Mr. Gyros

Tried Mr. Gyros on Phinney Ave today! Loved the variety of options for breakfast: from the delectable Shakshouka perfectly cooked with tasty spices and tomatoes, to their special rendition of French toast accompanied by a crème Chantilly made in house. My favorite was the grilled Zaatar Halloumi toast. The fava bean plate was beautifully served in an authentic pottery bowl so enticing to eat and very healthy. Overall, a friendly atmosphere, great service, delicious food and delicious desserts. Great experience! Will definitely return and recommend.

Best breakfast in N Seattle! Who knew when they came back to GWood, they'd also be doing breakie & brunch?! We went last wk & I'm still thinking abt it. Totally recommend! Great falafels, too.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. The menu has a great selection, and I’m already planning to come back for brunch — it looks amazing! Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone who loves Mediterranean food or just wants a relaxing, delicious meal.

I found a new Greek spot! I just moved here and I've tried a couple other spots in the area- this one just FEELS right. The gentlemen behind the counter greeted me and made sure to ask if I had questions. I wanted a falafel but also a Greek fry so I upgraded to a combo upon their suggestion. Johnny made sure I was taken care of and tha everything tasted great before leaving. I'm glad he made mine a little spicy. Happy camper. Will be back.

Mr. Gyros Greenwood is simply the BEST there is. You want great atmosphere? Mr. Gryos. You want mind-blowing food? Mr. Gyros. You want the best breakfast you never knew you were missing?? Mr. Gyros!!! The Greenwood location is lucky enough to have breakfast options available! The Baklava Pistachio Walnut Pancakes are so decadent, without being too sweet. The homemade rosewater simple syrup that goes with them is the best rose-flavored thing I’ve ever had. It lights up the flavor of the pancakes themselves in the most amazing way. And you get two pieces of baklava on top, beautifully shaped into roses themselves. Sammy and Joni truly make you feel like one of the family, whether you’re returning after the long-awaited comeback of the flagship store, or a new convert (like me), who was lucky enough to live in Greenwood when they reopened! It is the most welcoming environment, and offers a more peaceful experience than some of the places on the main stretch. If you live in Greenwood, are just stopping by, or happen to be passing through, you HAVE to stop at Mr. Gryos. You will truly get a feel for everything the neighborhood stands for, and your mouth AND your soul will thank you.

I want to start off by saying the shop was designed very beautifully and it feels very welcoming. The staff were super friendly and they were really accommodating to our questions. We had high hopes because of the high reviews, but were unfortunately let down when we ate. The meat was quite tough, the pita was dry and stale. Portion was pretty small for the price we paid for compared to other competitors. I love supporting small businesses and being transparent about it, hopefully they take our review as constructive and not criticism.

Have been coming to Mr. Gyros for nearly 20 years and always have loved their food. I have been able to try the new Greenwood location twice now for lunch and this morning for breakfast. Everything was delicious. We had the pistachio and rose french toast, and the Mediterranean omelette. When we came for lunch we had the Beef Kebab plate and it was so so good.

Mr. Gyros is always the best in quality fresh food and absolutely astounding service! Whether you're eating in their brick & mortar location(s) or from the food truck - this family & their delicious cuisine are not to miss in Seattle :) My personal favorite is the falafel plate and the dolmades.

I tried Mr. Gyros in Greenwood Seattle today for breakfast and was very pleased with this little gem. The Shakshouka platter was delectable with the spices and perfect egg's crispiness. The French toast was unique in its presentation accompanied by a perfect crème Chantilly that's house made. Loved the fava bean platter presented in a pottery bowl. Finished the whole thing with Turkish coffee in cute China espresso cups. Will definitely come back and recommend it. Yelp, I had posted a review earlier today but do not see it. Please do not delete this.

After weeks of procrastinating, finally I had lunch at Mr. Gyros in Greenwood. Had I known the flavor and quality will be this good, I would have visited much sooner. I typically don't write reviews, but with the amazing lunch, I have to share my experience. I ordered the combination shawarmah platter and it was out of this world. The spices reminded me of the shawarmah I'm used to in Lebanon. It's the flavor that you'll remember for the rest of your life. With the shawarmah I had an amazing fava beans (foul mdamas) dish which I highly recommend. Make sure to leave room for the Maamoul desert which is amazing. This little authentic restaurant will definitely be one of my favorites and will visit frequently.

Years after the original greenwood location was lost to a fire, Mr. Gyros has triumphantly returned! In the intervening time, I've become very fond of their food truck, so I was excited to learn that they'd be returning a brick and mortar restaurant in greenwood (they also have one in Ballard). The owners are really nice and I'm so happy that they were able to fulfill their dreams of rebuilding. The new shop looks amazing. The inside looks fresh and modern; sometime put a lot of thought into the design and decoration. There is also a covered outdoor seating area. Because the restaurant faces away from Greenwood ave, it feels more quiet and peaceful than it would otherwise. The food is great, as expected - I like the gyros and anything with lamb from them.

*originally 2 stars but edited for 1 after the owner's response* NEW: it is alarming that the owner sees nothing wrong with the way their employees handled the pita. Gave it to me in the ORIGINAL grocery store packaging like I'm some kind of handout. GROSS! Original review: There's two dedicated spots for the restaurant right in front on busy Phinney Ave so that was nice but other than that, not impressed. Got take out on a Friday night around 5 pm and we were the only ones there. We ordered the lamb gyro and the chicken shawarma salad. I didn't have the lamb but was informed that it was not very flavorful or good. My chicken shawarma was well seasoned but had a bad chicken smell to it, like it was uncleaned. Also the workers were extremely sloppy and haphazardly gave me two pitas that were leftovers in the packaging (see in attached photos). That was the final nail on the coffin because who is that lazy and left me with so many questions about the quality of their food. It's not great from a food safety or presentation standpoint as the bag was already opened and I don't know how long they've had it/ who's handled it. Overall, I don't trust their safety or quality here and I will not return.

We began eating at Mr gyro's so long ago I've lost track. They only had one little restaurant on Greenwood which has since blew up in a gas leak. The two brothers are so personable that part of the enjoyment of going there was chatting with them. Now they have at least 3 places and rarely do you see them. Usually they have Mexican help which is fine but something has been lost. My wife and I went to their newest place in Greenwood Saturday evening. It has a small but bright interior. Quite pleasant. Mainly though I am disappointed with the flavor of their food. Portions are generous but not as delicious as I remember. Nothing that makes me want to return.

Early lunch at 11am and I had no idea they ahead vegan options and such an authentic middle eastern/mediterranian options!!! I also enjoyed mint tea on the house with real mint leaves! Service was attentive as I ate in. Casual but can be romantic? I don't know. I was not here at night. Lots of togos. Outdoor space is so nice & have warmers. For people with dogs, they are welcome! Amazing fava bean that is made in house with garlic sauce! I also had fellafel sandwich! I will have to bring my dog sometime and enjoy the patio seat. Maybe I'll bring my own wine too? I'm sure they have corkage. Loved it! It's on phinney so if you are coming from main drag look for the A board and patio covered space. There are few spaces to park.

This Mr Gyros is a neighborhood treasure. It is the perfect place for a hungry weekend brunch on a lovely shaded patio. Sammy, the owner, manager and kitchen maestro, warmly welcomed me like an honored guest to his home. The lamb/beef gyro was perfect; lively with bright tzatziki sauce and lemony hummus; wrapped in a warm soft/ lightly charred pita; bursting with crisp cucumber and lettuce and luscious red-ripe tomatoes. This is real gyro; not the fast food, salty-desiccated jerky and wet, under-ripe vegetables that so often claims the name. Here, everything was zesty and clean; filling, satisfying, and light. The meal chased away my mental cobwebs and the warmth of the lovely staff had me ready to face the day with a smile. Sitting on the patio, chatting with neighbors and new acquaintances reminded me of my days in beautiful Beirut in better times. I had to go back for lunch to treat my family with gorgeous falafel sandwiches, chicken gyros, and savory lentil soup. It smelled so good that I stole bites and sips of the delicious stuff at every red light; and enjoyed my hero's (gyros?) welcome from my health obsessed (thankfully) mostly vegetarian daughter and the their friends. Don't miss the lentil soup. Don't let the word vegetable scare you. This soup shows what vegetables can be when well-treated. With both meals, I had the baklava and Arabic coffee. The coffee is the real-deal- elevating and rich. The baklava is made in -house, don't miss it. It has the real, nutty sweetness of pistachios and lightness of crackly layers of light dough, it is not cloyingly sweet, overly-dense, or sticky. The best thing if all is the staff. The staff embody Sammy's hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail. From the carefully crushed fresh mint in the tea to the layer of thick coffee at the bottom of the cup, the staff show they care. The restaurant is sparkling clean, warm, comfortable, and inviting. Don't be dissuaded if there is a little wait at the door or the register; or if you must park 1/2 a block or so away. Enjoy the walk, enjoy the day, and enjoy this place that is clearly a favorite of locals who know where to truly eat.

So glad we finally got to try the food here!!! And hands down Mr Gyros gets a 5/5 for service, atmosphere, and of course the taste and presentation of the food! This cafe resto is super cozy and gives off Mediterranean vibes. I love that there was some Arabic music softly playing in the background. Everything is in the details. Being middle eastern, I'm always on the lookout for authentic flavors that remind me of home, and Mr. Gyros definitely hit the spot for me. Honestly what a great menu! From the halloumi zaatar sandwich, to the cauliflower, pistachio French toast with rose water, iced tea...Everything tasted so good. The gyro was sooo flavorful and tender. Loved it!! The plate portions are generous and filling. I love that you get a bit of everything on the plate too (hummus/mutabal , greek salad, meat/chicken, rice, tzatziki sauce, pita bread). There are only 2 parking spots right near the resto, so perhaps park in the street over and come on down. Bottom line: you NEED to try this place!! Check out the photos. Warning: you might start feeling hungry.

Quaint, clean space with beautiful music and vibe. Sweet service and extremely knowledgeable with menu. Unfortunately they don't serve their French toast or other decadent desert type items after brunch- post 2pm on Sunday. The food however, was tasty and clean! Good clean ingredients and beautiful presentation. We would definitely return if we were in the area. Cheers to yummy finds Yelpers! Xx

Great food and great service. I got the Gyro salad to go and it was the best Gyro salad I have ever had. I can't wait to go back and try the Veggie Gyro. Service was also great. very personable and accomodating. Cheers! I will be back!

How I heard of this place: More than a decade ago, we moved to the neighborhood, where Mr. Gyros was a community staple. Months later, while sleeping, we heard - and felt - a huge explosion. Before we could make Mr. Gyros a neighborhood favorite, it was gone. Here we are, ten years later, and their newest cafe-restaurant is back. Type of cuisine: Mediterranean fare in a cozy, quaint, Mediterranean inspired setting. Ambiance: A sweet space tucked away for really only locals to walk up to (only one or two parking spots are available at the establishment, others needing to find street parking (or paid off-street parking around the block) blocks away, fighting for one of few spaces not already taken by residents). The walled-in patio greets patrons with its stone and patio umbrellas, cute and truly niche in this neighborhood eatery. Inside the rounded archway, one finds the kitchen, a seat or two at small tables, looking more decorative than functional, among the beautifully curated walls of plants and minimalist Mediterranean setting. Music blasts - making it loud (maybe too loud?) for residential neighbors, and adds to the sweetness of the cozy setting. What I ordered: We placed our orders at the tall walk-up counter, then found a covered table in the outdoor patio where we could enjoy the waning warmth of the setting sun at dinnertime. In our small party, we enjoyed the Greek Fries ($4.09), Cauliflower tahini salad ($7.99), Chicken Tawook "kabob" ($11.39) and Chicken Shawarma ($17.39), as well as an order of Baklava to round out our meals. What I loved: I loved the flavorful, well seasoned/marinated chicken. The salad was crisp and the hummus creamy. We especially enjoyed the crispy-soft fries with Greek seasoning atop. Why I loved it: It's fun to have a place in the neighborhood that can transport you to your favorite Mediterranean cities - reminiscent of spots in Eilat, Haifa, Athens... The food is good and it's great to see Mr. Gyro's back! Cost: High

I was so excited to try this place after reading the reviews. I even bought extra hummus and tzatziki because typically after a yummy Greek meal I'm craving the sauces later. I was so disappointed to find that my gyro meat was bland and they didn't even warm up the pita bread. They gave it to me in the same package that they must have bought from they grocery store. Overall, very disappointing experience.

Mr Gyros is located on Phinney Ave and it can be difficult to find parking as you're fighting for parking amongst numerous apartment complexes. The restaurant is in a relatively small place with a handful of tables in the outdoor patio and a few inside where it can get cramped. Everything looks new and service is great - staff are super friendly. I will note that their brunch items which are available everyday end at 11am (at least for weekdays) which isn't what's on the website or menu board. Overall the plates are good. The gyro were thick and some pieces crispy while the beef kabob had good flavor and pieces of onion inside. The pita bread is really thing which I haven't seen before. Overall, a good spot.

Very cozy and nice atmosphere. The interior and exterior of the restaurant looks very modern and clean. The pita Gyro was delicious and had a nice spicy kick to it. Full of flavor and I definitely plan to come back.

What a hidden gem this was! A bit back from the main stretch, this Mediterranean goodness has a cozy but modern vibe with small indoor and outdoor seating. The food was fresh and flavorful, the staff was kind. Definitely will be back.

Good place to get a quick Mediterranean food. Food came out in a couple minutes. Friendly service. The water was horrible though, the water was salty. Anyways pita bread was thin but everything else was good.

Mr. Gyros never misses! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can tell the owners truly care about their customers and their food. It's rare to find a place that feels this warm and consistent every time. Highly recommend!

Both dishes are flavorful and delicious! Coffee has nice cardamom aroma and smooth taste. Really friendly people and vibe.

Tucked away from the other neighborhood restaurants, i almost forget its back in the neighborhood! But when i remember and walk over for the gyro plate... LOVE! The food is so fresh, flavorful and beautiful. Their new patio is cute and comfy on a chilly day (heaters) . Love this spot. Think you need a bigger sign/reminder on 85th so I remember youre here!

This place is the best I swear and I'm always so surprised it's not packed full everyday of the week. They have great savory lunch and dinners and great brunch options on the weekends! And they now have a juice bar!

So glad to have this delicious food back in my neighborhood. I was out of town during the 2016 infamous gas explosion, saw the pictures on national news, and wondered how the businesses would ever recover. Luckily this place opened a new location (no longer 85th/Greenwood, it's one street east). Mr. Gyros takes the care needed to make consistently mouth watering chicken shawarma, perfect pita and the best baklava in town. This is family cooking at its best, fairly priced with generous portions. Claudia, our server, added to the experience with her friendly charm. Happy to support small local restaurants, it's what makes a community special.

The place has a great vibe, modern but still true to its Mediterranean roots. It feels warm, welcoming, and relaxed, the kind of spot where you can take your time and really enjoy your meal. The staff couldn't be nicer; friendly, attentive, and you can tell it's a family run business that truly cares about their guests. The food is fantastic. Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and the portions are generous without feeling over the top. You can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving a delicious meal and want to enjoy a real Mediterranean atmosphere.

I absolutely adore this place. The food is amazing (and I can honestly say that it has the best French Toast in Seattle). It's clean, always has great music and fast service, and is the perfect vibe for either a date or family time! My husband and I had dinner here on opening night and again for brunch today. So I think it's our new spot! The owner remembered us which was also very sweet. Keep up the good work!

Great little neighborhood spot. The food for me is a solid 3 stars, it's good and consistent but not mind blowing. For my money, in this area i prefer the flavors over at hummus cafe, but Mr Gyros friendly service - and I mean always friendly, really sweet group of folks here! - breakfast options and neighborhoody patio make it a solid destination for me, also the fact that I don't need to cross 85th or Greenwood to get there (I'm lazy ok?) bonus points for being open at 9am on Tues so I can get my Turkish coffee fix. Basically if I want a solid falafel sandwich and baklava to go with no frills, I'm gonna cross the streets, but for a leisurely brunch to catch up with a friend over shakshuka on a quiet patio, Mr Gyros is the one.

We absolutely LOVE Mr. Gyros! They regularly come service our office for lunches, and last weekend they served lunch at my dance workshop on-site. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is the friendliest you can get :) Supporting a local small family business AND eating a tasty & healthy meal? YES PLEASE! :D

I'm so glad this place is back. The Greenwood location was special to me, and now it's back and better. If you're in this for gyros, my review is simple: I've been going to one Mr Gyros or another for 16 years and they're all great. 5/5, easy as that. (If you're indecisive, I suggest the chicken shawarma.) But this location has brunch. And french toast. And I love french toast. Of course I had to try it before reviewing. And great news, french toast fans: It was sublime. The zaatar halloumi toast was also superb if you're looking for something less sweet - and I have no doubt that the rest of the menu is equally excellent. This might sound familiar, but 5/5, easy as that. Every now and then you can find a place where the food is good, and the people are great, and when those combine you get a place that's something special. Mr. Gyros is it. (A couple mundane notes: Parking is difficult on Phinney, especially in rush hour. Park a street or two over if you want to be safe, but there are a couple of reserved spots in front, you might get lucky. Seating is limited, but the patio is lovely and they've equipped it for hot or cold weather - still, if it's peak hours I suggest at least being prepared for takeout.)

OMG. this place is AMAZING!! SO so so cute inside (and outside), and the service was absolutely unbeatable. the kindest people in the world! and the food. holy smokes the food. the baklava pancakes were out of this world, and i tried a piece of the lamb from one of my friend's orders and my life changed. i'm absolutely coming back asap to order off their regular menu!!!!

Second time this has happened - they forgot the most important aspect of the order for Uber delivery - that's the actual sandwich / Gyro!! So I have to drive to pick up - which is cool but I paid for delivery - Never again - the Ballard location is great - Phinney

Best breakfast in N. Seattle!!! I've always loved hitting up Mr. Gyros for a fab falafel, but the Greenwood location has breakfast, too. We decided to try it out today and had the shakshuka, walnut baklava pancakes (mini baklava on top!) and french toast (housemade whipped cream, raspberries and simple syrup on the side!). Unbelievable! So perfect w turkish coffee and fresh beet/ginger/lemon juice on the side. New favorite spot! 100% recommend. You're welcome, lol

This has been one of our regular spots for over 6 years for a reason. The food isn't fancy, but is delicious and reasonably priced. I'd recommend the lamb shawarma sandwich and the garlic sauce is definitely worth a try.

Best mediterranean french toast ever! My boyfriend had the chicken shawarma plate and said it was very flavorful. The staff Daniel and Claudia were super nice and helpful when it came to picking out good food. Such a good brunch vibe would definitely go again. Also my first time trying Turkish coffee and it was yum! Anytime I'm in North Seattle this is my new go to spot!

First time trying this amazing spot! Ordered the plate. I came with well season beef, delicious rice, hummus, a refreshing salad, and side of pita bread. Definitely very filling and generously priced. The staff were so friendly I ask for extra tzatziki sauce and they definitely hooked me up. I highly recommend if you're looking for a cute cozy spot any day. Thank you very much for the great experience.

I have been a customer of Mr. Gyros for 5+ years and it is by far my favorite restaurant in Seattle. I am so happy for them they are finally able to open a new Greenwood location after losing the original in 2016 to a gas leak. I went to the soft opening last weekend and I did not think their food could get any better, but they have new menu items! Like a delicious vegetarian lentil soup that I will no doubt get a bowl to go on every visit. Can't wait for the Grand Opening next Tuesday, March 25!!!

French toast was amazing! The new spot is clean, quick, and exactly what you want when you're hungry.

Best and most authentic Greek food I've ever had. Tasted so fresh and delicious. The customer service was incredible.. everyone is so friendly! Highly recommend Mr Gyros

this is my official statement what I have to say one thing about me is I am a one and done type of person for restaurants and I'm very picky on where I go to eat. I call it how it is and everything else. The staff and the is service is excellent. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant. I recommended this restaurant to people because it's very good and excellent. I always get full which is a very good thing. The portions are excellent

I have been coming to Mr. Gyros for nearly 20 years and always have loved their food. I have been able to try the new Greenwood location twice now for lunch and this morning for breakfast. Everything was delicious. We had the pistachio and rose french toast, and the Mediterranean omelette. When we came for lunch we had the Beef Kebab plate and it was so so good The interior is so welcoming and you feel like you are dining at home with friends and family. The service is always wonderful and everyone who is a part of their team is very friendly and helpful. .

The gem of Greenwood has returned! We are so happy Mr. Gyros is back up and running in this part of the city. The Wallingford location became our "go-to" when the original Greenwood location was forced to close. The vibe is what we have all come to expect from this family-run operation. Warm, beyond friendly, pristine, and thoughtful. My wife and I enjoyed the Shakshuka which came with pita and was remarkable. We also ordered (without question) the BEST French Toast I have ever eaten!!! Familiar, elevated, and yet somehow not overdone with pistachios and raspberries sprinkled over rosewater whipped cream.... Insanely delicious. "Mom" emerged from the kitchen with Turkish Coffee to appropriately complete our brunch journey. Her care and intention come as no surprise based on how her family treats everyone who walks through their doors. I had an equally great conversation with "Dad" yesterday. (Yes, I was here for lunch less than 24 hours ago...) Chicken Shawarma sandwich with fries is consistent and always top notch. Best in the city! We are looking forward to coming back many times for years to come. Perhaps tomorrow for Sunday brunch with our girls...?!?

I got the lamb Greek salad and it was fantastic. He had been serving a bunch of hungry dancers on a short workshop break and kept things rolling nicely. I was impressed by how many of us he was able to serve. Very friendly and personable guy. Would definitely prefer from him again when in town.

Best French toast in Seattle. Turkish coffee was delicious! New favorite brunch spot!

Food delicious. Staff friendly. Went last week & returned today with a group. I love the falafel wrap, friends ate Greek salad, lentil soup & other wraps. The menu is on a board inside. A few tables for 2 inside, crowded area If busy, you may be lining up to order. Spacious patio,one step up from street, with a slat pergola covering - which can be closed in overly sunny, or inclinent weather. Portable heater available. Needs parking signage as there is some off street parking available. Some paper or QR code menus might be helpful.

Mr Gyros is one of the best spots in Greenwood! So glad they were able to reopen their Greenwood location. We loved sitting outside. Felt like we were transported to a courtyard in the Mediterranean. Amazing service and the food was unbelievable, honestly some of the best gyros we've had in Seattle. If you're looking for authentic Greek food this is the spot! 10/10 would recommend!

We're so glad they're back after 9 years! Definitely even better, with more options and richer flavors (love the mint in the salad!). Super friendly family runs the place, and nice little courtyard seating now! Welcome back to Greenwood!

They're back! Best gyros in the city hands down! Always friendly and the new store has great ambiance

amazing food, recommend the falafel and honestly every single dish here is amazing. Staff is wonderful Claudia always takes care of me every time I'm there, makes my experience even greater. always clean and the music gets my body moving. Smells great once you walk in and even the leftovers make your car smells amazing. I will be a forever returning customer. Authentic food, and great Turkish tea. New juices are yummy too. Beautiful flowers in there as well. Please go here. Thank you.

The hummus and pita were super good! I could have eaten a whole tub of it. The side salad was amazing. Fresh and crisp and actually had flavor. The Turkish coffee was good!

This place is so good. My wife and I eat here at least three times a week. Their Greenwood location has some awesome original menu items and also serves breakfast. The Shakshuka is amazing.

Great to see this place back in the area. Food is always up to par and very tasty. Great atmosphere and service is always with a smile. Will be back for sure.

Mr. Gyros is a new favorite spot for breakfast. I have gone twice both the food and the service is outstanding. I love to have the Turkish coffee in the cute coffee cups along with my favorites the shakshuka and French toast.
