I stopped in at 740pm on a Monday night when they close at 8. I apologized for coming late and they were very nice and happy to take my order. I got the gyro special which is a gyro, fries and a drink for around $12.00. The food is always so good. The fries here are always freshly cooked and crunchy! They're delicious. The gyro is excellent. I also ordered the cheese balls. They were yummy. If you're looking for a great gyro come to Khoury's on University. It's been here forever. They have a large menu of non Mediterranean items too. But I always order the gyro. read more

Khoury's Cuisine - Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Fast service, great food. Has mediterranean and some fried american classics like chicken tenders if you don't like mediterranean or have picky kids. I personally got the falafel sandwich and I could tell it was authentic and it was extremely tasty. For 3 combo meals and a 15% tip it was around $50 which isn't too bad for lunch. They also have a case of treats that you can purchase. There's desserts as well as hummus and other mediterranean foods. I recommend the hummus it's TO DIE FOR. One tip I have to give to this business is I saw at least 3 different people walk up to the counter asking for silverware. It might make it easier on the staff if you put some out so you're not constantly interrupted :) read more

I could tell this was a gem when I walked in. The place was clean and filled with locals. The cashier was very friendly and asked personal questions. I went with the gyro lunch special. The fries were so crispy and served piping hot! The gyro meat was laid perfectly in the sandwich, as opposed to most places throwing ingredients in the pita. Very well priced for a lunch, and I will absolutely be coming back. read more

Khoury's Cuisine - Gyro Sandwich (DD) - Mediterranean Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Ordered the chicken wrap and liked the tenderness of the meat. The environment is almost like a fast food restaurant with the way it is set up. Lots of free parking available. The prices are good, just wish they added more toppings onto the wrap like more tomatoes and lettuce. Asking for more sauce is extra. The way it came out made it look like it was missing something. It was a skinny looking wrap on a paper plate with nothing else. But at least it's affordable! Next time, will go back to try more on the menu such as the gyro and falafel wrap and salads. read more

Hands down the best french fries ever. You should also try the chicken the service was also great.

Yes! Great place! Great service and food in a super clean family run joint. With great pieces of baklava for dessert!!! read more

Khoury's Cuisine - a burrito on a plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Came in on a Thursday evening as I was wanting a quick gyro and had always seen a bunch of cars in the parking lot (found out it was actually for the Aldi next door, as the place was empty). The place looks like it used to be a Taco Bell or another little fast food joint. Ordered a gyro meal and it came out with 5 strips of gyro meat (see picture for clarification). The meat was okay, not a lot of flavor, the tomatoes were good, but there was hardly any tzatziki sauce on the side. The big disappointment was the pita. It was STALE, as it really dry and almost too chewy to eat. The fries were okay, but nothing particular to rave about. Some good and crisp, others a bit undercooked. The service (counter) was miserable, as the guy seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else. Prices are fair with a gyro meal running about $10 including tax. read more

We love eating here. Their Buffalo chicken sandwich and gyro are a house favorite. The fries are always piping hot and the staff is so nice and usually pretty fun to be around. Bonus points for the soda machine- it's the kind you can add flavors to your soda with. We've never tried the desserts because we always leave full, but I can't wait to try the carrot cake! read more

By FAR, the best gyro I've ever had!! If you like gyros, don't hesitate! And the hummus was to die for!!! Absolutely delicious!!! We had our order delivered via Uber Eats. Everything was as ordered and still hot and fresh when it arrived. Most definitely recommend!! read more

Are here yesterday with wife and son - great gyro meat, roasted on the spit. I got the super gyro (extra meat, feta and black olives. I barely finished it, and I was stuffed. Good fries too. The salads look really good, so I plan on going back to try one! read more

The restaurant is very clean. I ordered takeout and got a large Super Sub sandwich. The meat was very fresh, but lettuce, tomato, and onion were limp and very old tasting. They forgot to put the Italian salad dressing on it, which made the sandwich bland and uninteresting. There is not a lot of meat on this sandwich, so this is an item I won't be ordering again. No drink or chips were included with this sandwich. Not worth the price of almost $15.00 , and a big disappointment. The counterman was very nice and polite. read more

What an experience at Khoury's! Stopped in for some authentic, fresh Mediterranean food and boy did we have a good lunch. The owner connected with my parents right away and sat with us for our meal and shared his stories. He is such a kind person who is able to make anyone feel welcome. We chose to dine on the patio with a beautiful scenery and pretty plants. Thanks to the owner for creating such a wonderful experience for us. PS: order the hummus. You won't be disappointed. read more

Couldn't order on door dash a few weeks ago, and felt very sad thinking they shut down. False alarm they were closed for 3 weeks for a wedding. They have the best Gyros I've ever age. I'm like shockingly white sometimes they stare but damn it; I will still order their gyros!!! That good. I will be going back, maybe after I get some sun :/ read more

Food is absolutely amazing it has heathy options for people on a diet and has a traditional Lebanese menu the food is so good I would recommend it read more

I agree with others here. Definitely the best gyros I've had in town. The falafel is okay too. But dem gyros! Half my family is kinda picky with food but we're all pretty happy/satisfied when we order Khoury's! read more

This place is amazing..We are passing through, got a local tip. I ordered a chicken wrap, kids got cheeseburgers/fries. Did not disappoint!!

My go to gyro shop. Food always good, fries are some of the best in town. Fast service, pleasant people behind taking the orders and cooking. Also very yummy desserts. Our favorite is namoura-try it read more

First timers. We got gyros and fries. They were the best we have had in this area. I was worried. they offered 3 or 6 meat gyro and had never seen that before. we ordered 6 meat. and it was very filling. I will probably order 3 meat next time. The service was exceptional. and if you ever read any of my other posts. I have never said that in this ares either. We will definitely be back. read more

Best gyros for 5.99 So good lots of meat and it's so tasty this place is very clean and neat and u order at the counter and they bring it out to you when ready I've had the gyro salad and I love salads next time I'm asking for sliced onions on mine cuz I like onions and they do not put onions on it I guess I usually always get the gyro and we tried the fried kibbee and it was great it's like a loose meatballs fried in a batter and it was tasty I've never seen this anywhere else but one time we got wings there and they were good but they served them with French fries and were covered I the same wing sauce which just made the fries soggy so remember that to ask for no sauce on the fries But again great gyros plus they have a larger gyro which my husband gets and it's even bigger for a couple dollars more read more

Khoury's salad, hummus, and grape leaves were all amazing! Can't wait to go back and get that salad again!

This is an amazing family owned & operated business that has great service & most importantly food! They have a variety of food for all palettes. My cousin is vegan and this restaurant has so many items she can eat. Every thing is fresh & delicious. I always get the garlic chicken & carrot cake these 2 items alone are what dreams are made of! When I take my cousin it's a full on feast. Baba ganoush, hummus, falafel baklava it's literally heaven. I love going here because they treat you like family & they are always kind. read more

An easy 5 Star. Great service (seems like a family business operated by the family...super nice)...Great food...got the gyros (outstanding), hummus (awesome) and fries (the best I have ever had...a must). Very clean place, obviously the owners have pride in their business and it shows. Top Rate!!! read more

I love this place . Love their food and one of the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to.

We have been regulars at Khoury's and have enjoyed the food. Unfortunately we had a bad experience today that will influence our future decisions to eat there and/or recommend Khoury's to our friends. We had purchased a Voucher through HeartlandDailyDeals/PJ Star for $8 for $16 in food. We went to have lunch and were informed that we couldn't use it to get the Gyro Special when the voucher says may not be used with any other promotion ( we read this to mean no other coupons along with the offer). We were informed that we had to buy a gyro, fries and a drink separately which came to $2 more. After we agreed to buy everything ala carte, she took the voucher and said "After all this talk, it's expired anyway". By 4 days. I explained I had surgery and we weren't able to get there before now, and that they had been paid the money, it wasn't like a regular coupon - we bought this offer for cash. She would not relent and honor the voucher. Being in a business that deals with the public myself, I certainly would never treat a customer that way and knowing that we are regulars or were...they certainly lost more than todays lunch...we will never go back which will cost them close to $30 a month we spent at their establishment not to mention the friends we've taken there. Too bad. read more

I really wanted to give this place 2 or 3 stars because the food was average to ok, but I can't. Reason is this place is listed as Mediterranean, Greek, and Lebanese. Judging it on that it is 1 star. If it was listed as American, Drunk munchie grub, Greek it would get 2 to 3 stars. Don't believe me? Click on the menu to the right and start counting. American food (chicken wings, burgers, walleye dinner, jalapeno poppers, etc) there are 38 items. Greek? 12 (most of those are versions of Gyros). 8 if you take away the 1/2 lb. tubs of hummus, etc. in the cooler you can get for $4 (probably to take back to your dorm for a useful, healthy snack). Lebanese? 2. Look guys, most bars have Gyro's on their menu and they aren't pretending to be a Mediterranean restaurant. Your choice of any Greek dish is fries, which are good mind you... but not Greek. I mean who wants to add 8 ounces of hummus because he doesn't want deep fried potatoes' as his side? Plus get penalized by upping the cost 50% because he wants something Greek in... a Greek restaurant? This shouldn't be too much to ask.... What also shouldn't be too much to ask is for unsweetened tea to be an option instead of super sugarized soda's. Lastly, the Tzatziki sauce should have some resemblance of cucumber in it, not watered down mayo like it is here. I ordered the Gyro meal. It came with a couple of slices of onions and a slice of tomato. No side tomatoes like the picture has (The framed picture of the Gyro is precious, priceless, and totally inaccurate) Meat was average to good. Pita was store bought and not screwed up. Lack of any lettuce was disappointing. Tzatziki sauce was horrible. Fries were good. Drink selection was not good (especially if you are a diabetic... then your option apparently is water) This place really needs to reconsider what it is and what it is trying to be. read more

I'm not a fan of this place. After seeing the amount of stars this place received, I decided to try it. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed. The grape leaves I ordered did not taste anything like the grape leaves I've had from in Greece. It was filled with mushy, unseasoned rice. Not only that but I decided to order one falafel just to compare it with others I've had in Peoria and it was burnt. It looked like a brick. Extremely hard and crispy. Maybe I should've read the reviews and went with the Gyro which seems like what they're known for. I gave it 2 stars instead of one because I ate all the grape leaves. It wasn't what I wasn't expecting but I was hungry and paid for it. read more

I've ordered many times from Khoury's over the past few years via Dine in and Delivery and I really can't remember ever having a bad meal from them. I will admit, I usually order really toned down things like the burgers and other sandwiches they have. But all in all, they have been very consistent with their food. Nothing is ever burnt, under cooked or bland and portions are just right. When I don't want to cook and don't want to go out then I usually order from them. Oh ya! They have baklava! I think it's homemade too! I love baklava! :) read more

I never had a tenderloin on a bun. It was so awesome I took a picture before eating it. Lol This is how all things that come on a bun should look like and eating the meat then the bun is a + I'm coming back here when I come back to visit family here in Peoria. Its too bad we don't have this type of quality out here in L.A. The staff is friendly too. See you soon. Do you guys deliver to Los Angeles??? Lol so good :) read more

How can you go wrong when craving a gyro and choosing Khoury's to get it! The thicker slices of gyro meat and the spices show you that it wasn't just frozen pieces that come in a bag like many other greek restaurants in town serve. The sandwiches and fries there are very good. I love the crunchy fries as others have said. Also the unique bread for the philly cheese steak makes the sandwich and the beef tastes like it had been cooked for many hours to reach perfection. read more

I absolutely love this place. Maybe it's the fact that you can get traditional Mid-East food like falafel or grape leaves or go for fried mac & cheese. I usually get the falafel with french fries. It's a small, casual restaurant and the parking can get rough, but if you're looking for a nice alternative to typical fast food, I suggest giving it a try. read more

This place has a very good gyro, but that's not why I'm writing this review... BEST. PHILLY. EVER. Seriously, the Super Philly Steak sandwich is incredible. The meat is juicy and tender, the peppers and onions are grilled to perfection, and the whole thing is topped with cheese - LOTS of cheese. The bread is soft but has a nice chew to it. You MUST try this sandwich. read more

Had the gyro burger. It was amazing, yet somehow the fries were better. It is so disappointing that it took me 24 years to discover this place. read more

I would have never stopped in this place. Yelp strikes again. Baba Ghanoush with olive oil is very good. Pita bread was ok. We also had the Falafel and the Super Duper Gyro. Both was fantastic. If you find yourself anywhere near this place, you need to stop in. If still on the fence, the staff could not have been nicer. read more

Khoury's has a fantastic gyro! I have tried a couple of other gyros in town, and this one is by far the best. They have delicious fries as well. The place itself is kind of cute. The baklava and dolmades are great as well. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely a place to try! read more

Meh. We both had the cod sandwich. Buns were burnt. $2 for an iced tea out of the fountain: I've paid less for fresh brewed. I doubt if we'd go back. read more

Always clean, always tasty for me. Wrap their to go sandwiches to make them tidy to eat. Just a little higher priced than some others, but worth it. read more

Ordered delivery - and was pleasantly surprised! Great portions, food seemed fresh and was quick given it was opposite side of town. I really liked their gyro meat. Also ordered the falafel wrap and like that it comes with a pickle! This will definitely be my choice when it comes to Mediterranean in town. read more

My girlfriend brought me and another friend here and I am so thankful she did! This is so delicious! My friend and I had the Kibbeh sandwich which was amazing and my other friend had the Greek salad which she loved. We shared the hummus and that tasted great as well. This is a really cute place, clean and the decor is pretty and simple. The service was very friendly and I will most definitely be back!!!!! read more

Cheese balls & fried mushrooms at a falafel place?! YES PLEASE. The combo meal is very filling. The fries are suprisingly good. Atmosphere isn't fantastic, just a basic fast food type of set up. It is clean though. The falafel seasoning is unusual, but still tasty. The baba ganoush was too tart. PROS: *cheese balls & fried mushrooms *fries that are both crispy & soft *interestingly good falafel *vegetarian options CONS: *2 of the same picture hanging on the wall is a little weird *didn't like everything ordered read more

Khoury's Cuisine is great. They meet you with a smile, very polite and their food is tasty. My favorite is gyros ( best in town) and catfish dinner. I tried carryout service today and it was efficient, and very smooth. read more
