This is far and away the closest thing that I've found in Phoenix that rivals the great hot dog/gyro places back home (Windy City Gyros in Wrigleyville [on Broadway just south of Irving Park rd since someone asked]) would be the gold standard-it almost brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it...). The gyros are very good, with solid tzatziki and pita. Their Italian beef is also quite good piled high with giardinera. read more

While I was waiting for my order, this guy next in line kept asking the girl at the counter "This is the real shit, right? It's the real shit?" Well yeah, at Chicago Gyros it definitely is. I live a few minutes away from here, but had not stopped by in quite some time. I had worked up an appetite this particular morning and I found myself in the gyro kind of mood. Goddamn, I think that gyro changed my life. It was succulent, flavorful, and so amazing that as you are devouring it you'd wish it could go on forever. It was basic, and perfect, no tomatoes or lettuce fouling up the works. My gyro was bursting full of meat and homemade tsaziki, and the accompanying ample helping of crinkle cut fries were also delicious (Greek places always have the best fries, I think because the only other thing they use the fryer for is the falafel?). It's the kind of meal you'll get a wild craving for, and I just know that I'll be sampling the rest of their menu with more frequency. read more

Wonderful chicken shwarma with a warm delicious pita. The tziziki is excellent! I'll definitely be back. The restaurant is very clean, ample parking. read more

Kronos brand Gryros, good tzatziki and the right pita are pretty much all you need for a good gyros. This place has it and they put the right amount of everything on it. Who cares about great service or ambience...it's a gyros place. In fact, it would be out of character for those types of restaurants. (cheeseburger, cheeseburger no fries??) p.s. the kabobs are really, really good too. read more

I have been here at least 10 times since my Hubby & I bought our 1st house in the summer of 08. We could walk here, we live 3 blocks away. Although, we have yet to do that. We've only ate inside 2 or 3 times, we usually just carry out because they close pretty early at 8pm, 6pm on Sundays. But its a cute little spot & like others have already stated its really clean. We usually get the same thing every time, he gets the chicken pita with a greek salad & I get the gyros pita (with an extra side of tzatziki sauce) with fries. He'll switch it up sometimes & get the gyros pita & I have tried the hot dog & pizza puff. I also love their hummus, its so good! I have also tried the spanakopita, it was good but the flavor was too rich for me. We got a to go order tonight for dinner & for the 1st time I tried their baklava. It was pretty yummy but a tad too sweet for me. I have tried their cheesecake once before & it was awful, still frozen in the center! They also have pibb xtra in their soda fountain, our fav! Love this place!! read more

Gyros are tough to rate. I am a firm believer that all gyro meat comes from one factory in the northeast. It really breaks down to what is served with them and how. These guys make them right. Crispy,juicy, and overflowing out of the wrap. Served up with some delicious tzatiki. Fries are ok, they're fries. I tend to find that the gyro fills me. I've also had some of their other items. The Falafel is wonderful, and the vegetarian platter is also great. Super smoky baba ganoosh, garlicky hummus, it's all pretty great. I've even had their Chicago Dog, which was perfect. The only negative with their food is that their chicken tends to be a little dry, and the service can sometimes seem like you're bothering them. But whatever, give me that gyro. read more

I swear to God, I always find the best eats right before I move far away. BEST eats. This place is SO clean. I could probably eat off the floor. Small joint with framed photos of the Chicago cityscape, sports [THE BEARS.], and Al Capone. Hell yeah. We told the cheery girl at the register we were first-timers and she got a menu while apologizing for potentially smelling like onions [she had just finished lunch, haha]. So gave us a rundown of the whole menu real quickly and when my friend ordered the chicken gyro, she suggested she get the chicken shawarma gyro instead, adding it was made with a special in-house marinade. We also got the vegetarian platter [2 kinds of hummus, 3 dolmas, 2 pitas, 3 falafel] and I got a chicago gyro [beef and lamb mix] with fries. Can we say fast? Like, that food was fast. I didn't know where to start. I dug into the hummus and swooned like [90s] Tom Cruise just asked me to prom. I melted in my seat and the floodgates broke. Crushed the most delicious falafel I've ever had: delicate, hot, wonderful with tzaziki but great on its own. Destroyed my gyro, and as the onion and tomato fell off, I hustled to put them back on top [and I don't even like onion usually]. Fries had a seasoning that reminded me of Tony Cachere's with salt [or if you're from the NW, Johnny's] seasoning. MMM. Dolmas served cold and didn't taste canned. Heaven. CG is heaven. read more

I cannot believe I have been so delinquent in writing a review about this place! They have a location near 46th St. and Indian School that I frequent pretty often, and it must be said: their food is phenominal and you MUST try it. Being from Detroit, I am a die-hard coney and cheese fry fan. I have NEVER been able to find really good chili-cheese fries out here in the valley....until now :) Yes! Chicago Gyro is my answer to amazing chili-cheese fries in the Valley. Their fries have this wonderful seasoning on them, and the chili-cheese is the CLOSEST i have found to Coney chili-cheese. Thats absolutely a feather in their cap. Aside from the amazing chili-cheese fries, I am also a fan of their dolmadas, and I usually order them together. In fact, I have ordered them together so many times, that the nice guy named Brian at the counter knows when I call because im apparently the only one that puts these two things together. Seriously! I'll call ahead to order for lunch and this is usually how the conversation goes: Brian: "Chicago Gyros, this is Brian" Me: "I'd like an order for carry-out....one order of chili-cheese fries with the chili and the cheese on the side, and one order of dolmadas" Brian: "Oh hey Brit hows it going. Ill have that ready for you in ten". He knows EVERY time. Its now gotten to the point where I can call and after he picks up I can just say "Its Brit" and then he tells me that my order will be ready in ten. Love it. Ive also had their hummus, their gyro, and their greek salad....all wonderful choices. Everything is served fresh, and you never have to wait too long or pay too much. Great food, great staff....many more visits to come from me. read more

Spinach pie==5 stars Vegetarian combo=5 stars Gyro Sandwich= 5 stars French fries=4 stars--not made well done as requested Clean environment= 5 stars Service=5 stars...... Everybody loved the food! read more

This is one of the first places I went to entirely because I found them on Yelp, and I was not disappointed. I've never had any sort of food in Chicago, never been. But I like this place more than any other greek place I've tried. While the prices could be a little lower for my liking (I want to say $8-$10), they are completely justified once you see the amount of food that you get. I always get the Gyro wrap, #1 I believe. Has a lot of meat; comes with a ton of fries. I suggest this place when I don't want to make dinner but I really want to feel full. It can get pretty busy at times, but when I've been they've had a cool headed guy answering the phone, taking orders, and handing out food all at once. I should learn my lesson and start calling ahead with my own orders. But I've lucked out since there has always been a game on when I'm waiting. The place has a dive feel, but sports some very nice flat screen TVs. read more

This is our favorite gyro place...and we have tried plenty! Not going to say it is the best in the world ( There was a little gyro shop in Friedberg Germany that will always be my #1!), but not sure any place in Phoenix beats it. While this place is small and it is NOT fast food, these issues pale in comparison to how good the gyros are. The generously loaded sandwich is way filling. You use to be able to seem them slice the meat right off the rotisserie, but the kitchen is a little more closed in now. The pita is super soft and the mound of fries can be easily shared between 2-3 people. Tend to only get fries when we go with my kids. The gyro is usually way more than enough Would love to try other things on the menu someday, but we trek there just to have a gyro! read more

Just tried this place on a whim. They have two locations. ordered 1 gyro combo to share just in case it wasnt that good... needless to say we ordered another one. Super fast... super delish, pita was soft and squishy and fresh! Meat was full of flavor and I cannot say enough about the taziki sauce... I know I didn't spell that correctly but it was darn good. I could have used a little bit more of it though. Fries were super yum.. they are the beer battered or battered fries... cooked to perfection and I enjoyed them thoroughly. They have china mist passion fruit tea... yum... and I would suggest to anyone who is a gyro fan to give them a try. I didnt try anything else on their menu and they have many other choices. read more

Chicago Gyros - It was delish!!!! Will definitely be back! - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I think this was the first bookmark I ever made, and I am always down for some Greek bliss. It's a little further north than I usually go, but dog-sitting for 3 attention-starved pups brought me just off of Union Hills, so a friend and I capitalized on the opportunity. Just pulling up to the place, it was somewhat surprising how many damn signs they have in their windows with pictures of their food. I mean, just a crap-load of gyro, hummus, and desert pictures. Is that a bad thing? No, not a bit, simply surprising. The decor of the place follows suit though. Its like a McDonalds' cash register come to life. Every menu item has a picture behind the register, and there are a few posters throughout the joint. The upside was that it does completely sell their food. It only took a moment to grab a few gyro meals (gyro, fries, soda) and the hummus trio. It was a quick wait, and we were out the door. Starting out with the hummus, I was pleased but not blown away. The trio included the standard hummus, jalapeno hummus, and roasted red pepper (at least that is what they tasted like). A huge hummus fan, I thought the standard was pretty good, the jalapeno was solid, but the red pepper just didn't have much flavor. It did come with hot flatbread, which is the perfect scooping material for my hummus. Once I had a few bites of the hummus, I unwrapped the gyro and just went "Wow". Literally. It's just a big piece of flatbread absolutely stuffed with gyro meat. Going with no tomatoes and onions (not a fan), I thought it would be a little light, but no way. And after I bit into the gyro? Holy crap. I didn't say it that time, but the meat is flat out amazing. Sometimes, the meat in gyros can get a little dry but this was moist and flavorful throughout. I just ignored the hummus and worked through the Grecian goodness. It may be the best gyro I have ever had, and it easily has the best meat I have to truly thank the Yelpers on this place. It is a bit far for a regular stop, but it will certainly be a place to go anytime I am up north or have the hankering for some gyro. read more

The Chicago gyro was pretty good as were the seasoned fries that accompanied as part of the combo. We also ordered the Philly beef pita which was fairly ordinary and somewhat lacking in meat. The DW had the beef platter and complained that it was entirely lacking flavour. So, the gyro was the best part and even then paled in comparison to nearby George's. read more

See all

I come here for lunch several times a month. Great fast food and they deliver. prices are OK but the food makes up for it.

This place is great. Go there on the weekends. Easy to drive right passed it. Right behind Circle K. Place is very clean and has fun Chi town stuff on the walls. All the pitas are good as well as all the Chicago favorites. They also offer other fresh and healthy choices like hummus, Baba Ghanoush, etc. Owner is typically there. Friendly service. Prices are very reasonable and service is quick. Enjoy! read more

Ordered Gyro meal - Gyro is piled with tons of gyro meat, tazique & red onion. Fries come with the meal. They were also really tasty. Next time I'll sub greek salad. Husband ordered Steak Plate - This was incredible. The meat has a seasoning that you can't put your finger on. Its mouth watering. They do something to magical to the rice, its so good. Also, had a greek salad - dressing was fresh tasting, really light and lemony, which I really liked. Overall, I'm in love. read more

I discovered this place about 4 years ago. In a non-descript strip mall behind a Shell station sits my favorite gyro shop anywhere. Anywhere. (I don't even live in Arizona.) I know they have other things on their menu... I stick with the tried and true, because it's so delicious - a gryo pita and fries. Okay, the fries - I could take 'em or leave 'em... they're nothing spectacular but always fried fresh and served super hot. No... it's all about those gyros. Perfect lamb-and-beef gyro meat, served with onions and the house tzatziki. Cooling, refreshing house tzatziki. All served on a thick, super soft, warm pita. I can't emphasize enough how perfect the pitas are at Chicago Gyros. They elevate the gyros and other sandwiches from great to fantastic. Fair prices, reasonably fast, counter service (although they'll bring your order to your table). If I can find any criticism, it would be that I spend most of my time in Arizona in south Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, so Chicago Gyros are kind of far away. read more

Nice little place. I'm not a big gyro fan but my wife likes them and thought that this place made really good ones. I had the fried chicken strips and I thought that they were overdone, but they still had a good flavor. Their fries were incredible. What I really liked about this place was how friendly and efficient the service was here. We got good recommendations on the dishes that they serve and we were even thanked when we were ready to leave. The facility is clean and attractive--overall a really great place to eat. I will be coming back on my next visit to the Valley. read more

I can only comment on the gyros - Excellent!! Generous portions, all the trimmings and the fries are great too! I have a family of four who all love the gyros and I usually order 2 gyros plates with two extra pitas - comes with fries, etc. plus two greek salads. Plenty of food for four around 20-22 bucks...five bucks each - not bad for a budget... One negative - I live nearby and can tell you - do not order online and do not call it in...take the time go in and order...it takes a little longer but, I honestly have never been dissappointed by their gyros! PS - I'm from Chicago and in my opinnion - it's one of the best Chicago gyros in the Valley! read more

Well I was back to Chicago Gyros a few days ago - pulled up into the parking lot as always, and one of the owners walked outside and literally greeted me with open arms like some old friend from grade school! Gee, I guess he read my last yelp review mentioning the 80 cent chage for an extra Pita. He apologized about 10 times, and said that it is not their policy to be that tight and that as a longtime customer the yound clerk should have thrown in an extra pita. The food was great on this visit as always and these are good people here. They even sent me home with a delicious & flaky Baklava compliments of the house! read more

Normally my family and I patron the restaurant and the food is tasty. However, when I decided to order delivery my daughter was missing her drink and we never received the 2 litres AZ well. When I called the restaurant, they told me it was their mistake and the employee didn't know how to credit my card for a refund. I asked for a supervisor and was told there is none! I finally pestered them enough for a refund of the missing items that I was billed for. Three days after the three phone calls. read more

My co-workers and I drive all the way over and wait in line during the lunch rush on our 30 min break (We'll risk it for Chicago Gyros!). I also go there on the weekends because it's soo good and my boyfriend loves it too! I've been to other Greek Places in the area and their meat is dry and the people are rude. CHICAGO GYROS IS WHERE IT'S AT FOR SOME YUMMY GYROS!!! read more

I have been coming here for a long time- 5 years or so. Always very pleased with the quality and quality of the gyros and sauce. But today 11-25-2013 I ordered one to go with extra sauce on the side. The gyro was about 2/3rd the size that it use to be. My friend and I would split it and not be able to finish it. I had no sauce on it ,the order taker was very confused. Now for taste. It was dry, tasteless, no onion and could not finish the small 1/2- In the trash it went. Maybe new owner or cook, what ever I won't be back- a real loss- I liked going to small shops but they have lost my business I will pay the price at My Big Fat Greek for a good Gyro- read more

WOW ... Chicken Pita and Italian Beef beautifully showcased the essence of great flavorful moist meat sandwich-like greatness! Salad was balanced and fresh and the light lemony greek dressing was too too delicious! Garlic sauce and Tzatziki was perfection. READ: Chicago Gyros is the place all of those other "Chicago/Mediterranean Pita" places only dream they could be if they cared enough about the quality of their food...their attention to flavor, texture, balance, and quality is unmatched. handsdown :) read more

My family loves eating here. Been going here since they opened. I usually get the gyro special. The prices tend to be a tad expensive, but willing to pay it. The only thing is that it seems to have switched owners. The original owners I thought were all really nice and even the ones in the back would make conversation with customers from time to time. The lady that runs the register I like, but the 2-3 guys that work in back always seem mad. Never have I seen them smile. Other than that, I like the place. read more

I ordered 2 hot dogs and 2 gyros, $26 what the hell. Then I asked for no peppers on the dogs. Sure enough peppers, no mustard, and raw tomatoes. The gyros, no sauce. Never will eat there again. I'll make my own. It isn't worth $26. read more

Good food! Always hits the spot if you are craving gyros! They also have lots of options to try something new or also pick up for the kids! Yummm! read more

Total fan! Checked this place out when I was visiting my man in Phoenix. Saw it every time we drove by - but not going to lie - pretty hesitant because 1) I'm a Chicagoan and 2) best friend's Greek, I can definitely tell what's good Greek, great Greek and Greek gone wrong, We hit the place around lunch time, so it wasn't too crowded. Guy behind the counter was on it from the get-go. Really helpful and suggested that we go with the #1 because that's what they're known for. We ordered two #1 - Gyros, fries & drink - along w/ an order of spanakopita and extra tzatziki (per all the Yelp recommendations). Here's the breakdown: -Gyros: Delish! Just the right amount of meat, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. Pita was thick and fluffy. Meat was super tasty. -Fries: Seriously, Greeks know their fries. Perfectly crispy, but meaty on the inside. I've never had bad fries from any Greek restaurant. Bonus: they give you a ton of fries! -Tzatziki: Total must if you love the sauce. I put it on everything. It did have a little more dill than my man cared for, but really that just means more sauce for me! :) -Spanakopita: This was ok. I was expecting more a flaky, buttery phyllo dough crust, but it turned out to be more of a deep fried hot pocket with feta & spinach. The filling was delicious and tasty plating it with tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cubes though. Definitely going to hit this place next time I'm in town. So many other things I want to try: steak shawarma wrap, Chicago dog, baba ghanoush, hummus, dolmas... the list can go on and on! read more

This is your typical quick service Greek menu, but is a real step up from the others around town. It's probably the food service gyros and such from the weekly delivery truck. As far as I can tell, the chicken is marinated in house. Great Tzatziki sauce and a deep menu. read more

This is my favorite gyro shop. Their lamb and beef gyros are very fresh and flavorful. You can also order souvlaki, hummus and your other favorite Mediterranean foods. read more

This is a great local, neighborhood greek spot. I recommend taking it to go, you won't be dissapointed. This is a family owned business and the food is equally as good every time. I recommend the gyro plates, hummus or vegetarian plate. The chicken gyro plate is my favorite and all their food is very flavorable. So far, this is the only local spot I would recommend in the NW area. It puts other greek gyro places to shame! read more

The falafel are a bit dry sometimes but they have a good humus selection. The service is good and food comes out rather timely. It does remind me of a real gyro place you would find in Chicago. It has a good vegetarian selection. They also have a wide variety of dipping sauces. Overall it is a good corner Mediterranean place. read more

My friend Joan had her husband's birthday party catered by this joint. All I have to say is AMAZING!! They knocked it outta the park! I am gluten free so I was happy that there were enough choices for me on the buffet. I wasn't able to eat Pita but my hubs said it was good. I did sample the hummus and Baba Ghanoush which were both spot on! I used cukes and tomatoes to eat these amazing bites of flavor. The earthy, smokiness of the Ghanoush was delectable and the hummus was silky and nutty. The buffet also contained basmati rice (fluffy and flavorful), Dolmas (hubs said these were okay), salad that was very tasty and filled with veggies, falafel (little bits of heaven), steak and chicken shawarma (very, very flavorful !), Pita chips (looked great but I couldn't eat them ;0(, TzaTziKi Sauce (perfectly seasoned!!) and black olives. I've probably missed something but I have to say that the choices were fresh and plentiful. I was so impressed that these people have got a new customer! Always looking for great food places and Joan said their pricing was extremely fair. If you want a great twist with compliments from your guests at your next catered event I would totally call and check this place out! WOW! She said they were wonderful to work with and THAT is hard to find these days! read more

I've been here a few times, and they haven't disappointed me yet. Their traditional Chicago (lamb) gyros are what you expect it to taste like. The philly is delicious, and their chicken has this curry spice to it, which is decently good. I love the tzatziki sauce. Their plates are just a larger portion of the gyros with the pita on the side. I personally like all the ingredients already put together as a sandwich. The fries are typical fries. I like how it's a pretty cheap joint that hits any greek/mediterannean food craving that comes my way. read more

Awesome gyros.. Gotta try the Chicago dogs next time. Fries are perfect and not greasy. read more

Chicago Gyros - Not fancy but clean and great food! - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We really enjoyed the meal we got for take-out on Sunday night. We ordered the gyros plate with a side salad and also an order of the Greek fries. Our bill was under $17. My husband and I split the food and it was more than enough (could have shared with a third person and still be satisfied). The meat was tender, the sauces tasted great, the fries were nice and crisp with a good sprinkle of cheese; I toss on the green olive oil type dressing onto the fries too. They do close early on Sunday's so be sure to order by 5:30 to beat the 6pm closing. read more

This is our Go to spot! Food always fresh and delicious. Plus the staff is so friendly ! Always makes us feel welcomed.

Tasty steak med platter. Good gyros. Excellent, fluffy, fresh, warm pita. Fast service. Makes my list for quick good stuff. read more

I went to Chicago Gyros with my husband, brother, and sister tonight based solely on the reviews on Yelp. I am happy to say that this place rocks! One awesome thing is that they offer "normal food" (sister's description) such as burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, and chicken strips as well as Mediterranean food. We got the Vegetarian Platter (appetizer) so the youngins could try something Mediterranean without committing to a full meal that they were convinced they wouldn't like. The Platter includes two different types of hummus, pita bread, dolmas, and falafel. Everyone tried the hummus and agreed it was "ok" or "I've had better" (me)... the pita bread was loved by all. The dolmas were scorned by the kids since they were - gasp! - green and slimy-looking. The husband and I tried them - we didn't love them, but we would try them again. The falafel were determined to be just okay - they were a little on the greasy side and I'm not sure if that is how they are supposed to be...? Husband and I got the Chicago Gyros. This is were this restaurant goes from two stars (more on that below) to four and a half stars. The meat was perfectly seasoned, moist, the pita was the perfect texture, and the sauce was delicious. Perfection when eaten with the meat and pita. I have eaten a LOT of gyros and this is one the best Tzatziki sauce I've ever had. The service. The guy behind the counter earned the nickname from my group of Mr. No Personality / Mr. No Smile. Seriously, he NEVER smiled. I cracked jokes, I complimented the gyros, I didn't even get a twitch of a smile or acknowledgment that I had spoken. The cook, on the other hand, smiled and thanked me while Mr. NP/NS continued to ignore me. Whatever - the perfection that is their gyro is almost enough to make up for him... he keeps them from a perfect score, so the final score is: 4-1/2 stars. read more
