GYRO AND KEBAB aka chickeatah'

Amazing Turkish food right near downtown! We have been wanting to try it out, and it did not disappoint. Everything is homemade, and it feels like dining with family. I always try the hummus as a guide to a place, and it was one of the best I ever had. It comes with fresh Simit, which is also known as a Turkish Bagel. Delicious! They also have lots of Turkish home made desserts, which we will need to try next time.

Absolutely loved this place — words can’t describe how happy we were to find it! We’ve been living in Florida for over a year and could never find a good Lahmacun… until we accidentally came across Gyro and Kebab. We decided to give it a try and were so pleasantly surprised! The staff is incredibly friendly — the guy who took our order was polite and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — everything tasted amazing! On top of that, the service was super fast. Big thanks to the two lovely ladies working in the kitchen for preparing everything so quickly. The prices are very fair, and overall, we enjoyed everything so much. Highly recommend this place to everyone! P.S. We only managed to take a picture of the Turkish coffee because the food smelled so good that we forgot all about taking photos.

I had the gyro sandwich and tabouleh. Absolutely delicious!!! Service was so polite and friendly. We also got fresh bread straight from the oven, and it was so good! They really care about the food and making customers happy. You can tell they have several regular customers, too, which is always a good sign. I highly recommend them!

This is what our plates looked like after the main course and dessert—completely clean! Every bite was absolutely delicious, a true celebration of flavors that delighted our taste buds. Friendly and welcoming staff and service. A great dining experience! ❤️

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Turkish place in Fort Lauderdale, and it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the chicken gyro, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and warm bread with fresh toppings. The flavors were authentic, and you could tell the ingredients were high-quality. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch—friendly staff who made sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for Turkish cuisine in Fort Lauderdale, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! Would highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delicious food and friendly staff that make you feel welcome. Hot bread served with our vegetarian platter, Greek salad was fresh and crispy and dessert and tea was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

A hiddem gem! As authentic as can be. You can’t go wrong with the Chicken shawarma plate or wrap. I will definitely be back and work my way down the menu.

We came here for our first time and the food was delicious! I got the falafel gyro and my husband got the chicken gyro plate. It was all very fresh and authentic! I would highly recommend. Also, the pastries are SO GOOD!

Food was good. I can see myself eating this food as a flavorful post work out meal. Meat is grilled. I had the Turkish meatball plate. It was pretty good portion sized too. I also had the feta rolls. It was a little herby which almost kind of feels like a spinach and cheese kind of vibe. I ate it with the yogurt sauce. All good food.

Fantastic Turkish place just across a side street from Home Depot. Just ask my partner: any excuse works for going to Home Depot...when he hears that I'm going g to Home Depot he places his kabob order with me. 5 star food: their Turkish specialties are unbelievably good. These folks really know what they're doing. There are a few other items like pizza and burgers 5 star service: the staffers are incredibly friendly. They're happy to explain anything. 5 star ambience: outside and inside are basic and clean, but anyone who works in a sly reference to banana brands and eating gets 5 stars.

Absolutely love this place! If you are craving Mediterranean style food that's the place to go! Best one in the Laudy area. Food is fresh and prepared after you order. None of that frozen BS. So much flavor! The staff is super friendly and helpful in case you are not sure what to get, hehe Plenty space to sit inside while enjoy the amazing food! The only thing that I wish was better is parking but you can park across the street at Home Depot! We will be back for sure! Probably next week, haha

The place was very run down, and had obvious water damage, mold and paint flaking off of the ceiling. This does not give a lot of confidence that the food will not be contaminated. The texture of the hummus was a little off and tasted like canned chickpeas. Also, it was just bland. Needed a bit of citrus to make it pop. The felafel was just ok. It was freshly fried, but was also a little bit bland. Needed more spice and seasoning. The texture of the inside was far too wet. I had hoped to get some kebab, but none of the spits were going. This made me unsure as to if I would receive leftovers or something prepared on the flat top. The service was friendly.

The food here is very good. And we enjoyed what we had. The name of the place is a bit deceptive as there is a rooster in the logo on the side of the building. I'm sure many people driving by think this is another chicken place. Although they do have chicken kabobs, it's really a Turkish restaurant. However, when my husband greeted the gal behind the register with a hello in Turkish, her reaction was huh?! Turns out she is Russian. And the gal working the grill/cooking the food in the back didn't appear to be Turkish either. We had been to this building before when it was another restaurant. We were familiar with the fact that there is very limited parking nearby. Behind the restaurant is one handicapped spot and three other spaces. They are also doing construction on the streets in the area so that makes it a bit harder. We can understand now why they are doing a big pickup and delivery business rather than dine in. We were the only dine in people when we arrived. A couple more guys came afterwards. We saw a few door dash type folks doing pickups, however. You order at the counter and pay there, and they bring your food to you. We chose their cold mixed appetizer plate. It came with hummus, baba ghanoush, lebni, and rice-stuffed grape leaves. I let my husband enjoy all the lebni which was like a thick yogurt with nuts in it. The chickpea hummus was creamy but not pureed; the eggplant baba had a nice texture as well. The grape leaves were standard but disappeared first. We were happy they had sumac on the table in a dispenser to season everything. They also brought an oval of hot fresh baked pita to share to go with the appetizers. After than we shared a lahmajun. They brought a plate first with different "garden" veggies on it -- lettuce, red onions, pickled shredded beets, tomato slices, lemon wedges, and a half pickle. The lahmajun is served hot. It's a very thin baked dough -- much thinner than a pizza or a flatbread. It was topped with finely minced/ground lamb. You tear off a piece and wrap it around the veggies of your choice. We also got a free piece of baklava with our Yelp check in. It was very good. Moist and sweet --but not overly sweet. The flaky filo and chopped walmuts made it one of the better versions I have tried. Although the building and the experience is a bit strange, we would return to try more of their menu as we like this type of cuisine. Just bring an open attitude and appetite to match.

I was stationed in Ankara, Turkey when I was in the Air Force and enjoy trying Turkish Cuisine wherever it is offered. When the server at the register didn't respond to my Turkish Greeting we figured some other parties were operating this location. We selected the Cold combo plate and a Flatbread with Sauce and ground lamb.(They also brought a plate of onions, tomatoes, and mixed greens to go on top of our flatbread). The Cold combo of grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush and a tart garlic yougurt was brought out first and each was very good. Some warm pita type bread accompanied the cold plate and was very good. We found out that the kitchen staff and our server were from the other side of the Black Sea ... Russia! Oh, by the way, they do have Chicken dishes too!

I have passed by here many times and we decided to give it a try. Parking is a little weird. We parked behind the building where it really only appears to be the 1 handicap spot (don't worry - we have a handicap placard and we were parked legally). If it wasn't for that, not sure where one is to park. Walked in and it was very quiet and clean. We ordered at the register, paid and sat. They have a good amount of booths and tables. Out came a basket of sauces - tzatziki, hot sauce and ketchup for the fries. Next out came the baklava in a small Togo container. We got some grape leaves to share. There were 4 giant grape leaves and they were very good. We saved 2 to take home. I ordered the falafal pita. It came with some sauce on side. Not sure what it was, but it wasn't tahini or tzatziki. The pita had the falafel, mixed greens, hummus and cucumber. It showed on the menu that there were pickles but there were none there and it could have used that briny pickly flavor. I was not a bit fan of the hummus but the falafel was very good. My husband had the chicken gyro. He said it was very good. He didn't use a lot of the spicy sauce as the heat quickly overwhelmed the flavor. My daughter had the grilled wings. Garlic sauce. She liked them a lot and they looked amazing. We ended with the baklava and it was a delicious end to the meal. Service was very friendly. We will definitely return to try some more items on the menu.

There is only parking for two cars behind this eatery. Not sure where else one could park. Maybe at the Home Depot across the street? The restaurant is small and on entering we were greeted with a clean, neat, festive dining room with no patrons. But we also faced an environment that was somewhat musky. I don't know if the AC was turned off. But something was amiss. So, we decided not to eat there and to take our food home. We ordered an appetizer of stuffed grape leaves, a chicken gyro meal with fries, and a Turkish meatballs meal with rice. There is very little meat served here. Mostly the meals are made with chicken. The food was ready in about 10 minutes. And I went looking for the fries before we walked out the door so I could munch on some during the drive home. And I was told they were mixed in with the chicken gyro meal (because that's how they serve the fries). I hate mushy fries. Anyway, at home, we hungrily pulled out our food and started to stuff our faces. The stuffed grape leaves were bland. The rice had absolutely no seasoning. And the grape leaf itself was washed out with no flavor. The chicken gyro was moist, plentiful, and mixed in with our (seasoned) fries (which made them a bit soggy). The Turkish meatballs were flavorfully seasoned, but alas they were overcooked. So much so that the meat was not moist and a bit tough. The "meatballs'' were actually small, hamburger shaped pieces. The rice that accompanied the dish was peppered with chick peas. It was a nice partnership. Our bill was close to $40 for two meals and an appetizer. So, pricing is not bad, especially since the portions are decent. Service was excellent.

We were so pleasantly surprised when we stopped at Chickeatah' for lunch the other day. We've been driving past since they opened because we weren't drawn to it due to the signage. We initially thought it was simply another chicken place. However, they recently put out a sign clarifying that it was Turkish food and it peaked our interest. Luckily we saw it and stopped in. The food was delicious! The chicken in the gyro was so juicy and flavorful. The french fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked, as was the rice! I had the lamb skewers which could have used a pinch more salt and seasoning but were still good. And lastly the chocolate baklava was so good that I didn't even get a picture before I indulged! The inside is very clean and open. We enjoyed the open view of the kitchen. It's nice to be able to see where the food is being prepared. And the girl behind the counter who took our order and served us was very pleasant and had some great recommendations. Safe to say we will be back! Note: Parking is a little tight. There are some spots in back of the building and to the left side of it. It appears a lot of the business is deliveries.

Great find! Excellent food, friendly service and spacious and clean inside. Parking is a bit of a mission, there are only like two spots and one handicap. They suggested we parked next door, so we did and it was not a problem. I wasn't sure on what to order so I got a few things to try and I feel like I made the right choice and discovered the best thing on their menu. Here's what I tried - Chicken Gyro Wrap - Loaded with chicken, mixed greens, pickles, onions, tomatoes. This was very good. The amount of chicken they put was generous and it was very juicy and flavorful. I would probably add a bit of salt to the chicken, but other than that it's perfect. 4.5/5 ($12.25) Turkish meatballs - Came with fries and a salad. These were not really meatballs I'm not sure why they were called that but they were DELICIOUS, wow. The flavor on them was insane, very juicy as well. I'd probably get a wrap with these next time. The best thing I tried this visit for sure. 5/5 ($14.75) I also tried their Falafel which were different from most I've previously tried, these were flat and a bit dryer but still decent. Their lentil soup was good but also different since the lentils were turned to liquid, but this was still creamy and good. Their baklava was given to us for checking in through the yelp app and it was extremely good, some of the best I've tried. This place is great, I just wish it were a bit closer. I would probably be here once a week if it were. Regardless I will find an excuse to come back to the area just so I can try more of their menu. They're for sure worth a visit!

First time here as visitors and because of the reviews we decided to come. It was exactly as we hoped it would be. The food was fresh and delicious. The attention to great customer service was evident from the start. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Delicious Mediterranean food with a middle eastern flair. From scratch cooking is evident in everything from the fresh baked pitas to the marinated chicken kebabs. The decor is unassuming and simple.

This place just opened across from the Home Depot on 4th Ave and East Sunrise Blvd. I originally thought it was a chicken restaurant till I looked at the menus. Well it's not. A mix of different items and Mediterranean food. Happy to say it was delicious. I have the Falafel and an order of baklava. The Falafel was excellent. For the price you get a big meal too. The flavor was outstanding. The baklava was excellent. Not sure if they make them there, but they are quite delicious as well. I hope this little corner spot makes it. Unfortunately very limited parking. Definitely going back.

How I'm sitting here at 12:30 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and this place is not packed is crazy. I just got done eating the Shish Kabob platter, and the food was out of this world good and full of flavor. Every different food on your platter has a unique flavor packed experience. The chicken is melt in your mouth tender. If you are reading this, make this your next lunch spot, and you will not be disappointed.

Everything is sooo good here the pita is phenomenal. The chicken shish kabobs are amazing and their baklava are soo good I forgot to take a picture!!! This place is a hidden gem!

Excellent authentic beef kabob platter Spiced well. Authentic hot Turkish bread. Support this new place.

I was looking for Greek food and found this place. I'm so glad I did! I enjoyed every bite and the service was friendly and fast. From the fresh baked pita to the different sauces to the Greek salad that included lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, banana peppers, and only a bit of lettuce with a delicious tangy dressing-- it was all so delicious and fresh. I never like grape leaves, but everything else was so tasty I had to try it and enjoyed them! The falafel was crispy and well seasoned. In addition to the tzatziki I had a creamy garlic sauce which was a winner. Aaaaand then there was the CHOCOLATE BAKLAVA. Heaven. Elena and her colleagues will see me again very soon!

The food here was amazing. The pita came out very fresh and delicious. The grilled chicken was great and had amazing flavors. The baklavas were also a great way to end the meal and they tasted phenomenal. I would definitely come back here.

Was driving in the area and recognized the name so I decided to pop in for lunch. The parking sucks, only two spots behind the back and a Home Depot across the street. Food was quickly served less than 10 mins and was super hot and fresh! Already a good sign. I tried the grape leaves and chicken gyro pita wrap. Not a huge fan of grape leaves and this was ok. Not bad at all - not my favorite. The fries were delicious and so was the chicken gyro. Definitely would come dine in and eat everything while it's fresh out the kitchen. I'll be back to try more menu items!

It's the kind of place I like. It's a whole in the wall and it is kept very clean. The staff is very small, there were only two guys working. One in the front and one cooking in the back. It seemed like they did a pretty good job working together. For a small place, they had a decent sized menu. So we started out with an order off grape leaves. Not only were they stuffed with rice, but they were the biggest grape leaves I have ever eaten. They were also really good. What we ate? My daughter had grilled chicken wings. They were all a nice size. She got them plain and really enjoyed them. My wife had a falafel pita, other than it could have used some pickles she enjoyed what she had, too. Me, I had a chicken pita, and I also think it could have used some pickles. I did like that they served the sauces on the side. I like to decide how much I'm going to use or none at all, and it's a good thing. The hot sauce! I love hot, and this hot sauce was so hot, "I was scared of it." To finish it of we had a small piece of baklava. It was too bad they didn't have any chocolate baklava. The pictures of it looked incredible. So we had the pistachios baklava. We shared it, not only was it really good, but just the right amount.

The food is delicious and the service was very quick. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was only 1 table occupied. I ordered to go and the food came out in about 10 minutes, which I thought was reasonable. Everything looked very clean, which always appreciated. I ordered the Turkish meatballs, which look like slider patties and are packed with flavor. They seem to have a lot of herbs in them, which I really enjoyed. The fries were crunchy and the pita was also great. Overall the portions are generous and I was very happy with my meal. You must try the baklava! It is delicious and just the right level of sweetness.

We had lunch today. Here are 3 photos that should tell the story. I still can't get over the home made Pita bread and Hummus. We had a Greek Salad, Turkish Meatballs with Rice. For Dessert Baklava and Turkish Coffee. Yummm We also took home , besides a lot of leftovers, some Lentil Soup to try tomorrow. We had a seat by the window and everything was clean. Our waiter seemed proud of this wonderful, tasty food and he should be! Very authentic and delicious!

Great place fantastic service! I had a chicken Gyro, stuffed grape leaves, and I was given a rice pudding. Everything was excellent, Even the French Fries! The chicken Gyro portion was large enough for two meals! They definitely don't skimp on the chicken The stuffed grape leaves came served with 4 and they were delicious And the rice pudding is creamy, tasty and not overly sweet. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

If you are thinking of eating at this place, do it!! Do not hesitate to. The food is so flavorful and always cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, and the bread is amazing. The chicken shish kebab is a favorite for sure.

I am really happy that I found this place. The food is amazing and so is the staff. It's the real deal and I will be back

I was in the mood for chicken gyro and this place came up. It's a cozy authentic Turkish restaurant right behind the HomeDepot in Fort Lauderdale. The staff was friendly, the location was clean and I liked being able to see the kitchen. I ordered a chicken gyro with fries, pistachio baklava, a bottled water and a Turkish pineapple flavored drink. I'll update once I taste

random gem we found when we were out running errands! Great value for money. Got the falafel wrap and plate with a baklava. They give you free bread and more baklava than we even ordered!! Delicious food. Fresh. Super nice workers (Elena at the register was so sweet!) will be back!

We both had the lamb adana meal. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned lamb. Delicious fries with a little seasoning. Side salad. Chopped cabbage with grilled hot pepper and tomato. And a huge Turkish Pita. I cannot wait to return to try some other dishes.

The food was very good. The staff is super friendly. Clean and fast service. We will definitely be back!

Gyro and Adana were great. Young woman at the front was very friendly as well. Certainly plan to come back more often.

Such a pleasant surprise. I did already expect the food to be good, but it was better than good. From burgers, to gyro plates, Turkish pide, Everything is excellent! As was also the service. Not much parking space, but it's a spot worth the effort to experience.

Absolutely delicious! The best falafel I've ever had - everything was delicious and fresh, from homemade bread to the soup special, Lentil soup, and the slightly pickled beets on the side salad was an excellent addition. Loved the tzatziki sauce (yogurt cucumber dill yum). My boyfriend had the chicken gyro which was huge and plentiful, perfectly cooked and lots of meat! Will be returning and don't forget the baklava! If you love sparkling water and/or mineral water, they have two kinds Turkish brands, the one I had was excellent. I love mineral water so trying a new brand was an unexpected perk. Service was excellent and the hostess (I didn't catch her name) was so friendly and answered all our questions. Sat it a nice booth and enjoyed the chill music while we waited. It's on the smaller side, but they also definitely accommodate takeout orders. Will be back!!!

This is the best Babaganoush I've ever had. It comes with homemade bread that you can't stop eating it's so warm and fresh. I had the chicken Shish kebab and seasoning was so flavorful. It came with 2 sides- love the basmati rice and salad. My husband had the chicken gyro and he thoroughly enjoyed that too. This is my new favorite place and very clean! Delicious!!!!

First let me start by saying you can see this restaurant as a Jack of all trades or having multiple personality disorder. It's chicken, it's pizza, it's burgers, it's middle eastern, etc. The good news is that if you want a good restaurant with variety, this is it. They are a halal restaurant and they are open until 9pm every night from what I understood. Very clean inside with a somewhat open kitchen, everthing modern. Liked the food, found the falafel a little awkward but tasty. HUGE portions that should fill you up. Pricing, very reasonble. Somewhat poor selection of drinks and no homemade ice tea. They have quite a few middle eastern desserts and the staff was helpful and friendly. Nice addition to this section of town....

Service was excellent and the food was delicious and well prepared. Try the falafel or the Turkish meatballs. Both are accompanied by a delicious fresh salad and other ingredients. The rice with the meatballs was really delicious.

Absolutely fantastic spot. Fantastic food, big portions, and a solid price. Great, friendly owners. Clean and nice place to stop by for lunch. Try. This. Place. Out.

Was excited as soon as I saw this place open as I pass it all the time, and it's something I feel like is missing in the area! Decided to give it a try and ordered the Chicken Gyro Wrap. Portions were huge (and they gave me a nice bonus treat), was fresh and still hot when I picked it up and by the time I got home. Highly recommend!! Only thing issue is there is no easy parking. Keep that in mind. I went on a Sunday and my trick was to park in the business to the left hand side that was closed. So I got lucky.

I was pleasantly surprised because I thought it was going to be more of a fast food place but the food was great and with a flair. Great flavors & will be ordering again.

Nice surprise while heading to Home Depot. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but well prepared and delicious Turkish food is served. Very clean inside and helpful staff. We enjoyed the babaganoush with THE BEST homemade pita bread!! We both had the plates- served with rice and salad. My chicken shish kebab was tender and delicious and the chicken gyro- well seasoned and huge portion. Great find- we will be back!

Can't say enough about this hole in the wall neighborhood place. Fresh, tasty Turkish Mediterranean food. I've been there for take out or eat in four times already and every time is a winner. Five stars for the lentil soup and the lamb adana special.

This place is wonderful homemade Mediterranean food with fresh baked pita and desserts. The service is amazing.

Great Turkish Authentic Food! Perfect Adana, kebab, babaganush. Great home food at low price! Friendly service! Come hungry- leave Happy

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant above! The place is clean, the food is delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

Don't let the name fool you. It is a very good Turkish restaurant. Everything handmade. Great portions, good prices. Extremely sweet service. We will definitely return!!

New halal spot in Fort Lauderdale. Wings were fire!!! Everything was made fresh to order. Huge portion sizes. Servers knowledgeable about the menu and gave recommendations. Will def come back

The food was absolutely amazing, the portions were large and the people working there were very friendly. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised I would highly recommend this place.

I've had 99% of the menu so far so I can attest to how bomb the food is here. The gyros are very authentic and come with a variety of sauces and toppings. The plates have a wonderful salad and perfectly cooked, seasoned rice. No basic side salad and bland rice like other unmentioned places. And the chicken? Juicy AF. I get the hummus in large portions because it's THE BEST I've found in SoFlo. The bread is so fresh it keeps for days! The price point is also amazing for the huge portions you get... not much can fill my husband up but one gyro here and a few grape leaves does just that. Biggest shout out goes to the staff. Not many places remember your face and even what you like but this place does. They really take care to know how you liked things and how they can improve in any way. I highly recommend checking them out!

I had probably one of the best shwarmas in a very long time. Fries were crisp to perfection. Parking stinks but I'm not their to park. I'm their to eat

Amazing lunch here today. Babaganoush was delicious! Falafel was amazing. And never had chocolate baklava I will be dreaming about until my next visit. Until next time!

Sooooo I wanted chicken takeout.. random food desire.. and I looked for something close to home (Flagler Village), Chickeatah came up. Okay great. It's like really close by, so I go and surprise.. it's Turkish! (Turkish food is like Greek, but better). My chicken burger was ready in 6 minutes, it was fresh and delicious, I got salad instead of fries, also fresh and delicious and a Turkish coffee (think espresso x10). Turkish food is underrated and highly unknown. If you like Greek food, I highly suggest you try Turkish. You may become a convert!
