As someone who loves gyros and Greek food, I'll admit I've mostly stayed around downtown Indy when I get the craving. But I needed something different, because the Greek food scene here just hasn't hit the same for me after growing up around Chicago and living on both the East and West Coast. This place was exactly the kind of spot I was hoping to find. First off, the owner is an older gentleman and he's awesome. I ordered, stood at the register waiting to pay, and when he came back he asked if I needed anything else. I told him, "I need to pay," and he just goes, "No, you pay after you eat. Don't worry about it." You don't find many places like that anymore. The gyro itself was packed to the absolute brim. Honestly, it could easily be two meals. The meat had great flavor, the pita was fresh and flaky, and everything worked perfectly with the tzatziki, feta, lettuce, and tomato. The place itself is simple when you walk in. Nothing flashy, nothing overdone. But between the owner, the regulars, and the overall feel of it, it almost feels like you're sitting in someone's home you grew up in. Comfortable, welcoming, and real. Definitely a must-try. The gyro gets a solid 8.1/10 from me. read more

Excellent gyro's !!! Very authentic and also a large amount of food!!! They have some of thE best hot sauce in Indy . read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident when I went to Rosie's garden center while pregnant and hungry. The owner and his wife are so kind and accommodating. The food is made to order, fresh, and authentic. The baba ghanoush and hummus are served with warmed pita and are so incredibly flavorful. This is the best Mediterranean food I found outside of Chicago. read more

Every fiber of my being wanted to love it here. Environmentally, I've never been more at home. This place has me thinking there's a negative correlate between formal table setups and comfort. Every dining surface was copy-pasted from church luncheon lore. Lulling me into a peaceful position, plastic chair and tablecloth combos will have me sharing diabolical information to strangers. To add to this growing acceptance, all fifty sauce offerings gathered in unity on some singular, sequestered side table. These bottles issued the friendly challenge to, "Come try us all big fella." I need this dipping accountability everywhere. Adel's welcome persisted, this time into some more specific items of locational bliss. Bathrooms have wall-mounted soap dispensers, boring. Sometimes your spare Sunoco may slap down a countertop soap dispenser and ignore filling the wall-mount, understandable. Here, they didn't fill the wall-mount and put down two countertop soaps, assertive. Something about this gesture promises efforts elsewhere, I like that. For the remainder of my carry-out wait I watched an NBA game which I soon realized to be a rerun. Playing full games of old on the lone TV (in I believe to be Arabic) is so unbelievably cool. As many close to me would know, I was dialed into this telly. Now onto the sad part. Grub was just off. Each item in my assorted platter was a little weird in flavor profile. This could be a potential missing ingredient, recipe imbalance, or simply doing more than what's necessary. I still chowed, but it didn't have me itching to return, even considering all of the aforementioned acclaim. Hoping my plate was the exception and that Adel's keeps pumping out meals for the foreseeable future. Cheers to setting the tone well. read more

Love the place. Great gyros, baba ghanoush go there despite the hassle of college avenue being torn up. Great little family owned restaurant

Adel's Gyros - Front counter - Greek Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Excellent gyro and super friendly service. Adel's is a much needed and much appreciated Mediterranean destination on the north side. The gyro was delicious. Not a big fan of their pre-crisped seasoned fries. I'd rather have classic crinkle style. Great for Carryout and there are several inside tables too. They may have the largest collection of hot and other sauces available on a side table for customers. read more

This place is def a mom and pop place. There were 2 ppl working on a Thursday lunch. You order at counter, and they bring it out. The food is good, the gyros was the star. I regret ordering the chicken Schwarma instead of the Gyros. They have plenty of different sides and specials including aveglemono lemon rice soup. I will get that the next time. You wait longer for smaller restaurants, but we did not mind. There are no fountain drinks, just a cooler of bottles and cans. The ambiance was rustic. I think they do a lot of carry out. There is a table of hot sauces, and some tables with succulents. This is not a place I would go out of my way to frequent, but if you are in the area, get some gyros. read more

Wow, this place is amazing!! Highly recommend the spicy gyro and baklava! And the service was awesome!

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. We went on a Wednesday during lunchtime. The owner took our order immediately, and told us what was popular (gyros) and what he recommended. I ordered the chicken shawarma, my friend ordered the gyro. Both orders were made fresh and we were served about 10-12 minutes after our orders were taken. The food was DELICIOUS. The chicken was tender and had good flavor, as did the tzatziki and hummus. My friend really enjoyed his gyro. Prices were fair too for how much food we got ($16.33 after tax for my shawarma and soda). The owner was super friendly too, and offered us THE best baklava I've had. Sweet, sticky, and just big enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. It's safe to say this spot made our favorites for office day lunches. We'll be back soon! read more

Adel's Gyros - Sauces - Greek Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

A little surprise with the number of happy reviews that it was pretty quiet inside. They have a number of sauces/seasonings to add, pick your choosing. Spicy Gyro with homemade Tzatziki sauce. Great gyro of nice chucks and plenty in my lunch. Sauce was good and not overpowering like some others I've had where the flavor and smell stay with you for the rest of the day. Really good and crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside crinkle cut fries. OMG- the baklava! Fresh- soft- bursting with flavor tasting the honey, filo, and a background of nuts. A must! This is worth the stop if your in the area read more

Probably the BEST Gyros I've had in Indy! Full of flavor, fresh tzatziki sauce and a warm and fluffy pita that was the perfect compliment to the gyro! The service was great, met the owner who took my order, and came by to make sure it tasted good and what I expected. It's a smaller restaurant, yet clean and plenty of tables. There were probably only a dozen people in the restaurant when I ate, but a number of people ordered their food to go. Will definitely come back soon! read more

So I have been a big fan of Adels for years. A couple years back they had a fire and I was so excited to see they were back open. Finally had a chance to visit with a friend today and it could have gone much better. First and foremost they still have a huge gyro. The owner and his wife are still there. The restaurant was pretty full but no one in line at the counter. We were greeted and our offer was taken quickly. Then the wait began. It took over 35 minutes to get two gyros and fries. The pita was not warmed or if so it was cold by the time we got our meals. The meat was slightly warm and the fries were warm but wouldn't call them hot. I truly hope they can get more efficient as a lunch venue most people just don't have that long to wait for a meal. The tzatziki is really good here so if you have the time give them a try. The decor is nice and bright after the remodel. read more

Adel's Gyros - Gyro - Greek Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Unbelievable especially with the gyros and we definitely will come back again!! The owners are so sweet and served us well!

Found this remarkable little jewel after shopping next door. The couple who are the owners were so friendly and a delight to meet. My husband and I each ordered the Gyro one spicy and one regular and let me tell you the meat was so tender and flavorful, I was amazed and the amount of meat that was on the pita bread was plentiful. Homemade tzatziki sauce was delicious. Adel and his wife were so friendly, coming out to talk to us to see how we liked our meal and telling us how they meet and ended up in Indy. We also got a piece of baklava, Delish. Please don't overlook this wonderful experience. We are coming back for the lamb chops and I can't wait! read more

Happiness of the owners, cleanliness and good vibe. Recommend the gyro meat be sautéed....a tad mushy. Portions allowed us to enjoy not only dinner, but breakfast with scrambled eggs the next morning and lunch for me 2 days later. Don't be in a hurry, the chef cooks for each table. read more

Adel and Charlotte welcomed us like family on our very first visit. The gyro meat was perfectly seasoned, and the pita were large and warm. The homemade chicken lemon rice soup was absolutely delicious, and the tiropita was baked to perfection. We plan to make Adel's one of our regular spots! read more

Love Adel's Gyros! Excellent gyro sandwich. Pardon the image the gyro that was partially eaten. But, you can imagine how large it was! I can only eat half. His wife makes all kinds of soups, and there is authentic baklava! read more

Adel's Gyros - Gyro Sandwich half eaten! - Greek Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

The best gyro in 10 years! Everything so fresh. Pita, gyro meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onion slices. It was fabulous and I will be back. Adel is very friendly and gracious. The tzatziki sauce was A+. Like the real thing. Most gyro places I have been to seem to just use sour cream without much flavor. The amount of tzatziki sauce was my favorite thing. Often you just get a tablespoon of sauce in gyro places for the huge sandwich. Slathering the sauce was great! The Avgolemono soup was more expensive than the gyro sandwich. I wouldn't order that again. It was $13 for a large. Maybe 12 ozs. Didn't taste the lemon and the rice tasted like minute rice. Tasted like chicken rice soup. I think he might have thrown it together since I ordered soup. It came with one lemon slice. I didn't taste any egg in the soup, which is what makes the soup so special. The place is clean and fresh and comfortable. read more

This place is great! The owners are awesome and friendly! The gyros are so good. The meat is moist and delicious. The tzatziki sauce is the best!! If you like gyros you have to check it out! read more

The food is always great. The service is always quick and friendly. Very comfortable atmosphere. Adele had another cook helping out so the service time was cut in half. read more

Today being Greek Good Friday and with our Greek Easter this coming Sunday, we decided to carry out from Adele's Gyro on 96th and College tonight. The owner, Adel, is always behind the counter - he is a very friendly and personable man. Tonight my wife and I shared a spicy gyro sandwich, a small Greek salad and an order of Greek potatoes. Having had gyros all over the country, I can honestly say Adel's is one of the best I've ever had. The flavor of the meat was very tasty and the portion was large enough for two of us to share. If you want to experience authentic Greek food, give Adel's a try - you won't be disappointed. read more

Huge Gyros! And very tasty. You can make two meals out of it if you can keep from overstuffing yourself when you are full. I hear they had a recent fire - you would not know it from the inside - very clean and well put together. I have never eaten in, but will some day. Great local place - I will be back. read more

Glad to see they are reopened! Had a fantastic takeout meal. Huge portions, homemade, service with a smile. Thank you for feeding us. read more

I feel like Adel and I might be best friends? At least, that's what the owner made it feel like when I stopped by for some gyros. I was lucky to be waited upon by the friendly gentleman who owned the joint, and we chatted like we were old pals, even though I didn't know this soul even five minutes prior. I don't usually care if the service is friendly or not (just give me my food fast and without hair in it), but in this case, the friendly banter made all the difference. In addition to making new friends at Adel's, my gyro was very good, and so were my fries. The pita was tender, and the veg inside the gyro tasted fresh, and the meat was nice and juicy without being too greasy. Adel's is located in an unassuming area near College and 106th. It might be out of the way, but it is definitely worth the drive. read more

Tremendous gyros and fabulous fries. Tzatziki is great! Great service! Try this hidden gem it will not disappoint!!

This place is very close to where my sister lives, and now every time I am in Carmel I have to come here! I got the spicy Gyro sandwich and the green fries, and I've honestly have never had a gyro this good. It's always so nice to get food from a place owned by wonderful people as well. I've only been here a few times but have experienced only amazing service and food. read more

We live in St. Louis but our daughter and son in law live in Indy. We came over and were watching our grandson and I decided on Gyros. I was happy we chose Adel's. No web site but their phone works just fine and I think Adel took my order. Easy to find and right off College Avenue. Parking lot is well lit as is the restaurant. Everything prepared right in front of you after you order. We got a regular gyro, a spicy gyro and baklava and all of it was excellent. Travelled well but would have been happy to eat there as it is a charming little unpretentious place. Portions were all huge. Neither of us could finish the gyros. Baklava fresh and tasty. Very polite and anxious to please. It will be a regular stop on future trips. Lots of specials too. Ask about them when you call or just come in! read more

Excellent gyros taste great with enough meat for 2 sandwichs friendly staff! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He's the inly one working. It took some time for our order. He was very kind and running around to get our order out. The food was great!!

This is not fancy Greek dining, but it is GREAT Greek dining. And it's all about the quality of the food. I have begun to realize that whenever I'm hungry for a gyro, I need to suppress my hunger until I'm in the Carmel area. No one else's comes close. It's the taste. It's the tenderness of the meat. It's the always-fresh pita. And it's the obviously-homemade taziki sauce. If you love hummus, this is your place too. Yet another homemade item. Adel's is not the cheapest place you'll find, and it's not a place to which you'll want to come on a first date ( although it's very neat and clean ); but it's most definitely a place that you'll make a part of your regular rotation. And the people that own and run the place are an absolute delight! read more
