Gyro Saj: Reviews & Ratings
Got this for takeout and i think it wasn't the optimal state of fresh by the time we ate it. The chicken shawarma was a little dry and the greek fries were a bit soggy. But definitely a hefty amount of food and it was still pretty good- just could've been better
This is one of my favorites in First Hill for a quick bite! The serving size is amazing for the price and it's a well rounded meal! I love getting the lamb and beef platter, but enjoy their gyros as well! They also have some interesting sodas like this Vimto raspberry/black currant sparkling fruit drink!
Friends and I stopped by here for lunch after our classes and it did not disappoint! Service was friendly and quick. All ingredients tasted really fresh, I'd highly recommend the greek fries and the lamb and beef gyro plate! Portions were huge and I had plenty of leftovers. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some solid Mediterranean food that's quick and affordable!
Bomb bomb bomb. I love a good gyro and some gyro fries they do it right here. Nothing bad to say in a decent price for Seattle.
I went for a walk around the neighborhood, as I live in Interbay and saw the sign for burgers on Dravus St. and walked on Thorndyke a couple blocks before coming to a cluster of small locally owned businesses. This place is cute and local and reminds me of when I go on weekend trips to small towns in Washington. The service was very friendly and the food was decently priced and the bacon cheeseburger was quite delicious. I would definitely go here again. I like supporting small businesses, instead of mass chains.
A great go-to in the area! Consistent, good quality food with friendly/efficient staff.
I got takeout from here for lunch and was pretty impressed! I got the falafel plate which was falafel, rice, a small salad, hummus, and pita. In the middle of lunch hours they were fresh cooking the falafel which I'd never seen before, they're usually pre made and kept warm. Everything was delicious and tasted very fresh; the lettuce was crisp, the hummus was tasty, the pita was warm. I think $16+ for a casual lunch is a little much but everything was great quality so can't complain!
Great spot for a quick lunch. Lots of folks ordered online and picked up to go while we were there. There is a full vegan section with a variety of options. Some of the items on the menu are huge!!! Ask ahead of time if you're only looking for a small bite to get some direction. All the toppings are right in front so you can see what you're getting before you order. Food was really good and a great value for the quantity.
