Gyros and Tzatziki

I hate leaving low reviews for small businesses, but I feel like I need to let other people know that the 4.5 this place has is not accurate. The interior is not clean - there were flies buzzing around everywhere, the booths were covered with crumbs, and there was a bit of a foul smell. It was also freezing cold inside. But we were willing to look past this, and give the food a taste. We ordered the chicken skewer wrap. It was pretty good, not anything outstanding. The fries were good. But we also ordered the baklava, and there were something seriously wrong with it. It tasted like acetone or cleaning products… both me and my partner had to spit out what we put in our mouth. It was as if it was baked inside a pan that the cleaning products had not been washed out of. I’m very sad to write this review, because my hopes were very high and the reviews and pictures look so good. But that is not the experience I had.

The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was very friendly. The only issue with dining in the restaurant is the poor air quality and the lack of air conditioning. When the chef grills, the entire restaurant fills with smoke, making it hard to breathe. Other than that, it’s a wonderful, cozy little restaurant with great-tasting food. We paid a total of $60.34.

Ordered the gyro plate for delivery. Meat was tasty and well seasoned but was a bit overpriced from what I assume are the third party fees The jarred pickle chips on the salad were humurous. I probably wouldn't order again unless I could manage my own pickup - assuming the price is more reasonable

This place is SO good! The chicken gyro plate was full of perfectly seasoned chicken with the nice roasted bits from the way it’s cooked, generous portion of fluffy rice and pita, with really tasty side of tzatziki and chili sauce. The side salad was also prepared well fresh romaine and diced tomato and cucumber with a light dressing. Another shout out for this delicious pita too, it’s the pillowy warm kind The dining space is super cute and stylish too

Surprisingly awesome food. I would have assumed there would be more reviews and photos. Perhaps the generic name is the issue? We stopped by here to revisit some Greek food after our trip to Athens while walking 24th. We found the food to be really good! Not sure what to add really. If you like the photos, you'll like the food. Totally recommend. Will be going back. Service could have been better but there were only two people and they were running chores the whole time.

COME HUNGRY! The food was delicious. The meat was tender, the hummus was so creamy and Baklavas were simply delicious. I usually don’t like dolmas, but these were so good that I ate 3 of them. Very attentive service with good recommendations. Super Cute Greek vibe and it’s in the heart of the Mission! Can’t wait to come back with my friends again!! So much fun!

Good for casual dining. I went there alone for dinner. I ordered one mix plate and a baklava, and they were all great. Their meat was not warm but tasted good.

Was walking by and decided to try it. The server could have been a little more friendly. Or helped me decide on what to order. I ordered a combo plate lamb and beef gyros, and it came with rice salad and pita bread. Atmosphere would have been better if there was a screaming child. Other than that, I will recommend.

Gyros & Tzatziki is a perfect spot for great casual Mediterranean food w/generous portions and cozy booths. My go-to plates are the Lamb & Beef Gyro Plate and the Chicken Kebab Plate. The plates come with the most delicious jasmine rice, salad, pita and creamy tzatziki sauce. The Rainbow Appetizer combo and Spanakopita were perfect for sharing, and the Fried Cauliflower w/tahini sauce is a must-try! I have also used them for catering work events - everyone loves the food, it works for vegan/gluten-free, and is super affordable!

Don't talk to me I'm eating. Once in a while a plate of food puts you in a trance enough to sit there eating silently with your friend. Don't talk. Just let me eat first. Thoughts going through my head "how can this taste so good," "I wasn't expecting this tonight," "this is the most tender gyro meat I've ever had," "how nicely this sauce pairs with the rice." Service was so friendly. Walked in for Friday dinner cus it's try a new restaurant night. Surprised it was empty. They got quite a bit of takeout orders but no one eating in there. Only the workers in there. Was greeted immediately with a smile. Wasn't sure if I had to order then seat myself or politely ask to get a table first. Sometimes it's confusing at some places, I didn't want to be weird. Asked for a table then server brought menus to us. But the next person who walked in just ordered and paid right away at the cashier then sat down. So I don't know. I wasn't given water with my sit down meal. Cus I ordered the food without mentioning water, so it must be one of those don't ask don't get kinda things. As requested. FOOD: *lamb & beef gyro plate: what is this goodness! Meat is so tender. How nicely it sits on top of this rice. Pour some tzatziki sauce over both and eat it. Delightful. Comes with a side of seasoned tomato much like a salsa consistency. There was a red liquid salsa sauce too on this plate so you can pick what you want to dip your meat into *hummus with chicken kabob: o what now this is something new I haven't tried! Delicious! The garbanzo beans are blended enough that the hummus is completely smooth. Good salty flavor. Comes with triangle pieces of bread oops I mean pita to dip. I slathered the hummus all over my pita. Pita was swimming in hummus. Why not, cus they give you plenty of hummus in that bowl. How many times did I shout "delicious" throughout and after this meal. Maybe 4 times. Am I talking to myself or to my friend. Doesn't matter. Sangria available in glass, half, and full size So clean inside. Got that new restaurant feel.

I've only had the falafel burger and the falafel plate, and both were delicious. The fries are also really good. As a takeout place, Gyros and Tzatziki normally gets four stars, but as a restaurant, it's definitely three stars, and I'll tell you why. This place needs better management. Failing that, one of the three guys who is normally working when I come needs to take charge, because the current setup isn't working. You order at the counter, which is common at many San Francisco restaurants. One of the three guys will help you, but sometimes, one of them is just sitting or standing a few feet away from the cash register, but he won't acknowledge your presence. It's as if only people who will actually take your order are allowed to speak to you. Once you do (eventually) place your order, you're in for a wait. If you're eating in, that's all right, because the food is definitely worth the wait, and the small seating area is normally comfortable. If you're taking it to go, however, they refuse to say anything about where to be while waiting. I normally just sit down at an empty table because I know it will be awhile, but when I stand, I always feel like I'm in someone's way. When they're busy, not only does your food take forever to come out, but the service just goes out the window. Again, only three guys working, including the chef, but why does one of the remaining two guys always seem to be so stand-around-looking-dumb lazy? And the funny part is that it's not always the same guy; the one I used to think was a hard worker was sitting in a chair near the back last time I came. It was like he was in a timeout; he wasn't looking at his phone, just yelling random things to the cook occasionally while the other poor guy had to deal with four different parties eating in, plus all the to-go orders. So order it to go before you arrive. Or sit down and try to figure out what's going on.

Food was great. Chicken kabob was well flavored. Food ready quickly. Hummus was perfectly seasoned and good consistency. Fries were great but cooked somewhat inconsistently. Some were undercooked and others overcooked. However, there was a smell in the restaurant of mold that was so heinous we made a dash for the door. We'd planned to give this place a try for dine-in, but as soon as we walked in the door, it was so foul that we decided to order to go and took a walk around the block while our food cooked.

How disappointing to see a place I use to love coming to often become so undesirable. The last time I ordered from DoorDash and it was not what I remembered it to be so I just assumed it was an off day, but came back again and the food was not good. I don't know what they changed with their hummus recipe but it use to be so creamy and rich in flavor. Now the consistency is not as smooth and it tastes like store bought hummus. The meat was once very succulent and perfectly seasoned but now is dry and hard to eat. Staff aren't as nice and helpful as they once were. Hopefully they can go back to how they were when they first opened.

3.5 STARS Nothing says, stick to your ribs like a big hunk of meat on the bone. And, that's what got me through the doors at Gyros & Tzatziki. They had me at lamb shank! Opening in January 2023, Gyros & Tzatziki comes from the co-owner of Gyro Xpress in The Castro. They're open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining. There's one dog-friendly outdoor table. I've haven't ordered delivery but I often see BOGO Free offers for their wraps and fries on UberEats. M E N U Standard Greek & Mediterranean staples: Falafels, salads, soup, wraps, hummus bowls, and gyro/kebab plates. They also have Mediterranean-Mexican fusion tacos. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Sweets like baklava available but they looked quite sad...soggy and drenched in syrup. Tap water available upon request. No liquor license. F O O D * Braised Lamb Shank w/ veggies, rice, pita ($23.99): https://tinyurl.com/2u5d4z4r A feast for the eyes and your tummy, a bed of basmati rice topped with a meaty lamb shank served with a salad, warmed pita, tzatziki, and hot sauce. While the lamb shank was meltingly tender it was very bland: https://tinyurl.com/wzjtu9yk. Other pictures show the lamb shank bathed in a sauce/braising liquid with garbanzo beans and carrots. Mine was only topped with the garbanzo beans and carrots. Def had to make use of the accompanying creamy tzatziki and briny hot sauce (olive aftertaste). The basmati rice and warmed thick pita were fine. The side salad of romaine, tomatoes, and pickle had a very acidic vinaigrette to cut through the meatiness. S E R V I C E Fast-casual. Pay at the counter first, seat yourself, and your food will be delivered to your table. They'll bus your table afterwards. Food took a while during an early weekday lunch (one of two customers). A M B I A N C E Casual and cozy with pillow throws. Awkwardly quiet so some background music would be nice. P A R K I N G Challenging street parking. Overall, unless a resto has a specialty, it's hard to give a fair review based on one dish but that one dish I had was decent enough. 3.5 stars rounded up because the lamb shank's texture was on-point!

I'm writing this review in hopes for this place to do better! I really wanted to support this place but 3/4 of my salmon was uncooked properly which could've been a major health hazard. I also ordered a gyro that fell apart as soon as I started to eat it so I was overall disappointed. Mistakes like this can turn away a customer for sure. Just very negligent cooking in my opinion.

I tried Gyros and Tzatziki today. It was always on my to-do list. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the kofte plate and asked if he could combo it with a chicken kabob, and he did so without hesitation Customer service was on point. While I was eating, my server came multiple times to see if I needed anything. That's usually what I notice when I go to a restaurant. Whether they do or they don't. I appreciate it a lot when the person serving me checks on me regularly. You guys were friendly and approachable. The restaurant is really nice the environment is quiet and pleasant. I enjoyed everything this place had to offer from the good food to the customer service. I rate this place a solid 10/10. I will be back for more. Thank you for the experience. You'd be surprised how many big name establishments lack on service. You didn't miss not once. It was one of the best dining experiences in quite a while.

Food is consistently good! Delivery is always fast. They usually have good portions! Have had lamb, chicken and beef.

I ordered take out from this establishment recently and was sorely disappointed. I was interested in trying it because the ratings are good and now that I have it blows my mind that the ratings are as high as they are. The one pro was the service: the staff was polite and helpful. Other than that, all cons. My food was not ready within the time frame they'd given over the phone, which happens, and I wasn't upset about until I got the food back home and looked at the quality. I'd ordered the grilled salmon plate and the salmon was over cooked and dry, and seemed to have NO seasoning on it AT ALL. The rice was gummy, as if it had been sitting in their rice cooker with too much moisture for hours. And, to add insult to injury, the baklava was hands down some of the worst I'd had . I love baklava so I was particularly saddened by that. The baklava was so soggy and had been too soaked in the syrup. There was no crunch, even the nuts were mushy. The whole thing tasted like simple syrup and had the texture of wet dough. I will definitely not be back, and you shouldn't waste your money either.

I picked up an order for a dinner date the other night. It was ready via the doordash app in expedited fashion, so fast! Both orders were the chicken gyro plate, in small wet containers. The add-on hummus was so small (think salsa container size) we could hardly coat even one half of the bread we ordered alongside the meal. For $19.99 a plate, this was not enough food, a burrito would have been more filling for a few dollars less. The chicken to rice ratio was way off! 70 rice and 30 chicken, with that chicken being dry & unseasoned. The whole meal needed seasoning when we unboxed at home. On the positive side this meal caused no indigestion. I had high hopes remembering when this place opened up last year, it was packed and it looked lively. We came in to a ghost of a restaurant on a Sunday night when the meal was ready. I'd give this place another chance when I decide to dine-in. The quality might be lower for takeout/delivery from the story that their pictures tell. ‍ It was shocking how fast they had our food ready! I've had cheese & garlic naan bread take longer to be prepared!

COME HUNGRY! The food was delicious. The meat was tender, the hummus was so creamy and Baklavas were simply delicious. I usually don't like dolmas, but these were so good that I ate 3 of them. Very attentive service with good recommendations. Super Cute Greek vibe and it's in the heart of the Mission! Can't wait to come back with my friends again!! So much fun!

Amongst the 24th Street hustle and bustle is a Mediterranean restaurant...Gyros and Tzatziki! Nestled between other food establishments you'll find delicious food. Stopped by for lunch and it wasn't packed but it wasn't empty. And I noticed a steady flow of lunch customers picking up their food...a great sign. You enter into a cozy but well organized dining area with plenty of seating. Staff are very friendly and you can watch the kitchen make your food. If you're a fan of Greek Mediterranean food you'll appreciate the flavors being spot on! Recommend and will be back!

Been here a few times. Owner is friendly and sometimes I pass by and see dance parties at night! Would be down to come back to try more dishes Had a nice falafel rice bowl at Gyros! It was good and also came with pita. This place has a nice Mediterranean vibe and decorations. Reminds me of being in the Greek Islands

Nothing to criticize. Food, service, ambiance - all above expectations for a small restaurant (that had nobody inside at 1pm on a Saturday). I will eat here regularly. And I write this 5-star review hoping that it helps, in some small way, to keep them running long into the future. (My background, for context, a culinary enthusiast at home. Airline pilot who travels a lot. Cook better than I fly, I'm told, and know good food when I'm eating it). Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

This place is legit. Lamb burger was . Fries are good too. The mix gyro plate was also delicious. Service was great. I was very happy when the gentleman taking my order didn't speak English because I knew it was legit. Crossing the bridge was certainly worth it. Ambiance is cool, it's good for sit down or take out.

I'm so sorry to say this but the Avgolemono smelled so strongly of sewage and tasted the same. Great Dolmas, nice server, but probably the worst dish I've ever had anywhere in my life. I feel so bad saying this, I don't want to destroy anyone's livelihood but it has to be said. :(

I recently went here with my beloved. Gyros and Tzatziki is in the same location as Ritu Indian Soul Food Kitchen was. The folks who run the business are from Turkey. Having gone to Turkey and spent six weeks backpacking in the Middle East I am a big fan of Middle Eastern Food. I am a longtime vegan and they have many vegan options here. We split the vegan falafel platter, dolma, and French fries. The vegan falafel platter was quite alright. We loved the falafel and hummus. The salad was okay and the pita bread could have been better. The dolma were quite alright and the French fries were excellent. The service here is very friendly and hospitality is a hallmark of the people in the Middle East. Our server even brought us complimentary Turkish tea. The restrooms were clean and overall a positive experience. We will be back!

Wow, that mixed wrap is absolutely delicious and the spicy sauce is just out of this world! Plus, the staff are incredibly friendly and the service is super quick. I also love how the walls are decorated with such colorful and unique paint - it really adds a special touch to the restaurant.

This was my first time here. The gyros tastes juicy and flavorful! It also has a nice, soft texture. The tortillas taste authentic and like something I, as a Mexican, would use at home. The fries look like your average fast food joint fries, but they taste so much better and are nicely crisped The garlic on these fries is very fresh! The restaurant itself is really new and clean. I like the atmosphere. I'll come here again

Ordered a beef & lamb gyro with a side of fries. The pita bread was soft and fresh. Beef and lamb were seasoned pretty well and not too dry. The side of fries was a lot for just myself but I'm glad that it seemed freshly cut and fried.

Tucked by our pottery studio a cute little place. Loved the ambiance and service was prompt- it's a casual order and then sit down style. Food was fresh & portion great. The tea was yummy. Will be back for more :)

The service was one of the best service I've ever had in my life and in San Francisco! This was an amazing experience both the cook and server were very polite and courteous. I was in love with the vibe inside and outside of the restaurant, amazing decorations and good music playing. The food was amazing and had great taste. We had an explanation for every plate 10/10 Everything was clean and perfect. We will be back My favorite was the Chicken Kabob and Hummus

Lamb burgers are great!! Good food , good people !! Good burgers, all the food is nice

I ordered two lamb & beef gyro wraps online to pick up. When my mom opened her wrap to share a piece with her friend, she noticed that the pita bread had black moldy spots on it. The restaurant has to be extra careful in making sure the pita bread is fresh before serving it as part of a meal.

Chicken gyro was super dry but the lamb kebabs were really good. Great service though!

Likely the best gyro wrap I have had in the city. Ask for the extra tzatziki. Simple, fresh and high quality ingredients. Friendly staff, comfortable joint.

Love this new mediterranean restaurant in the mission! The food is really good, and they have chocolate baklava; it was the BEST i've had, I was blown away. My favorite entrees were the lamb shank along with their homemade hummus, tzatziki & baba ganoush! | IG: Smackinfood

Burnt, soggy and cold. Pretty disappointed. Couldn't get a refund because I ordered it on Uber eats.

This spot on 24th, in the mission is a spot you can't pass up. They have such fresh options. From salads, hummus, and all their meat dishes. The owner Cemo is very warm and welcoming. Go by and have yourself a wonderful plate and a glass of wine. Take a look of the dishes that are featured on this post. They are open late!

got the chicken gyro wrap - overall flavored well, but disappointingly small, more a snack than a meal

Chicken was good and tasty,however the portion is for ridiculously small. We got a half of spoon of rice with 2 chciken kabobs for about 22 dollars. It did come with a salad but again the portion is for a kid. They use these small togo containers,It reminded me of airplane food portions or a giveaway lunch at school. Gyros and tzatziki ,stop shorting customers on the amount of food you give. My 90 year old grandfather would still be hungry after eating here.

I tried the lamb and beef bowl and was surprised when I realized it was a bowl of tzatziki sauce and meat. I supposed it's on me for not reading the menu close enough and thinking that it would be a bowl of rice and meat. The meat was cooked very well and bread was an amazing melt-in-your-mouth warm experience. Additionally, the restaurant was decorated nicely and had tons of seating which would make it good for large gatherings. However, I'm leaving three stars because when we walked in there were flies EVERYWHERE. In fact - we didn't even want to wait inside the restaurant for food and decided to sit outside. I hope they're able to fix that and perhaps this was a one of experience.

Fantastic food and fantastic prices! Came here last night for a late night snack - yes, they are open until 2am - and got a huge lamb/beef gyro for only $12! I did also order the rainbow appetizer that says it's $6.99 on the menu but then they rang it up as $14.99, when I asked about it they did give me a discount but beware. Again the food and the value you just can't beat! Their pita didn't seem to be home made but it was warm and their dips were super fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back!

Omg! This is a must for those who love Middle Eastern cuisine! The humus is smooth, baba ganoush is hearty & will of roasted garlic , the dolmens are some of the best & freshest you'll ever have! They're not canned. And falafels are crisp on the outside yet grainy & warm inside. Their house made sauces complement the dishes, including the side salad with fresh dill pickles! Service is prompt, professional & sharp! Due to Pesach , I couldn't get the syrup soaked cake, but I can't wait to get it next time! Also , PSA: MAY 8,2024 is Wraps Day! $8 for each wrap! This place is the bomb digging & am so glad it saved me a trip from the 16th street spot, Truly Mediterranean.

I got the falafel wrap from here and it did not disappoint. It was huge first of all, and packed like a foot long subway sandwich. It was so good that I ate it all. Also asked for tzatziki sauce on the side. The falafels and pita bread were fresh, as was the tahini sauce inside. I would definitely order from them again. This was my first time ordering from them and I chose takeout but next time I wouldn't mind dining in. It seemed nice inside.

Love this place! The employees were very prompt and friendly when I arrived. My order was ready and I was out the door. I loved the mix plate. The gyro meat is great and the chicken with the red sauce was fantastic. Lots of flavor here. Greek cake was nice and moist too.

Truly WRETCHED food. Just had the Lamb & Beef Gyro Wrap for $16, +$2 for Hummus and +$1.5 for Feta, it was TERRIBLE. I asked that the meat not be overcooked and dry, but guess what, the meat was overcooked and dry, and TASTELESS! The wrap itself looked like a plain flour tortilla and NOT pita bread like the photos, i.e. BAIT AND SWITCH. Upon close examination there seemed to be a minute amont of bread like porosity in the core of the tortilla but nothing like real pita bread. The gyro was wrapped in aluminum foil just like a small burrito, and I mean small, PATHETIC. By just looking you'd swear it was a small burrito. The aluminum foil was also folded into the gyro before it was rolled, a clear sign of IDIOCY and DISRESPECT. The added amounts of lettuce tomatoes cucumbers and onions were miniscule at best, never could find the Feta. This place is a FIRST CLASS RIPOFF pure and simple, all they want is your money! Now I don't like writing negative stuff like this but I feel it is my obligation to alert unsuspecting folks like yourself so that you can avoid these places. So,,,,,,,DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PLACE! You have been warned. They will never see me again, and I hope the same goes for you. P.S. For $19.5 you can get a great fresh super burrito that will choke an elephant at any decent taqueria in The City, enough said. Also, staff were cold and impersonal, no smiles, no eye contact, just interested in their own convesations, this place will not last! And the people who left +++++ comments are nothing but SHILLS. "Best food outside Turkey," HOGWASH, and I mean that literally!!!! Have you ever been to Turkey? I mean where do you eat your food inside Turkey, the dumpster? I'd venture another guess but I won't post it here, catch my drift. I mean just watch the videos. People Travel to Turkey just for the great food, NOT to SF. This is a stretch, but I'd say dumpster food in Turkey is way better than what you can get from this place, there I've said it! Now I'm going to go watch some Turkey street food videos to calm down.

Discovered this hidden gem when we were out late after a concert!Soft pita bread was perfect, and the juicy chicken kebab was a delight. The rice was soft and so delicious too. Lucky find! Thank you for havin

La Mejor comida Mediterranean en el area se los recomiendo vallan a probarla y la gente que trabaja muy amable me encantó like The best Mediterranean food in the area, I recommend it, go try it and the people who work are very friendly. I loved it.

Delicious and fresh food. We ordered the avgolemono soup, feta fries and the tzatziki salad.

The food here is pretty tasty, but expensive (small portions for what you pay). They clearly made a mistake on a recent takeout order, and by the body language of the person who gave me my food, noticed but said nothing. I didn't catch the mistake until I got home with my food, and was pretty annoyed that they did nothing.

warm baklava that melted in your mouth complimented with their tea was A+! loved that it wasn't sickeningly sweet also, just right. Tzarziki paired wonderfully with my entree which was the chicken shawarma. Came with a hot sauce on the side with perfectly cooked rice and salad of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Rrelaxed, informal but comfy atmosphere with art and a bookshelf in the background. Would come here again.

I went in an had the lemony chicken soup which was so delicious and hot on this cold day! Then we shared the falafel plate and there was a good amount of food for the two of us. It was all really tasty and reminded me of NYC and the various places like this that are everywhere. Ok, it is not super cheap, but it is not expensive. Some of the reviews are just absurd. I am personally sorry I drove by this place for a year and did not stop in sooner. Anyone who knows what it costs to pull a restaurant off when you serve good food, would not complain. I say go, and leave with a satisfied experience.

Finally, a great Greek place opened up near my house. Love that it's walking distance and the food came out fresh. We ordered online and picked it up. Large portions and delicious food. I ordered the chicken kebab plate + hummus ($2 more) and my mom got the chicken tacos (3). I loved how juicy and tender the chicken was. Sometimes chicken can be over cooked on a skewer, but they were able to retain the juiciness! It was a quick transaction. I did not sit and eat, so I can't say how the table service was. But there was plenty of seating and I was immediately greeted upon entering. Would love to sit down and eat there. Maybe next time!

Visited this place for lunch one Saturday. It was quiet and the waiter was really attentive. He recommended the lamb so I tried it and it was tender and pretty good. The pita was also warmed up and fresh tasting. Portion size was very big.

Lamb kebab wrap and spanakopita Needs much more meat/spinach Not worth the price!! My coworker and I could have bought a rack of lamb for cheaper!!!

Nice folks, good food. A bit expensive for me, but enjoyable. Wait staff accommodating and helpful.

So ordered dinner for 4. One of the mains and one dessert was missing, so things didn't get off to a good start. The food that we did get unfortunately didn't make up for it. The mixed gyro plate was a mix of gyro meats on top of soggy fries all served on oddly cold soggy pita. The falafels were dense and uncooked inside. The desserts were all expensive for what they were. The Nutella spanakopita was uncooked filo in the middle the portion was tiny (okay in this case), the cake was ok but this one was a 1.5 inch cube of cake. Overall very disappointing.
