Ordered pick from Gyro First on a Monday night and had a smooth pickup experience. Got the chicken shawarma sandwich and hummus and pita bread. The chicken shawarma sandwich was spot on. Just what I needed. Was dissappinted with the hummus and pita bread order though, because there was not a great ratio of pita to hummus. We had a ton of hummus, which was good, but not enough pita. Would order again if I'm in the neighborhood, but probably stick with the sandwich, maybe try falafel as a side instead of hummus. read more

The food was great. My family got the gyros and fries. Within about 10 minutes our food was ready and delicious. The prices are very reasonable considering the high prices in Seattle. The restaurant is a little small but we came for the food, not the ambiance. If you like gyros, it's worth a stop! read more

Stopped in for some Falafel eats and got my go to Falafel sandwich - garbanzo beans (which isn't often in these sandwiches), cilantro and parsley with spices fried and wrapped with hummus dip onions, green pepper, tahini, tomato, cucumber, and pickles. Just as the description says, this thing is loaded and not bad at $9. There aren't a whole lot of places to eat near my friend's place unless we take the extra few minutes and go to Cap Hill which isn't too much further, but sometimes you good food and under a 10-minute walk. Gyro First is small and not really assuming. Definitely more of a take out spot which was the case for my visit, but there are actually a couple tables inside, but parking isn't great in the area, so if you find yourself here, you'll likely be on foot. read more

Really loved this place! We went here a couple weeks ago and got a big portion mix of chicken / lamb plates with fries, all of which were absolutely delicious. We ordered and got the food relatively quickly (I'd say within 5-10 minutes) which was nice. Staff were friendly as well. One of the better shawarmas I've had in Seattle. I'd come here again for sure! read more

The falafel sandwich was really good! It was super fresh and didn't taste like anything had been sitting around or frozen. I also had the fries which were tasty too. They are a little more on the thick cut side which was a fun change. The service was really speedy and the guy that helped me was kind and helpful. He packaged it well for to go and I was able to eat it and keep it together easily with the wrapping. The store wasn't super busy when I came in but it was clean and had plenty of seating. It looks like someone busted their door so there's a board on the front but they are open if the sign is on! Definitely would go back for more. read more

I failed to take photos, but 12 of us went here for my daughter's birthday last Friday night. The staff were very accommodating and nice! I got the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich, which was fabulous, as well as a side of Falafel and a friend brought a cake and the staff helped us with paper plates, and forks. Such a cute little place and yummy food! No wonder my daughter loves it there. FREE PALESTINE! read more

Absolutely blown away! Hands down the best falafel I've ever had--crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and soft on the inside. We randomly stopped in and I'm so glad we did. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. This place is a hidden gem and exactly what the area needed. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

I love gyros and Mediterranean food and when I went to Seattle for the weekend to watch the Niners/Seachicken game (we won the season opener!!) I searched for Mediterranean restaurants and came across Gyros First, which was also walking distance from my hotel on 4th street. I reviewed the menu ahead of time and decided on the falafels side dish. It was soooooooo good!!!! The dipping sauce was great as well. Eventhough I was already full, I decided to order the baba ghanoush with pita bread. I ate it before I got back to my hotel because it was sooooooo good!!! The pita bread was warm and fluffy and really really good. I promptly returned the next day for lunch and ordered the lamb/beef gyro wrap and it was amazing as well. The seasonings on the meat was really good and juicy and the tahini sauce was great. I returned later that day and ordered 2 pitas so I could finish up my baba ghanoush from the day before. I didn't think I had time after the game to go and buy some food to go on my flight home so I didn't chance it (I couldn't made it but next time!) The food was absolutely amazing and priced well. The gentleman at the register and also making the food was extremely nice. I also got a small discount since I paid in cash as opposed to credit card (the small additional charge is posted on the wall by the cashier). While I waited for my food, there were many people coming in to eat in the restaurant, take to go or ordered ahead of time. I plan on returning to Seattle because I love it here and I'm DEFINITELY returning to Gyros first to try out more of their items. The food was amazing, great service, and very reasonably priced. read more

I got the gyro sandwich and it was so delicious. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. The meat was flavorful and I devoured my sandwich quickly. Friendly owner and fast service! If I'm ever in the area I would def stop by again. read more

The best Mediterranean food I've ever ate the chicken gyro plate was so good chicken was fresh seasoned well a juicy definitely will be back

The food was tasty, but there was no A/C on the hot day we visited. A fan blew in the food service area, but it didn't provide us any comfort in the dining area. It was good food, but we should have taken it back to our air-conditioned hotel room. read more

Wow! While my wife was at Virginia mason I decided to try this random hole in the wall and it was amazing! Some of the best chicken schwarma I've ever had read more

I walked in and wow I love the furniture! Really just absolutely festive! The staff super friendly and supportive and love my feedback! I order falafel sandwich and lentil soup. So let's get into the food then! The falafel sandwich brought me back to my college days. Brown university had a fantastic Greek restaurant on their campus and the flavors at this restaurant really evokes the nostalgia. Absolutely recommended. The lentil soup was good. Strong foundation of flavors that could be bumped up with a little extra salt, pepper, and acid. I had a lemon tea on the side and it was really nice. Overall this place really won me over with the sentimentality of charm. I can be a hard person to impress but you present yourself like this restaurant and I say yes! Please check this restaurant out! Thank you! read more

The food was tasty & fresh. Customer Service was amazing very nice & good energy! Can't wait to come back to try the falafel plate :)

I'm a fan! Great chicken shawarma sandwich that keeps me coming back. Service is always kind and welcoming. Orders are made fresh and can take a bit of a wait but worth it. It's a small place, I usually take it to go, but they have about 5 tables if you're eating in. read more

Good prices. Decent food. Falafel seems like it's a frozen or generic premade. Chicken had very little flavor but the veggies are crisp and fresh and the pickle was an interesting flavor added to the shawarma wrap. read more

I went to Gyro First as I was passing by and decided that I would try the food in the unassuming restaurant. I enjoyed the food much more than I was expecting. The meat was tender and very well seasoned. The rice was also generously served and was equally as good. The food was expensive but satisfying and it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

I ordered from them off of EZcaters, but I just had to write a review here. I needed to get food for an office going away party. I got 10lb trays of their gyro meat, chicken meat, pitas, salad, falafel, rice, & baklava. I ordered a day in advance, which imo is short notice for such a big order. That was my bad on my part, but without a hitch it got delivered right on time today (the next day). Guys- everything, & I mean e v e r y t h i n g was amazing. The rice was so flavorful, so was the meat & chicken (WHICH WAS SO TENDER??), the pitas were WARM & I'm pretty sure were freshly made. The falafel was a hit too, & salad was plentiful with olives, cucumbers, onions, & tomatoes, topped with generous amounts of feta (& i know that feta isn't cheap). The baklava was gone in an instant (someone emailed me telling me that it was "deadly good"). Plenty of tzatziki sauce & even gave a ketchup bottle of garlic sauce? It was more than enough for an office of 50+ people, & we had leftovers that everyone was happy to take home. Oh, also, complementary plates, napkins, utensils, & serving utensils. Best part? The owner himself, the kindest man came & delivered the order himself. He was so sweet & was so appreciative/grateful that we ordered from him. He was one of those people you feel like you've known them for a long time. Definitely good vibes. Everyone (not even exaggerating) at my office kept asking me where I got the food from. TLDR; Fresh & delicious food, great service (support local), & a successful party thanks to Gyro First. Will definitely be back (: read more

Great little Greek restaurant. Amazing for for amazing prices. Gyro sandwiches and plates are so good!

This is my go to lunch spot! Service is fast, they are always so welcoming and friendly, and they have good portion sizes. I recommend the gyro plate: the salad that comes with it is always refreshing, gyro meat is the best I've ever had , warm pitas always good, and the rice is sooo addicting (and i am usually the person who skips rice) . I ordered lunch from here for my coworkers for lunch last week and everyone loved what they got, and even with lots of orders everything was fresh and warm. read more

This place is amazing! I come from a Mediterranean family and this tastes like my mom's cooking. Best falafel I've had in a very long time! Crispy outside. Moist inside. Not that dry crumbly stuff you get most places. The shawarma chicken wrap is amazing too. It's grilled so the outside is just a little crisp. Not traditional, but very good nonetheless. read more

Gyro second, or third. Fourth? When I went to go pick my order up that I had ordered on Uber eats I was met with the coolest guy with the chillest vibe that definitely wasn't confrontational at all or questioning in the slightest. Anyway, after standing for about a minute waiting to collect the food I'd already paid for a small man with all the cologne came flexing out from the kitchen with a "??" Look on his face.. anyway I told the lil guy throw some forks in the bag and we're on our way k papi. No ice read more

Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious food! I liked the falafel dinner, but the hummus and pita was the best I've had in a long time. Warm fluffy tender pita and light savory hummus. Wonderful! The ambiance is a nice balance between clean lines and coziness with white walls and handmade weaving as decorations. read more

If you love authentic Greek food, this is your one stop shop. Don't let the lack of reviews discourage you from checking out this location.

Let me first say the owner is BY FAR one of the nicest and personable people you'll come across. I really hope this place does well, but compared to other gyro restaurants in the area, Gyro First is average. It would help if I could see the gyro being sliced in front of me as the food just didn't taste fresh or super flavorful. Baklava was also somewhat stale and imbalanced. read more
