Lauren L.

Had a wonderful experience at this mediterranean hidden gem in Tempe! Kalos is a build your own mediterranean grill offering build your own bowls, wraps, and plates. All of the food is super authentic and the spot is owned by an immigrant family. The service was wonderful, they were very passionate about their food and it showed! Everyone was so friendly. Perfect spot to grab a quick easy, reasonably priced, authentic mediterranean meal! Inside is very casual. I built my own bowl with beef shawarma and the shawarma was perfectly cooked and seasoned. This meat was recommended to me and I see why! I also tried the sampler platter with all of their goodness piled into a massive tray. My favorites from this platter were the falafel, their pita and tahini, and their baba ghanoush. Plus, their baklava was to die for!!

Ordered dinner from DoorDash. The 1/3 lb angus burger was moist & delicious. The falafel was crispy & tasty. The fried mushrooms were not good at all. Definitely will not order those again. Would definitely get the burger again.

First time ordering here despite living about a mile away. Falafel was raw in the middle. The fries were limp and soggy.

I'm a fan of this fast casual establishment. I didn't really know this complex existed but on my way to try Dirty Dough next door, I saw this place and decided to give it a try since I needed to find something for lunch (although some would argue that eating cookies is lunch itself). Kalos Grill had a promotion on the window with for lunch specials for $6. While they had several appealing options on their menu, I opted for a gyro pita. If the gyro is good, you know the place is good, am I right?! I appreciated the fact that we could see our order being made and the transparency of their ingredients and the assembling of my order. The owner came walked in the middle of my experience at this establishment and he was so nice. He greeted me, made sure I was taken care of and ensured that I was being charged the right amount for my order. I was accidentally overcharged but he made sure I got the difference back. He also said bye on my way out. That interaction alone made me like the place without even taking a bite of the pita. The gyro pita was fabulous and I'm not just saying that because Kalos had great customer service. The gyro was tasty and they gave me a hefty amount of meat. It was flavorful and I liked the additional veggies to really balance out the sandwich. The pita texture was great and it had a great bread to filling ratio. The gyro was filling and I didn't feel hungry until hours later. Since I work in Tempe, I'm happy to know that I have some great options while support small businesses that know how to do it right!

I've written before about small family run businesses. But some don't live up to their hype, Kalos Grill on the other hand is exceptional. My coworker Cam and I were headed next door for the Tuesday Chicken special, but stopped here instead. Both of us are glad we did. First, a word about the owner, Peter. He is an amazing ambassador for his business. As we walked in, he greeted us warmly and asked if this was our first visit. Since it was, he brought over samples of Steak, saffron flavored rice and chicken. He's incredible fun guy who came to The Valley to attend GCU. He kept coming over offering us other food items to enjoy. Wow! Suffice it to say our meal was incredible. I ordered a Gyro ($6.95) and Cam the Steak. He skipped his Keto fast to order the steak after trying it. Yes, it was that good! See photos. My order was less than $9, including a soda. Great new place. RIP FlameBroiler! Long live Peter and his Kalos Grill. Enjoy!

Veggie and rice bowl, stuffed grape leaves and baklava.

I was staying at the nearby hotel and wanted a healthy meal that wouldn't break the bank. I found Kalos Grill to fit the ticket. I eat as close to whole food plant based as I can so this place really met my needs. I'm glad I used Yelp to find my way to their counter. My Rice bowl with veggies and hummus was delicious. I also had a small sample of their lentil soup ant that was good too. Give it a shot. I am giving it a high rating mostly because of the service. The guys who helped me were awesome and oh so courteous.

This review is based on an Ubereats delivery. I ordered the meat shawarma but I think I actually got the filet mignon as it was all beef and so tender. Hubby had the gyros plate and reluctantly shared with me! The gyro meat is very not dry and very flavorful. The saffron rice was well seasoned an perfect texture. However, the vegetables was just reheated frozen vegetables with a dab of butter and salt. The cilantro jalapeño hummus was very flavorful, much better than the roasted pepper hummus. We got a deal where we got a free order of hummus if we spend over $20. So we got the plain hummus and it was decent. A bit lighter on garlic and tahini, may have been slightly watered down. The pita was probably just store bought, nothing to rave about but came warm, wrapped in tin foil. Overall, great solid food. I will definitely order from Kalos again!

I ask for my salad in separate box, you get more and dressing doesn't mix with rice. Very fresh.

Julia G.

After telling James, the owner, about the hard and dry Al Pastor I wrote about in my first 3 star review on 12/17/20, he said he removed Al Pastor right away from his menu, because he found his employees (like college age kids) did not take the care to grill the expensive cuts of pork that he chooses to purchase, so that it isn't overcooked. Indeed Al Pastor is no longer on the backlit menu board. Kalos Grill has the best gyros I ever had in my life! I found other restaurants' gyros, like Green Corner in Mesa, was always dried out, because the restaurant keeps it on the heat source turning and turning while all the juices drip out and moisture in the meat dissipates. Well smart James puts small amounts of freshly shaved gyros in a covered steamer, so the meat stays moist, soft, and hot. When supply gets low, he shaves more, so the steam doesn't blanch out the flavor. James told me he buys the best quality gyros he can get. Then the freshly made jalapeno and cilantro hummus is so addictive, I could eat a whole big bowl with a spoon in no time, like you would eat a bowl oatmeal. But it is expensive for a small container. Everything tastes so good. Salad is so fresh, the dressing is sooooo "homemade". You can taste the fresh herbs in the salad. I had chicken wings here, too, pretty good. They let me pick only the flats and fry to order for me. I eat here with a Local Flavor 50% off voucher that I buy when LF has 25% off sales and I usually order the same thing: One pound of gyros for $15, and $5 worth of the jalapeno and cilantro hummus. I have a class in the industrial area near Kalos Grill every Monday at 7 pm, so I come here to eat, before I go to class. James had to cut back on his hours because all the thousands of workers in this industrial area, now work from home. I saw James turn away people who arrived at 6:30 on Monday (I only come Mondays due to my class nearby). Before Covid, James said seven employees at the counter could not keep up with the business, and they worked sooo hard! Now it's like I am the only one there at 6 pm Monday nights. James is good to me, treats me like family! I don't have any family. So I hope you go eat here often, and support this business. Yum ! The gyros smells SOOOOO GOOD in the takeout box in my car!

Evan D.

I want to preface this 3 star review by saying that the food here is good! I really enjoyed my Philly Cheesesteak Pita and my girlfriend went for the Gyro Fries which were BOMB.COM (sauces also) Service was something to be questioned on the day I was in though. Masks were present, but workers did not wear gloves behind the counter and beyond into the kitchen (yikes). In addition to this we had to repeat our order 4 separate times (twice after paying), field inhospitable service staff, and ultimately missing a few extra sauces we asked for in the order. My advice, get an order delivered and make sure it's all there! Ultimately the food is worth a 4 star; so no need to deal with the 2 star service.

Say M.

Oh man really good, fresh food for the prices. What a value! I came by to try one of their happy hour rice bowls for only $5. I got the falafel bowl and it was fantastic, and a steal at the price paid. Quality healthy fresh made REAL food at that price is honestly super rare. Even crappy fast food is way more expensive than that these days. The falafel was crisp yet really moist and perfectly fried/cooked. Veggies tasted fresh and rice was really good. I asked for a good amount of tzatziki on top and they were generous with it! Owner was talking with other customers and you could tell he takes pride in his business and food and wants to share that with others. I will be making this one of my regular spots to hit up for lunch that's for sure!

This place is a solid 5 stars. Just discovered this awesome place today. I had the rice bowl with gyro meat. Everything was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The vegetables were even cooked perfectly, usually when vegetables are kept in a warmer they are soggy and taste terrible, not these, they tasted great. To top it off, the customer service is amazing. Staff is very, very friendly. I am so happy I discovered Kalos Grill, I no longer have to torture myself by eating Panda Express on 48th and Broadway.

This is one of the hidden gems of Tempe! Started off not knowing what to get but Peter is the man! He offered several suggestions (all of which sounded amazing) and I ended up getting a rice bowl. I was there during happy hour so the bowl was only $5 (my choice of meat was an additional $2 totaling $7 but was well worth it). They also offer homemade sauces which adds an extra oomph to the food. Peter was super helpful and friendly, and made this a great experience! Give this place a shot if you're in the area! read more

I usually don't give negative reviews but I'm disappointed in lunch today and I feel bad that I bought lunch for my two co workers and they were disappointed as well. $7.00 for a rice and veggie bowl that had about 4 bites of cold once frozen veggies. I asked for sauce on the side and the cup wasn't even half full. Please save your time and money.

So I looked up the restaurant and added it to my list. Luckily we were passing by on University recently and stopped in. So glad we did, it's delicious! We also tried that wrap featured on IG and I didn't like it as much as their traditional beef shawarma wrap. It has better flavor. I haven't had baba ghanoush in forever and this was yummy, the grilled eggplant flavor was great. It came with a pita bread, which are all made in house. This fast casual Lebanese/ Mediterranean restaurant is definitely a place I'll come back to try other items.

I think this place went pretty viral on TikTok for the crispy shawarma? All my friends told me to…read morecheck it out so I did! We ordered from a kiosk and got a recommendation from one of the workers which was nice. You can watch them assemble your food on the line which is cool. There's lots of seating inside so it's a nice casual spot. First of all the prices here are incredible, our pita wrap was only $9, and an additional $1 to "make it viral" (crispy). The food took a really long time to come out, there was quite a few people waiting in front of us which is why I think it took so long, they also seemed to grill all the meats to order so I'm not super mad about the wait. The meat inside the wrap wasn't super flavorful, but still pretty good. All the hummus, sauce, and pickles really brought it all together. I probably wouldn't get it crispy next time since it honestly hurt the inside of my mouth, and just seemed to kind of make it greasy, it wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, just kinda hard. All that said, it's not the best thing I've ever had but the price makes it so good. I would definitely come here again

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and my server was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, checked on me regularly, and even made me an amazing drink that I really enjoyed. That said, I have to agree with many of the other reviews--the food was pretty average, especially considering the price point. The portions were also surprisingly small. While the overall experience was enjoyable because of the atmosphere and service, I left feeling hungry and wishing the food had lived up to the setting. If you're looking for stunning views and a great atmosphere, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared for higher prices and smaller portions than you might expect.

When we arrived, my initial sense was below casual... more like cafeteria style... paper cups and plastic utensils!!... really!? We ordered one falafel dinner and one schnitzel dinner, both with two sides and a soda and a water apiece... total bill came to $58.00 - YIKES!!* My partner found it hard to cut her chicken with a plastic knife and for me, with 6 falafel balls, I was given only one (1) piece of pita bread. When I asked for additional Pitas, they gave me only one (1) more. The food was decent, but the presentation and prior reviews didn't match. Overall, a disappointing result altogether. First impressions are lasting impressions... the impression I got - thank, but NO THANKS!!

It is a restaurant with a mini market which makes it feel so authentic. However, upon my first visit I didn't really look around the market but I did purchase a zero calorie Salaam cola which tasted exactly like Coca Cola. I ordered chicken shawarma plate and for appetizers I got the falafels. I started with the falafels and they were surprisingly not dry at all. I was not sure what kind of sauce it was served with but it paired well with it. The plate portion size is no joke...Everything on the plate had a huge portion size: the salad, hummus, rice, and meat...all of them...Every bite with the yogurt sauce was flavorful. And then I tried a bite with hummus, rice, chicken and the sauce...wombo combo flavors. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish all of it so I had to take a to go box home. On my next visit I ordered the beef shawarma plate and I was not disappointed at all. After finishing with an empty plate, I walked around the mini market. I noticed there was allot of Middle Eastern food, candies, and drinks. I really enjoyed my Salaam cola on my first visit but they did not have the zero calorie version in stock...I did research on the brand and I found that they created the cola to provide aid to countries like (free)Palestine and Yemen which I deeply support. Besides the food, I also saw keffiyehs on display which I liked as well. Overall, I rate this place a strong 10/10. I will come back to try other entrees and desserts like their baklava cheesecake.

We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

Visiting Tempe, AZ and it was strongly recommend by our daughter to eat at Kalos Grill. We all had Rice Bowls (1 - falafal and 2 - lamb). Holy Moly folks, this was, hands down, some of the best I have had!! The flavor, the amount of food, the presentation, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I recommend this place 110%!!

Wow! Ate here with my family and I have to say that this is the best Gyro I have had in a long time. Try the Gyro, or the Sarah Bowl (yellow rice, roasted red pepper Hummus, and Tabuleh), or a large plate to go! Don't forget to save some room for Baklava, and come hungry! read more
