I was not expecting to have the best gyro of my life here! They have a really good hot sauce at their tables too. Got the lentil soup to go and was also delicious. Will be back. read more

For being open late and having such a gorgeous exterior this place deserves and automatic 5-star. The service is quick, friendly and I always see lovely people here. The location is perfect. I love how this spot combines fast food with Greek cuisine. Very unique and tasty food. I'm a frequent visitor. read more

I love this place is a regular of mine. This evening I wasn't pleased. The delivery driver left my food outside in the cold. Was Grubhub I think. Nothing to do with this restaurant but I recieve a tortilla instead of the bread that usually comes with it. I wouldn't mind but I wasn't informed about this and it cost me $40. A little upsetting but the food is good read more

I came here when seeing a movie at the Castro theater. It is a short walk from the Castro theater and Castro Muni exit. I walked in and was greeted. You order then get a number and pick a table then one of the waitresses bring your food for you. I also got a soda to drink from the fridge. I got the #19 Beef and Lamb plate that comes with a small salad, rice, pita, hummus and tzatziki sauce. The pita and hummus was actually my favorite part. The pita was warm and felt fresh baked and the hummus was really tasty. It had a seasoning on top, I would guess cumin, which gave it an added flavor. The meat was good not great. I added a little table salt for flavor and used the tzatziki on it. The rice was good, it had a few chick peas in it. The salad was the weakest part. It had some chunks of tomato too big and needed something extra. Overall it was a good quick and filling meal. I probably would try other places first if I was in the area again but I would go back it I wanted Mediterranean food. read more

So we all know the best GYROS / Kurdish food ,can be found in the Castro . Did you know they did Catering too? Exactly!! ...: I didn't. Know either. I am having a project done at my house. I wanted to provide lunch for the crew . I called Gyro Express asked what my options were . It was so simple they asked how many people. What foods I had in mind.. then bam this amazing feast for my crew was being served! My crew was so happy! Not only does the food taste great it's ridiculously healthy. So much more healthy than tacos or pizza. Next time you need to feed a large group definitely reach out to Gyro Express. read more

After coming here weekly and ordering a chicken kabab plate, my last visit I received a lamb and beef gyro plate. I don't eat beef so I know I didn't order that. Instead of trying to correct the mistake, the staff decided to get argumentative about it. It looks like a new employee as I've never seen her there before. She even came back to me and asked me if I ordered by phone. I ordered from her directly at the register. I'll probably just not come back as there are plenty of other Mediterranean restaurants in the area. read more

The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. I usually get soup and plates. I would recommend this place for all. read more

Since COVID hit us last year all restaurants were closed so i couldn't try anything New until now and i was so looking forward to this kind of food but the guy wearing all black wasn't very nice to me at first. When i got here was only 2 people here eating and was nice that everything was cooked fresh and hot and they cooked as people ordering and that's great because you know your food is coming hot... So let's get started i actually went here on Yelp see the food and what people had to say about it? Well lots of five stars and few 2 stars and people experiences they had here. The picture i took of the guy who was wearing all black i was asking him questions about the food and told him i have hard time speaking now so i said i took pictures of what i wanted he said ok. He did make some rude comments and got upset because i asked one too many questions was asking is the yogurt & the hummus homemade? He said yes i said can i have a simple i might not like it and don't wanted on my dish he got mad when he gave it to me and some dropped on the table and he put his hand to his face That really pissed me off and told him it was my 1st time 2nd people are going asked questions about your food so don't be rude to them especially to someone who is disabled. I told him can not eat lamb I'm allergic he said the beef and lamb are together so i asked for chicken only just with the rice and the salad no Greek yogurt or hummus. It took 20 minutes and you know it's cooked hot and fresh i also ordered fries for a snack and they were really good had garlic and season spices on them and temperature hot and the food looked good but the 2 thing i didn't like was he said would give me extra rice and pita bread and was none. I would definitely come back but like i said the man in the picture if you are a manager or a owner you really need training on "CUSTOMER SERVICE" So only given 4 starts over all if i had better experience you be getting a 5 star now. Oh when i ordered my fries and was getting a Diet Coke was asking the price because i couldn't see it up on the wall menu so im guessing he felt bad by being RUDE to me earlier so he gave me a FREE Diet coke i was suprised and said thank you. I definitely will come back now that i know the food is good but will get extra Chicken because 2 is not enough on the plate order especially when i have to be Sharing with my cat Tiger lol. Oh they serving Alcohol and desserts here and bottles of sanitizers on the table and have tables outside eating if you don't wanted eat inside. Thanks for Reading my Review ~Lizzie~ :) read more

Ordered what should be a standard for a place like this for delivery. Delivery was fine. A sampler with a side of dolmas and a side of babaganoush. Flavorless, ALL of it. The gluten-free pita tastes like pulled wallpaper from Grandma's old dining room. Dolmas were hard like they had been frozen previously and not well heated. Worse yet, I awoke the next morning with projectile diarrhea. The next time you are due for a colonoscopy, you might want to try this place for the colon cleanse the day before. Good grief. read more

Food is always solid, good, and plentiful! We ordered food and they forgot 2 items. When I called - they had it delivered ASAP and added dessert. The service was great!! read more

I had the traditional Gyro - it was a really good sandwich made authentically on authentic vertical spit. Bread was warmed and fresh. Very good hot sauce and salad fixings (on the sandwich). It's a moist and tasty combination of flavors ! Very well done. read more

Clean space with windows opened for social distancing. Greek Salad with lamb gyro is keto friendly (manager confirmed ) and delicious (5/5) Friend ordered kebab sandwich and gave it 3/5. And they have a clean bathroom open to customers--always a god(dess)send in SF! read more

I went to Gyro express because they were still open when I got around to wanting food. I'll come back because the food was good as was the people watching. I had a Gyro and a coke. The gyro was better than most, Good flavors! Friendly service, open late, a nice combo. read more

This is a great space -- very clean and airy. And one of the first to really take advantage of pleasant outdoor seating during COVID. And a nice restroom that's always spotless. Good size to the portions. I tend to go for the gyros platter but have recently been more drawn to the lamb burger (huge) and the gyros pita sandwich. The seasoned fries are great and the spicy sauce is not kidding about the spiciness. My buddy always get the salad with gyros meat -- he's keto. I haven't been as blown away by the falafel as by the gyros meat, but it's certainly good. So many places have failed to thrive in this space, so part of why I come back again and again is to do research. I never went to the other things (although the Korean BBQ tempted.) read more

Falafel wrap was okay tasting but stone cold. Guess they don't heat the falafel before they assemble the wrap.

I recommend this place the shawrma is the best I ordered a chicken Greek burrito and I loved it the meat was so juicy and lovely the pita was fresh done at the spot. Definitely a good recommendation late night option. It was light and delicious. read more

I used them for catering at my office and it was a huge hit. I got three different types of gyros - chicken, beef/lamb, and falafel and a side of baklava. The gyros went super fast as people went back for seconds! It was also nice when I ordered that they give the option to cut them in half so people can mix and match the gyros they want to try. I'd definitely order from here again. Thank you! read more

This is a decent place to get a gyro wrap or a Greek salad and satisfy that craving if you're in the mood. It's the only gyro place that I've seen in the Castro and it's a reliably solid spot for me. The meat can be a bit dry sometimes but it still tastes good. They use the soft pita for the wraps and not the lavash bread if that's important to you. The Greek salad is really a bit pricy if you add in lamb and beef but it's a decent portion with a lot of meat. The lettuce was fresh in my salad but the tomato pieces were not super ripe and not as fresh seeming. read more

This is the place to go to in the Castro District if you want some Mediterranean cuisine. From a fun night in the Castro District, spending time with friends, or just to curve your hunger this restaurant has a variety of food on the menu. In today's review, I will explain my experience about this place. Pros: - Severs are attentive to address your needs - Get a quick bite after a night out in Castro. Cons: - This place needs improvement in cleanliness in all aspects! - Dining hall - The chef who cooks the food. - The person who prepares/bags the meal for customers. Today I ate a Gyro, finding a clump of hair inside. I'm shocked bc I never had any problems here. I was glad to get an employee's attention bc I lost my appetite. I notice employee's dont pick up or clean the tables after customer's leave. Please be sanitary bc I am a foodie blogger, I dont want to ruin a S.F. restaurant's history/reputation. read more

Really bad quality! Had chicken wrap was like day old! Not going there again. Thanks read more

So after going out on a late night in Castro, my friends and I were super hungry, and guess what just happened to be open? I got one of the gyros, and while it wasn't the best tasting thing I've had (they kind of overdue it with the sauce), for the limited options I have late at night this place wasn't all that bad and hit the spot quite well. It was a fun place to end the night, even if the food wasn't the best. read more

Always love eating here. Great taste, friendly service and great location on the corner of 18th and Castro. Area is clean except occasionally some dishes from recent patrons but this crew is on top of it and they aren't left for long. The food is delicious and full of flavor and the music is played at a good level. I wish I got out more often because this is one of my fav places. read more

They got rid of honey tahini. A new guy is there doing amazing things. This a good street food for the masses. read more

Before I even explain the flavor of the fries the amount of garlic at the bottom of the basket shows how DELICIOUS these Garlic fries were. They were extremely fresh and crispy. They even gave us a complimentary dessert of Baklava. Customer service was super friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend checking them out read more

Bad neighbors and mediocre food. Parklets aren't kept up and are constantly filthy which attracts vermin. If the staff doesn't even care about keeping up the outside of the restaurant, like, literally the first thing you see, can you imagine the state of the kitchen? Yuck. Its so unfortunate because the location really deserves a tenant who cares about the neighborhood. Sadly in addition to the cleanliness issue the food isn't that great. Its the kind of place you stumble into after a few drinks. Bland flavor and low quality ingredients. I'd love to see this place improve, it seems like the unifying factor in these issues is just that the staff doesn't care? Maybe with staffing changes the cleanliness of the restaurant will improve as will the food quality. read more

We ordered the lentil soup. It had absolutely no flavor. When I got to the bottom of my dish, I found small stones in it. I pointed this out to the manager and he gave us a free baklava. Unfortunately the same night of my wife and I got indigestion from the food. The restaurant was pretty cold since they left the lodge, windows and doors open. I guess we're not going there again. read more

Sad waste of money. I think this place depends on the extremely drunk to stay alive. The gyro I got was soggy, flavorless and one of the worse I've had in years. Sorry to be so harsh but it was that bad and the customer service didn't help. It was like pulling teeth to order and then confirm that it was done and I could wait for my food. Shockingly bad.... read more

I tried this place today before heading to work, and I'm glad I did!! I'm not familiar with the Castro very well, so I'm not sure where to eat. I was walking by and saw "GYROS" and other Mediterranean food and was sold. I love gyros and any type of Greek or Mediterranean food. I ordered the lamb and beef gyro and checked in, and got a free Mediterranean tea. The server at the counter was very friendly and personable. My order came quick, and the gyro was tasty. I didn't really like the salad too much, but the gyro was good, I ate it all! I'm glad I tried this place, at least I know where I can grab a gyro in the Castro! read more

Absolutely loved this place! Very Welcoming and friendly:) The food is absolutely insane and it made me feel like I was eating my home country food Everything from the moment you enter till you finish your plate you feel like you're home The owner was very friendly and helpful and deserves all respect ! Will definitely come back again read more

Literally worst gyro ever. I was so disappointed! Nice staff, but I asked for a chicken gyro and ended up getting shards of unidentifiable meat coated in what appeared to be mayo instead of tahini...what the heck?? The iceberg lettuce was also super old and turning brown. I was so hungry and they were one of the few places open across from the 24-hour Walgreens, where I was waiting to pick up meds for my daughter. Here I am, thinking I'm getting something satisfying, but took a bite of repulsion instead. I should have returned but I felt so bad about how bad that gyro is, and then where do you even start to fix it when everything is just bad and wrong??! Instead, I chopped up my losses and would prefer to use it as forewarning for the masses. So if you're looking for something quick that will do the trick, maybe think twice. If you're drunk and need some eats, then maybe this place is for you and you won't notice the difference?? Literally one star for being cordial and fast. I hate giving bad reviews, but quality is everything!! read more

11/6/2016: Today is my third time here. It is very good seeing a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant on the corner of Castro & 18th Streets. I have been patronizing this place lately and I am also enjoying the food. Love this place especially when I am in the mood to satisfy my cravings for Gyros and Kebabs. I really like how customers can order at the counter and choose between eat in or take out. When eating in, there is someone who brings your order to you. Props to that, this is good customer service. Some of the items I ordered are: 1. French Fries 2. Fish & Chips 3. Lamb Kebab Plate I do admit to liking how the food is freshly prepared and is delicious. Meals I have had here are very good and I liked it. Overall, positive experiences here. If you are finding a restaurant to satisfy your Greek and Mediterranean cuisine cravings, come on in to Gyro Xpress. Reasons for rating: - clean facility - good food - good service - friendly staff members read more
