Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

This place is phenomenal! I eat here several times a week. My entire office is addicted. We order ahead and our order is always ready to go when promised. The food is affordable and delicious. This is the best Greek restaurant in AZ hands down. The free lentil soup with your order is delicious. The cherry on top of it all is the excellent customer service.

They have earned us as life time customers. Food is always great. Soup is always delicious customer service is amazing. Definitely recommend eating here.
(5)Andy A.
Great little Greek sandwich spot in Az. Gyros are very tasty and the fries with feta cheese was delicious. Love the Greek music playing in the backround! Every thing on the menu comes with free chicken rice soup and lentil soup and both are made fresh daily. Prices are under 10 dollars! Definitely going back!

We gave this place a shot and really enjoyed the food. It was well priced, plentiful, and most importantly - delicious! The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and efficient. We had no complaints.
(5)Cecilia I.
Love this place. Been coming here since they've opened with the family. Their menu has a variety and some dishes are vegetarian friendly. A definitely must try if you're in the area. They also provide bowls for soup while you wait. Lemon chicken and rice or Lentil soup. The great thing about it is that they are super friendly.
(5)Sean W.
I love this place! It is my favorite gyro place and their salad is perfect. I come here at least twice a month. I crave their delicious gyro!!
(5)Danielle S.
Great Gyros and baklava! Order ahead because it's not what you would call "fast" food. Definitely worth the wait though. Really nice guy at the counter. Free soup is good too!
(4)Matthew S.
I am giving them 5 for food and 5 for friendliness. Really nice people and really good food. John Stamos would approve of this place if he ever stopped selling yogurt long enough. I ordered ba ba soulvlaki also known as lamb skewers with a Greek salad. Oh if Bo peep could have known the wonderful taste that fairy tale would have turned out different. And to top it all off little baby cannolis. You know a place is good when you see 3 different people walk in and they are greater with welcome back your ussual.
(5)Dean L.
Far and above one of the best places I've been for a few reasons: 1) The food was absolutely fantastic. The Greek salad and feta fries were absolutely a wonderful start. The falafel is absolutely fabulous. I love it! It's made fresh, and you can totally taste it. 2) The service here is wonderful. It's not the extremely fast service, but it's the kindest. It's a family business, and they take their customers seriously. I'll 100% go there again!
(5)Debbie T.
I haven't written a review here in over 2 years, so decided to update my previous ones. I still order the same thing every time we visit...gyro combo. I can't seem to stray from it. And, each time, hubby and I still look at each other and smile when we take those first few bites. We love this place!
(5)C H.
Yum! Great place! They were particularly busy with big to-go orders when we visited and were very gracious. Theodore was awesome. Food was tasty, fresh and hearty. We were just passing through, but we'll stop next time we pass through town. :)

Recently in the area and looking for a place to get some lunch. Saw good reviews for this place on Yelp, so decided to give it a try. We stopped in about two in the afternoon on a Friday. We ordered a gyro and the Mediterranean fish sandwich. For $2 more you can upgrade to a combo with a choice of Greek fries or salad and a drink. My friend ordered the fries. I ordered a salad. The cashier asked if we wanted soup and gave us bowls for soup and a number for our order. The girl taking our order wasn't very welcoming and didn't explain the free soup, however we knew about the soup from reading about it on Yelp. The soup was delicious! A lentil and a lemon rice. They were hot and flavorful! We ate our soup and waited. And waited. And waited. Twenty minutes went by and two tables that came in before us got there food. Five more minutes went by and we decided to ask about our food. At that point, we were told that fish takes at least twenty minutes. Another five minutes went by before we got our food. Thirty minutes total. We were hungry and annoyed at this point. I guess that's why they offer the free soup! The gyro was good. The salad was good. The Greek fries were okay. Regular fries with feta cheese on top. The pita bread was the best part of the meal. The downside was the fish, which is what took so long. On the menu, it said it was grilled. Okay, so maybe it was cooked on a grill. What i got was what looked like a very thin, breaded, pan fried piece of fish. It was disappointing. I tried to take the breading off, but the fish was so thin there was little or no meat left to eat. At that point, I just gave up. After waiting so long and then getting something that wasn't cooked the way it was described on the menu, I was no longer hungry. The food was okay but not worth the wait. And, they really do need to change the description of the Mediterranean fish and let people know it takes twenty minutes to cook, especially at lunch.
(2)Vanessa K.
The food at Greek Gyro Express is DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC! They give soup with the purchase of a meal and the chicken and rice soup was the first indication of how great the food would be. The chicken souvlaki sandwich and gyro platter were outstanding! From the pita bread, to the homemade tzatziki... I have no doubt that everything on the menu is as tasty! Definitely recommend visiting this place. I can't wait to go back!!!!
(5)Penny A.
Their Greek salad with chicken is sooo delicious and you get a pita and choice of soup even to go mmmm so yummy. Great customer service. I picked up lunch for the office and they where super efficient and quick great prices as well.
(5)Amber H.
Literally the best Greek food I've ever had!!! Highly recommend!! I didn't think I liked Greek food until I ate here. Also love their chicken lemon soup and lentil soup. Everything I've had was delicious and the people working their are very friendly!
(5)Amy E.
Great food and excellent service. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and helpful!! I ordered the skewers and my husband had the gyro. Both were made to order and the meat was juicy fresh. The sauce was yummy too. Good place to go for a good bite to eat!
(4)Luciana L.
The gyros are about par with other places. Falafel is meh. Service is SLOW so don't come here during the rush. Seriously, they had 1 guy in the back and one in the front. It took 20 minutes to get our food and that's when I actually started keeping track. On the upside, they offer complimentary soup which was pretty decent.
(3)Nate B.
My favorite little Greek spot. I like the Greek salad w/ Gyro meat and the spinach pie. The rice pudding is also good. They give you a choice of chicken lemon rice soup or bean soup with every order. The place is always clean and the service is great.
(4)Ryan C.
28 mins to get served at lunchtime is unacceptable. That's great that they have soup available but maybe that should have been a red flag. The excuse that they make everything fresh doesn't work for me because it doesn't take 28 mins to make a chicken souvlaki platter. Lunch started off good but didn't end well. Please remove the word "Express" from your signage.
(1)Elissa K.
Not a bad spot quick still tasty but the staff are curious & they have complimentary soup which I think is a cool idea And They have a show that tours GREECE! I will go before I die!
(4)Vern G.
Free homemade soup! I had the lemon chicken rice soup. Very hearty, chunks of celery, and carrot, flavorful broth, tender, but not overcooked rice. Delicious! For my meal I had the classic gyro combo. Generous amount of meat, decent amount of tzatziki, soft and warm pita, chunks of tomato and onion. Delicious! Would return!
(4)Rosemary L.
Just left here, food was plentiful and I'm full! Soda machine not working so am dying of thirst have to stop somewhere else to get more drink! Food was hot when served gyro needed more sauce in middle, it was dry there! Overall it was tasty, won't be a regular but every now and then I may be back! Free soup was nice because the wait was not real short!!!!
(3)Donna D.
This is my go-to gyro joint, best one in the west valley. The gyros are always overfilled with meat and their salads are great. Fantastic quality and quantity of food and overall great value!
(5)Tim K.
Love it, been there twice in 10 days. You leave full but it is a good full. Great meat Gyro with salad, plus a drink and soup, for about $7, hard to beat that. Not much for decor, but service is quick and the place is clean. Sometimes busy but seems like they have a steady business with clientele that know they are getting great food at a great price. Order at the counter and they bring the food to you, help yourself to soda and soup. I will keep going back.
(5)colleen t.
I certainly found a new fast food go to. Im not a 'fast food' kinda gal but I will partake once in awhile. The free soup was good. Lemon chicken w rice. My gyro was excellent. The best part was I got to trade out the fries for a salad. Which was fresh and so yummy! Highly recommend!
(5)Taylor Marie B.
I've been going here for a long time and I was very disappointed today. The woman at the counter was VERY rude. When she gave me my receipt she practically slapped it down on the counter. She did not give us soup bowls and when the guests after us asked for them she acted like she didn't want to give them any either so I didn't even bother to ask. The woman obviously wasn't having a good day and was taking it out on her customers. Typically they give us sauce with our combos and we didn't get that either. The fries are normally very good but today they tasted like they had been sitting for a long while. Im thinking that they are trying to cut costs because even the salad and gyro was skimpy on the toppings, not like it used to be.
(2)Craig W.
BEST GYRO SANDWICH IN TOWN!!! This place has ruined gyros anywhere else for me now. If I'm the mood for a gyro no one else will do. Love both the lentil bean and lemon chicken w/ rice soups that are offered for free while you wait.
(5)Jeff J.
I was here last night to pick up an order. The young men running the store were incredible! These guys are great for business. Very friendly and professional. I messed up on my order when I called it in, and they took care of it. Great food...ok...I've eaten here on other occasions, but last night was by far the best all around experience. The Gyro sandwiches were stuffed full of meat! Love the food! Love the service! Love the professionalism from the workers last night! I'm a customer for life! Thanks!
(5)sandy k.
This place is solid! I ordered at lunchtime for pickup and the lady said it would be 15 minutes-- I got there in 15 minutes right as my order came out, perfect! I had the falafel gyro and it delicious. My gyro was overflowing with big falafels, I couldn't ask for more, and the pita was also nice and soft. My friend got the regular gyro and she said it was tasty as well. The tzatziki sauce was great as well.
(4)Arlen P.
My sister and I were in the area dropping off our Uncle at the nearby Quality Inn. He gave us 15 dollars for food. I checked Yelp to see what was available and saw this highly rated restaurant with a $ indicating a menu under 10 dollars. Gave it a shot and WOW! Yep everything here is under 10 dollars but the quality tastes twice as expensive. I got the Mediterranean Fish sandwich and my sister had the Lamb souvlaki. The demure hostess politely warned us that these orders would take a while, but honestly it really didn't feel like it took much time at all. Food was superb, can't believe we got such a great meal for the two of us for only 17 dollars. Plus, they have FREE SOUP that you can help yourself to while you wait. Two kinds even! Chicken lemon rice and Lentil Bean soup. Both very tasty. I'm only sad that this was just a one time deal and I'm likely to never pass this way again anytime soon. + Great food for astoundingly low price. -This place isn't close to where I live. -Minor gripe. The one TV they have is TINY. I liked the Greek scenery footage they were playing, but I had to squint to make out any detail. Could really use either more TVs set up around the place or one big TV.
(5)Lori D.
The wait was really long for dinner. I got the falafel plate and the hummus was overly salty and more of an applesauce consistency than a hummus spread. The flavor wasn't great. they were out of the spinach pie. The falafel was really dark and super spiced. Too strong of a favor for me. The salad was the highlight of the meal but not enough to keep me coming back.
(2)Elizabeth E.
Every single time we've been here, we've left satisfied! The food is delicious and the staff if friendly. They have soup while you wait, if you haven't tried it, you must!!
(5)Michael C.
Been here a few times when I go to Sam's and food tastes great and the soup is amazing just they need a bit of redecorating. Some paint and fitted booths and tables would be nicer.
(3)Sally B.
This place was really great! The falafel was tasty and plentiful and the soup was an excellent surprise. Everything was hot and fresh. I would recommend this place to anyone.
(4)Matt S.
The food is good, the free soups and good for while you wait but it's not fast. But it doesn't taste like fast food either. It's worth the wait just don't go on a lunch break.
(4)Mark S.
Popped in here after a visit to Sam's Club and honestly wasn't expecting much. Wow was I surprised! One of the better gyros I've had in a while, and one that rivals the late night vendors in Europe, but without the greasy feeling next morning. I tried the Chicken Gyro, but with tzatziki instead of honey dijon dressing. Absolutely delicious. The Greek Fries were yummy, though a little more cooked than I prefer. They offer free soup while you wait for your order. And the guys behind the counter were wonderfully nice and accommodating of everyone in the restaurant. You could definitely tell that they cared about making it an enjoyable dining experience for their customers. I know where I'll be going next time I have a hankering for some Greek food!
(5)Rachel H.
I have ordered out from this place twice both times the Gyro meal. The Gyro is legit. Very good and exactly what I was craving. The fries are good but would be a lot better if they were crisp. I'm not sure if it's the 10min drive home in which they get a little soggy but they are the reason for my 4 stars instead of 5. Despite the fries his place is really reasonable for the price and how good the gyro is and the amount you receive is the reason I will continue ordering from it.
(4)Phuong N.
I don't know why I drop 1 star but there is something about it that I can't give it a 5 stars. The food is good I have no complain but it is so so... very decent simple Greek :)
(4)Leah C.
Great food and very good customer service. We have been coming here for years and it's always good.
(5)Tommye J.
I LOVE this place for so many different reasons!!! It is clean. It is conveniently located. I adore the brothers that work there. They are by far the MOST personable service workers I have encountered in eons! They are amiable and TRULY seem to enjoy their customers. Every time I go in they treat me as though I'm their favorite customer, although I'm pretty sure they don't recognize me. The food is delicious, although I have had better hummus. The souvlaki dinner and falafel platter are divine. Someone in a different review may have mentioned the free lemon rice and lentil soups. They are hotter than the surface of the sun and delicious! Get there early or all the chicken will be pilfered from the lemon soup! The only real downside to this family owned & run restaurant is one of the gals who works there during the day. She just doesn't seem to enjoy her job as much as the brothers. She almost seems afraid to engage the customers. Perhaps she's shy or unsure if herself. Give her a Baklava and a hug and tell her to engage- customers like that!!
(4)Bobby H.
Their food was great! They give you free soups while you dine and let me tell you.. They are delicious!! Great little gem.
(5)Panama R.
Pretty good gyro. Ordered extra meat and they delivered. I have always hit up Pita Kitchen once a week but now torn. Well played.
(4)Annie V.
I try and stop in this place at least once a month, and sometimes more if cravings are not satisfied ;) Beleive its the owners son that usually runs the counter when I come in and gotta asy he is always very nice and service oriented! I mean how do I say this without offending anyone, usually younger people in the service industry have a real crap attitude, so coming here is really refreshing and the food is yummmm. Last time I went in the son was sampling their Greek Rice Pudding and all I got to say is OMG, sooo good :) So, give this place a try and support the local shops.
(4)Zachary C.
Looking for something different, I found Greek Express at the top of the best rated list. The location is easily accessible, the staff is very friendly, and the food is fantastic. I ordered a gyro sandwich with the Greek salad as the side, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
(5)Shawn S.
7 bucks for a gyro combo...cant beat that! comes with large sandwich, feta fries, a drink and free soup! Friendly staff i walked in at 9 pm immediately greeted by a young guy who im guessing was running it. Very tasty very filling and the feta cheese is just next level so bomb!
(4)Timothy J.
I just love this place. They have really delicious gyros and amazing fries. They put feta cheese on the fries, and for a little extra, they will give you a big bowl of feta. (What's with this dude and feta?) I'll tell you what, it's amazing and I love it, especially on their gyros and fries! Same with the tsatsiki (white cucumber sauce). I've never had a complaint about this place. Love it.
(5)Laura S.
I really wanted to love this place but was disappointed. The free soup was good but chicken was dry and not that tasty. Salad wasn't great either. The young man who works there is so nice and friendly. I really enjoyed talking to him
(3)Eric G.
Best Gyros around! and on top of that the soup you get while you're waiting for your food is very good too.
(4)Megan M.
I have been here about 5 times and have never received this free soup. The first time I went I was impressed with the service and the food, but since then, the food is pretty good but the service is bad. The girl who is at the counter most of the time is very short with customers and at times I've even felt like she doesn't want customers there at all. I love Greek food, but I doubt I'll be going back often since I feel like a burden every time I walk in.
(3)Thomas N.
Great food! Very nice staff. The takeout is easy. Complimentary soup du jour is included in every order. The restaurant should be kept cleaner/bussed.
(4)John C.
Not really fast, but good! We had the chicken souvlaki "sandwiches" - they come with tzaziki instead of honey dijon.
(4)Sophia G.
For the food, price & service this place has to be the best gyro restaurant in Avondale. It's a little hidden gem in this neighborhood. Food is always good. The service is always fantastic. The two young men behind the counter are always friendly & efficient. Definitely one of my favorite places!
(5)louis g.
29 minutes from the time on the receipt to when the first plate was placed on my table.....food tastes good but not 29 minutes good....also for the speed of service it was slightly overpriced...as long as there is no other competition this is the place to go for Greek food
(3)Richard M.
Service is always slow but the food is super good. Trust me I've tried a lot of Greek places and this is by far the best flavor and value. Their combos come with "Greek Fries" which is just feta but it adds to the whole meal. They also have free soups in the eating area!
(5)James A.
Hot cheese soup! Place was ok. Nothing to complain about. Clean, very nice staff. I got the Gyro, and salad. I don't eat carbs, so I tossed the pita and chowed down on the meats and veggies. Filled me up. Broke camp, mission complete. I'm used to Pita Kitchen, but thought I'd give this joint a try since it's a mile away. I'd be returning for sure. Good prices.
(3)Kimberly D.
I don't work far from here, so I like coming here once in a while for lunch. I always call ahead to order and when I get there, my food is always ready and waiting for me. I always take some of the lemon chicken and rice soup to go with me. I haven't had anything other than their Greek salad with gyro meat, which is delicious. The meat isn't dry nor fatty. It compliments my salad nicely and I love the soft, warm pita bread that accompanies my salad!
(4)Joe P.
Remember how your parents taught you that if you had nothing good to say, don't say anything at all? :|
(2)Dan T.
Anybody who has a bad review for this place is a complete idiot........u always get free soup, food is always hot and delicious and the salads are always nice, fresh and cold..........and the price is great too and the staff which is family owned is VERY NICE.
(5)Henry C.
Gyro sandwich is about average. I got the "Greek fries" which are fries with some feta cheese and herbs on top of shoestring fries. Fries were nothing special. But they offer two kinds of soup with your order, which was nice. Overall I thought the food was average, but they were really friendly and I liked the self-serve soup, so they get four stars. Food was three stars.
(4)Mo M.
Came here today with my fiancé. Had the Mediterranean Trout sandwich..... Ohhhhh myyyy goshhhh! So fresh and delicious. My fiancé had a bite and said the same. Its right off the grill so it takes a little longer than other dishes. We had somewhere to go but decided to wait the 10-15 minutes it took as the guy at the register assured us it was worth the wait. Definitely worth it. Very friendly customer service. Fiancé had the hummus platter and added chicken. That was pretty good as well. Pita was fresh and you could tell they make the hummus in shop. Anywho, great experience overall!
(5)Ken J.
Stopped in here expecting typical mediocrity, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality, and the service! Seemed short staffed, but those guys were on it! there was a big family and a few others making large orders, but those guys handled it like pros! Portions were very generous, prices were fair, and the food was great.
(4)Walter S.
This is my GO TO spot for a Gyro in the west valley. The Gyro combo has always been right on the money, You can order it with ether fries or Greek salad. Try ether and you will leave happy.
(4)FoodisMyLiLfriend B.
Folks saying this place is great, either have never had Greek Gyros before or are related to the owners. Not good at all. Small portions, dry, chewy meat with grissle. Yuk. Now let's all gasp in awe of Rob T. down there and his awesome skills at judging Jodi for having an opinion that's different than his. Dork.
(2)Geoffrey C.
Alway a very good lunch...make sure to try the chicken lemon rice soup that is complimentary with every meal! Opa!
(4)Katherine C.
I ordered the gyro plate and it was very good. The serve yourself soup you get to eat while waiting is wonderful. I ordered the spanakopita on the side and it wasn't the best but it was good. I will definitely go there again!
(5)Rob T.
Easily one of your best options for lunch in Avondale / Goodyear. Better-than-fast-food prices and portions, excellent food (especially the souvlaki and the gyro), and great service. Yes, the fries are very simple, almost McDonald's-ish, but the feta and oregano set them off and they are a great compliment to every meal. And if that's not your cup of tea, swap it out for salad for the same price. The free soups (Lemon chicken rice, lentil) are both fantastic as well. Now let's all gasp in awe at Jodi down there and her awesome skills at judging cannoli through glass. That's impressive stuff.
(5)Ray T.
Ate here again for lunch and the Gyro Sandwich was very good. Place was cleaner and service was good this time around. Will definitely go back for a Gyro and of course a couple of great tasting cannoli's. Wife loved the Greek Salad with Gyro meat.
(4)Seymour B.
Started out so promising.......why is it when small restaurants start out great they get comfortable and fizzle...been here several times and each time I see and taste the decline.The gyros were great then tasted as if they've been under the lamps all day. Why is it that the tables are always dirty and only a handful of people are seated? I wish I could say I'm going back.
(3)Joell H.
Very good food. Wait for my food was slightly long for an "express" restaurant. Although they did say it was an unusually busy day & admitted to being behind. Hopefully staffing issue is fixed for future.
(3)Lilly E.
Great family owned business and amazing food. I enjoy the meals and complimentary soup.
(5)Judy L.
My brother and I decided to go try Greek Gyro Express for lunch today. Went in and they were a little busy. We walked to the counter, they do not have a menu posted on the wall, just pics only a few selections. I found the to go menu on the counter, so pick it up found a few more selections. As we were deciding the order, the owner (I think) came out with a few samples of the gyro meat and told us to try. WOW, it is was good... Very good! I ordered the chicken pita meal (chicken gyro with onions, tomatoes, and Tzatziki; included Greek fries and a drink). My brother ordered the combo two meat plate (gyro, chicken, salad, tomatoes, onion and a drink). As we sat, the owner came out and told us to try the complementary soup (lemon, chicken and rice). I got two small bowls so we could try it. You know what? It was pretty good. I likie! The good came out looking just like the pictures on the wall. My chicken pita was very tasty and the Greek fries (fries with feta cheese) good. Everything was very good. My brothers plate looked good too. He inhaled it, so I am assuming he liked it. =) Next time, I think I might try the gyro pita.

I had actually never had Greek food before I moved to Arizona in 2006. Since then, I have fallen in love. Typically, I eat at Athenian Express in downtown Phoenix, as it is near where I work and I go with coworkers. This last week, I wanted to get my wife to try Greek, so I took her here with the kids. I like Athenian, and this place is better! The meat is piled on the Gyro, and the fries are great. Feta is an add-on for $.50, but well worth it. Overall, you just can't go wrong! Plus, as an appetizer, they have a pot of soup sitting there for you to help yourself too while you wait for your food to get done. For free! The only negative we had was my son had the spaghetti, and he didn't really like it. It didn't have any sauce like normal Italian-style spaghetti, and it had a cinnamon flavor to the meat. I don't know if this is a traditional Greek thing. I thought it was still pretty good, but he didn't like it.
(4)Kathy J.
Oh my! For the price, this is easily the best Greek food I've had in the Valley. The gyros are authentic, Chicago-style and the portions are hearty. The Greek salad with charbroiled chicken was delicious and fresh and I just loved the free lemon chicken rice soup. Nice touch that they remembered who we were and brought us our food - no need to listen for your number or hang onto your receipt. Kinda weird there was not a garbage can in sight (not in a bad way - who wants to eat near a trash can?) so we left our "real" dishes on the table to be cleaned up by the staff. I only wish this place was closer to home. They do have a TV but when we were there, it was playing a travel-related program about the different sites and cities in Greece. I'm not sure if they even have the means to put on a sporting event but I wasn't there to watch TV. Excellent food!
(5)Liesl R.
Let me just say -- YUM!! This was my choice on Valentine's Day (I know -- WHAT?! -- but we celebrate V-Day EVERY DAY of the year, it's just another day to take your $$). Anyway, they offer FREE fresh, homemade soup while you're waiting for your meal (Lentil or Chicken Lemon Rice), so we tried one of each. Delicious! I ordered the Gyro Pita and Greek Fries and my husband ordered the Gyro Combo Plate (Gyro meat and Chicken Souvlaki). The plates came and his platter was enormous, covered with meat and rice and pita, and my pita was STUFFED with the best gyro meat I've ever had. Not too salty, but very flavorful. The fries were lightly sprinkled with feta cheese, and they gave an extra side of tzatziki on the side. I could only eat half of the sandwich, it was so much food! Needless to say, I was a very happy girl! Try it, it's delicious food with great prices and a very friendly staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
(5)Richard J.
Great food Friendly Staff. Very reasonable prices...less than $20 for lunch for 2. FREE SOUP while you wait for your order. My wife and I have eaten there about 5 times, and now i start chanting "BAKLAVA! BAKLAVA!" as soon as we walk in the door to distract her while ordering:)

Friendly service & great food, free soup.

With 4 1/2 stars I was excited about this place... Then we went inside. I'm trying to figure out where 3 1/2 of their stars came from. You walk in and this place has a "grimy" look and feel. But I've learned you can't judge the food by the restaurant's appearance. We ordered our food with a very uninterested cashier (who obviously has better things to do that don't involve us or our order). We ordered hummus, a chicken gyro, a Chicago burger, a drink and a side of rice... $26?! WTF mate?! Henywho, we'd ordered so we had some soup while we waited. I didn't get the hype, the soup tasted like it came out of a Campbell's can but it was free and we were hungry (Free-ish, at $26 for what we ordered I'm sure we paid for the soup). Ate our soups got our hummus and it was ok, not the best but at least the pita bread was warm. We managed to finish our soups and our hummus and still waited 15 minutes for our food! 15 MINUTES, for a total of almost half an hour at a place called Gyro "Express". The cashier/ waitress threw our food on the table and walked away. My husband's Chicago Greek burger was a decent burger, nothing special and his Greek fries we're the same, just French fries with a sprinkle of feta cheese and oregano (not the deliciousness I tasted at Pita Kitchen). My Greek chicken pita managed to be dry even though it was smothered in taziki sauce, a ridiculous amount of taziki, I used a napkin between every bite and it was so annoying I gave up on eating it. We ordered a side of rice for our 2 year old, it was bland and because someone got oregano happy, it tasted like pure oregano. So that's my experience, it was a waste of time, money and taste buds. Never again.

Being a Greek himself, my husband knows good Greek food. We both agree the food here is delicious. However, I called on 3 X in 2 days to place a catering order. Finally decided to fax the order & hope they get it in time to prepare it all The food was ready when requested & delicious as usual. Other than the ordering process, I give this restaraunt 4 Stars!
(3)Kimberly W.
The food is delicious, I've never been disappointed. Portions are deliciously huge, food is just wonderful. The cashier's attitude sucks, but you can't have everything. I'll gladly take her "I could give a shit" attitude as long as the cooks in the back keep making delicious food :)

Free soup while you wait? Sample as soon as you walk in? Service from owner? Yes, Yes and Yes! I am SO happy I walked in here unplanned one day. Me, my husband and my daughter ate for 15 bucks! Everything was authentic and delicious! The service was fast and helpful and it just made you feel good. This is the ultimate lunch experience!

The best gyros on the west side! Heck, maybe even the best gyros in the Phoenix metro area. We always order the gyro sandwiches (practically exploding with tasty gyro meat, tomatoes, onions and yummy tzaziki sauce (you know, the yogurt, cucumber, garlic dressing -- yeah, that one... the one you lick off your fingers everytime you get it because you don't want to miss a drop of it?) in a warm soft pita and split an order of greek fries -- french fries with just the perfect amount of feta. Fabulous. This is a nice family owned place that is definitely worth trying if you are on the west side and have a hankering for some great gyros.
(5)Simone L.
I went here with my mom the other day to try it out and I was glad that I did. Even thought we got it to go, the food was still fresh and hot when we got home and the gyros were delicious! I would have liked a little bit more feta cheese on the fries, but other than that they were good too. They lady at the front was very nice and held a little conversation with me when she wasn't busy. Definitely going back to try some other things.
(4)Jodi L.
PS Rob T, I am Sicilian from NYC so you damned well better believe that I can judge a Cannolli from behind glass. Problem with people who have not grown up with Italian desserts is that they think these nasty little excuses for Cannolli at Greek gyro express are actually good!!! Oh and yeah, u really have nothing better to do than make a dumb statement on Yelp when someone posts an opinion that differs from yours?? Grow up.
(1)Ashley R.
I have finally found a great gyro! Not a big pita bread fan so I've been disappointed in the past, but not after eating here.The food was awesome! My boyfriend and I ordered the Gyro Sandwich combo w/ the feta fries. Everything was on point, including the FREE chicken lemon rice soup. The gyro meat was flavorful and juicy and the feta gives another dimension of "Yum" to the fries. Also, they don't skimp on portions. Lets just say my buds (taste buds) were very happy after leaving!
(4)David D.
Went here a few weeks ago. The gyros are excellent, packed with juicy meat. The fries with Feta are super yummy and the lentil soup is really tasty too. Every once in a while, I think they are trying to get rid of some tzatziki sauce because they put so much on the gyro. Nice problem to have though. If I had a complaint, it would be that it is sometimes a little too warm in the place. But overall, an excellent experience.
(4)S G.
This place is great. Order out from here once every month or so. I've only ordered gyros with Greek salad and fries. It's inexpensive for very good food. The actual indoor ambiance is something between divey & casual. Wish they served calamari.
(4)Nancy G.
Wonderful chicken shwarma type sandwiches and the cannoli was awesome. Friendly service, free soup (try the lentil), fair prices. I really liked it.
(4)Andrea L.
Great local family business! Best Greek food ever! Run by a real Greek family. Very hard working customer oriented staff. Free lemon rice soup while you wait for your food (which is excellent). I have a friend that drives all the way from Scottsdale because he loves the food here. Closed Sunday's.
(5)Jake V.
Love this place. Great Greek gyro with fries. They offer free soup but I haven't tried it. The meal is plenty enough for anyone and trust me you'll eat it all. The best Greek food in the west valley since Ararat closed down.
(4)Rae S.
Excellent gyros. Eat here quite a bit and its always good.
(5)Thomas H.
Not my first Greek gyro or restaurant, but the food here was better than the others I've been to. The owner was very eager to help my wife order and get the "greek experience", he helped her order the delicious greek fries. Greek fries sound odd, but are actually quite delicious, crinkle fries + feta cheese are a great twist on an american dish. The soups were great, gyro meat was tender and well cooked. All in all a great place for people hesitant to try Greek food.
(4)Jennifer D.
I love this place. They make the best gyros! The meat was juicy, hot, and delicious. The place is clean, prices are reasonable, and the staff are friendly.
(5)Gabriel A.
Best Greek gyros I've had in Phoenix. The gyro meat is seasoned well and it's not salty like other places I've been to. There is a complimentary soup along with your meal, very reasonable prices.
(5)Leonardo F.
I love gyros and this place delivered my cravings. We were on a long road trip and stumbled upon this place. The portions were big. The meat was juicy.
(4)Jason P.
Just like everyone else says...AWESOME!
(5)Daniel B.
The gyro was good. The fries had a nice surprise, feta cheese. Overall fair price and good food. Will recommend.
(4)Linda Rae C.
my husband and I really enjoyed our meal today. We both ordered the combo gyro plate. We substituted salad for the french fries. The salad had lots of cucumber, tomato and feta cheese. The gyro had lots of meat and the bread was hot and fresh. Very tasty! We were pleasantly surprised when we were told to help ourselves to a free bowl of soup while we waited for our order to be prepared. I had the lentil soup and it was pretty good. This also came with a drink. All this for $6.99! What a deal. The food tasted delicious and so fresh. The owner seemed very attentive and came to our table to ask how everything was. I wish I could come back often, but we live in Calif--we're only passing through on the way home from the Grand Canyon.
(5)Timothy M.
The free soup is a plus! Good portion of meat.
(3)Jake A.
Good food, good selection, good service and all meals come with a bowl of home-made soup! What else could you ask for!
(4)Diane S.
Loves this place, went there for lunch after class and had their lunch special which was a gryo pita with a drink. Their gyro was on point, moist and sliced with perfection. Their protions are huge that i couldn't even finish it. This place is great for families. Very open and very friendly.
(5)Jorge H.
the food here is amazing the portions are great and the prices are right on point. it is difficult to find good foreign restaurants in this area but this is one of them.
(5)Caesar R.
Love it, try the gyro salad! Also the gyro sandwich. Oh yea and the pita with zatziki(spelling?) is awesome. Love it every time
(5)Lorelei J.
This place is great! The food is delicious and the price is right!
(4)Vesna C.
Looove this place ! My son loves the spinach spanko pita, there is always a free home made soup available, gyro is the way I remeber it from Europe, and the service is GREAT !
(5)Adrian D.
This place is easily one of the best lunch spots in the valley. Delicious greek food at great prices. It's been a family favorite of ours since the day we learned of it.
(5)Lisa H.
My husband and I were in the area and thought we would stop and try their food. It was really good. Full of flavor. The cashier/waitress was very nice & helpful. I even heard her offer another customer a different option and he even saved money. Unheard of in today's economy, but great customer service, and wonderful food keep them coming back.
(4)Dick L.
I had a Gyro Pita Combo for lunch today and it was excellent. While waiting I had a cup of their free lentil soup which proved to be a perfect start. The pita was generous an tasty. The fries were fresh and served with feta. I will be back soon.
(5)Jim S.
I go here once a week...it's the best...gyros are always good and the staff is pretty friendly...free soup while you wait!!
(5)Lee R.
I used to be a pizza, taco, and burger kind of guy. Now I'm a gyro guy. I've had gyros before, but wow! These gyros are freakin' delicious! I plan to take my wife there, and she better like it, or else I'm finding a wife who will. Seriously folks, this is great food. I can't wait to try some of their other dishes.
(5)Matthew S.
I am giving them 5 for food and 5 for friendliness. Really nice people and really good food. John Stamos would approve of this place if he ever stopped selling yogurt long enough. I ordered ba ba soulvlaki also known as lamb skewers with a Greek salad. Oh if Bo peep could have known the wonderful taste that fairy tale would have turned out different. And to top it all off little baby cannolis. You know a place is good when you see 3 different people walk in and they are greater with welcome back your ussual.
(5)Dean L.
Far and above one of the best places I've been for a few reasons: 1) The food was absolutely fantastic. The Greek salad and feta fries were absolutely a wonderful start. The falafel is absolutely fabulous. I love it! It's made fresh, and you can totally taste it. 2) The service here is wonderful. It's not the extremely fast service, but it's the kindest. It's a family business, and they take their customers seriously. I'll 100% go there again!
(5)Debbie T.
I haven't written a review here in over 2 years, so decided to update my previous ones. I still order the same thing every time we visit...gyro combo. I can't seem to stray from it. And, each time, hubby and I still look at each other and smile when we take those first few bites. We love this place!
(5)C H.
Yum! Great place! They were particularly busy with big to-go orders when we visited and were very gracious. Theodore was awesome. Food was tasty, fresh and hearty. We were just passing through, but we'll stop next time we pass through town. :)
(5)Andy A.
Great little Greek sandwich spot in Az. Gyros are very tasty and the fries with feta cheese was delicious. Love the Greek music playing in the backround! Every thing on the menu comes with free chicken rice soup and lentil soup and both are made fresh daily. Prices are under 10 dollars! Definitely going back!
(4)+TheGeneralofHope +.
We gave this place a shot and really enjoyed the food. It was well priced, plentiful, and most importantly - delicious! The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and efficient. We had no complaints.
(5)Cecilia I.
Love this place. Been coming here since they've opened with the family. Their menu has a variety and some dishes are vegetarian friendly. A definitely must try if you're in the area. They also provide bowls for soup while you wait. Lemon chicken and rice or Lentil soup. The great thing about it is that they are super friendly.
(5)Sean W.
I love this place! It is my favorite gyro place and their salad is perfect. I come here at least twice a month. I crave their delicious gyro!!
(5)Danielle S.
Great Gyros and baklava! Order ahead because it's not what you would call "fast" food. Definitely worth the wait though. Really nice guy at the counter. Free soup is good too!
(4)Emily C.
This place is phenomenal! I eat here several times a week. My entire office is addicted. We order ahead and our order is always ready to go when promised. The food is affordable and delicious. This is the best Greek restaurant in AZ hands down. The free lentil soup with your order is delicious. The cherry on top of it all is the excellent customer service.
(5)Michéle F.
They have earned us as life time customers. Food is always great. Soup is always delicious customer service is amazing. Definitely recommend eating here.
(5)Leslie M.
Recently in the area and looking for a place to get some lunch. Saw good reviews for this place on Yelp, so decided to give it a try. We stopped in about two in the afternoon on a Friday. We ordered a gyro and the Mediterranean fish sandwich. For $2 more you can upgrade to a combo with a choice of Greek fries or salad and a drink. My friend ordered the fries. I ordered a salad. The cashier asked if we wanted soup and gave us bowls for soup and a number for our order. The girl taking our order wasn't very welcoming and didn't explain the free soup, however we knew about the soup from reading about it on Yelp. The soup was delicious! A lentil and a lemon rice. They were hot and flavorful! We ate our soup and waited. And waited. And waited. Twenty minutes went by and two tables that came in before us got there food. Five more minutes went by and we decided to ask about our food. At that point, we were told that fish takes at least twenty minutes. Another five minutes went by before we got our food. Thirty minutes total. We were hungry and annoyed at this point. I guess that's why they offer the free soup! The gyro was good. The salad was good. The Greek fries were okay. Regular fries with feta cheese on top. The pita bread was the best part of the meal. The downside was the fish, which is what took so long. On the menu, it said it was grilled. Okay, so maybe it was cooked on a grill. What i got was what looked like a very thin, breaded, pan fried piece of fish. It was disappointing. I tried to take the breading off, but the fish was so thin there was little or no meat left to eat. At that point, I just gave up. After waiting so long and then getting something that wasn't cooked the way it was described on the menu, I was no longer hungry. The food was okay but not worth the wait. And, they really do need to change the description of the Mediterranean fish and let people know it takes twenty minutes to cook, especially at lunch.
(2)Vanessa K.
The food at Greek Gyro Express is DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC! They give soup with the purchase of a meal and the chicken and rice soup was the first indication of how great the food would be. The chicken souvlaki sandwich and gyro platter were outstanding! From the pita bread, to the homemade tzatziki... I have no doubt that everything on the menu is as tasty! Definitely recommend visiting this place. I can't wait to go back!!!!
(5)Penny A.
Their Greek salad with chicken is sooo delicious and you get a pita and choice of soup even to go mmmm so yummy. Great customer service. I picked up lunch for the office and they where super efficient and quick great prices as well.
(5)Amber H.
Literally the best Greek food I've ever had!!! Highly recommend!! I didn't think I liked Greek food until I ate here. Also love their chicken lemon soup and lentil soup. Everything I've had was delicious and the people working their are very friendly!
(5)Amy E.
Great food and excellent service. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and helpful!! I ordered the skewers and my husband had the gyro. Both were made to order and the meat was juicy fresh. The sauce was yummy too. Good place to go for a good bite to eat!
(4)Luciana L.
The gyros are about par with other places. Falafel is meh. Service is SLOW so don't come here during the rush. Seriously, they had 1 guy in the back and one in the front. It took 20 minutes to get our food and that's when I actually started keeping track. On the upside, they offer complimentary soup which was pretty decent.
(3)Nate B.
My favorite little Greek spot. I like the Greek salad w/ Gyro meat and the spinach pie. The rice pudding is also good. They give you a choice of chicken lemon rice soup or bean soup with every order. The place is always clean and the service is great.
(4)Ryan C.
28 mins to get served at lunchtime is unacceptable. That's great that they have soup available but maybe that should have been a red flag. The excuse that they make everything fresh doesn't work for me because it doesn't take 28 mins to make a chicken souvlaki platter. Lunch started off good but didn't end well. Please remove the word "Express" from your signage.
(1)Elissa K.
Not a bad spot quick still tasty but the staff are curious & they have complimentary soup which I think is a cool idea And They have a show that tours GREECE! I will go before I die!
(4)Vern G.
Free homemade soup! I had the lemon chicken rice soup. Very hearty, chunks of celery, and carrot, flavorful broth, tender, but not overcooked rice. Delicious! For my meal I had the classic gyro combo. Generous amount of meat, decent amount of tzatziki, soft and warm pita, chunks of tomato and onion. Delicious! Would return!
(4)Rosemary L.
Just left here, food was plentiful and I'm full! Soda machine not working so am dying of thirst have to stop somewhere else to get more drink! Food was hot when served gyro needed more sauce in middle, it was dry there! Overall it was tasty, won't be a regular but every now and then I may be back! Free soup was nice because the wait was not real short!!!!
(3)Donna D.
This is my go-to gyro joint, best one in the west valley. The gyros are always overfilled with meat and their salads are great. Fantastic quality and quantity of food and overall great value!
(5)Tim K.
Love it, been there twice in 10 days. You leave full but it is a good full. Great meat Gyro with salad, plus a drink and soup, for about $7, hard to beat that. Not much for decor, but service is quick and the place is clean. Sometimes busy but seems like they have a steady business with clientele that know they are getting great food at a great price. Order at the counter and they bring the food to you, help yourself to soda and soup. I will keep going back.
(5)colleen t.
I certainly found a new fast food go to. Im not a 'fast food' kinda gal but I will partake once in awhile. The free soup was good. Lemon chicken w rice. My gyro was excellent. The best part was I got to trade out the fries for a salad. Which was fresh and so yummy! Highly recommend!
(5)Taylor Marie B.
I've been going here for a long time and I was very disappointed today. The woman at the counter was VERY rude. When she gave me my receipt she practically slapped it down on the counter. She did not give us soup bowls and when the guests after us asked for them she acted like she didn't want to give them any either so I didn't even bother to ask. The woman obviously wasn't having a good day and was taking it out on her customers. Typically they give us sauce with our combos and we didn't get that either. The fries are normally very good but today they tasted like they had been sitting for a long while. Im thinking that they are trying to cut costs because even the salad and gyro was skimpy on the toppings, not like it used to be.
(2)Craig W.
BEST GYRO SANDWICH IN TOWN!!! This place has ruined gyros anywhere else for me now. If I'm the mood for a gyro no one else will do. Love both the lentil bean and lemon chicken w/ rice soups that are offered for free while you wait.
(5)Jeff J.
I was here last night to pick up an order. The young men running the store were incredible! These guys are great for business. Very friendly and professional. I messed up on my order when I called it in, and they took care of it. Great food...ok...I've eaten here on other occasions, but last night was by far the best all around experience. The Gyro sandwiches were stuffed full of meat! Love the food! Love the service! Love the professionalism from the workers last night! I'm a customer for life! Thanks!
(5)sandy k.
This place is solid! I ordered at lunchtime for pickup and the lady said it would be 15 minutes-- I got there in 15 minutes right as my order came out, perfect! I had the falafel gyro and it delicious. My gyro was overflowing with big falafels, I couldn't ask for more, and the pita was also nice and soft. My friend got the regular gyro and she said it was tasty as well. The tzatziki sauce was great as well.
(4)Arlen P.
My sister and I were in the area dropping off our Uncle at the nearby Quality Inn. He gave us 15 dollars for food. I checked Yelp to see what was available and saw this highly rated restaurant with a $ indicating a menu under 10 dollars. Gave it a shot and WOW! Yep everything here is under 10 dollars but the quality tastes twice as expensive. I got the Mediterranean Fish sandwich and my sister had the Lamb souvlaki. The demure hostess politely warned us that these orders would take a while, but honestly it really didn't feel like it took much time at all. Food was superb, can't believe we got such a great meal for the two of us for only 17 dollars. Plus, they have FREE SOUP that you can help yourself to while you wait. Two kinds even! Chicken lemon rice and Lentil Bean soup. Both very tasty. I'm only sad that this was just a one time deal and I'm likely to never pass this way again anytime soon. + Great food for astoundingly low price. -This place isn't close to where I live. -Minor gripe. The one TV they have is TINY. I liked the Greek scenery footage they were playing, but I had to squint to make out any detail. Could really use either more TVs set up around the place or one big TV.
(5)Lori D.
The wait was really long for dinner. I got the falafel plate and the hummus was overly salty and more of an applesauce consistency than a hummus spread. The flavor wasn't great. they were out of the spinach pie. The falafel was really dark and super spiced. Too strong of a favor for me. The salad was the highlight of the meal but not enough to keep me coming back.
(2)Elizabeth E.
Every single time we've been here, we've left satisfied! The food is delicious and the staff if friendly. They have soup while you wait, if you haven't tried it, you must!!
(5)Michael C.
Been here a few times when I go to Sam's and food tastes great and the soup is amazing just they need a bit of redecorating. Some paint and fitted booths and tables would be nicer.
(3)Sally B.
This place was really great! The falafel was tasty and plentiful and the soup was an excellent surprise. Everything was hot and fresh. I would recommend this place to anyone.
(4)Matt S.
The food is good, the free soups and good for while you wait but it's not fast. But it doesn't taste like fast food either. It's worth the wait just don't go on a lunch break.
(4)Mark S.
Popped in here after a visit to Sam's Club and honestly wasn't expecting much. Wow was I surprised! One of the better gyros I've had in a while, and one that rivals the late night vendors in Europe, but without the greasy feeling next morning. I tried the Chicken Gyro, but with tzatziki instead of honey dijon dressing. Absolutely delicious. The Greek Fries were yummy, though a little more cooked than I prefer. They offer free soup while you wait for your order. And the guys behind the counter were wonderfully nice and accommodating of everyone in the restaurant. You could definitely tell that they cared about making it an enjoyable dining experience for their customers. I know where I'll be going next time I have a hankering for some Greek food!
(5)Rachel H.
I have ordered out from this place twice both times the Gyro meal. The Gyro is legit. Very good and exactly what I was craving. The fries are good but would be a lot better if they were crisp. I'm not sure if it's the 10min drive home in which they get a little soggy but they are the reason for my 4 stars instead of 5. Despite the fries his place is really reasonable for the price and how good the gyro is and the amount you receive is the reason I will continue ordering from it.
(4)Phuong N.
I don't know why I drop 1 star but there is something about it that I can't give it a 5 stars. The food is good I have no complain but it is so so... very decent simple Greek :)
(4)Leah C.
Great food and very good customer service. We have been coming here for years and it's always good.
(5)Tommye J.
I LOVE this place for so many different reasons!!! It is clean. It is conveniently located. I adore the brothers that work there. They are by far the MOST personable service workers I have encountered in eons! They are amiable and TRULY seem to enjoy their customers. Every time I go in they treat me as though I'm their favorite customer, although I'm pretty sure they don't recognize me. The food is delicious, although I have had better hummus. The souvlaki dinner and falafel platter are divine. Someone in a different review may have mentioned the free lemon rice and lentil soups. They are hotter than the surface of the sun and delicious! Get there early or all the chicken will be pilfered from the lemon soup! The only real downside to this family owned & run restaurant is one of the gals who works there during the day. She just doesn't seem to enjoy her job as much as the brothers. She almost seems afraid to engage the customers. Perhaps she's shy or unsure if herself. Give her a Baklava and a hug and tell her to engage- customers like that!!
(4)Bobby H.
Their food was great! They give you free soups while you dine and let me tell you.. They are delicious!! Great little gem.
(5)Panama R.
Pretty good gyro. Ordered extra meat and they delivered. I have always hit up Pita Kitchen once a week but now torn. Well played.
(4)Annie V.
I try and stop in this place at least once a month, and sometimes more if cravings are not satisfied ;) Beleive its the owners son that usually runs the counter when I come in and gotta asy he is always very nice and service oriented! I mean how do I say this without offending anyone, usually younger people in the service industry have a real crap attitude, so coming here is really refreshing and the food is yummmm. Last time I went in the son was sampling their Greek Rice Pudding and all I got to say is OMG, sooo good :) So, give this place a try and support the local shops.
(4)Zachary C.
Looking for something different, I found Greek Express at the top of the best rated list. The location is easily accessible, the staff is very friendly, and the food is fantastic. I ordered a gyro sandwich with the Greek salad as the side, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
(5)Shawn S.
7 bucks for a gyro combo...cant beat that! comes with large sandwich, feta fries, a drink and free soup! Friendly staff i walked in at 9 pm immediately greeted by a young guy who im guessing was running it. Very tasty very filling and the feta cheese is just next level so bomb!
(4)Timothy J.
I just love this place. They have really delicious gyros and amazing fries. They put feta cheese on the fries, and for a little extra, they will give you a big bowl of feta. (What's with this dude and feta?) I'll tell you what, it's amazing and I love it, especially on their gyros and fries! Same with the tsatsiki (white cucumber sauce). I've never had a complaint about this place. Love it.
(5)Laura S.
I really wanted to love this place but was disappointed. The free soup was good but chicken was dry and not that tasty. Salad wasn't great either. The young man who works there is so nice and friendly. I really enjoyed talking to him
(3)Eric G.
Best Gyros around! and on top of that the soup you get while you're waiting for your food is very good too.
(4)Megan M.
I have been here about 5 times and have never received this free soup. The first time I went I was impressed with the service and the food, but since then, the food is pretty good but the service is bad. The girl who is at the counter most of the time is very short with customers and at times I've even felt like she doesn't want customers there at all. I love Greek food, but I doubt I'll be going back often since I feel like a burden every time I walk in.
(3)Thomas N.
Great food! Very nice staff. The takeout is easy. Complimentary soup du jour is included in every order. The restaurant should be kept cleaner/bussed.
(4)John C.
Not really fast, but good! We had the chicken souvlaki "sandwiches" - they come with tzaziki instead of honey dijon.
(4)Sophia G.
For the food, price & service this place has to be the best gyro restaurant in Avondale. It's a little hidden gem in this neighborhood. Food is always good. The service is always fantastic. The two young men behind the counter are always friendly & efficient. Definitely one of my favorite places!
(5)louis g.
29 minutes from the time on the receipt to when the first plate was placed on my table.....food tastes good but not 29 minutes good....also for the speed of service it was slightly overpriced...as long as there is no other competition this is the place to go for Greek food
(3)Richard M.
Service is always slow but the food is super good. Trust me I've tried a lot of Greek places and this is by far the best flavor and value. Their combos come with "Greek Fries" which is just feta but it adds to the whole meal. They also have free soups in the eating area!
(5)James A.
Hot cheese soup! Place was ok. Nothing to complain about. Clean, very nice staff. I got the Gyro, and salad. I don't eat carbs, so I tossed the pita and chowed down on the meats and veggies. Filled me up. Broke camp, mission complete. I'm used to Pita Kitchen, but thought I'd give this joint a try since it's a mile away. I'd be returning for sure. Good prices.
(3)Kimberly D.
I don't work far from here, so I like coming here once in a while for lunch. I always call ahead to order and when I get there, my food is always ready and waiting for me. I always take some of the lemon chicken and rice soup to go with me. I haven't had anything other than their Greek salad with gyro meat, which is delicious. The meat isn't dry nor fatty. It compliments my salad nicely and I love the soft, warm pita bread that accompanies my salad!

Anybody who has a bad review for this place is a complete idiot........u always get free soup, food is always hot and delicious and the salads are always nice, fresh and cold..........and the price is great too and the staff which is family owned is VERY NICE.

Gyro sandwich is about average. I got the "Greek fries" which are fries with some feta cheese and herbs on top of shoestring fries. Fries were nothing special. But they offer two kinds of soup with your order, which was nice. Overall I thought the food was average, but they were really friendly and I liked the self-serve soup, so they get four stars. Food was three stars.

Came here today with my fiancé. Had the Mediterranean Trout sandwich..... Ohhhhh myyyy goshhhh! So fresh and delicious. My fiancé had a bite and said the same. Its right off the grill so it takes a little longer than other dishes. We had somewhere to go but decided to wait the 10-15 minutes it took as the guy at the register assured us it was worth the wait. Definitely worth it. Very friendly customer service. Fiancé had the hummus platter and added chicken. That was pretty good as well. Pita was fresh and you could tell they make the hummus in shop. Anywho, great experience overall!

Stopped in here expecting typical mediocrity, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality, and the service! Seemed short staffed, but those guys were on it! there was a big family and a few others making large orders, but those guys handled it like pros! Portions were very generous, prices were fair, and the food was great.

This is my GO TO spot for a Gyro in the west valley. The Gyro combo has always been right on the money, You can order it with ether fries or Greek salad. Try ether and you will leave happy.

Folks saying this place is great, either have never had Greek Gyros before or are related to the owners. Not good at all. Small portions, dry, chewy meat with grissle. Yuk. Now let's all gasp in awe of Rob T. down there and his awesome skills at judging Jodi for having an opinion that's different than his. Dork.
(2)Geoffrey C.
Alway a very good lunch...make sure to try the chicken lemon rice soup that is complimentary with every meal! Opa!
(4)Katherine C.
I ordered the gyro plate and it was very good. The serve yourself soup you get to eat while waiting is wonderful. I ordered the spanakopita on the side and it wasn't the best but it was good. I will definitely go there again!
(5)Rob T.
Easily one of your best options for lunch in Avondale / Goodyear. Better-than-fast-food prices and portions, excellent food (especially the souvlaki and the gyro), and great service. Yes, the fries are very simple, almost McDonald's-ish, but the feta and oregano set them off and they are a great compliment to every meal. And if that's not your cup of tea, swap it out for salad for the same price. The free soups (Lemon chicken rice, lentil) are both fantastic as well. Now let's all gasp in awe at Jodi down there and her awesome skills at judging cannoli through glass. That's impressive stuff.
(5)Ray T.
Ate here again for lunch and the Gyro Sandwich was very good. Place was cleaner and service was good this time around. Will definitely go back for a Gyro and of course a couple of great tasting cannoli's. Wife loved the Greek Salad with Gyro meat.
(4)Seymour B.
Started out so promising.......why is it when small restaurants start out great they get comfortable and fizzle...been here several times and each time I see and taste the decline.The gyros were great then tasted as if they've been under the lamps all day. Why is it that the tables are always dirty and only a handful of people are seated? I wish I could say I'm going back.
(3)Joell H.
Very good food. Wait for my food was slightly long for an "express" restaurant. Although they did say it was an unusually busy day & admitted to being behind. Hopefully staffing issue is fixed for future.
(3)Lilly E.
Great family owned business and amazing food. I enjoy the meals and complimentary soup.
(5)jessica p.
Free soup while you wait? Sample as soon as you walk in? Service from owner? Yes, Yes and Yes! I am SO happy I walked in here unplanned one day. Me, my husband and my daughter ate for 15 bucks! Everything was authentic and delicious! The service was fast and helpful and it just made you feel good. This is the ultimate lunch experience!
(5)Timothy M.
The free soup is a plus! Good portion of meat.

My brother and I decided to go try Greek Gyro Express for lunch today. Went in and they were a little busy. We walked to the counter, they do not have a menu posted on the wall, just pics only a few selections. I found the to go menu on the counter, so pick it up found a few more selections. As we were deciding the order, the owner (I think) came out with a few samples of the gyro meat and told us to try. WOW, it is was good... Very good! I ordered the chicken pita meal (chicken gyro with onions, tomatoes, and Tzatziki; included Greek fries and a drink). My brother ordered the combo two meat plate (gyro, chicken, salad, tomatoes, onion and a drink). As we sat, the owner came out and told us to try the complementary soup (lemon, chicken and rice). I got two small bowls so we could try it. You know what? It was pretty good. I likie! The good came out looking just like the pictures on the wall. My chicken pita was very tasty and the Greek fries (fries with feta cheese) good. Everything was very good. My brothers plate looked good too. He inhaled it, so I am assuming he liked it. =) Next time, I think I might try the gyro pita.

I had actually never had Greek food before I moved to Arizona in 2006. Since then, I have fallen in love. Typically, I eat at Athenian Express in downtown Phoenix, as it is near where I work and I go with coworkers. This last week, I wanted to get my wife to try Greek, so I took her here with the kids. I like Athenian, and this place is better! The meat is piled on the Gyro, and the fries are great. Feta is an add-on for $.50, but well worth it. Overall, you just can't go wrong! Plus, as an appetizer, they have a pot of soup sitting there for you to help yourself too while you wait for your food to get done. For free! The only negative we had was my son had the spaghetti, and he didn't really like it. It didn't have any sauce like normal Italian-style spaghetti, and it had a cinnamon flavor to the meat. I don't know if this is a traditional Greek thing. I thought it was still pretty good, but he didn't like it.
(4)Kathy J.
Oh my! For the price, this is easily the best Greek food I've had in the Valley. The gyros are authentic, Chicago-style and the portions are hearty. The Greek salad with charbroiled chicken was delicious and fresh and I just loved the free lemon chicken rice soup. Nice touch that they remembered who we were and brought us our food - no need to listen for your number or hang onto your receipt. Kinda weird there was not a garbage can in sight (not in a bad way - who wants to eat near a trash can?) so we left our "real" dishes on the table to be cleaned up by the staff. I only wish this place was closer to home. They do have a TV but when we were there, it was playing a travel-related program about the different sites and cities in Greece. I'm not sure if they even have the means to put on a sporting event but I wasn't there to watch TV. Excellent food!

Let me just say -- YUM!! This was my choice on Valentine's Day (I know -- WHAT?! -- but we celebrate V-Day EVERY DAY of the year, it's just another day to take your $$). Anyway, they offer FREE fresh, homemade soup while you're waiting for your meal (Lentil or Chicken Lemon Rice), so we tried one of each. Delicious! I ordered the Gyro Pita and Greek Fries and my husband ordered the Gyro Combo Plate (Gyro meat and Chicken Souvlaki). The plates came and his platter was enormous, covered with meat and rice and pita, and my pita was STUFFED with the best gyro meat I've ever had. Not too salty, but very flavorful. The fries were lightly sprinkled with feta cheese, and they gave an extra side of tzatziki on the side. I could only eat half of the sandwich, it was so much food! Needless to say, I was a very happy girl! Try it, it's delicious food with great prices and a very friendly staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

With 4 1/2 stars I was excited about this place... Then we went inside. I'm trying to figure out where 3 1/2 of their stars came from. You walk in and this place has a "grimy" look and feel. But I've learned you can't judge the food by the restaurant's appearance. We ordered our food with a very uninterested cashier (who obviously has better things to do that don't involve us or our order). We ordered hummus, a chicken gyro, a Chicago burger, a drink and a side of rice... $26?! WTF mate?! Henywho, we'd ordered so we had some soup while we waited. I didn't get the hype, the soup tasted like it came out of a Campbell's can but it was free and we were hungry (Free-ish, at $26 for what we ordered I'm sure we paid for the soup). Ate our soups got our hummus and it was ok, not the best but at least the pita bread was warm. We managed to finish our soups and our hummus and still waited 15 minutes for our food! 15 MINUTES, for a total of almost half an hour at a place called Gyro "Express". The cashier/ waitress threw our food on the table and walked away. My husband's Chicago Greek burger was a decent burger, nothing special and his Greek fries we're the same, just French fries with a sprinkle of feta cheese and oregano (not the deliciousness I tasted at Pita Kitchen). My Greek chicken pita managed to be dry even though it was smothered in taziki sauce, a ridiculous amount of taziki, I used a napkin between every bite and it was so annoying I gave up on eating it. We ordered a side of rice for our 2 year old, it was bland and because someone got oregano happy, it tasted like pure oregano. So that's my experience, it was a waste of time, money and taste buds. Never again.

Being a Greek himself, my husband knows good Greek food. We both agree the food here is delicious. However, I called on 3 X in 2 days to place a catering order. Finally decided to fax the order & hope they get it in time to prepare it all The food was ready when requested & delicious as usual. Other than the ordering process, I give this restaraunt 4 Stars!
(3)Kimberly W.
The food is delicious, I've never been disappointed. Portions are deliciously huge, food is just wonderful. The cashier's attitude sucks, but you can't have everything. I'll gladly take her "I could give a shit" attitude as long as the cooks in the back keep making delicious food :)
(5)Barbara H.
The best gyros on the west side! Heck, maybe even the best gyros in the Phoenix metro area. We always order the gyro sandwiches (practically exploding with tasty gyro meat, tomatoes, onions and yummy tzaziki sauce (you know, the yogurt, cucumber, garlic dressing -- yeah, that one... the one you lick off your fingers everytime you get it because you don't want to miss a drop of it?) in a warm soft pita and split an order of greek fries -- french fries with just the perfect amount of feta. Fabulous. This is a nice family owned place that is definitely worth trying if you are on the west side and have a hankering for some great gyros.
(5)Richard J.
Great food Friendly Staff. Very reasonable prices...less than $20 for lunch for 2. FREE SOUP while you wait for your order. My wife and I have eaten there about 5 times, and now i start chanting "BAKLAVA! BAKLAVA!" as soon as we walk in the door to distract her while ordering:)
(5)Nonda R.
Friendly service & great food, free soup.
(5)Simone L.
I went here with my mom the other day to try it out and I was glad that I did. Even thought we got it to go, the food was still fresh and hot when we got home and the gyros were delicious! I would have liked a little bit more feta cheese on the fries, but other than that they were good too. They lady at the front was very nice and held a little conversation with me when she wasn't busy. Definitely going back to try some other things.
(4)Jodi L.
PS Rob T, I am Sicilian from NYC so you damned well better believe that I can judge a Cannolli from behind glass. Problem with people who have not grown up with Italian desserts is that they think these nasty little excuses for Cannolli at Greek gyro express are actually good!!! Oh and yeah, u really have nothing better to do than make a dumb statement on Yelp when someone posts an opinion that differs from yours?? Grow up.
(1)Ashley R.
I have finally found a great gyro! Not a big pita bread fan so I've been disappointed in the past, but not after eating here.The food was awesome! My boyfriend and I ordered the Gyro Sandwich combo w/ the feta fries. Everything was on point, including the FREE chicken lemon rice soup. The gyro meat was flavorful and juicy and the feta gives another dimension of "Yum" to the fries. Also, they don't skimp on portions. Lets just say my buds (taste buds) were very happy after leaving!
(4)David D.
Went here a few weeks ago. The gyros are excellent, packed with juicy meat. The fries with Feta are super yummy and the lentil soup is really tasty too. Every once in a while, I think they are trying to get rid of some tzatziki sauce because they put so much on the gyro. Nice problem to have though. If I had a complaint, it would be that it is sometimes a little too warm in the place. But overall, an excellent experience.
(4)S G.
This place is great. Order out from here once every month or so. I've only ordered gyros with Greek salad and fries. It's inexpensive for very good food. The actual indoor ambiance is something between divey & casual. Wish they served calamari.
(4)Nancy G.
Wonderful chicken shwarma type sandwiches and the cannoli was awesome. Friendly service, free soup (try the lentil), fair prices. I really liked it.
(4)Andrea L.
Great local family business! Best Greek food ever! Run by a real Greek family. Very hard working customer oriented staff. Free lemon rice soup while you wait for your food (which is excellent). I have a friend that drives all the way from Scottsdale because he loves the food here. Closed Sunday's.
(5)Jake V.
Love this place. Great Greek gyro with fries. They offer free soup but I haven't tried it. The meal is plenty enough for anyone and trust me you'll eat it all. The best Greek food in the west valley since Ararat closed down.
(4)Rae S.
Excellent gyros. Eat here quite a bit and its always good.
(5)Thomas H.
Not my first Greek gyro or restaurant, but the food here was better than the others I've been to. The owner was very eager to help my wife order and get the "greek experience", he helped her order the delicious greek fries. Greek fries sound odd, but are actually quite delicious, crinkle fries + feta cheese are a great twist on an american dish. The soups were great, gyro meat was tender and well cooked. All in all a great place for people hesitant to try Greek food.
(4)Jennifer D.
I love this place. They make the best gyros! The meat was juicy, hot, and delicious. The place is clean, prices are reasonable, and the staff are friendly.
(5)Gabriel A.
Best Greek gyros I've had in Phoenix. The gyro meat is seasoned well and it's not salty like other places I've been to. There is a complimentary soup along with your meal, very reasonable prices.
(5)Leonardo F.
I love gyros and this place delivered my cravings. We were on a long road trip and stumbled upon this place. The portions were big. The meat was juicy.
(4)Jason P.
Just like everyone else says...AWESOME!
(5)Daniel B.
The gyro was good. The fries had a nice surprise, feta cheese. Overall fair price and good food. Will recommend.
(4)Linda Rae C.
my husband and I really enjoyed our meal today. We both ordered the combo gyro plate. We substituted salad for the french fries. The salad had lots of cucumber, tomato and feta cheese. The gyro had lots of meat and the bread was hot and fresh. Very tasty! We were pleasantly surprised when we were told to help ourselves to a free bowl of soup while we waited for our order to be prepared. I had the lentil soup and it was pretty good. This also came with a drink. All this for $6.99! What a deal. The food tasted delicious and so fresh. The owner seemed very attentive and came to our table to ask how everything was. I wish I could come back often, but we live in Calif--we're only passing through on the way home from the Grand Canyon.
(5)Jake A.
Good food, good selection, good service and all meals come with a bowl of home-made soup! What else could you ask for!
(4)Diane S.
Loves this place, went there for lunch after class and had their lunch special which was a gryo pita with a drink. Their gyro was on point, moist and sliced with perfection. Their protions are huge that i couldn't even finish it. This place is great for families. Very open and very friendly.
(5)Jorge H.
the food here is amazing the portions are great and the prices are right on point. it is difficult to find good foreign restaurants in this area but this is one of them.
(5)Caesar R.
Love it, try the gyro salad! Also the gyro sandwich. Oh yea and the pita with zatziki(spelling?) is awesome. Love it every time
(5)Lorelei J.
This place is great! The food is delicious and the price is right!
(4)Vesna C.
Looove this place ! My son loves the spinach spanko pita, there is always a free home made soup available, gyro is the way I remeber it from Europe, and the service is GREAT !
(5)Adrian D.
This place is easily one of the best lunch spots in the valley. Delicious greek food at great prices. It's been a family favorite of ours since the day we learned of it.
(5)Lisa H.
My husband and I were in the area and thought we would stop and try their food. It was really good. Full of flavor. The cashier/waitress was very nice & helpful. I even heard her offer another customer a different option and he even saved money. Unheard of in today's economy, but great customer service, and wonderful food keep them coming back.
(4)Dick L.
I had a Gyro Pita Combo for lunch today and it was excellent. While waiting I had a cup of their free lentil soup which proved to be a perfect start. The pita was generous an tasty. The fries were fresh and served with feta. I will be back soon.
(5)Jim S.
I go here once a week...it's the best...gyros are always good and the staff is pretty friendly...free soup while you wait!!
(5)Lee R.
I used to be a pizza, taco, and burger kind of guy. Now I'm a gyro guy. I've had gyros before, but wow! These gyros are freakin' delicious! I plan to take my wife there, and she better like it, or else I'm finding a wife who will. Seriously folks, this is great food. I can't wait to try some of their other dishes.
