What diners say — our read

If these 23 reviews agree on a topic, it is the staff. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, portion size appears most often — 43% of the corpus, averaging 5.0.

The split is 23 positive to 0 negative across 23 rated reviews. A third strand, value for money, appears in 17% of them at 5.0 stars.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was May 22, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. On health score it sits safer than 100% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Real cozy and comfortable place. Friendly owner/son duo. Food is delicious and very affordable for the big portion of food you get. Plenty parking in front and back.

    We all know this is the best gyros in Central Florida but I just wanted to make a quick point this platter was only $12.99 with a drink that’s crazy these days can’t get nothing for $12.99 sometimes not even a kids meal

    Staff are great. Food is the best around.

    Hello My Friend! Best mediterranean place in the area. Food is consistently great, service is always quick and top notch. Dining area is not fancy, but its clean and works.

  • June 1, 2026

    "Hello my friend. Welcome. How are you?" is just the start of this wonderful hole-in-the wall find. I've been going here for ten years, perhaps more. The food is always consistent good, servings are generous, and service is friendly. This is not a fine dining experience. The place is clean and homey. You're there for the food and great value. If it's atmosphere you want go somewhere else and pay 2-3x as much.

    This place is amazing. Best Gyros in Orlando, i order here at least once a week, great portions, and great prices

    Friendly, warm welcome, great food, attention to details

    Incredible gyros! Friendly service, generous portions, and easily one of the best Greek spots around!

  • May 16, 2026

    This is one of my favorite places to get a gyro in Orlando. The food is super good. The gyros are delicious. They’re very generous with their portions and best of all it’s fairly priced and the staff is extremely friendly. if you like gyros and want a nice quick Mediterranean bite this is a place to go. They have a great menu fresh salads (including Greek salads, tabbouleh), great gyros, kebabs, hummus, baklava, etc.

    Best spot in Orlando. The food is absolutely amazing.

  • May 12, 2026

    Great food and crazy portion size! I wish I would’ve known about this place sooner. Respectful staff that immediately greets you and sends you home with a smile.

  • May 10, 2026

    It’s been the BEST for years❣️❣️❣️

  • May 9, 2026

    My friend my friend is unbelievable! Best gyro food anywhere in this country! He is always so friendly and always remembers me. Their meat is so juicy and extra crispy if you ask ;—)

  • May 1, 2026

    Edit. Have been coming here for 7 years now as my exclusive provider of gyros as they are hands down the best in town. Came here on a suggestion from a customer of another gyro spot that said this place was better, he did not lie. This is the best gyro that I've had in years. Got to watch the gentleman cut the meat then grill it right before our eyes..huge portion of meat on a super tender pita..yum. Thank you very much I will be back

  • April 26, 2026

    If you can find better gyros, hummus, tzatziki... I sure would like to put this place to the challenge!

  • April 23, 2026
