JAYNA GYRO Emeryville — Restaurant in Emeryville

Jayna Gyro is inside one of the best 'food courts' in the Bay Area. The food was really tasty and fresh. I had the Gyro: The pita was soft, ingredients were piled high so I used a fork to get it manageable enough to then eat holding the pita. Their version of fries (more like potato pieces) were delish...garlic & feta. Wife really liked the falafel wrap. My only knock's were things likely out of there control: 1) the prices have gone way up in. In 2021 price for the Gyro was $10 and in 2025 it's $15.50...but to be fair most of the places in the food court were $15-$20 for a meal; and 2) the table we were at was 'sticky', like it was 'cleaned' with wet rag that hadn't been washed in days.

Also the pita was served flat and open with the pita on the bottom and overfilled on the plate in a way that you could not pick it up and eat it like you would a typical gyro. So at first it was picking pieces of meat, onion, lettuce, etc with a fork like I was eating a meaty salad. Then about halfway through I could pick up and roll the pita and eat it like I usually eat gyros. Like I said, not bad and it was not bad but I will not be going here again when I crave a good gyro as it’s not how I...

The food is pretty tasty here but the customer service is definitely not. I've been a dozen times or so (the chicken gyro bowl is quite good!), but each time the service is either indifferent at best or rude at worst. The business hours seem more like guidelines too because a couple times I've showed up about 30-40 minutes before closing and they've totally shut down - it's probably a safer bet for lunch then dinner I'd say.

The chicken and gyros are good , but everything else is quite frustrating. (Which has actually become my nickname for this joint:...
