Best Gyros — Restaurant in Cleveland Heights

August 2021: The food options in Cleveland Heights seemed very limited on a weekday before 5pm. Fortunately, Best Gyro's was there to save the day.

I parked across the street in a free parking lot and stopped in to see their offerings. I ended up ordering the gyro and the falafel. Prepared fresh, I had no complaints about it.

Pros: Friendly staff. The chef and the owner/manager greeted me. The owner owner/manager gave me a lesson in their unique baklava recipe. Amazing, cool ambience. The decor has a Greek diner feel to it. The round booth is a unique use of space. The outdoor space was closed for now. Good food. The gyro was very tasty and up to par from what I would expect. The falafel was okay, but I've had better. The baklava was very sweet, textured, but overly syrupy. They recommend pairing baklava with the ice cream. Covid cautious staff who wear masks and gloves. Clean restaurant.

Cons: The restrooms were closed. Not just closed to patrons, but closed to everyone. This may have been due to covid, but it seemed strange. Prices were steeper than I would have like. Not a major issue because prices...

I was there on Saturday, I watched this white man make our sandwiches without wearing gloves! I WATCHED HIM THE ENTIRE TIME! I got the cashiers attention and told her that I didn't want the food any longer please refund me my money. She wanted to know why I wanted my money back. I told her that I watched that white man make our food without wearing gloves. The white man said that he didn't touch our food. I told him that I watched him the entire time. I had to argue about my money. Finally he said that he would refund me my money. So he proceeds to give me a copy of my original receipt and say that my money was refunded. Then the white says to me why don't you just take the food ima just throw it out!!! I TOLD HIM THAT HE SHOULD JUST THROW IT OUT IM NOT EATING ANYTHING THAT YOU PUT YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON WITHOUT GLOVES. THIS MAN IS CRAZY TO THINK THAT I WOULD EVER EAT ANYTHING OUT OF HIS HANDS. HE DOES THIS KNOWINGLY! ISN'T THIS A HEALTH CODE VIOLATION!? MY MONEY WASN'T REFUNDED. IMA JUST TAKE THIS UP WITH MY BANK. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE AND THIS NASTY WHITE WITH...

Service was terrible I was served the wrong meal realized I had the wrong meal with some kind of chicken I ordered a regular gyro then I get my job finally got my gyro and it's ice cold there's no sauce on it I had to go back and ask for a sauce for my gyro my fries were ice cold then I wanted ketchup for my project to go back for that and my friends meal was terrible would not recommend going there not only my order was messed up the two other individuals that came here after me I think it was just one woman running the countertop and doing the cooking but I would not recommend going there and then not being $35 for this terrible ice cold meal and she gave me a complimentary piece of cake for the terrible service she definitely looked out for a while so if you want to get up do suggest you go somewhere elsemeal like something have to go back to that Counter five times. The whole ordeal fiasco took an hour and 20 minutes but yet we only have an hour and a half for lunch it was terrible service was terrible food...
