Gyros and Tzatziki

Gyros & Tzatziki is a perfect spot for great casual Mediterranean food w/generous portions and cozy booths. My go-to plates are the Lamb & Beef Gyro Plate and the Chicken Kebab Plate. The plates come with the most delicious jasmine rice, salad, pita and creamy tzatziki sauce. The Rainbow Appetizer combo and Spanakopita were perfect for sharing, and the Fried Cauliflower w/tahini sauce is a must-try!I have also used them for catering work events - everyone loves the food, it works for vegan/gluten-free, and is super affordable!

Don't talk to me I'm eating.Once in a while a plate of food puts you in a trance enough to sit there eating silently with your friend. Don't talk. Just let me eat first. Thoughts going through my head "how can this taste so good," "I wasn't expecting this tonight," "this is the most tender gyro meat I've ever had," "how nicely this sauce pairs with the rice." Service was so friendly. Walked in for Friday dinner cus it's try a new restaurant night. Surprised it was empty. They got quite a bit of takeout orders but no one eating in there. Only the workers in there. Was greeted immediately with a smile. Wasn't sure if I had to order then seat myself or politely ask to get a table first. Sometimes it's confusing at some places, I didn't want to be weird. Asked for a table then server brought menus to us. But the next person who walked in just ordered and paid right away at the cashier then sat down. So I don't know.I wasn't given water with my sit down meal. Cus I ordered the food without mentioning water, so it must be one of those don't ask don't get kinda things. As requested. FOOD:*lamb & beef gyro plate: what is this goodness! Meat is so tender. How nicely it sits on top of this rice. Pour some tzatziki sauce over both and eat it. Delightful. Comes with a side of seasoned tomato much like a salsa consistency. There was a red liquid salsa sauce too on this plate so you can pick what you want to dip your meat into*hummus with chicken kabob: o what now this is something new I haven't tried! Delicious! The garbanzo beans are blended enough that the hummus is completely smooth. Good salty flavor. Comes with triangle pieces of bread oops I mean pita to dip. I slathered the hummus all over my pita. Pita was swimming in hummus. Why not, cus they give you plenty of hummus in that bowl.How many times did I shout "delicious" throughout and after this meal. Maybe 4 times. Am I talking to myself or to my friend. Doesn't matter.Sangria available in glass, half, and full size So clean inside. Got that new restaurant feel.

I've only had the falafel burger and the falafel plate, and both were delicious. The fries are also really good.As a takeout place, Gyros and Tzatziki normally gets four stars, but as a restaurant, it's definitely three stars, and I'll tell you why.This place needs better management. Failing that, one of the three guys who is normally working when I come needs to take charge, because the current setup isn't working.You order at the counter, which is common at many San Francisco restaurants. One of the three guys will help you, but sometimes, one of them is just sitting or standing a few feet away from the cash register, but he won't acknowledge your presence. It's as if only people who will actually take your order are allowed to speak to you. Once you do (eventually) place your order, you're in for a wait. If you're eating in, that's all right, because the food is definitely worth the wait, and the small seating area is normally comfortable. If you're taking it to go, however, they refuse to say anything about where to be while waiting. I normally just sit down at an empty table because I know it will be awhile, but when I stand, I always feel like I'm in someone's way.When they're busy, not only does your food take forever to come out, but the service just goes out the window. Again, only three guys working, including the chef, but why does one of the remaining two guys always seem to be so stand-around-looking-dumb lazy? And the funny part is that it's not always the same guy; the one I used to think was a hard worker was sitting in a chair near the back last time I came. It was like he was in a timeout; he wasn't looking at his phone, just yelling random things to the cook occasionally while the other poor guy had to deal with four different parties eating in, plus all the to-go orders.So order it to go before you arrive. Or sit down and try to figure out what's going on.

How disappointing to see a place I use to love coming to often become so undesirable. The last time I ordered from DoorDash and it was not what I remembered it to be so I just assumed it was an off day, but came back again and the food was not good. I don't know what they changed with their hummus recipe but it use to be so creamy and rich in flavor. Now the consistency is not as smooth and it tastes like store bought hummus.The meat was once very succulent and perfectly seasoned but now is dry and hard to eat. Staff aren't as nice and helpful as they once were. Hopefully they can go back to how they were when they first opened.

3.5 STARS Nothing says, stick to your ribs like a big hunk of meat on the bone. And, that's what got me through the doors at Gyros & Tzatziki. They had me at lamb shank! Opening in January 2023, Gyros & Tzatziki comes from the co-owner of Gyro Xpress in The Castro. They're open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining. There's one dog-friendly outdoor table.I've haven't ordered delivery but I often see BOGO Free offers for their wraps and fries on UberEats. M E N UStandard Greek & Mediterranean staples: Falafels, salads, soup, wraps, hummus bowls, and gyro/kebab plates. They also have Mediterranean-Mexican fusion tacos. Vegetarian and vegan friendly.Sweets like baklava available but they looked quite sad...soggy and drenched in syrup. Tap water available upon request. No liquor license. F O O D* Braised Lamb Shank w/ veggies, rice, pita ($23.99): https://tinyurl.com/2u5d4z4rA feast for the eyes and your tummy, a bed of basmati rice topped with a meaty lamb shank served with a salad, warmed pita, tzatziki, and hot sauce. While the lamb shank was meltingly tender it was very bland: https://tinyurl.com/wzjtu9yk. Other pictures show the lamb shank bathed in a sauce/braising liquid with garbanzo beans and carrots. Mine was only topped with the garbanzo beans and carrots. Def had to make use of the accompanying creamy tzatziki and briny hot sauce (olive aftertaste). The basmati rice and warmed thick pita were fine. The side salad of romaine, tomatoes, and pickle had a very acidic vinaigrette to cut through the meatiness. S E R V I C EFast-casual. Pay at the counter first, seat yourself, and your food will be delivered to your table. They'll bus your table afterwards. Food took a while during an early weekday lunch (one of two customers). A M B I A N C ECasual and cozy with pillow throws. Awkwardly quiet so some background music would be nice. P A R K I N GChallenging street parking. Overall, unless a resto has a specialty, it's hard to give a fair review based on one dish but that one dish I had was decent enough. 3.5 stars rounded up because the lamb shank's texture was on-point!

I tried Gyros and Tzatziki today. It was always on my to-do list. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the kofte plate and asked if he could combo it with a chicken kabob, and he did so without hesitation Customer service was on point. While I was eating, my server came multiple times to see if I needed anything. That's usually what I notice when I go to a restaurant. Whether they do or they don't. I appreciate it a lot when the person serving me checks on me regularly. You guys were friendly and approachable. The restaurant is really nice the environment is quiet and pleasant. I enjoyed everything this place had to offer from the good food to the customer service. I rate this place a solid 10/10.I will be back for more. Thank you for the experience. You'd be surprised how many big name establishments lack on service. You didn't miss not once. It was one of the best dining experiences in quite a while.

I ordered take out from this establishment recently and was sorely disappointed. I was interested in trying it because the ratings are good and now that I have it blows my mind that the ratings are as high as they are. The one pro was the service: the staff was polite and helpful. Other than that, all cons. My food was not ready within the time frame they'd given over the phone, which happens, and I wasn't upset about until I got the food back home and looked at the quality. I'd ordered the grilled salmon plate and the salmon was over cooked and dry, and seemed to have NO seasoning on it AT ALL. The rice was gummy, as if it had been sitting in their rice cooker with too much moisture for hours. And, to add insult to injury, the baklava was hands down some of the worst I'd had .I love baklava so I was particularly saddened by that. The baklava was so soggy and had been too soaked in the syrup. There was no crunch, even the nuts were mushy. The whole thing tasted like simple syrup and had the texture of wet dough. I will definitely not be back, and you shouldn't waste your money either.

Food was great. Chicken kabob was well flavored. Food ready quickly. Hummus was perfectly seasoned and good consistency. Fries were great but cooked somewhat inconsistently. Some were undercooked and others overcooked. However, there was a smell in the restaurant of mold that was so heinous we made a dash for the door. We'd planned to give this place a try for dine-in, but as soon as we walked in the door, it was so foul that we decided to order to go and took a walk around the block while our food cooked.

I'm writing this review in hopes for this place to do better! I really wanted to support this place but 3/4 of my salmon was uncooked properly which could've been a major health hazard. I also ordered a gyro that fell apart as soon as I started to eat it so I was overall disappointed. Mistakes like this can turn away a customer for sure. Just very negligent cooking in my opinion.

Food is consistently good! Delivery is always fast. They usually have good portions! Have had lamb, chicken and beef.
