    Loved coming here!! Best Gyro's and fantastic . Sorry to hear that they closed though no fault of their own. Will definitely be going to stop by when they are at events with their food truck.

    Identifiable by its bold blue-and-white-striped tent that matches the checkerboard paper wrapped around each gyro, Kiki's has been serving Greek food and other Mediterranean fare since 2008. After nearly 11 years, Kiki's Authentic Greek Food celebrated the grand opening of its first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 64 Main St. in Camillus. For many years, Kiki's was a side project for owner Bob Cosselmon, who had a career in sales at Pepsi, but he recently decided he wanted to do Kiki's full time and turn it into a restaurant. The wife and I love Mediterranean food, and have eaten at Kikis several times now. The employees are always very friendly, the restaurant is clean and convenient to get into. We've had several choices from them, great gyros, love the stuffed grape leaves. They have amazing fresh cut fries and they give you A LOT of them. I find their tzatziki and little thicker and not as strongly flavored as I prefer, but it's still good. Prices are comparable to similar other restaurants. It's a good, convenient choice when you want Mediterranean and I'd recommend trying them out.

    For being a big Greek food fan, I really can't believe it's taken me so long to try Kiki's out. The family went to the recent winter state fair and tried their booth. The gyro was amazing. Fast forward a couple weeks, Valentine's Day with two little ones warranted take out over fancy sit down dinner. A quick trip to the town over we were greeted with nice staff and a cute shop in the middle of Camillus. My Greek Village Salad with double portion of lamb was magnificent and super fresh. The meat and homemade tzatziki sauce were perfection. This will be in my rotation. My husband loved his gyro and kids liked the pita grilled cheese. The only item I didn't care for were the French fries. A bit overdone and limp. The prices are more than reasonable. If you like Greek, make this a stop. I understand now why they are so popular at the state fair. Good job Kiki's!

    Mixed Gyro Lunch Special
    Harshita M.

    I love love Kiki's. I have never had a bad experience here whether it be their restaurant or their food truck! I usually get their mixed gyro sandwich lunch which is served with their delicious tzatziki fries! The gyro meat is so tender and flavorful wrapped in a pita. The sandwich holds well and doesn't get soggy easily. The veggies in the sandwich are fresh too! They also have some of the best spanakopita in town IMO. The pastry is toasted perfectly and the filling is creamy and plenty with the tang of feta cheese. The staff here is always friendly and the service is fast. We are one loyal customers!

    Fish dinner, village salad (with greens under it) and a side of tzatziki
    Danielle S.

    You may not be thinking of a Greek restaurant specializing in beer battered fish, but I promise you it's amazing! Huge portion of fish and fries when you get the dinner here. I always get a village salad and a side of tzatziki sauce to dip my fries in.

    Greek Village Salad
    Amber Y.

    LOVE coming here for the Greek Village salad. The ingredients are always so fresh and I love the tzatziki! Great portions, always delicious, always friendly, and love the music!

    Gyro bowl, gyro, kids Toasted Cheese
    Natalie S.

    We ate the lamb rice bowl, a lamb gyro and a kids toasted cheese. The lamb is cooked on a spit and is deliciously savory. It is topped with a house made tziki sauce that is refreshing. The staff is friendly and service is quick. We were also offered a nut roll which was filled with crunch layers of filo and a combination of honey and pistachios. There are options to eat inside or outside. They have a nice Greek theme with fresh plants growing which gives it a sense of peace. We would highly recommend this gem!

    Spanakopita - $6.95

    This is a good, practical place to pick up your Greek favorites. Our order was made fast at a great price. You'll need two hands to carry out a full order of the Tzatziki fries. We were snacking on leftover fries for the rest of the day. Good thing they're homemade. The Spanakopita is rolled and then coiled into a spiral shape. Every bite's a corner piece. We got a chicken and a lamb gyro, both of which met our reasonable expectations. You'll find better if you've got the time and money, but I'd never turn down a meal from this place.

    Taziki fries (half order) chicken gyro
    Maureen M.

    So good! All I knew is I wanted a gyro. Was driving back from Rochester google searched and found Kiki's. We ordered a chicken gyro, a reg gyro and taziki fries. Ordered in house for take out. Food came out fast and hot! Stayed warm all the way home. Needless to say the food was delicious! The fries could have been crisper but they traveled and they are natural cut. The gyros were massive and so full of flavor. I could barely eat the whole thing. Hubby destroyed his so fast said it was excellent. Will absolutely be going back!

    Here's the thing after we pried it apart to find anything edible. All of those are charred, rock hard pieces.
    Kirsten F.

    I normally absolutely love this place, but this review is specifically about the last experience I had here, The Spanakopita Saga. We ordered it as takeout and got the spanakopita. I was extremely stoked because the last four or five times we've done Kiki's, they've been completely out of spanakopita. I believe one of those times they sent us home with a frozen one and instructions to heat it up at home, which was kinda cool and an innovative solution. But come on, you go for the spanakopita to have *there* So imagine my sadness and disappointment when the spanakopita we ordered was a burned out, shrunken hunk. Like, I could use it to bludgeon someone it was so solid and hard. The boyfriend and I tried to pry it apart to find any edible bits because it's spanakopita and we love it. Bf gamely tried one of the end pieces and said it was dry, burnt and rock hard. I, being made of softer stuff, tried the middle, which was somewhat semi-chewy, but it was like undoing the Gordian knot to get it apart at all. I was really sad, and I'm now a bit burned (no pun intended) on asking for spanakopita from here. Not sure what's worse, having it be out altogether, or having it be a burnt husk. I know there are bigger things in the world to be upset about, but I'd had a crummy week and was absolutely looking forward to a lil piece of heaven in spanakopita form. The rest of the food we got was fine, exactly right and quite tasty as always, but I just get sad about the spanakopita that could have been.

    Santorini Chicken Salad
    Kurtis B.

    This place is officially my favorite spot to eat in the 315! The food is amazing and if all Greek food taste like this, I am moving to Greece! Not only is the food amazing, the friendly staff and atmosphere is just as great. Usually I don't rate or rave about a restaurant but I loved the food and experience! Best Gyro and fries you will have anywhere and the Chicken Santorini salad was just to die for (I added lamb and I highly recommend it)! If you get a chance to meet Bob and Athena, he's great to talk to and you know he puts his heart and soul into the food! I just want to say thank you and I will definitely be seeing you soon!!! Ps The Gyro and fries didn't have a chance to get a picture because it looked and smelled so good I was in a trance! Pss Bring the Kids! The Lorna special keeps the kids occupied!!!

    Love the lamb gyros, olives are an interesting touch, fries are super fresh and not coated or artificial, spanakopita was perfect, baklava and kataifi were delicious, don't come in a rush food is made to order so if there's a line there will be a wait, there is outdoor seating.

    The best Greek spot in this area! Fresh, authentic, great choices. Delicious gyros from the NYS Fair finally under a brick & mortar.

The place was pretty small and unassuming from the outward appearance. Upon coming in, there are limited seats, but everything was neat and clean. I could smell some enticing aromas from the kitchen. Not sure if they are short staffed, but it took a while for someone to come to the counter to take our order. I really was looking forward to having the lamb gyro, so that was what I ordered, as well as ordering a baklava for dessert. The food took a while to come out, but I'm fine waiting for something great to eat. They did have a number of takeout orders that were served while we waited, maybe 3 of them. Once the food came out, the lamb was pretty nice, and there was a reasonable portion of meat in the gyro, as well as some tomato, lettuce, and onion on a nice pita bread. But the tzatziki was very disappointing, it was very thin, and didn't have much flavor. That sort of killed the whole gyro. The baklava was very tasty, and had nice pistachio crumbles on it, but the honey was a bit too much, giving it a very soggy bottom. Flavor was good though, and I don't mind a little messy dessert. All in all, I was a little disappointed with the meal. I tend to be a little generous in my reviews, so I gave it three stars, as I felt I couldn't rate it as a 2, but I couldn't quite give a four star rating. I'd give it another try, but maybe not go for a gyro.

Dissapoint. is an understatement. Holy baklava! Everything that came to our table was phenomenal. Hummus, baba ganoush, kofta specialty wrap (called the Laila(sp?)), skewered lamb platter, tatziki. The pita alone was to die for, so fluffy and soft. Their ingredients are so high quality and flavorful, the Tahini you could taste was super fresh, olive oil on top of the baba and hummus was really lovely, pickled veggies in the wrap just hit the spot. Yes, it's a few minutes off the highway, but the service was so fast and so incredibly friendly, like genuinely beautiful humans running this place, that it's 100% worth the quick detour off the highway and you'll probably spend more time and feel far more stress waiting on much crappier food at a restaurant closer to the interstate. Don't let the neighborhood put you off, this is worth the trip. If you're driving through when they're open (only 4 days per week), it's your lucky day!

We arrived around 2:30pm on a Thursday, there was only one other group there. We were immediately greeted and our waiter was super friendly and chatty. The inside is pretty casual, and they played 2000s hits at a good volume. We started with a cup of Turkish coffee... I've never had Turkish coffee so maybe this is standard, but they did not offer cream or sugar. I don't usually like black coffee but it was surprisingly light, and the serving was pretty small so I actually quite enjoyed it. The owner later said it was the brand Utica coffee (which I love). We ordered the loaded fries, which came with taziki sauce, feta cheese, and tabouleh. Usually loaded fries feel very heavy and greasy, but these tasted very fresh. For the main dish, we ordered the Elias Gyro and the Layla Gyro. My pallet is usually more oriented towards lots of flavor and spice, so I found the Layla Gyro to be lighter than I would have liked. There wasn't as much sauce as I was expecting, but it was still very moist. I loved the pickled vegetables in it, but I wasn't a huge fan of the fries. The Elias Gyro was a lot more flavor heavy thanks to the garlic sauce, which was delicious. The meat in both gyros was cooked perfectly. Lastly, we had the baklava. Ive never had baklava before so I have nothing to compare it to, but oh my goodness it was so good. Overall, super positive experience. It's always such a treat to see the owner walking around interacting with customers, and I would definitely go again whenever I want something light and fresh.
