    Lamb gyro with French fries
    Danielle B.

    I have been eating here since 2007 when I moved to Kentucky. The location has since moved but still providing good customer service and good food. There is nothing fancy about this place but it's clean and nice to sit and have lunch and conversation.

    I found this gem in a Facebook group. It's close to my job and the food is made fresh. Will visit again.

    Lamb gyro

    Food And service was great. I usually have my gyros deconstructed during purchase -small box of Lamb -pita bread (4) -cucumbers -tomatoes or olives -cucumber sauce in a cup. Then once home or work, reconstruct the above into the uploaded photo.

    Gyro Platter! W/ extra Pita.

    Outstanding food, even better value, always great service! I have never had better Gyros even in Tarpon Springs!

    Sandwich and fries
    Clint L.

    Needed a quick bite to eat, and since my wife isn't with me on business, I can try some local gyros. So I stopped at Sam's Gyros. I had a sandwich combo with fries and a soda. The fries were just fries, and they put some seasoning on them. But like I said, just fries. I was here for the gyro! It was really good and there was a lot to the order!! Probably should have ordered some extra pita bread, because there's plenty of meat and toppings. Speaking of toppings, you can select from lots of choices. Not many gyro restaurants offer this many toppings. Onion, tomato, feta, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, and more. My only complaint?? Not a fan of their tzatziki sauce!! Very thin and runny, and absorbed quickly by the sandwich. I ordered a side of extra sauce, and I probably should have ordered even more. I was not impressed by the sauce. The service was quick, and the restaurant was clean. I just recommend bringing your own sauce.

    Ate here before Louder Than Life 23. The food here was great and sizable portions. The only down side is the gyro meat had was a tad cold. I would highly recommend Sams Gyros.

    I stop in often and they are consistently great. Food is delicious and portions are generous. Staff provides professional and courteous service. Excellent for a quick lunch spot or grabbing dinner to go.

We couldn't decide what to order, so we ended up trying a little bit of everything. The tabbouleh, hummus, falafel, and spinach pie were all fantastic. Every single side was fresh and packed with flavor. The sauces deserve their own shoutout. I would happily take home a gallon of the garlic sauce, and the tzatziki was just as addictive. My husband ordered the Mediterranean salad, and my daughter and I shared the kids' shawarma plate. The salad was massive with a beautiful variety of fresh vegetables. The beef shawarma was incredibly tender, and the basmati rice was perfectly cooked. One thing that really stood out to me was the hospitality. While we were there, a family came in just before closing and asked if they could still be served. Without hesitation, the staff welcomed them in and accommodated them with such kindness. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. You can tell there's real care behind every ingredient and every interaction. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and homemade. It left us feeling satisfied without feeling heavy, which isn't always easy to find when eating out. Safier is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive staff. Fresh food! I saw halloumi on the menu so that was our appetizer. It came with pita, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It was perfection! When they brought it out, they also brought us a bowl of salad. We're not entirely sure if one of our meals came with a salad(probably weren't paying attention) and we weren't in a salad mood. We each took one bite of the salad and almost fought over it lol. We licked the bowl clean. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! My wife ordered the salmon. It came with veggies and rice. She loved it! It definitely filled her up and since we were taking a cruise, it felt ideal to eat fish. I went with the steak shawarma. I wanted something a bit lighter since we were going to be out most of the evening. It was perfect too! I opted for rice as my side and that's probably the only thing I messed up on. There's generally not a thing as too much rice but it was nearly a plate full. Once I ran out of steak, there's no way I could've scarfed the rest of that rice down. I was stuffed in the best way. Once we finished, I went up to pay. The guy(I assume the owner) asked how things were and of course I replied amazing! Every single thing we had here was fresh! My only regret honestly is that I hadn't been to this place until now. It's certainly the best Mediterranean food I've had in the area. We plan to come back!

I was able to ask questions on the Open table app about reservation and options available at such a later dinner time. They said everything would be available except when we got there the branzino wasn't available which was fine, we didn't want it anyways. Our server Colton was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of the menu drinks and what was available. We did end up ordering some drinks. The Gazoz (nonalcoholic) & CSA sour both great and the flavors were very pleasing. We already browsed at the menu beforehand so we went in knowing we were going to get the Shefha, I let the birthday boy make the picks we got the crispy cauliflower and og hummus with the lamb and kept everything else as is and of course we got the included dessert plus a knafeh for the birthday boy. I don't want to spoil anything, but the food was exceptional! There was no crumbs left from us, we devoured everything that was brought out. We loved all the flavors profiles and the timing of each dish was perfect. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Colton was excellent throughout the entire meal, checking in on us and the rest of the servers who brought out the dishes were excellent at explaining the dishes to us. Our water cups were never empty and the vibes were so relaxed and casual. We will definitely be back because we fell in love with a few dishes that we can't stop thinking about and will have to come back. Definitely for the chocolate babka!

Our reservation was at 8:45 p.m., and the staff made us feel rushed to order and finish our meal. I understand that the kitchen and restaurant need to close, but reservations should not be offered that late if guests cannot enjoy the full dining experience without feeling rushed.
