    It was ok. Good portions, but the pics on the menu seemed a bit different from what we got. Also we asked for like that garlic cream sauce that I've def had at other Mediterranean spots and they looked at me like I was crazy lol.

    Lamb and Beef Gyro Wrap
    Hansel F.

    Park Gyro's is an easy pick up near Golden Gate Park. I got the wrap for easy take out or eat inside. The interior is beautiful and reminds me of Greece. The plates caught my eye and I really liked the pictures of the dishes on the wall. The gyro wrap was loaded. More than a snack it's a meal in one. I recommend this place for Mediterranean food.

    This was my gyro wrap, Not a Pita gyro  in a pocket..

    The energy and attention was existing and the location near Holden gate park was just what the Dr. ordered for a getaway day try something different. I placed my order for a Lamb-Gyro . They offer a wrap and it's a combo lamb/Beef. I asked for extra Yogurt and spicy sauces. Sadly my food was cold,the sauce and yogurt were on the side. I was in a bit of a hurry when he said &16; I left him a $20 and confirmed the sauces were inside with feta he said yes. Not the case. Bordering on 3.5.. I will try again as it seems the food was tasty just cold for to go..

    My husband and I walked about 7 miles in Golden Gate Park and we were ready for a nice meal. An important note in this restaurant: in a city where restaurant turn over is all too common, this place has been here for over a decade. I use to come here when I went to college up here. Run, don't walk. The level of service from who I have to assume is the owner was unparalleled and also non existent nowadays. It is worth a visit to continue to support someone who operates with that level of service. So the ambiance is 10x fold incredible because of this sweet man! He helped us start and end our meal plan right with Turkish tea and Turkish coffee and some sweet treats. I am a sucker for gyro anywhere and they have the lamb-beef which the plates come with rice, and salad and tzatziki and piping hot pita for $19.99.

    People here are so nice. The owner sits there and becomes one of us. We asked for more bread, and they just brought more to us. We went to the park and decided to walk around for someone light bites. The food is delicious, fresh, and comes with a relatively big portion. The place is very cute, family style, and efficient. The guy I was here with left me, but I am taking this spot.

    I can hardly believe I'm able to leave a review for a restaurant featuring a Mediterranean cuisine. It is not that I don't like Greek and Turkish food; the problem is my food allergies, which so often keep me from being able to eat it. Park Gyros, on 9th Ave., near Lincoln Way and19th Ave, was a great experience. I visited last Saturday evening, around 7 pm, with a group of 6 women. We'd just been to the fabulous Lightscape at the Botanic Gardens and we were cold and hungry. Trying to decide amongst the options that were there (there are many) we saw that the restaurant was busy, and we took that as a good sign. Entering the bright cheery interior, we found a four-top table right away; while we were trying to figure out if it was okay to move two chairs from another table, the owner came out from behind the counter and moved a two top and chairs for us, making a perfectly sized table for us. As we got into line to order, the people leaving (adults AND children) raved to us about how good the food is, particularly recommending the falafel meal. A man with three children came in and when the kids saw a big box of Godiva chocolates behind the counter, the owner noticed. Checking first with the parent, he offered the children a chocolate and then turned to ask my friends and I if we would like one, as well. Ummm...who turns down a Godiva chocolate on a cold evening?? Reader...we did not. Anyway, our food was delicious and the servings are generous. We ordered Moussaka, Falafel Plates, Lavosh Roll (one salmon and one turkey), Spanokopita, and Lentil Soup. Everyone was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The owner served us complimentary Turkish tea that had a nice light cardamom flavor. At the end of the meal, we were each treated to a piece of Baklava. TBH, I don't typically like baklava--it can be too sweet for me and the nuts too finely ground. This baklava had bright green pistachios, perfectly chopped, the phyllo was flaky, and there was very little syrupy-sweetness. It was a perfect bite of something sweet to end the meal. This is a crazy long review, I know, but Park Gyros is really good. Don't be deceived by the simple and unassuming exterior...if you like Greek and Turkish food, you have to stop by.

    Absolutely wonderful experience! Stopped in today to take a peek and Ali insisted we try the spanakopita -- and wow, what a treat! He brought us the most delicious coffees and even Turkish delight to enjoy. His hospitality was unmatched and the food was every bit as good as he promised. From fresh, authentic Mediterranean flavors to warm, welcoming service, this spot is a true gem. Can't wait to get back for the shish kabob! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Greek/Turkish/Mediterranean food with a personal touch.

    Lamb and Beef Gyro Wrap Bundle
    Scott L.

    Had the Lamb Beef Gyro to go. The gyro had many slices of meat but was dry and tasteless. Expensive for what you get and the only plus is the location near GGP. Workers are not the friendliest and I wouldn't go back for the food or service.

    Turkish delight and baklava
    Anna W.

    It's like you've known someone for a long time and all of the sudden you notice that they are a baddie! How many times have I driven or walked by this restaurant?! Too many! And this was the 1st time I've eaten here! I ordered a kofte wrap, red lentil soup, and baklava. I asked how the lentil soup was and he gave me a 1/4 bowl to try! It was so good! Not too rich not too thick just right. Savory & warm like a hug. And when the owner packed my baklava he snuck in some Turkish treat I have never had before! He put that in there to make come back again. He had a knowing smile when I asked for the dessert. They tasted just-made light and crispy baklava. Sweet thinly sliced Turkish treat with nuts and nougat, makes me want it now again! I had to share with my sister. She was also loved it. The wrap satisfied my beefy/ lamby meat craving, salty but balanced with the flatbread and lettuce and sauce. I ordered for takeout took maybe 10 mins to prepare. The restaurant is on the corner of 9th Ave and Lincoln Way. It's very open so you can look out and people watch. It's clean and warm. I would like to go back to try their Turkish coffee. I once had Turkish coffee in LA I was super amped as it was strong I walked that day from Beverly Hills to Korea town. Don't sleep on this sweet corner spot. Fill yourself with goodness. Get it here! Get it often. Healthier than some other places. My dr said the best diet is the Mediterranean diet. Start here.

    Baklava with Pistachio
    James H.

    What a great spot. I was greeted by the owner and I asked him what was his favorite dish. He told me the chicken kebab plate was his favorite, so I took his advice. He personally served me and made sure that I was well accommodated. As I was halfway done with my meal, he brought out some baklava on the house. The food was delicious and the baklava was one of the best that I've had. Great clean environment with a gracious host. Would eat here regularly.

    We had chicken and beef kebabs on skewers, beef kofte, gyros, a huge fresh salad, rice, and two kinds of sauce.
    Viktoriia P.

    I ordered catering from this restaurant and everything was absolutely delicious. Ali delivered everything right to my house, and the packaging was perfect -- he brought utensils, paper plates, napkins, everything we needed. I wish I had taken a better picture, but the moment we opened the trays, the guests started eating with such pleasure! We had chicken and beef kebabs on skewers, beef kofte, gyros, a huge fresh salad, rice, and two kinds of sauce. The food was so flavorful, and we got so many compliments -- especially on the skewers! I'll definitely be ordering from them again.

    Vsevolod K.

    I opened Yelp just out of curiosity to look up this restaurant, since I've stayed here more than once. I was surprised to see a 3.7 rating, because in my opinion this is the best shawarma I've ever had -- it's actually called "Lamb Beef." Out of all I've tried, this one is the most delicious, and the staff is really nice. And let Yelp just try to delete my review -- I'll still keep coming here, because the food is really delicious, the prices are reasonable, and it's on my way home. Guys, you're doing a great job. Your food is really delicious. Thank you for such warm hospitality.

    Visiting Kokkari Estiatorio had been on my restaurant bucket list for years, and when it was my…read moreturn to choose a spot for our celebratory team lunch, no one was opposed to dining at Kokkari Estiatorio. I booked our table about a month in advance, which turned out to be the right move because the restaurant was bustling during the lunch hour. To start, we ordered four small plates to share among our party of four: meatballs, saganaki, spanakotiropita, and a pair of dips (melitzanosolata and favasalata) with pita. Everything was excellent, and our spread was inclusive of a wide variety of flavors and textures: salty, creamy, acidic, sweet, crunchy. The meatballs and the dips are definitely a must-order and are ideal for sharing. The spanakotiropita were larger and more filling than expected, so if I were to order those again, I'd dial it back and stick with small plates rather than a full-sized entree. The saganaki was a showstopper; it is served sizzling and crackling on a cast iron dish and had a nice salty flavor that allowed the cheese to be served on its own. For my main dish, I ordered the braised goat - which is not something I'd typically order because goat meat is usually tough - but I was intrigued how it was prepared as a stew. The dish almost reminded me of a Moroccan tagine - the goat was braised to peak tenderness and bathed in a slightly fruity and well-spiced sauce; dotted with pieces of melted feta; and served on top of a bed of baked orzo, which was served fresh-from-the oven in a mini cast iron dish. I was so full after our meal that I had to walk it off for a few blocks, but I cannot wait for our next special occasion so we can come back and celebrate with another feast at Kokkari Estiatorio.

Yes, it's a somewhat expensive dining experience but you are paying for top notch service and great quality food. I am not talking about these cheap midnight specials in Las Vegas. This is type of food where you take your time eating to savor your food to taste the silky texture of the meat or let the sauce soak into the octopus appetizer to soften it and tastes good. I would have ordered a salad but with the health scare of salads recall made me hesitant to order any, although the specials sounded great! You can still cannot go wrong as every dish was great experience and great execution. Love the melted cheeses in appetizer and custard in dessert with pistachio ice cream! The meats really shined as we asked for medium rare and both steak and lamb chops cooked perfectly. Would I go back? , oh yeah and splurge on this place for sure. It just felt special to me. That flourless cake by kitchen I was debating should I take the whole thing and run? lol Restroom is a maze I do must say as you take an elevator one level down.

My son loved his lamb gyro which disappeared in an instant (his big eyes signaled he wanted my sandwich too- I handed it over.)

The service apparently called out sick. Let's start with the good news: the food was genuinely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The mint lemonade was bright and refreshing. The chicken skewers were flavorful and perfectly cooked (though surprisingly small). The halumi salad with eggplant was a generous portion. Now for the "Mooore" part. I was hoping the restaurant's name was also a mission statement. However, we could have used more attentive service. More follow-through. More toilet paper... Unfortunately, once we were seated, we were essentially released into the wild. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code, which is perfectly fine in theory. In practice, it felt like sending requests into the void. A drink I ordered never appeared. Nobody checked on the table, so I had to get up and walk to the counter to ask about it. Later, I had to make another trip to remind them we had ordered dessert. Then another trip when we wanted a to-go box. Apparently, the evening's theme was "interactive dining," where the guests perform most of the customer service duties themselves. Tips are forced when you first order online - no refunds on that. The bathroom offered its own adventure. The trash bin was overflowing with dirty paper towels, and there was little to no toilet paper available. As the daughter of a health inspector, knowing that staff use the same facility, I would have given this a poor hygiene grade. What made the experience frustrating was that the food was good enough to make you want to come back. But when your guests spend half the meal looking for someone to help them, it takes away from what could have been a 'more' pleasant evening.

Pita was swimming in hummus. Why not, cus they give you plenty of hummus in that bowl. How many times did I shout "delicious" throughout and after this meal. Maybe 4 times. Am I talking to myself or to my friend. Doesn't matter. Sangria available in glass, half, and full size So clean inside. Got that new restaurant feel.

    I've only had the falafel burger and the falafel plate, and both were delicious. The fries are also…read morereally good. As a takeout place, Gyros and Tzatziki normally gets four stars, but as a restaurant, it's definitely three stars, and I'll tell you why. This place needs better management. Failing that, one of the three guys who is normally working when I come needs to take charge, because the current setup isn't working. You order at the counter, which is common at many San Francisco restaurants. One of the three guys will help you, but sometimes, one of them is just sitting or standing a few feet away from the cash register, but he won't acknowledge your presence. It's as if only people who will actually take your order are allowed to speak to you. Once you do (eventually) place your order, you're in for a wait. If you're eating in, that's all right, because the food is definitely worth the wait, and the small seating area is normally comfortable. If you're taking it to go, however, they refuse to say anything about where to be while waiting. I normally just sit down at an empty table because I know it will be awhile, but when I stand, I always feel like I'm in someone's way. When they're busy, not only does your food take forever to come out, but the service just goes out the window. Again, only three guys working, including the chef, but why does one of the remaining two guys always seem to be so stand-around-looking-dumb lazy? And the funny part is that it's not always the same guy; the one I used to think was a hard worker was sitting in a chair near the back last time I came. It was like he was in a timeout; he wasn't looking at his phone, just yelling random things to the cook occasionally while the other poor guy had to deal with four different parties eating in, plus all the to-go orders. So order it to go before you arrive. Or sit down and try to figure out what's going on.

    Overall really good Mediterranean food - I came to try Beit Rima after hearing great reviews from…read morefriends and loved how flavorful and generous the portions are. My friend and I got the fattoush salad to share along with the Chicken Shish Tawook plate and Musakhan for entrees. The salad was a nice fresh start and the charred dates added a nice sweetness. Loved the juicy chicken kebobs with a side of their delicious hummus. The musakhan had to be my favorite bite though, the chicken is so tender and flavorful and goes really well with the toasted pita. I would come back just for this dish alone! It's a counter-order restaurant which i didn't expect but it makes it a super quick sit-down restaurant to stop at and I loved sitting on their outdoor patio considering it was a nice sunny SF Sunday!

    I'd give this place about 3.5 stars. The food was good, but…read moreI've definitely had better elsewhere. I ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate, and while the meat was flavorful, I wish they included more hummus. At around $25- $30 per plate, I expected a more generous portion. I ordered takeout and arrived about an hour later because the app never updated to show my order was ready. Surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't very busy, and they didn't start preparing my food until I got there. I mentioned that I had placed the order an hour earlier and expected it to be ready, but the server seemed to brush off my concern, which was disappointing. One highlight was the hot sauce. I'm not sure if it's house-made or not, but it's so good. The pita, however, was a letdown. I prefer my pita soft, fluffy, and warm, but this one was hard and grainy. Overall, it's a cute restaurant with decent food, but it isn't my top choice.

    Set your expectations right and this place is close to perfect: it's a small counter spot near 16th…read moreSt BART, mostly takeout, a few stools inside and a couple of tables out front. It is not a sit-down restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is consistently excellent food at prices that still make sense in a city where that's getting rare. We're regulars, and we usually go on Sunday evenings after my girlfriend gets off work. Falafel wrap and chicken shawarma are our usual order -- the falafel has that crisp-shell, tender-middle thing going, and the wraps are generously built. We've branched out plenty and everything we've tried has been good. The other reason we keep showing up is the people. Turna usually takes our order, and she is genuinely lovely -- friendly in a way that isn't a customer-service script. My girlfriend and I always walk out in a better mood than we walked in with, which is worth a lot. Practical notes: halal, lots of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, open until midnight Fri/Sat, and they cater. Grab some napkins if you're eating the wrap on the move -- it's a big one, and that's a compliment.

    Solid Mediterranean spot. The meat tastes fresh, and you can actually see it being prepped when you…read moreorder, which is always a good sign. I'm a big fan of the chicken shawarma--it's really flavorful and hits the spot when it's done right. That said, on a couple of my previous orders the meat was a bit on the dry side, but I still find myself coming back because when it's on point, it's really good. Staff is friendly, and most of the time you can stand on their ledges to eat or sit outside. There were 2 small tables that seat 2-3 per table. Pro tip: ask for the tahini and hot sauce on the side and load it into your wrap--it takes it up a notch.

The clean your table for faster turnaround and they take care of the dirty dishes as I couldn't find a garbage can to throw my sandwich wrapper away. My companions and I came right on time on Sunday afternoon, the start of the lunch crowd around 1pm because the line line was forming to purchase, get a number and look for a table. It was a nice and sunny day in the Mission District. I couldn't decide if I wanted sandwich or salad. I went with the lamb which contained THOMAS FARMS LAMB LEG Harissa-Spiked Yogurt, Cucumber, Radish, Pickled Red Onion, Feta Cheese and one friend ordered the salad version of THOMAS FARMS LAMB LEG that had Harissa-Spiked Yogurt, Cucumber, Radish, Pickled Red Onion, Feta Cheese. This was perfect fulfilling and yummy in my tummy. Love to come here if I was in the area. One companion has strict dietary restrictions and it makes it had to find a place but this place is perfect. Healthy eating and it tastes good! And she was happy with her meal. They clean the tables pretty fast turn around and we lucky got a table. Good quality food and I had to get the frozen Greek Yogurt with honeycomb which brought back memories of Athens. Again another home run place to eat at. I never had a bad experience l.

As long as your expectations are set, you're likely to love it. My favorites are with honey or cherry. It's a refreshing piece of Europe tucked away on a small storefront in the city. Plus, the staff is always pleasant and efficient.

    Review only on their frozen greek yogurt!…read more This has been on my list to try and actually wasn't on my list to try on my last trip to SF, however, I stumble upon it while going to eat next door. Parking is meter street parking. I would try across the street if you can't find any close by. I knew I had to order their frozen yogurt. They offer a couple of choices for topping with the frozen yogurt like sour cherry syrup, olive oil and flaky sea salt, baklava crumbles and honey syrup, and lastly, wildflower honey. I ended up going with the frozen yogurt topped with baklava. First off, the frozen yogurt is super tart but the baklava is the great addition to balance it out. It made me keep on going back for another spoonful. I really enjoy it and its something I do think and crave for. Overall, come here if you want some frozen yogurt!

    Finally got a chance to try the frozen yogurt with baklava at Souvla for a refreshing sweet treat…read more I came by around 6 p.m. and the spot had a couple of folks but it wasn't too busy. I ordered on the left counter, which was fast and straightforward. Their server was quick and I got my yogurt in seconds. Even though there was plenty of seating at the restaurant itself, I decided to take it to go. Inside, it was very bright, though, and it seemed great if you want to bring friends to eat and hang out. The yogurt itself was nice and tart, and the baklava was good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the combination together. I think the dish is nice but not something I'd say you have to try.
