I've been going to this traditional, small mom and pop place for over 20 years! I've eaten hundreds of Gyros in my life and this is by-far the best Gyro with Tzatziki sauce I have ever had! LOVE their food!

My falafel wrap was prepared with a microwave. Not from this area but thats unexceptionable. I didn’t even bother to taste it. Please do better Falafel “king.”

Cozy, family owned restaurant where you can get a variety of great wraps or platters. So far my favorite is the feta wrap.

Excellent food. We had the gyros and grape leaves. The gyros are huge and loaded with delicious meat cut off the spit in front of you. The grapes leaves were also great. My new favorite Gyro in town. Will definitely be back.

Love this place! They give you lots for food for a very affordable price. Everything on the menu looks and tastes good. The staff is delightful. I order the wild garlic chicken time and time again.

I usually like this place and the management, however I don’t know who was working today and the experience was horrible.We arrived and ordered food around 5:30PM and sat down to wait. We waited about 15 minutes then other customers started coming in and they were telling them that they can’t take their order because they close at 6PM. (The door says they close at 8PM and the website says 9PM). When our food arrived at 5:55PM they gave it to us in bags and said we can’t eat it at the restaurant because they are closing exceptionally early today. We let them know we would not have ordered it if it was going to be a to go order and they never mentioned that to us. We went back and forth and they said we could eat there but it was the most unwelcoming and faster meal we had in a restaurant. The order was not correct and we didn’t enjoy the unwelcoming experience at all.

The food is fresh, delicious and fast. Try the mint lemonade. The Turkish coffee is excellent as well as the Baklava. They are friendly and the place is very clean!

Most of the food was ok good, but falafel tasted undercooked and didn't stay together.

Best Gyros ever, all of there food is very well done. They also have a small store in there with very competitive prices on feta, olive oil, lamb and goat for stews and alot of other really nice middle eastern ingredients. Highly recommend a visit. The owner is also there most of the time and takes great pride in his place and it shows.

My favorite place since I lived in Gainesville 2003-2006. Love the grocery expansion too.
