sure. Overrated in my opinion. Won't be back. Cheers.

The sandwiches and falafel basket are very delicious. You can order a soft drink as well. How refreshing.

Ive been coming to this restaurant for around 5 years whenever Im in Norman for work. Ive been in here 3 times in the last 3 weeks and order the same thing...gryo and fries and everytime the meat has been very dry. I figured out what the problem is tonight. They arent cutting the meat fresh with each order. They are pre cutting it and letting it sit therefore drying it out. Probably wont be back which is a shame because I love me a good melt in your mouth gyro like I can get in Okc....

Not much for atmosphere, but the gyros are big and good. Another hidden gem on their menu is the chicken pita. The use a lemon sauce to add flavor and it is amaze balls. Try it with the Greek side salad for a heart healthy feast!!!

This place was pretty good and well priced. You get quite a bit of food! The pita with my order was a little dry but the one I ordered extra was better. The hummus isn't bad but could use more flavor and the salad dressing really had no flavor (just tasted like oil). The wontons looked overcooked but were AMAZING! I've never had the falafel before but they were really really good- crunchy and great flavor!

Gyros here are meaty and filling.If you prefer your gyro hefty and meat-centric, this is the place for you! Meat is seasoned right, perfect texture and cook, very tasty, and like I said, there is plenty of it. Pita super soft and not one bit chewy. If you want a salad mixed in, you may have to ask for it, because gyro comes with and only a little onion and tomato, no lettuce. Personally I prefer a little more veg and lettuce. Tzatziki was on point. Add a little of their cilantro-based "shug sauce" for a nice herbal and slightly spicy touch, but a little goes a long way.Regular menu prices are a little high, but they run daily specials that help some, including $5 gyros daily from 2-7 pm. It's one of the best deals around.Cook (owner?) is a a very nice guy, super friendly and proud of his food, as he should be. Location is simple, in a strip mall next to a gas station, so don't expect too much by way of ambience. It's more of a quick bite or takeout place.As good as their gyro was, I'm very much looking forward to trying more of their menu.

Great friendly people, great atmosphere and prices are competitive. Not as tasty as another similar restaurant that is closed on Sunday, also in all yea, I'd go back on a Sunday.

This place has literally the best falafel I've ever had in the US. I used to live in New York, and i genuinely prefer this to any of the top-rated (yelp, ny times) places I tried there. Maybe there's somewhere in Dearborn that's this good, but living in Oklahoma, I feel so lucky to have this nearby. Usually I'm a rampant carnivore, but this place is the exception for me. The tabouli is also unusually good, imo.

Though it has now been here for a while, Gyro Hero is still a relative "newby" compared to the other long-time gyros places in Norman: Greek House and Ole Towne.Gyro Hero has some things to really recommend it versus the older gyros places: It is slightly larger and more inviting inside than the others, if you are going to dine in and the customer service is far better than that currently at Greek House, which is sadly off its game since it changed owners again.The problem is one that I have never really encountered at a gyros place before. The meat is just not as tasty.How that can be the case, I don't know. Generally gyros places get meat from the same supplier, historically "Kronos" or a close facsimile. Most also use an "autodoner" for heating the meat, but I have seen other methods including heating slices on a grill that have turned out equally tasty meat. But somehow the meat here, though "okay" is just not as tasty as Greek House or Ole Towne. The tzatziki sauce is likewise only "okay" with Greek House being better and Ole Towne being the tastiest.The things that make it somewhat unique are the other offerings, which include include some chicken dishes, dolmas and other interesting items. Check their menu! For my palate, the most interesting and tastiest item at Gyro Hero is the Harissa Aioli that you can use in place of the less flavorful tzatziki they have. Of the two original gyros places in town, only Ole Towne Gyros and Kabobs offers as wide ranging a set of selections with better flavor. However, Ole Towne has had supply issues, while Gyro Hero is usually well supplied. So, though I would normally give the edge to Ole Towne, I have to rank Gyro Hero as currently being as good in a general sense because of the variety of dishes that they reliably have on hand. However, if you are in it ONLY for gyros, I'd likely head to Ole Towne or Greek House.
