Gyro Love — Restaurant in Southington

Was more than pleasantly surprised!! I expected some average food given the prices. I was admittedly spoiled where I am from in WA state...had an amazing Greek restaurant we visited a few times a month. Since moving to CT we have hit up some others. While none were bad, nothing left us feeling excited to go back. Until Gyro Love.

The food looked, smelled, and tasted very fresh, not "mass produced". Granted it was slow while we were there (they seems to do a great takeout business) bit the service was stellar. They were all genuine, no robots going through the motion. Seemed like it may be family owned/staffed but not certain. I am guessing so because of the way we were treated....the little things matters to them.

Since we were there and the menu doubled up with the other side of the business, PizzaPie wood fired pizza, I went for a small calzone as well. Let me just say 37 years in the Army taught me to eat. I was very shocked when the "small" calzone came out, especially given its price (14.50). You can't go a block in CT without finding a pizza joint, but this one stood out. The crust was light and flaky, not heavy and doughy like many calzones. Flavor was on point as well.

If you are thinking...

Not a fan of Greek food. Don't miss out on this place. With the variety of food, I guarantee you'll find more than a few things that will wet your appetite. I already know what I'm having when I go back my 2nd...

First the atmosphere is perfect. It's like being in Greece or Turkey. Plan on taking pictures, great scenic wall murals.

Jake, our server, was absolutely great. He knew his selection of foods. We asked if we could substitute the shaved Gyro meat to lamb chops for our Gyro Platter; he accommodated with no problem. His service was right on que. He knew when to come check on us. Thank you Jake.

The food is very authentic. They mentioned that their food is made fresh daily. The meat is selected from a Halal Butcher. We have lived in Italy and Turkey. Their food is fantastic. It was also recommended that we try the "Share The Love" Platter. We aim too.

I can not express enough how wonderful this place is. Thank you so much for your great hospitality and service. Very sincere...

Good food and excellent service, we were trying something new for a change. We had the stuffed grape leaves, Greek fries and falafel for starters. A lamb gyro, cheese quesadilla and a cheese burger. The only downside to the meal was the Greek fries, all other dishes were good. The best part was the service, I believe the lady that served us was the manager, she was so attentive the she noticed that the kids didn't like the fies and the whole order was left and she offered a dessert for the inconvenience after asking for an honest opinion of the restaurant. Best dish was the stuffed grape leaves and...
