    Gyro Sandwich
    Lindsey C.

    This is one of our favorite pit stops on our walk to Hellbent brewing! Their gyro sandwiches are fantastic. I have also tried their shawarma and chicken sandwich and it was equally as good. The food always is ready very quick and they are very friendly/helpful!

    Excited to see what the hype is about!

    So happy I found this gem. Super easy to find. The owner was very friendly & welcoming when my friend & I walked in. Growing up in Germany, gyros was always one of my fav dishes! I can't tell you how this lamb gyro made me feel lmao it was the best I have had since moving to the states, their tzatziki sauce is probably the best I have ever had! The restaurant was a little small, very clean kept. The food was just amazing! I definitely recommend.

    Lamb
    Volha A.

    First time ordering from here even though I live 1 minute away! Thought I'd try it based on the great reviews. Got Lamb Shawarma, the spices and the overall presentation was good, but the portion is WAY too small for an $11 entree. Also, the lamb was pretty tough and dry, and I'm not usually the one to complain and having to chew meat. Could use more salt or savory sauce too. Overall, a nice clean whole-in-the wall spot, just not as fabulous it is hyped to be. The owner and other workers are very nice and friendly, so I hate to leave it 3 stars, but I'm basing it by the food only. Probably won't be back again, the Aladdin in U-District was way better from what I can remember.

    Falafel sandwich in the making
    Shantala A.

    This tiny lil joint is great for food to go. Prices are very reasonable and the food is fresh and awesome. I stopped by to take out a falafel sandwich. The sandwich came with three Falafels that were fried fresh right in front of us. I asked for it to be spicy and they added some green chili paste. The stuffing included the usual fatoush salad and tahini sauce and some spices. One complaint though - the girl at the counter wrapped the sandwich in a paper first and then the whole thing in a foil. While it is a great option to prevent the sauces from leaking, when I opened it after a couple of hours, the paper was soggy and had stuck to the sandwich and was a pain to unwrap. Make sure to ask for just the foil, when you order. On the whole, the falafel was excellent and I will stop by whenever I pass by.

    Food 2/5 Service 4/5 Location / access / 2/5 Value 2/5 I still have yet to find a place that makes a better gyro sandwich and better greek fries than Taki's Mad Greek. We have tried nearly all Gyro places north of the cut, and nobody comes close to quality, price, and service. Having said that LCG is not abysmal or inedible. The interior is really small and not that nice. I normally don't nit pick on interior, but honestly it could be spruced up a tiny minimal amount - walking in there doesn't whet your appetite. Food itself is fairly average. Owner is nice and friendly and seems committed to serving customers though. Do I go back? Probably not. Better off going to Taki's. If Taki's is too far, then delivery via UberEats is an option. We have delivered from them several times and food still comes in warm and fries crispy. It works.

    Reviews are spot on! 1. Service is Amazingly Friendly. 2. Food is Tender and Plentiful. 3. Reasonably Priced 4. Sample your Meat as you Wait. 5. Many Options to Choose from. My Fiancé and I tried the Combination Kabob Entree and a Lamb & Beef Gyro "Wrap". The Lamb Kabob and Gyro were my favorite! Tender, Juicy and Flavorful! I wasn't a fan of the chicken kabob. It was little too dry for me but so far, Lake City Gyro is my top choice when I am craving Greek. TIP: Keep in mind, it is a very small restaurant with limited seating and street parking. I'd recommend ordering take out, eating curb side or with a small group.

    The best Baklava ever.

    I have just recently moved to Seattle, and knowing those small but fantastic spots to eat have been harder then I would have thought. So I always like small spots like Lake City Gyro's. This restaurant is realllly good the only and I mean only thing that is negative about this place (also why they didn't get a 5 star rating from me) is that all their wraps are really dry. Meaning...they give a lot of meat in the wraps and without the extra side that I have come to realize MUST be added, I don't like to eat the wrap I end up picking it apart because it needs sauce :( Problem solved with an extra side of their awesome hummus. However if you have read this, and you are going there follow my advice and your in for a cheap but fantastic meal. ORDER THIS: Falafel wrap. EXTRA SIDE OF HUMMUS. Now read carefully this part is important, debating if I should even tell you this part....okay I will ***MUST TRY BAKLAVA***** that part is serious. I go in there for just them. I'm seriously addicted to these!!!! Their amazing seriously the best dessert I've had in ages. You can thank me later

    Shawarma Plate, Gyro and Greek fries!
    Jennifer K.

    I had been talking about gyros for days we was finally able to get my craving satisfied at Lake City Gyro. We were looking for a spot close to home and came across Lake City Gyro, which was close enough. This is such a hole in the wall place and definitely something to give a try if you're looking for shawarma or gyros. Upon entering we were the only one in the shop and we were greeted immediately and ordered a few items to share. We went with a gyro (sandwich version), greek fries and a shawarma plate. During our time here we should a few people come in and order to go, looks like a spot that is very popular with the locals who want a bite to go. Our favorites were the greek fries and the shawarma but the gyro could give other places a run for their money as well. Everything was so yummy and definitely satisfied my craving!

    Gyro $6.49 plus tax = $7.14! Excellent!

Highly recommend the three dip (current seasons is beet and it's my fav) with the flat bread. The flat bread comes out steaming. Trumpet mushroom is Smokey and juicy.

    We arrived on a Friday night at roughly 7:30 and there was already quite a wait. For a table for 3,…read morewe were told we'd have to wait for about 2.5 hours which we honestly were not thrilled to do. However after we expressed that we didn't want to wait that long, we were told that if we wanted outdoor seating they could actually seat us in less than half an hour. We chose the outdoor seating option and took a quick stroll in the quiet neighborhood before coming back. Our server told us that Homer's plates are meant to be family style and shared so their general recommendation is 1 large plate or 2 small plates per person. For us, we ordered the Set of top 3 spreads, lamb ragu on tahini and we were served with 5 pieces of warm pita. We also ordered Grilled Pork with Stinging nettles, raw albacore tuna with taramasalata, and smoked and shaved kohlrabi. Our server warned us that the pork was going to be on the fatty side but we were still surprised by how fatty it was. The spreads for the pita were amazing as usual-- their seasonal flavors taste amazingly fresh. Our table wanted to order more pita and when someone came by to take the empty plate they asked if we wanted more which we did let them know but even by the time we finished all the plates, we never got the additional pita so we just took it off. The Kohlrabi was an amazingly refreshing palette cleanser before the pork-- super light and refreshing. After we finished our meal we grabbed some soft serve from the window and wow, for 7$ it's quite a lot of ice cream! The flavors that were offered when we were there was Dark Chocolate and Kettlekorn. I sampled the swirl and the fusion of the saltiness of the kettle korn, the slight bitter and sweetness of the dark chocolate was immaculate. Final thoughts: very cool experience, inside I could see the open kitchen and the stone wood fired oven and the ingredients tasted amazing. However it is a little inconvenient that it's walk in unless you're a party of 6 since the lines and wait can get incredibly long. It's also difficult to find parking in the area. Very neat experience!

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!

Service was friendly and patient as we tried to make decisions and asked questions. I have a friend that kind handle chile spice due to medical condition they were very accommodating when it was needed by having certain sauces on the side.

Baba Ghanouj, Bisara Munir, Arnabeet, Alhalaioun and the chicken and beef Shish Taouk. Everything was delicious. Flavorful, the proteins were cooked perfectly nice and tender.

We had to have the green chile sauce on the side of the asparagus dish cause of my friend but that was ok we were putting it in other items we loved it so much. Also the whipped garlic that came with the chicken and beef was a big hit! We had never had Lebanese wine and enjoyed our selections. Love that it felt like a healthier meal with the vegetables and spreads. Didn't feel stuffed after but definitely satisfied.

One thing I really loved about the skewer is the sauces that came on the side: one tahini, one garlic, and one tomato. Such delicious sauces! Entrees were a little pricey though. Last but not least my party enjoyed the special Lebanese wine.
