Excellent food! Excellent service. If you enjoy gyros this is the place to eat. My wife and I always get the gyro plate and the meat is always so tasty and the portions are good. They also have pastries that are well made. read more

food was good. we came here again we ordered lamb gyros and steak gyro. It was yummy and juicy

This little spot is amazing! I go here regularly and the people are so polite and sweet. The food is so yummy! 10/10 recommend.

The food was delicious and the service wqs awesome. Owners were very welcoming, and the restaurant was amazing

I love eating here ! They will make the food spicy if you ask them. The meats are delicious. I don't like lamb do can't comment on that. Everything else is delicious read more

Gaters is money! I have read the reviews and I have to say....very disappointed. Every meal I have ever seen the kitchen feverishly preparing has hit the spot! The service is great considering it's a quick Mediterranean bite. Aesthetically it's not the place to bring the fam. So the oener is accommodating lol read more

Garlic chicken gyro taste so good. Definitely try this restaurant. I found the food to be very good. Service was great and friendly. He answered all of our questions. We will definitely go back. Thanks read more

Came here on a afternoon with the music playing so loud that it will almost deafen you. They try to upsell you for everything. Now they have different sizes for the food you order and a 3 dollar difference for every size. Small, Regular and Large. Ordered a "Large" chicken plate and a "Large" Sandwich and seasoned fries. The owner lady was constantly yelling at the 2 employees and jumping from cashier to kitchen to everything possible that she can do. Maybe trust your employees to do a good job and stay out their way. But throughout the time there I heard her constantly yelling and micromanaging those 2 guys around. This is how you dumb people down. No surprise that the food came out terrible. The pita bread and hummus were cold as if taken out from the fridge and put on the plate, not even room temperature. The hummus was sour, dont know if it had lot of lime or was just sour. The chicken and rice was so less in quantity. The fries were uncooked. Even the sandwich was so tiny with such less chicken. Even a McDonalds sandwich is bigger in size and this was 13 something dollars. I have been to Gaters many times but writing this review as this place is not the same anymore and the quality has gone severely down. Really sad to see this happen but I guess I won't be going to them anymore. read more

An Underrated, hole in the wall local restaurant! I love establishments like this because it feels like you're family here. The workers & owners are so nice and considerate, and you never have to wait long for your meal. What I got: Combo plate, small. All the dishes are the same size, the only thing different is the amount of protein you get! It comes with one pita bread and a salad. Honestly perfect to be full! read more

Gaters Restaurant - Small Combination Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

First time trying food from here. We had the gyros, chicken and lamb, and loved it. We also had the garlic sauce with it and was so good and so filling! Staff was friendly and they were helpful with our questions. Can't wait to go back. read more

Tried this place for the first time because of good reviews unfortunately I did not get the food I was expecting based on the reviews and photos I saw in Yelp. Service=1 star: the two guys are friendly but lacking customer service skills. Very long wait for 1 order of a kabob plate (only 1 customer is being served in front of me but it took them at least 30 mins to complete my order). Food=1 star: the star is for the hummus side in my order. The veggies side is bland. The most disappointing of all is the meat in the combo kabob plate ~ it all all burnt! I did not open the box until I got back in the office, I was so disappointed to see the burnt meat ~ chicken, beef/lamb (not sure), and the ground meat. I ended up tossing most of the food in the box. Not worth paying $15.99 for it. I am definitely not going back to this place. I will try their branch in Newpark Mall though and see if the food and service is better than the one in Mowry. read more

Gaters Restaurant - Combo Kabob Plate - burnt - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

The quality and flavor of the chicken and beef sure has changed. We used to come here all the time when the crazy lady worked here but she ran a tight ship. Now it's not the same. $50 for 2 mediocre salads. I'm ok I'll just make it at home next time read more

The food at this place seems to have deteriorated ! We ordered last night through yelp/grubhub. When we reached to pick up the food the order had not even gone through. We thought no worries atleast we know the food will be fresh n hot since they would prepare it then. However the food was highly disappointing. We ordered the following Garlic chicken wraps... hardly any flavor Falafel.plate. average at best. Falafel was bland Hummus had no flavor... Seasoned fries - no seasoning other than salt and undercooked Chicken sides- again no flavor The portions sizes r potential the only thing that hasn't changed. All the food seemed to lack flavor nor seem fresh / hot ( especially since I know for sure the order wasn't lying around to be picked. ) read more

This place has been around, but definitely not the same owners the whole time. I remember it being good the initial years (10+ years ago ). Then it slipped a bit (5 years ago), looking a bit sketchier with the service personnel always trying to haggle a deal, much like at a used car lot. Forward to present and it seems to have balanced out, with service people that are straight forward, okay food at decent prices. They definitely have a following as there are always young peeps either in line to order or sitting in their very cramped quarters. Been in a couple of times as of late to refresh my memory and here are some finds. Combo Kabob Plate ($13ish/3.5*) I chose their chicken kabob and the kofte kabob. Decent amount of food, no complaints there, plenty of meat, a bit of rice (probably basmati) and some chopped raw veggies that constitute as a salad. The chicken kabob was weird. It wasn't chunked in uniform pieces but rather weird strips. So it was kind of dry. It was also bright red/orange just like tandoori chicken. Tasted ok, but with the slew of afghan/Mediterranean places out here, there are tons that are better. The kofte was pretty good however. 2 patties of beef/lamb seasoned and griddled to dark brown. Real close if not identical to Afghan Chapli Kabobs. Super garlic-y though. A bit much for me, but a garlic lover would swoon for this. Another visit tried their "Steak" Wrap ($13ish w/soda//3*) And this is where I find many Mediterranean places to be a bit sketchy. It was straight from the "gyro" loaf, but just sliced a bit thicker, so it did have more of a "steak-y" texture. BUT it wasn't steak. There's also a "Gyro" part of the menu, which I deliberately didn't choose. The steak wrap was in another section, which I assumed was going to be different. To their credit, the meat was juicy as heck, even though it was technically "meatloaf". But this meatloaf unfortunately was very, very salty. Which is why I normally steer away from it. And I'm not a health nut that counts my milligrams of sodium. I halved my wrap and could only eat half. It was that salty. I did love the fact that they used legit lavash bread. So I dunno, may try something else. But with so many other options in the area, pretty much having the same food, just done better, it may be hard. read more

Gaters Restaurant - 'Steak' wrap - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

I ordered over Grubhub and decided to set it for 10:40 3/11 pickup after my haircut in the same shopping center. Dropped by at 10:45. Told the guy it was a pickup order for David. After opening at work. I noticed it was someone's else order. I was so disappointed. read more

I really wouldn't want to sit and eat here but i love it for pick up. The staff is nice but you can tell they work hard, it's all business and no time for pleasantries. I usually call ahead for pick up. I find the quality consistent. The only thing I found inconsistent is the size of the French fries. Sometimes it's a lot and sometimes it's a little, it can also be overly salty. Speaking of the french fries they can be a little limp sometimes. Overall the qualities of the Gyros and the bread is pretty good. Keeping in mind what this place is over comparisons of other places it's more than 3 stars it's 4 stars. One thing for sure, it fulfills a need and it doesn't without any downside. The dolmas are good. This place has been in business 22 years. read more

Ordered from their ghost kitchen, The Salad Snob, and received the delivery via ubereats. The packaging of the food was left undesired but the food surpisingly was very good. Would recommend. read more

Their gyros are great ! Love em. Good carbs, calories and protein. If you're looking for good gyros, this is it ! lol

I have been going to Gater's for years and due to COVID Stopped, unfortunately today I went there and the quality of food is awful and very expensive. I ordered a large veggie plate and a large combo and one soda total about $45. When I got home the veggie plate was so small and without pita bread and the additional plate was also a very small portion. Quality of food is flavorless, I had to add salt and my own dressing to be able to eat it. read more

Gaters Restaurant - Tiny $16.99 veggie plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

Beware - I just ordered through Grubhub/Yelp and then went to pickup the food. Gaters was closed. No one answered the phone, the lights were off. They were supposed to be open until 10p, Grubhub charged me and sent confirmation. I had to spend 20 minutes on the phone with Grubhub to try to get a refund and they said it's going to take 3-5 days to process it. And also, nothing at all offered for the trouble, just stranded and hungry at now 9pm on a Sunday night. Of course we're all trying to support local restaurants right now, but when things like this happen you're making it pretty hard. Last time I'll ever order from Grubhub/Yelp. read more

What a gem! After my workout w/ Basho, I had a hankering for some protein and carbs. I checked my nearest bookmarks and knew in my heart that I had to come here. I worked on shoulders and did HIIT so the carbs was definitely needed (and justified). A super small restaurant, unpleasant setting but the service and clientele was purely awesome. It seemed like everyone knew each other. They all can tell I was new to the restaurant but that did not stop anybody from being friendly and welcoming to us. I ordered the combination plate (I love lamb) and I ordered Gavin a chicken plate. Had I took the time to read the reviews, I would have ordered the gyro because it was hella raved on their reviews. The order took about 10 minutes. I was starving. Gavin was hungry, too. I got out of the gym a little past 7PM so we were seriously overdue for dinner. I was excited and super anxious to dig in. Once our tray arrived at our table, I wanted to inhale everything including Gavin's plate. I stopped then realized that I needed to make sure he knows what is what before I touched my entree. From the salad, pita, hummus, and choice of protein... I made him eat all that he could before I gave him some water. My parents were very strict when I was kid; I couldn't have water until my dinner was done. Anyway. Gavin's chicken was flavorful but a tad dry, the hummus was creamy and thick, and the salad was fresh. My combination plate was pure perfection. The lamb was a little dry (just a little) but it was bursting w/ flavor. The rice wasn't fluffy but it was cooked al dente like it should be. Best part was the service and clientele. I'll order the gyro next time.. *love* read more

Always a solid stop for Gyros! Everything is fresh and super consistent. We've enjoyed this spot for years.

A hole-in-the-wall Mediterranean joint . Love their delicious gyros. I have a mind to try their kebabs but always end up ordering their gyros. The lamb or steak gyro is my favorite. They are open really late till midnight. Plenty of parking especially if you park on Capitol Ave. It is small so not an ideal place to sit and eat but great for takeout. read more

I've been to Gaters quite a few times now and I really do like their food selections & their prices. When you order a gyro from them, they really do stuff it with a lot of meat inside. At only $5.99 for their gyros as of 2015, makes it a very nice bargain. I especially like the option that you can pay with a credit card without any additional fees. A lot of these mom & pop restaurants usually only accept cash or forces you to pay a surcharge when you use a credit card. Not here! I've also ordered their combo meals (which comes with fries) and their platters before too (which comes with rice, a side salad & a pita bread). The fries are decent in their combos and I do enjoy the additional side items that comes with the platters; but they were on the smaller portions. Overall, I really do like the variety of different items you can purchase at Gaters and their prices are fair. read more

Gaters Restaurant - Their menu as of November 18th, 2014. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

EHHH. I feel like this place is kind of family-owned in that they can change the rules of the game (ie: exceptions of Groupon, substituting items if they ran out..) but then also professional/established enough to be a chain. Came here with one other around 3 PM for a late lunch. The place was blasting music, and the menu options were extensive! We ordered: -1 order of combination grilled plate with chicken and lamb, extra meat // They ran out of basmati rice, so they just gave us extra salad. Salad was also really mediocre. Just rated like diced up cucumbers, onions and tomatoes in sauce. -1 order of chicken wrap // not bad but just the wrap to meat ratio is too small. Also, the vegetables were not enough! -1 hummus with pita bread // Yum! You can definitely taste the freshness of the hummus. I didn't like the pita bread though..it's like the pita pocket sandwiches but cut in half. Not even warmed or anything! Pros: -Quick service. -Good menu options. Cons: -Why is everything so chopped up?!?! It's giving you the illusion you have a lot of meat, but in reality I was just eating the ends/leftovers of chicken...felt like I was eating crumbs. Tips/Observations: -Check-in on Yelp if you were to order more than $15 worth of food! You get the free hummus. -$3 for extra meat! Supposedly 50% more. -No tip needed for dining in or to-go! (They don't even give you the option.) -Parking is spacious, since its in a big plaza with Sprouts, Jamba, Noah's Bagel, Starbucks, etcetera. -Soda is $1.25! After you order it, you just grab it from the fridge yourself. Overall, not sure if I want to come here again for a while unless I was in desperate need of Middle Eastern food. read more

If you thoroughly enjoy excellent Greek food, this is your place. The folks that work here are always friendly, and the food comes out fast! I've always enjoyed their falafel, it is delicious. Tonight, my husband tried the chicken shawarma gyro and he said it was perfect. Again, if you're looking for the best Greek food in Fremont, it's right here at Gaters! read more

ABSOLUTELY BS. I keep trying to give this place a chance and every time they eff it up. Asked my bro to pick up food for me since he was in the area. Ordered a lamb wrap $8, extra meat which says $3. I wanted the combo wrap that comes with fries and that is $11 and a baba ghanouj $5. Not only was half my order missing- i got no fries nor baba ghanouj, they had the audacity to charge me $17. Are you freaking kidding me???? I called them and they not only refused to refund me but they said the extra meat was $6. If they said the meat was that expensive from the get go...why would I get it? I am essentially paying for 2 wraps which I did not get....on top of that..for whatever reason...the tax amount seems too high too for whatever they told me. I have no receipt since my bro didn't get one...regardless they were extremely unhelpful and sketchy. Quality and quantity has decreased and management is absolutely poor. This was seriously my last straw. First time was a potential credit card copying and withdrawing money, 2nd time was a skewer stick, and now this??? Not the first time money was a problem here. Just go to the one inside newpark mall -it's safer, tastes better, and not sketchy[yet]. read more

My gf and I decided to stop by after spending time at a friend's place. We were craving for some Middle Eastern food. I decided to Yelp like always and found a great place nearby. The place was pretty small, so many people just ordered take-out instead. We decided to just eat there since it was not crowded. I ordered the gyro place and my gf got the steak plate. She add some mild spice on hers and for me none. The gyro plate included rice, pita bread, steak, and some veggies. I thought it was okay and wished I added spice for more flavor. Next time I will order the steak wraps and some other stuff on the menu. The lady at the cashier was very nice and she asked how we knew about this place and of course I said Yelp! I let her know we will definitely come back next time when we are in town. read more

This place is amazing!!! At first, when I called them to make a reservation, the owner made sure I get a seat by the time me & my friend got there. (As this place is really a "to go" sort of place.) This place is really small & has only maybe about 5 tables inside, 2 or 3 tables outside. I say, "so what?" When I got there, I told the owner who I was, and she made sure I got a seat as soon as a table of 4 was available, (as I was about half an hour earlier the time I told them I'll be there.) Man, is the owner amazing. She's like superwoman! She's like doing 1 billion things at once. Even though it was packed around that time (7ish) she helped every single customer to the fullest & made sure we all knew about the combo specials. Which, my friends & I had. The combo I had came with 2 kabobs; (1 lamb, 1 chicken.) It also came with basmati rice, hummus, pita bread & mediterranean salad w/ cucumbers, & tomatoes. (YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!) (It also comes with onions, but I asked not to put that in my plate.) One of the cooks was so nice, he gave me 4 pastries, an extra side of hummus & pita bread for FREE!! This place is definitely somewhere to go if you're picking up to go, and it gets really packed. Very popular. They also have Groupon & Yelp deals. Definitely a place to go to if you feel like Mediterranean food. MUST GO! read more

I used to come here all the time in 2017, the food is just as good! The friendly staff make the experience so much better, they always hook it up with portions. I ordered a spicy chicken wrap and it came LOADED! Definitely my go to spot when i'm in the area. read more

Absolutely delicious!! I came in around 2pm in the afternoon to order a combo plate. I asked for it to be spicy and ordered for extra topping of mushrooms. Honestly mouthwatering good. The chicken and gyro meat are tender and juicy and the rice was cooked to perfection. The white sauce was one of my favs and everything hit the spot. Especially with a head cold in this rainy weather, the full and satisfying meal made me feel ten times better. On a side note, the people who work there are super chill and helpful. The guy behind the counter was really nice and served me an awesome meal. Will definitely be coming back :) read more
