I dropped in here and ordered the gyro plate using their digital kiosk, an extra salad, fries, and baklava, for takeout. Seemed like they didn't really see the order until I asked about it 15 mins later. I watched the lone gentleman running the place build my salad and gyro plate with his bare hands, wiping them off on his (quite dirty looking) apron between each item. Hard to believe someone would do that at all with all the health regulations and inspections, much less in plain sight of the customer. I debated asking for my money back, but I decided to roll the dice as I've seen even worse when traveling around the world, and the resulting food was still delicious and didn't make me sick. Got the food back to my hotel room and sure enough, the food was excellent. I almost hate to admit it, but it's true. The fries were crispy and hot on the outside, with that creamy potato taste in the middle. The gyro meat was peppery but good. The salad was also fresh and good, though I kept thinking about the dudes bare hands throwing it together. Finally, the baklava - the only thing I didn't see any bare hands touch - was out of this world good. I'm not gonna go back just because of the poor hygiene and my sensitive stomach, but I can't say the food wasn't delicious.

One of my favorites! Beef gyro and fries are excellent.

One night when it started storming out I was pregnant and on the streets this restaurant took me in fed me really good food by the way, The service is awesome and I definitely recommend!!!

Solid food but with the recent price increases I do not recommend for the value.

Open very late! Pretty good falafel in downtown San José. The menu is confusing as they seem to offer food from a few different local restaurants, namely Indian and Ethiopian, along with some vegetarian options. Not sure if the items are prepared there or delivered. But the falafel and the fries are quite good and reasonably priced.

Disappointing- Chicken tenders are dry and over cooked, not juicy at all. Chicken gyro plate is pretty salty with the limit salad and there’s no olives!

Best tasting beef gyro I’ve had downtown and for the great price of a little under $7. Thanks for the gyro and quick service!

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Will come again.

Place is very shady. Staff doesn’t wear a mask while serving and communicating. Meat tastes very bad. Don’t prefer this restaurant if you are going after 7 pm.

Wonderful food, delicious and fresh, staff was delightful, small but homey atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Will definitely be back.
