Maha is a great person with a up lifting personality, and treats everyone like family, the food is inexpensive, packed full of flavor. Definitely coming back and bringing others and specifically recommend the spicy chicken wrap. PS. When I asked her name she was like "Maha you know like Yahmaha without the Yah" read more

Gaters Restaurant - Execellent service, Maha like yamaha, but no Ya. takes care of first timers, she's vary lively and welcomes you like family. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

I just realized that I have never written a review for this place. I get to-go from here at least once a week. Love the combination plate. The wraps are good but almost a quarter of it goes waste as the ends have no fillings. The kitchen staff is good ( actually they are both the kitchen and wait staff- and sometimes manage the cash register too) Got few complaints- 1. The lady at the counter ( think the owner) is extremely pushy. She hardly lets you talk. Pretty annoying 2. They need to work on cleanliness. Sometimes the work area is very dirty- especially the floors that are almost always greased and yellowish. They need professional cleaning once in a while ( ps: the staff does a good job of cleaning the kitchen area and that's the only reason I keep coming back. But it's high time the cleanliness spreads to the whole establishment. 3. They charge like a proper restaurant yet serve in paper plates. Also same rates for lunch and dinner is not cool Being lenient with the ratings here as I love the food. But if management does nothing to address the issues the next review will show the appropriate ratings read more

Gaters Restaurant - Great food buy unclean surroundings. Need to focus more on cleanliness - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

My Groupon was expiring so we decided to come here to grab food to go for dinner. The place is super small and that day extremely hot! It was kind of nasty too the cashier was sweating balls and had no hair net or anything...he was running back and forth between their "kitchen" and the cash register so who knows if he was handling the food. I tried not to think too much about it. He seemed very stressed out and rushed us through our order. I warned him of my food allergies to dairy but I didn't leave too confident that he had noted it to the chefs. Once we got home, we noticed that we were missing the Fries that came with the Gyro that we paid extra for. Instead they gave us a huge box of their "Greek Salad" which was basically lettuce and some typical salad veggies. We could barely taste their lemon vinaigrette dressing so the salad was pretty dry. I ordered the Beef Combo which came with rice, hummus, pita bread and their Greek salad. The beef and rice were both way too salty and I just didn't bother to finish the other half of it. I would have to say their best thing off the menu we ordered were the Dolmas. Sooo good compared to everything else. I should've gotten another order because one order just came with 3 pieces. I probably won't be getting another Groupon for this place, but if I knew better, I would've just used up the entire Groupon on all Dolmas lol. read more

The food here has been pretty good and consistent the last few times that I went. I ordered the combo plate for this most recent visit (on Tuesday) and it was really good! I docked a star off because the place could use a bit of cleaning up and they certainly could clean the tables as most were sticky with leftover food from previous patrons who dined there. Overall, I would be back to dine again. read more

Quality of the food was good. Ordered the vegetarian gyro which came with falafel and grilled veggies (lots of mushrooms) on it. Service was okay. I waited over 5 minutes just to be acknowledged which was annoying. Also all of their menus were stuck together like they had been soaked in water and then just dried up (kinda weird). Other than that it was a good experience and I'd definitely be back for a quick bite to eat. read more

Some of the best gyro in town! Service is fantastic and of it isn't the food that keeps you coming back, it's the hospitality. Give this place a try and see for yourself. Favorite go-to dish: Gyro platter read more

Sadly my levels of rating is going down all because of the lady who owns it. Me and a friend went to order food and asked for a side of hummus......once we got back home it was clearly the yogurt sauce.......went back and she argued that it was indeed hummus. Either way, whether it was hummus....it was poorly made.....If it was yogurt sauce....that was a scam. This lady does the most and is too pushy and argumentative, I refuse to eat here again because of her. read more

Ambiance Gaters is the definition of a hole in the wall type of shop. Not a ton of seating and it's very tight where one can see them making the food. It's definitely made more for carry out orders. Do not expect to be wowed by having good seats and a lavish place to eat. Food Very good quality food overall. My favorite is the chicken garlic gyro. The fries are very good and they put a decent amount of salt. Definitely make sure to get some of their sauce for the gyro. It's super tasty and goes really well. Service I've ordered in person, on Yelp, and over the phone. They have taken my order and given me the food ready to go. Overall, very good service. read more

Best Gyros i've ever had with out a doubt! I'm basing my review solely on the food because i always do take out from here. It is definitely a hole in the wall but the food is amazing. I got the chicken gyro and was mind blown. I wanted a second round even though i was super full. (don't worry i didn't go for round two, but i def considered it) I ordered, and with in five minutes the food was ready. I have zero complaints about this place, and the lady at the cashier was really nice as well. :) read more

The food here has no taste the chicken is bland, lacks any flavor and they barely put anything. Twice I've gotten food from here and got really bad diarrhea. Also the manager seems to be writing reviews about his place trying to make it look good. Fadi how about you do something about the food first. read more

My go to gyro place! I love this hole in the wall, they use fresh meat and shave it strait off the kebab before sautéing. Made to order every time so you know it's fresh. Very good sauce and pita bread as well! Best gyros I've had around my area hands down! read more

We got takeout about a month ago. The food was really good. We had a chicken gyros and a chicken kabob. Loved the extra sauce they gave us. They were efficient and friendly. read more

Been going here since they opened. Must've changed owners countless times, but now there is stability. The owner, however, is very pushy and tries to up sell items all the time. The owner is also kinda rude to her employees. I still enjoy the food, but i find myself going here less simply because of ownership, not food quality. Combo salad or a chicken garlic wrap, however, is the move. read more

I ordered the large combo platter but for $16+ it didn't seem like it was worth the money spent. I have eaten here before and had a great experience with their food, but this time it was very underwhelming. The meats themselves were ok (albeit there was WAY more chrome than there was steak) but what really threw me off was the rice that came with the platter. The rice was really mushy when I took a bite of it and had a bit of a slimy texture as I was chewing. When I smelled the rice, the rice smelled like it had gone bad. It has a very sour and funky smell to it. It was very unpleasant as all the meats were thrown on the rice. It was honestly a big waste of money and I really did put this restaurant on a high pedestal for Mediterranean food. read more

I sometimes just crave good old Meditarranean food. Kebab, gyros, baba ganoush... yum! This place has it and I come by sporadically when I am in the area. They never disappoint. The food is fresh and you get it fast. And the place is always busy. Since it is practically a hole in the wall, ambience is non-existent and the seating is very cramped, but you don't hang around for a long time. They also have a few seats outside, so when it is sunny, it's a nice spot to sit there. So why do I only give three points? They are not very big on customer service. Offer you to "try" a new product and tell them what you think of it and then it ends up on the bill. Also, last time, the husband asked for a cup of water and was told, they would not give out water anymore because of the drought (WTF?), but he could buy bottled water from them. Really? Bit on the pricey side ($30 for two lunches), but food is good and I am happy to pay for quality. read more

+$3 more for medium combo plate, $6 more for large. He does this EVERY TIME I order multiples with different sizes: oh I upgraded everything to Large! He'll say. The first couple of times I fell for it, until I started ordering only mediums, then realized it's the SAME. nice trick to get me tipping more. Anyway- combination plate is our go to. Can't go wrong with taste. Order no larger than MEDIUM and skip their fries. Nice people. read more

Amazing and tasty food, definitely one of the best spots to get food at in Fremont! Love coming here all the time!

This is a small but decent restaurant with items like hummus, gyro, kabobs, etc. It definitely feels homey and I don't recommend bringing in a large party since there's very limited space. I thought my gyro rice platter was good. The meat was flavorful and slightly crispy. The meat went well with the tzatiki sauce on the side. The yellow rice was good as well. I was less of a fan of the salad because it had a ridiculous number of chopped peppers and I don't like chopped peppers. The hummus was okay. I didn't like the pita that came with it. It was probably storebought and very thin and dry. I would have preferred the fresh fluffy kind. read more

This is just the quintessential hole in the wall restaurant. Small, family owned, superb food. I went with three work colleagues after work to eat. Thought it was a normal sized restaurant, but found out not. Unless you are a hobbit, it's cramped. The line to order takes most of the space. Perhaps two tables for two and one for three. Perfect for us. This is generally just a take out joint. I had a wonderful lamb gyro. Perfectly cooked and long baked on one of those rotisserie things only true Mediterranean meats are cooked on. The fries I got were well cooked as well. Definitely coming back. read more

I went here for years when i lived in Fremont. The best chicken kabobs, chicken shawarma. The baba ganough was the best i ever had. I went a couple of days ago, i havent gone in months since I moved. The food was soo dry. The chicken was dry, the rice was old. It tasted like the food had been sitting there for days. Ill give them another chance since Ive been going to this establishment for years. Maybe it was a one off... read more

Came here with the boy because I'd never had a gyro before, and every time we pass by Gaters, the smell always makes me stop in my tracks. We ordered the lamb gyro combo and sat down [we weren't too hungry so we were splitting one gyro]. And... it was really really good. The lamb wasn't dry at all [and I'm not even a huge fan of lamb] and the flavors really balanced out. I wasn't a huge fan of the yogurt sauce [it tasted like sour cream.. and I really really dislike sour cream], but I couldn't stop myself from eating. The pita was so delicious; I think I could probably eat that alone :x Probably coming back next time I'm in the area (: read more

Gaters Restaurant - Lamb gyro + Fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

Their food is ok. But I ordered the kids burgers. but Spicy burgers???!!!!!! Really?! This is unheard of. This place is a disgrace to Mediterranean and Arabic food.The workers are so unprofessional and their customer service is the worst! I called to let them know about the food and taste and how unhappy I was. They argued and claimed that their food is not spicy. Since when do u argue and tell your customers NO UR WRONG! After I told Ravi that's not how you handle complaints and these are solutions you should give ur clients ( gave him examples) , he finally said would u like me to make you something else? Forget this place! No I do not recommend! And no I don't want to drive and pick up something else. Grilled cheese sandwiches did it for the kids . read more

Gaters Restaurant - Feet.. hope he's not touching them and making food - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

There is very little indoor seating (only two tables with four chairs that were taken) so my girlfriends and I had to resort to outdoor seating. -steak gyro: really juicy with warm pita bread but missing white sauce -chicken and lamb Schwann combination plate: chicken and lamb were too dry and lacked flavor -lamb wrap: lamb was already dry but wrap made it even more dry since there was no sauce to balance it -French fries: Nothing special about typical frozen packed fries -pistachio dessert: dipped in pure sugar which made it too sweet, so couldn't really taste the pistachio itself. ***All of us specifically asked for no onions but all the items came with onions. When we told the cook, he rolled his eyes and glared at us. Not coming back. read more

Very small family-run joint located next to the PetSmart and Aniki's Sushi on Mowry. A few tables inside, but taking your food to go is probably a better idea. The combination plate with chicken and lamb shawarma is served with rice and salad, with a generous portion of meat, sliced from the the rotisserie and then grilled to heat and for that char. Efficient service. read more

Would give 0 star if i could. I usually get the burger over here but today i had a cafeteria burger patty instead. I ordered a double cheese burger with Garlic fries thru grubhub and when i came to pick up, garlic fries was missing. I told the lady in the cashier and she gave an attitude right away. From then on, i keep checking my order. I realized my burger was missing cheese plus the patty isnt the same. I told the lady again and she yelled "WE DONT HAVE ANY CHEESE!" As she proceed to my fries, i saw that she was just about to give me a regular fries so then i called her out again, i said i ordered a garlic fries. She rolled her eyes and walked away to fix the problem. Would not recommend to anyone anymore. read more

Great chicken and so-so gyro. Probably won't be returning to this particular place, as there is many more Med places in town. read more

Gaters Restaurant - Best place to go for a break time - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

Solid Mediterranean place with good cheap and reasonable prices with an odd name. They sound more like sports bar than a tiny Mediterranean restaurant. Gaters is more a takeout place than a sit-down restaurant. They have tables for around 10 people. The food was very good across the board. Everything we had from the Gyros to the combination plate to the appetizers were very good. It was funny to see this one guy who ordered takeout who was trying to get as much free tzatziki sauce as he could from them. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have the best wraps and garlic sauce in Fremont, as well as the nicest people! The owner knows me as the garlic girl as I'm always getting a chicken garlic wrap I'm always craving with their well seasoned garlic fries. They're always happy to make it how I like it, and the portions are large and very well priced. Will always come here. read more

Gaters Restaurant - This is how much they give you for 5$ - Middle Eastern Near Me - Fremont, California

Great food and very delicious.Super customer service. Moderate prices. I recommend visiting the place.

This should be a zero star. This has to be the worst service I have ever seen in my life. We went in, ordered food and sat at the table by the door. There was a fan on the wall right above our table, and after we sat we noticed something weird. It was the dirt and grease falling on us and our table from the fan. Disgusting! It gets more disturbing, when we complained about it to the person working there responded saying "the grease is actually from the oily food, it isn't dirt". Wait, what? Who in their right mind would say that ? The guy working there appeared to be Indian (not that the race should matter at all) but just in case if you ever run in to him again. Rude and insulting. Not going to this place ever again...AVOID at all costs! read more

Sad to say that the food is great but it doesn't look like a clean or sanitary place to dine anymore. Why does it always need to be those type of restaurants that have the best food?!! Whoever passed them with an A needs to go back and be trained to do there job correctly. After my last experience I'm not sure if I will go back. An older gentleman working there dropped some of the salad onto a To go container and picked it up with his bare hand and place it in another container for whomever placed a phone order. I was praying all that time he wouldn't be the one touching my food after seeing him touch his mask, pull a napkin out of his pocket to wipe his face, and touching his cell phone...not attempting to wash his hands! They need to wear gloves and sterilize everything in there. They need a truthful A. read more

I come here for the tasty rice plates and occasionally, the gyros. Mikolo is right about the fries, they are nothing to get excited about. Gaters is conveniently located near the Fremont Hub, and a great place to come if you're short-ish on time and don't want to settle for fast food. Additionally, the staff is friendly, especially if you come bearing XX chromosomes. When I go with my boyfriend, they call him "Boss", which highly amuses me. read more

Quickie for kababs? Come here...I ordered the veggie plate, and it had a ton of food, though I'm not a huge fan of dolmas..the falafel was ok..i still like Falafel Drive Inn..and I think Falafel Inc may be slightly better? The baba Bhannouj is really good..along with the yogurt. I find the mediterranean salad to be ok..it's just romaine with tomato and olives really..I would recommend you getting the gyro or one of the meat plate. I tasted the combo plate with the steak and ckn and it was good. Why? Well besides the fact it's roasting away in front of your eyes and they warm up the pita, etc..it's pretty good.. The veggie plate is all premade so it's cold and not so great. The price isn't bad, it's really one of those one stop shops and i'f youre in a hurry, you can come by. Would I come back? I think so, this place isn't OMG good, but it's ok if you want a quickie.. read more

5 Stars because my tummy is so happy. 5 stars because I'm a simple person and the combo platter blew me away. Thats pretty much it. I was originally craving a falafel, but went with the suggested combo platter. It was a large serving that I honestly thought I would have leftovers for tomorrow. I ate the whole meal in a matter of minutes. And I'm already yelping about it. lol. That never happens. The guys were friendly and sweet. The place is small and more of a take out place. There are a few tables and chairs outside. I'll be back for more yummy food... read more
