    Chicken Shawarma
    Hiram S.

    Super good food super loaded The picture doesn't show justice because it's half eaten. But trust this food was really really good. That's my girlfriends plates but mine was eaten in like 3 minutes. they are super kind and very attentive. all the veggies are fresh and very fast service. Would extremely recommend this place. would definitely be back. 10 out of 10 pita bread, literally very soft not chewy at all, I be fighting with the other Pita bread sometimes but the one here is very soft. Great services, Great sauce, Great People.

    Gyro Burger Combo
    Stanley C.

    I saw Gyros House here on Yelp when I was in the area looking for some lunch and it looked good, so I had to try it. To my surprise, when I arrived, I found out that it was actually in a food court inside the Parkway Plaza. Despite the unexpected location, my experience here was fantastic! When I walked up to the counter, a very friendly lady came and took my order. I decided on the gyro burger combo. After paying, I waited as the chef asked me if I wanted everything on it, which made the experience feel very personal. I said yes, and he proceeded to make my food right in front of me. Everything was freshly made, from the fries to cooking the meat. Both of the staff working here went above and beyond in making my food. The gyro burger was packed with tasty meat, juicy tomatoes, and their delicious tzatziki sauce, which added a perfect tangy flavor. Everything was steaming hot, including the fries. Speaking of fries, there was a large portion of them, and they were salty and delicious. When I finished, the nice lady asked if I wanted a refill. I passed because I was so full, but it was really the thought that counts. Overall, Gyros House provided an excellent dining experience with great food and exceptional service. I highly recommend this place If you are looking for some quality Greek food!

    Loads of chicken in the combo plate. Rice under the chicken.

    Looking for fresh and delicious take-out in El Cajon? Highly recommend the combination plates at Gyros House! (Yes, in the Parkway Plaza food court). I'm no expert about what spices they use, but I've eaten both the falafel plate and chicken gyro plate and both were fantastic. I especially liked what I thought was a lemony flavor on the chicken and rice and the dill in the tzatziki sauce. Friendly service as well. Will definitely be coming back.

    Best gyros in the city and the customer service was spectacular! Little to no line and cute area. It's located in the mall so it makes it convenient after shopping

    Chicken Salad! So good

    Hi Salem, Do you bring your food truck to cater graduation parties?

    Hey there! We do not have a food truck that we directly operate out of, however, we can set up a tent like how we do at all of our events :)

    Came from San Francisco to the San Diego zoo and this restaurant came up in my search. And I really…read moredo not regret it. Amazing staff- amazing food and service. The restaurant is clean- bathroom is clean. Staff is very friendly and smiling all the time. We were group of 15 and they got the food out in time. The owner was very very friendly and made me the best beef shawerma ever. I would recommend this place. And I am definitely coming back. Thank you everyone for everything. God bless you all.

    I saw Al Awael on Yelp and the food looked so good. I wanted to check this place out. My party came…read moreto Al Awael later in the evening, after the Iftar rush. As a result, the restaurant was not crowded, but they were out of several menu items. The restaurant is spacious and very color coordinated. The armrests on the chairs are at a slightly odd height for me but very aesthetic. This restaurant is family-run by a father and son duo. The father was cooking while his son was on the front end of things. The service was super friendly and I really appreciated that he explained the menu thoroughly to us. They were out of beef kabob and chicken shawarma (my go-to). I opted for the liver plate with fries, and also tried a bite of beef shawarma. We were also served a complimentary lentil soup as an appetizer. The soup was DELICIOUS. Soft and warm and comforting, with vermicelli bits in it. It was incredibly flavorful and soothing, something I would crave on cold days, sick days, any days really. I will definitely be finding recipes and attempting to make this myself. Middle Eastern places always have the most delicious, freshly fried fries, 10/10 no notes especially with ketchup (sue me, I'm basic XD). My grilled liver hit the spot. I think my one critique would be that because the pieces were quite large, some parts were quite tough. The roast onions and tomatoes had a good smoky char, and the portions were generous. After I polished off my first cube, the son swung by and set a grilled jalapeño down in front of me, saying that his father recommended parting it with the liver. It's personal touches like this that make me really love a local, family owned place! And his father was definitely right about the jalapeño. That and the pickled cabbage were the perfect complement for the rich, earthy liver. Prices were fair and portions were huge. The service was standout here as well. I would LOVE to come back and try their lamb dishes, and I definitely anticipate updating to a 5 star review then.

They definitely invest their time on the taste of their food and serving large portion sizes instead of fancy tables and decor. It's not upscale fine dining... the interioir looks the exact same for past decade. Although a little dated the place is very clean and fits large or small groups. Not a date night spot -- more a friends and family stuff your face kind of place. They have a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots. We ordered a ton of food to share. Half roasted chicken with side of fatoush salad, beef kabob plate with side of rice, lamb tikka with side of fries, a large plate of hummus, and an order of falafel (Best Falafel in SoCal). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I personally didn't like the lamb tikka but everyone else destroyed that plate. We ordered a pot of black tea (mint flavored) and they brought our large pieces of steaming hot fresh bread. Service was very friendly and fast. They modified any order to your liking. They also thanked us for coming and meant it when they said it -- Mom and Pop shops are The Best! Highly Recommend if you're looking for good quality middle eastern food with large portions.
