Paros Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

My grandson wanted Greek food for lunch and this restaurant had good reviews - all five stars 🤔 So when we get there, it was located on the left half side of a gas station. We decided to park and give it a try. My grandsons ordered chicken kebab plates with a rice base and two sides. I ordered the gyros plate with a greens base, grilled vegetables, and marinated feta cheese. The feta cheese didn't have a very good strong flavor like Greek feta and the texture was smooth, not chunky. The tzatziki was tasty but the cucumbers were too big and made it hard to spread it. The chicken was tender and juicy, the hummus had good flavor, and the rice had good spices. The gyros wasn't like the usual gyro meat sliced from the hanging vertical rotisserie. It was more slices of gyro meat that was browned on a grill or in a frying pan; the outside was not juicy and freshly cut like usual gyro meat. It did have a good flavor. The other thing was when we paid it asked for a tip. We added a tip, never been there before and not knowing what to expect. When our order was ready, we were called to the counter to pick it up. The food wasn't served on plates with normal silverware but in to go containers with plastic silverware. No offense, but don't ask for a tip if you aren't doing anything to deserve one. I suppose we didn't have to throw away our containers but it didn't seem right to leave them on the table. For those reviewers that think this is the best gyro you've ever had, there's a dozen better ones than...

I can't say enough great things about this place. The food is absolutely exceptional. I've been here a handful of times the past year since discovering it and have tried everything. It's all fresh, delicious, quality goodness! The portion sizes are great! Healthy size of sides and rice on your plate. Order one plate with the included 2 sides and you probably won't finish it all. The chicken lule is my favorite but I love every entree!! The owner/cook and whoever is working the front are always so very friendly and polite. I stop by everytime I'm in the area. I'm closer to the other location which is also great but they have different menu options and this location is my spot. Cheers to great food and a great staff and owner who get it. I recommend everyone stop by especially if you've never tried this kind of food....

I want to give a big shout-out to Christina at Paros Family Restaurant! As soon as I walked in, she greeted me warmly and immediately offered to help with any questions I had about the menu. She took the time to explain the differences between the various menu items, making sure I understood all my options.

Customer service like this is truly a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I haven’t even gotten my food yet (though I’m sure it will be exceptional!), but I had to give Christina her flowers right away. In this day and age, we’re often quick to criticize but too quiet when we receive great service — and Christina absolutely deserves to be recognized for the care and attention she gives to...
