    Dryest Baklava ever

    I have ordered from them before and the food was great. Today I received old dry meat, no sauce and the baklava has no syrup or honey and it is also dry. Sigh

    Kalos's 1/3 LB Angus Beef Burger
    Lei G.

    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.

    Falafel Wrap

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

    Gyro pita

    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!

    Happy employees

    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!

    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.

    Ubereats receipt
    Julie C.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    $5 rice/meat bowl such a good value!!
    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!

    Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

Chicken shawarma was bomb!

We brought family from out of town and had a party of 11 (six adults and five kids). There was a long wait, which we completely understood. We spent the time at the bar where the service was excellent, and the kids browsed the nearby shops. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the experience went downhill. Our server seemed to have little sense of urgency. Everything took an unusually long time, but the biggest issue was the food, which took well over an hour despite being a very simple order of burgers, sandwiches, and other basic menu items. Throughout the wait, we watched tables seated after us receive their food and leave while we were still waiting. The most frustrating part was the lack of communication. Rather than checking in or providing an update, our server was frequently visible chatting with coworkers and rolling silverware. When our food finally arrived, it was at best room temperature, making it seem like it had been sitting for quite a while before being brought to the table. We asked to speak with a manager, who said she would look into it, but never returned to follow up. That lack of acknowledgment or accountability was even more disappointing than the delay itself. We declined the offer of dessert because we needed to get the kids home, yet instead of bringing the check promptly, our server spent additional time clearing the table before finally processing our payment. As someone who has worked as a server, I understand that delays happen and kitchens get backed up. What makes the difference is communication, ownership, and making guests feel like their time matters. None of that happened here. It's unfortunate because we've had good experiences in the past, but this visit left us embarrassed that we chose this restaurant to host visiting family.
