Outstanding! Wonderful service, great food, and a good ambiance. Isabella was a nice server who visited our table often. Louie, one of the owners, visited with us twice and proudly showed his art work. And he also cooked our food and treats. We have frequented six or seven Greek restaurants over the past three years and the Blue Donkey has had the best food so far. The Greek fries and baklava cheese cake were exceptional. Gyros and salads had a wonderful flavor that left you wanting more. So if you get the chance, stop in to enjoy their menu. read more

This is some of the best Greek food I've had! The portion sizes were HUGE and so good! Even my son, who has never had Greek food ate every single bite. Louie, the owner is so kind, and the person at the register was so patient with us when ordering. My 5 year old kept going to the front to tell them how much he liked the food. I can't even remember what all we had, but the fries were crisp and yummy, the gyro meat was tender and perfection and the tzatziki sauce was delicious! Then the honey dessert (can't remember the name of it) and the baklavas were also delicious! It was quiet, they've only been open about 2 months, but we will definitely be back. I highly recommend if you're looking for great food and a family owned business, check them out. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

On my never-ending quest to find more amazing Greek and Mediterranean food near me, a new restaurant Blue Donkey opened in Gilbert. It's quite hidden from the road and from the parking lot...but it's there tucked away in the elbow of some shops on the SW corner of Gilbert and Queen Creek. This is a typical fast-casual restaurant where you order at the counter and then they bring the food out to your table. The cashier was friendly and helpful and gave me a quick rundown of the menu. They do not have hummus here as she said this is more traditional Greek cuisine and hummus is Middle Eastern. It was a little shocking as they have hamburgers and French Fries prominent on the menu (not Greek). They also don't have Moussaka which is Greek as it gets. I ordered a gyro pita sandwich and made it a combo with a side greek salad and drink cup. All together it was just over $20! I should have looked at their drink selection first because I was disappointed to find a Pepsi fountain and no fresh brewed iced tea. The dining space is small but nicely decorated with colorful walls, including one with a large Blue Donkey. The Greek side salad was small but tasty. I didn't find any tomatoes in it and it didn't come with pita bread. Apparently, the Greek salad as part of a combo isn't the same as the Greek salad on the menu...another little bait and switch tactic I don't appreciate. The gyro was enormous and stuffed with gyro slices off the spit. It was the best part of the meal, but it was definitely a sloppy sandwich with too much Tzatziki and hard to find tomatoes and onions. Overall, my first visit was just okay. It was a hefty price for a salad missing ingredients, a standard gyro and a Pepsi fountain. If I come back, I'll try their souvlaki and probably order a platter. read more

5 stars for customer service and cleanliness of the restaurant. 4 stars for the food. This is a cute fast casual restaurant where you order at the counter, fill up your drink and they bring your food to your table. The seating area is small(ish) so I wouldn't say its a place for large parties. One thing that we loved is they actually have a variety of Greek fries on their menu. Most Greek/Mediterranean restaurants only offer Greek Fries and you have to add protein on top which ends up being very costly. Here they have 4-5 Greek Fry options that include different proteins. You get to select two sauces for the top and they put a generous portion of feta too. The wait wasn't too long to get our food. We all got Greek Fries with Chicken souvlaki on top. One person got the spicy tzatziki and the others go regular. The food was hot and fresh and huge! The chicken was grilled and didn't taste like Greek chicken, more just like grilled chicken. One thing my family and I have always noticed about Mediterranean food is that its very flavorful and packs a punch with flavor. This food we didn't feel it was like that. That isn't a bad thing just different and a bit unexpected. The flavor was delicious however. Was it the best Greek fries I have had, no, but still good. I will give them another try and order something different. Cost for 3 order of Greek Fries with chicken was almost $50. For the portion sizes that seems fair these days. read more

Somebody left a menu for Blue Donkey on my desk in the office the other week so I figured I should try it. It did not disappoint. I ordered online and went to pick it up so service was really easy. The interior looked clean. My bowl was delicious. The chicken was moist and tender and had tons of flavor. Blue Donkey will be added to the lunch rotation. read more

Blue Donkey Greek Eats - Greek Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

We have an embarrassment of riches in Chandler when it comes to Greek Restaurants. I felt like I was cheating on my regular place but wanted to check out the new place. Located in the same shopping center as another favorite, Wok & Sizzle at the Southwest Corner of Queen Creek and Gilbert in Chandler, this place is really good. First off, I was greeted with a smile and enthusiasm and offered a cup for water while I waited. My wife wanted to try the Spanakopita and the Gyro Pita and I couldn't walk away from the register without adding a side of Lemon Potatoes. The place is clean with nice seating but I was bringing it home. I even ordered an extra Tzatziki Sauce but it really wasn't needed as the Gyro was plenty juicy. First we had the Spanakopita which hadn't a hint of grease but was very fluffy and filled with tasty spinach and Feta. Very flaky crust! Next I had to taste the Lemon Potato and it was one of the best I have had. Good size fingerling style Yukon Gold with concentrated but not overbearing flavor of Lemon along with Oregano. They were perfectly cooked. Now to the Gyro, you could easily split one of these. They are stuffed with meat as well as red onion, tomato and tzatziki sauce wrapped in a sturdy yet soft Pitta. This is delicious food and looking forward to trying some of the other dishes. read more

Recently went here for a team lunch and our company had already catered from there for another meeting. The food was very flavorful, staff was nice. Small place and they do get a lunch rush, we had a party of 5 and they even apologized for our wait with sweet treats. That was so nice. We will continue to support this place! read more

Just tried this new Greek spot and I'm already a fan! They just opened and it's a true local mom-and-pop restaurant. The owners are incredibly kind, and the whole place has a welcoming, fast-casual feel that makes you want to come back. And the gyro? Probably the best I've had. The meat was flavorful, seasoned perfectly, and everything came together really well. Definitely give this place some love while they're getting started. You can tell they genuinely care about what they're serving and the community they're serving it to. read more

Highly recommend this place! Split the Hercules platter with my husband- we barely finished it! Potatoes are fabulous, Greek Salad very very good. Had the chicken and gyro- also great. Owner came over to introduce himself- nice kid that you really want to see succeed- so visit this place soon!! read more

I thought this place was just okay. The chicken to me could have been more well seasoned and the tazaki wasn't like a traditional tasting taziki. I might try it one more time but I first try... wasn't really a fan. If I try it again and change my mind I'll update the review. read more

Best Greek place around! And very authentic! Family owned, and they've been serving food for generations. The food is quite frankly amazing. The service and people are wonderful. The inside is very nice, always clean, the art is fresh and unique. Bathrooms are always clean and smell great. They have yummy desserts and unique food items! If you're a poutine fan, get the Blue Donkey fries. They're AMAZING! Top favorite places to eat! We will be coming here regularly! read more

ABSOLUTELY GO! This is a wonderful place to enjoy Greek food! We did take out and everything was fresh and delicious! While waiting on our order(we arrived at restaurant and then ordered) we began talking to the owner and family. Very helpful and a joy to chat with. My sister and I highly recommend this gem! Thank you BLUE DONKEY for making us feel welcome and making delightful conversation and delicious dinner! read more

Wow, found a new neighborhood gem with this new spot! As a full-blooded Greek American and raised on 1000+ year recipes from my ancestors growing up, I have a high bar when it comes to authentic Greek flavors and The Blue Donkey hit on so many marks with the flavors, grill marks and presentation of each item. I was looking for a quick dinner for our family if 4, so ordered the Hercules Platter that gave me two generous proteins (Chicken Souvlaki and Sliced Gyro w/Tzatziki sauce), super flavorful Rice Pilaf, a Greek Salad and a highlight here- the Lemon Potatoes. Bomb. That lemon zing hit me like Yiayia's potatoes did as a kid. Added a Pork Souvlaki for a little extra. Soooo glad I did that. Service was very friendly and the place is new and immaculate. Cool artwork too. I do recommend queuing up some Greek taverna bouzouki music to further transport your guests and you're hitting on all levels. To wrap it up, I had the pleasure of meeting the Father and Son owners and enjoyed connecting with some new Greek business neighbors. I didn't get a chance to meet the Mom, as she was hard at work in the kitchen guiding their new team. I highly recommend this place, and this is coming from a guy named 'Nick the Greek'! Trust me, you'll be glad to tried this place. This food travels well for takeout too. Excited for my new local Greek spot! "Pouli Oreo!!!" read more

Great food and even better hospitality! Loved the chicken souvlaki and the lemon potatoes were fantastic. Will definitely be back! read more

Top tier. Food was delicious, tasted so fresh, great service. We'll be regulars before you know it!

Met a friend and had lunch tried out the gyro. The meat was plentiful the pita was soft the tzatziki sauce had a good taste and had a decent amount. read more

So good and definitely worth it! Blue Donkey is SO good, and the best part is that it's right next to my work! It's a little on the pricey side, but honestly, it's worth every penny. The portions are HUGE, so you definitely get your money's worth. They even gave us complimentary BD honey sticks, which was such a cute touch. I'm sure it's because they're brand new, but the service was great and everyone was so friendly. Just make sure you go when you're not in a rush they take their time cooking everything, but you can tell it's made with love. The food is fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the wait. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Wife and I stopped in. Gyros Pita was good. Just a bit more red onion. The " Blue Donkey" is poutine with Gyros on top. Sounds strange, but it's a winner in my book. Great service. Nice people. Took over a Rosati's pizza read more

The service was great and the food was delicious. Awesome place for an authentic Greek meal.

Not only is the food amazing but the service and attention to the fact we have a celiac and gluten allergy in our family did not go unnoticed. Very knowledgeable and able to tell us what our daughter could or could not have, knew about cross contamination which is pretty rare these days. Louie... you were amazing and the food was on point. We will definitely be back and for you celiacs out there, finally a new spot that can cater to you. read more

The food was incredible and fresh! Loved the creamy feta sauce with my chicken bowl. The Honey Sticks were a delightful treat.

The service was great , it was busy , ordered a pita sandwich, delicious and was brought to the table at a reasonable time due to them being busy for a Saturday night.The ambiance was nice, it was a small restaurant but the staff were sweet and friendly. read more

The food is GENUINE and the best I've had anywhere in Arizona. The gyros are big, juicy and very flavorful! Service is fast and personal, and all workers take a personal interest in ensuring you enjoy your meal.

Came by today with my family to try this new restaurant. We ordered 3 kids meals and 2 gyros. The prices were very reasonable. I loved that you could tell that this place is family run! The portions are HUGE! My gyro had huge chunks of chicken breast and it's chargrilled, so the flavor is delicious! The service was great and they even brought out a dessert for free for us to try!! My only suggestion would be for them to offer a garlic sauce for dipping or for gyros. A great experience overall!! read more
