This review is for the food truck that comes occasionally to Pleasant Hill BART station. I stopped by at noon and the line was short. I asked which gyro was better and was told to get the chicken, so I did. He also asked me if I wanted it spicy and I said I did. The gyro prep didn't take long. Back at work, I noticed that making it "spicy" meant drizzling generous amounts of red sauce over it, which is not what I expected (or wanted). Once I scraped the spicy red sauce off, I found the gyro to be flavorful - the chicken was especially well cooked and tasty. And it was generously filled, which I appreciated, as I was HUNGRY! Will be back for the non-spicy version! read more

4.5 stars Got the lamb and rice plate. Big on flavor. Tasty white and red sauce so make sure they load it up. Red sauce isn't really spicy like other not-to-be mentioned halal type places, so could be bumped up. Nice that the metal comes with salad too The lamb was good and seasoned well, though had more of a meatloaf/formed type of texture like gyro meat, rather than whole muscle, but that wasn't an issue. Enjoyable meal read more

Had their chicken gyro once and found myself not being able to stop eating. Came back to try their chicken shish kebab wrap. There were 4 pieces of semi-large chicken pieces (great flavor), lettuce, tomatoes and sauce. They give you extra hot sauce & yogurt sauce on the side. Large wraps, worth the price. I would come back to try the shish kebab rice plate next time! read more

Seriously so bomb!! Perfect bar food and conveniently located right next to the bar (outside) We ordered the lamb fries and it exceeded my expectations! The fries were perfectly crispy and the lamb pieces were so tender. Literally the best lamb fries I couldve asked for. He asked for our preferred spice level and let us know that spicy was pretty spiceyyy so watch out haha You can get a side of fries and/or pita bread if you want to get a plate with rice instead. HIGHLY recommend if youre in the Walnut Creek area! Thanks so much yall read more

I got to try King Gyro while visiting Retro Junkie in Walnut Creek on a Friday night to enjoy classic rock songs being performed by the Fooz Fighters. Retro Junkie regularly hosts live concerts featuring cover bands and has a different food truck on site each night. So there were no other food options at the venue this past Friday, but our experience with this halal food truck turned out being better than expected. We got the lamb gyro and lamb over rice platter, and both were pretty good. I'm usually not too fond of the gamy taste of lamb, but it wasn't so pungent at King Gyro and was flavored really nicely, in fact I could have mistaken it for beef. The white sauce wasn't overdone and balanced really well with the seasoned rice and fresh veggies. So even if I wouldn't consider it the best Greek food in the bay area, overall my meal was quite satisfying. In addition, service was friendly and pretty standard, and the wait time was about 10 minutes with no guests in front of us. read more

Ordered food from this food truck at a Pleasant Hill event today. No problem with the food however, the cashier did try to charge me extra for food that I did not order. She did not read back my order and simply added some extra food onto my order. Luckily, I was able to catch it in time. be sure to double check your receipt. read more

Fries say $15.99 and he charged me $18.. he added his own tip.. Double check before you tap!! read more

King Gyro And Kabob - Be careful when you Tap to pay - Food Trucks Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

First time trying this place. Saw the reviews of the food truck, called and confirmed that the same menu is available in the brick & mortar location. Walked in a little before 6pm on a Friday. I assume the guy who took care of me is the owner. He was very friendly and helpful - we chatted as he prepared my order. No one else came in, no phone calls, he wasn't working on other orders. I hope things get busier - the community needs to support this place! I had the combo, which is lamb, chicken, rice, lettuce, tzatziki, and pickled onions, cucumber, etc. Every single ingredient was excellent. Portions are huge! I have enough leftover for another meal. Comes with a can of soda. I'll definitely go back. I hope he brings the food truck to the Pleasant Hill Off The Grid, as that's easily accessible for me. Good business development too. I've driven by this corner for 25 years. Shopped in the little market next door. But never set foot in the takeout place in any of its iterations. The sandwich menu looks good, as does the pizza. The owner is there to please... I asked about pizza style, and he replied that he makes his own dough and will roll it thin or thick, depending on customer desires. Customer service like that barely exists anymore. C'Mon Pleasant Hill, keep this place going! read more

Found this place in a search for late night food. I thought it would be a restaurant but it turned out to be a food truck! So glad we found it! The flavors were great! I had the combo wrap and the lamb and chicken were delicious! It is a little bit of a a soup sandwich- but i accepted the challenge and dove in. It was so satisfying! Will definitely go back when i am in the area next time! read more

Ive seen their truck around wc but never get the chance to go so i was excited to find out they opened a storefront off Pleasant Hill rd. I was not disappointed! We got the combo lamb and chicken. Meat has a ton of flavor and rice was too. White sauce is super good. Another huge bonus is owners are very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend and will be back soon read more

We finally got around to trying King for lunch today and now wonder why we waited so long. We both had the lamb gyro and everything about it was fresh and delicious. I was expecting the lamb/beef to be thin like it was shaved off a vertical rotisserie, but it was in cubes like a grilled lamb kabob, which was okay with me. Pickup was ready when the online order said it would be. Happy to support another excellent Pleasant Hill small business! read more

We ordered a food truck for my son's birthday and this truck was a hit. The food was fresh and delicious! Everyone was impressed. Many friends asked for their contact info, as well. They communicated well leading up to the event and were flexible with any last minute changes! Thank you so much guys! read more

This place really lacked flavor and any reminisce of halal food. Started off bad by getting our order wrong. Then continued when he pulled meat from a pre cooked tray instead of a spit. Lastly, they used sriracha for their hot sauce - what a joke. The meat was bland, the sauces were lacking and the combo plate was tiny compared to other pictures I've seen. & it was overpriced. $25 for two combo plates. Would NOT recommend if you're craving halal. read more

I enjoyed the falafel yesterday. It was possibly the best falafel I have ever had! It was fresh, hot, perfectly seasoned & beautifully accompanied by basmati rice & a fresh salad. I will be back soon! read more

I had the falafel plate for takeout. The food was excellent. The falafel was crisp and light and the rice was flavorful. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be coming for more! read more

So happy to see this business in my neighborhood! Food was so so good. We had pizza, calzone and a Mediterranean meal. A family all working together to make a great experience! read more

This review is for their physical location called King pizza and Kebab. I had a craving for halal chicken and rice combo and saw this spot in pleasant hill. I yelped them and saw that they are from the same owner as the food truck. The combo rice plate was very good and generous portions! The owner was really nice and he even gave me a baklava for having to wait while the rice was still being cooked. They took over siren's deli. I also ordered a sandwich which was also amazing. I will definitely be back! Nice to finally have a restaurant here that has the chicken/gyro combo rice plates food cart style! read more

Basically what I fear when ordering a Gyro, guy enters truck and dumps pre cooked meat chopped up and sitting in a bin into a cold pita with some lettuce and sauces the top. Assembly time a minute or two but quality not worth the time or money. Suggest they study how a real gyro is assembled at any one of thousands of trucks or restaurants if they want customers to return. A few stars because the pita was fresh at least (not warmed though) and the lamb not rancid or anything (not warm, certainly not fresh carved as it is supposed to be, and certainly not even reheated on a grill). A lazy mans half hearted effort at fast food to quickly get back outside and socialize with his friend. Service was friendly though and everything seemed clean. No way worth $12 for a gyro and suspect a falafel would have not been cooked fresh either, but spooned out of a bin, cooked a long time ago like this lamb was. Not sure where these other reviews ate. Maybe they have never eaten a properly prepared Gyro, falafel, Shwarma or similar foods from Greece, Turkey and the region. Its not that I expect perfection from a truck, but this was the gyro equivalent of a microwave frozen hamburger when one expects it cooked on a grill. There were no other customers and no wait and I suspect I know why. Up your game guys, food is a competitive world in the bay area. Dissappointed enough to spend the time to write a rare review. read more

Lowest quality of food I ever ate they will rip u off very very bad expansive n nasty food tasteless

We hired Sayed for a baby shower at our home. He was amazingly easy to work with, punctual, and made wonderful food for our family and friends. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food itself was excellent. I had the lamb over rice and the nachos. Both fabulous. Highly recommend and will be having them back over again. read more

Cannot say enough good things about Sayed and his crew! King Gyro came out to our event called Pub in the Park in Pleasant Hill and they were the perfect addition to our beerfest. The Gyro is my personal fave, the sauce, the meat, the salad toppings! Oh man! They are delicious! Do not skip the baklava!!! The food truck had a line almost the entire event and truly served up food quick. I recommend them for big events, easy to work with and efficient. Cannot wait to eat their food and work with them in the future!! Thank you King Gyro!!! read more

King Gyro & Kabob served dinner tonight at our apartment complex in San Ramon. As other reviewers have stated, the food truck was clean and organized and the staff was very helpful. I was able to call--in my order and then walk over to pick it up. We ordered the Combo Gyro and the Pita Nachos. More than enough food for two of us. Not only was it priced fairly, it was amazingly fresh, and so tasty, too. We look forward to their returning, in the near future, as we will definitely order from them whenever they are here. read more

With out a doubt the most delicious freshest food I have had in a long time. The best part it is 100% Halal!!! Yes this is a good truck but it is the cleanest food truck I have seen. The entire kitchen is a giant glass wall and completely transparent. I can definitely be assured that my meal is prepared to perfection, while following the Covid-19 guidelines of cleanliness and consistent sanitizing and social distancing. The menu is simple and provides a variety of flavor for every pallet. Let's talk about cleanliness being an absolute priority by the management staff of this fine establishment on wheels. Next is the use of the freshest ingredients from the fresh iceberg lettuce, crisp cucumbers and vibrant and juicy tomatoes. All drizzled with the house made white sauce, which provides an absolute complement to the garden-fresh salad. Next let us talk about the vibrant menu providing choices for all differ pallets. There are choices for the vegan patron having seasoned long grain basmati brown rice, delicious falafels, warm pita bread and crisp salad. For the non vegan patron there is a variety of gyro specialties from lamb gyro, chicken gyro, chicken kabobs all made on a bed of seasoned long grain basmati brown rice and a side of the garden-fresh salad. Additionally, theses gyros variety are also provided in a wrap version. For the healthy Parton, everything is 100% Halal; all these gyro specialties and falafels are available over a salad. I like my food spicy and the owner is makes my no. 1 combo with special attention and extra spicy. Another one of my favorites from kingGyro&Kabob food truck is the meet fries. Fries topped with gyro and chicken is absolutely perfection. An explosion of delicious and savory flavors from the Mediterranean and middle eastern foods. Well deserved 5 start review! I am definitely a fan. I added the menu to this review and also the link to the Instagram Page. Link: https://instagram.com/kinggyro1?igshid=1ahrmkmomxjd4 P.S. I am absolutely addicted to this food am I am the sure you all will be as well!! read more

Food is awesome. Chicken or lamb over salad is good, or get the combo plate. You can't go wrong.

I had a lamb gyro from here last month when they visited my apartment complex but accidentally published the review to the wrong place! oops - Glad they came back!! I had the lamb gyro and it was awesome! The meat was tender and packed with flavor, veggies were fresh, bread was perfect, and the sauce had just the right amount of tanginess! Yummm! Oh, and don't forget to order french fries with white sauce! OMG... soooo good! There are several different gyro trucks that make the rounds to my apartment complex and this is definitely our favorite! Keep coming back to Woodcreek apartments please! read more

Best Halal Food truck in the bay area!! Sayed is such a nice person and the food is top rated!! Excellent! A+++

If I could possibly give more than 5 stars, I would give at least a thousand!!! EVERYTHING about Sayed, his crew, and his food was PERFECT! Sayed is so friendly and so helpful. He is serious about his business and works hard to make certain everyone is 100% satisfied. He is also a man of his word. Even though our location was difficult to reach, he said he would be there, and sure enough, he was there. His crew is polite, hard working, and professional about their work. I appreciate such good workers. The FOOD: From this day forward, I will judge all Greek food by King Gyro and Kabob. I love Greek food (I love almost all food), and I eat it often. The food prepared by Sayed and his crew was without question, the best Greek food I have ever tasted. Fresh, seasoned perfectly, and incredibly delicious!! If you have a party that needs catering, call Sayed. If you love Greek food, call Sayed. If you are hungry, call Sayed. Thank you Sayed! While my new granddaughter was the star of the party, you, your crew, and your food was made it a success. Everyone loved your food! read more

We tried King Gyro yesterday when they visited Dublin. Really great food - got a few combo platters (chicken and lamb gyro over rice) and fries. The meat was perfectly seasoned and veggies tasted fresh. Great meal! read more

The food was good. The service was ridiculous. Our company had king gyro provide food for an event. I ordered the meat fries and the food was amazing. I wanted to order another serving to take home and the guy told me that I could only order once. Meanwhile, I witnessed several women from my company order seconds. So I guess, the guys in the truck will give women extra orders of food but ask the guys if they already ordered? Absolutely ridiculous. I will make sure that our company NEVER asks them to cater an event ever again. read more

This place is the best the wraps are amazing and the butter chicken is delicious

This place is so good! I love when I see their truck around! They have great kabobs and gyros but for someone like me who is vegetarian and gluten-free (celiac) they even offer delicious options! I was able to get myself a falafel plate with no pita chips (to make it GF) it was amazing! I'll definitely be back. read more

I had them for my husband's 40th birthday party. They arrived on time. The food was delicious and fresh. Their service was amazing. They made sure guests got what they wanted. I would definitely recommend them. My guests are still raving about their food and service. Try them and you won't be disappointed. read more

Super delicious falafel. The rice is to die for. A little pricey for food truck food but it still hit the spot!

This is my new favorite spot! I came here on lunch & there was no lime at 1pm! Food was made super fast. Insanely great customer service. Very generous portions, reasonably priced & super delicious! They were so kind & welcoming. They even had a table & chairs out so you don't have to eat in your car. read more

Food is decent but the portion is surprisingly small. Box they provide isn't big and it's barely half full

We had the pleasure with working with King Gyro and Kabob for my son's 3rd birthday party. King Gyro and his team is very responsive and they provide quality customer service. Very kind to party guest and flexible with me (the host). Their menu has alot of options, meat french fries was a hit ar our party. Our guest enjoyed their service and food. read more
