Sal’s Kabob & Gyro Grill — Restaurant in Sacramento

Restaurant Review: KABOB GYRO GRILL – A Mediterranean Delight That Hits the Spot

If you’re searching for bold Mediterranean flavors served with heart and hospitality, KABOB GYRO GRILL is the place to be. Nestled conveniently yet charmingly low-key, this gem delivers on both authenticity and taste — and then some.

Food & Flavor (5/5): From the very first bite, you know you’re in for something special. Their chicken and beef gyros are exceptionally well-seasoned, tender, and generously portioned. The meats are sliced fresh off the spit, juicy with a hint of crispness from the grill, and served on warm, pillowy pita bread that soaks up every flavorful drop.

The kabobs are grilled to perfection — especially the lamb kabob, which is juicy, succulent, and infused with a deep, savory marinade. Pair it with their fragrant rice, and it’s a match made in culinary heaven.

Vegetarians aren’t left behind either. The falafel is crisp, flavorful, and not overly dry, complemented by a creamy and tangy tzatziki sauce that elevates the dish beautifully. Their hummus is fresh, smooth, and just garlicky enough to keep you dipping until the last bite.

Service (4.5/5): The service is warm, welcoming, and efficient. Staff are happy to make recommendations, explain menu items, and customize orders. Whether dining in or picking up, you’re treated like a valued guest — something that’s increasingly rare these days.

Drinks & Dessert (4/5): While the drink selection is more functional than fancy (standard sodas and water options), the star here is the food. That said, if you have room for dessert, their baklava is sticky, sweet, and satisfyingly rich — a classic done right.

Atmosphere & Cleanliness (4.5/5): The setting is clean, casual, and comfortable — ideal for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. It’s not overly decorated, but the simplicity keeps the focus right where it should be: the food.

Value for Money (5/5): You’ll be hard-pressed to find better quality and quantity for the price. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and you leave full and satisfied without breaking the bank.

Overall: KABOB GYRO GRILL is a fantastic spot for anyone craving hearty, honest Mediterranean cuisine. It’s a go-to for flavorful meals that feel homemade, and it’s easy to see why it has such loyal local fans. Whether you're in the mood for gyros, kabobs, or a vegetarian plate, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommended for a casual, delicious...

So good, I wanted to get an extra one to take home. We have been looking for a good gyro place for awhile, everything seemed low Quality and a bit far. Boom, here comes Sal’s Kabob and Gyro! I had the beef/lamb delicious, meat was tender and well seasoned. Then add on everything else, delicious and will come back again, thank you!!

Updated 6/7/2025- this is the second time we’ve been by to get food. But this location has not been open since our last visit? Anyone have any updates? Google says it’s open but when we go by...

tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned -- easily the best I've had anywhere. Absolute perfection.

The space is just as impressive as the food. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or meeting up with friends or family, there's plenty of room both inside and out. The indoor dining area is clean and comfortable, and the outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying a sunny day. Sal himself is always friendly and welcoming -- you can tell he cares about every customer's experience.

Highly recommend. This...
