First time at this place and let me tell you the service and food was poor. I usually don’t leave reviews but I had such a bad taste in my mouth by the food/service that I had to write a review so the next person knows what they’re walking into. I got a beef and lamb gyro and requested for pita to be on the side because I had 40min drive home and I did not want it to get soggy. When it came time they put the meat on the pita still and when I asked them I wanted the pita on the side they said they couldn’t do that. I asked for the reasoning and both of the employees just looked at me in a daze and kept saying we can’t do that without any explanation on why and then responded well you should get a salad. What? I don’t want a salad. I ordered the gyro with the pita on the side. How hard of a request is that? Then the manager finally stepped in and said yes. I don’t think I was asking for anything complicated. When it came to the gyro please tell me why it was in chunks and not long pieces like a typical gyro should be, never have o ate a gyro meat like that. I was so disappointed. Imposters of a gyro restaurant for sure in my book. Lastly, but most importantly they forgot the Tzatziki sauce after I reminded them twice. Come on 😡. Never will I step in there again or recommend this...
Read moreThe gyros were delicious. We tried both chicken and lamb/beef....both the meat and pita tasted really fresh. Lots of topping options, and they did not skimp on meat or toppings. Family and friends have been looking for a comparable gyro to the one from Pita Inn in Chicago. I think we found it! We also had hummus with pita triangles for dipping and the baklava. Hummus was really good though my faves will always be Pita Inn's in Chicago or Mona's in New Orleans. The baklava was excellent. A friend and I joked that there must be an Indian or Middle Eastern Aunty in the back room making the baklava from scratch-yeah, it's that good. This will def be a regular spot. Doesn't hurt that it's across from Costco/Walmart and next to an Indian grocery store as well as the new huge Pan-Asian Market. Mid-East Market is only a few blocks away too. STL Gyros is a great addition to a growing ethnic foodie hub...
Read moreMy family and I came here on a Sunday afternoon at 12:00 pm when they opened. It took 30 minutes to get our food because they were prioritizing online orders. When looking for a place to sit, we had a hard time choosing a booth because everything was filthy with leftover crumbs on the table and seats, even though they had just opened. Once we got our food, we found the chicken was extremely overcooked and flavorless. We tried to make the best of it and simply asked to have a side of cucumber sauce just to try and get some flavor on the chicken. We were told they would have to charge us .70 cents for each side of sauce. After spending $40 for three low quality pitas, the additional charge for sauce was the tipping point. Would not recommend spending your hard...
