I came here bcuz of all the positive reviews. I arrived and the service and kindness was very good. Even as I was waiting for my sandwich, the servers were very kind and wanting to make sure if I needed anything and I was comfortable. That's the customer service "I Love" and wish was more available these days.
I was a bit taken back by the price for a Gyro sandwich - over $18.00. Even though I "Did Not" want to pay that price, I went for it especially since I've been looking for over 2 months for a good to great Gyro. To my dimise, I was very disappointed ! First of all the lamb meat was shredded and very flavorless. The tzatziki was almost flavorless as well. I tasted more yogurt than anything. Lastly, they put pickled onions on their sandwich. Who does that? Again, in my valuable opinion, this is an abomination of a Gyro.
Here's some backround info on me; I have a good foundation for Gyros being born and raised in Chicago and I visit 2-3 per year. Gyros are a staple to Chicago along with pizza, hot dogs and beef sandwiches
Therefore, for many who read this review and have been to Chicago or lived there or still do; you as a customer at this restaurant will definitely agree. By me saying this, I caution you to remember the very high price before you even think of trying / comparing this so called Gyro. Fyi, the price you pay here is equal to 2 Gyros with "A Lot" of lamb meat, non-pickled onions, tomato and very good tasting tzatziki in Chicago. As a matter of fact, Paul's Place here in CA is a good Gyro. It's not great but it is good. I even think Arby's is better than this place, not to mention they are 1/2 the price.
As to the other foods they offer, I don't have an opinion. With that being said, I am a bit concerned about the pricing. Call me a sucker for punishment but I may return for a better flavor. And that is Because of the Wonderful Customer Service and Kindness
For those of you have read my reviews in the past, I am all about customer service. It is my driving point to enjoying even a not so good food experience.
