We ate at George of da jungle,so fresh and delicious! The lamb gyro, lamb burger, beef burger, Very generous portions .breadfruit fries and Sweet potato fries in coconut oil, Yum!! He said he try's to serve organic and local food whenever possible. It's a food truck. It's in Kilauea just off the highway before the shell station. Seriously the best food on the north shore of Kauai. Mahalo Chef George. read more

Delicious greek food. Liked my chicken. The tzasiki (sp?) sauce was really great, the salad was fresh with even tasty onion which is always a good sign of a quality salad to me! Wish the salad had dressing as an option, but I was fine. The dolmatha was amazing! They forgot the one in my husbands plate though. The hummus I ordered on the side was tasty and their pita bread made it even better. Will be back - fair enough price! Cant beat the beach side location and easy roadside access in Kapaa! read more

Delicious food and friendly chef. Loved the falafel, it was moist and tasty. The tahini was nutty and yummy. Lamb gyro was very tasty and definitely unlike street meat I'm used to. Apparently the owners slaughter their own lamb and use 100% lamb meat instead of processed garbage. Sweet potato fries were fried perfectly and make for a big yummy meal with a sandwich. Prices are high for a food truck, but so is the quality. read more

As soon as I stepped up to the counter I was greeted by a very warm Hello! I assumed that it was none other than the famous George himself. AKA George of the Jungle! I think that makes a really big difference in business... when the owner or employees are very friendly from the get-go it creates an atmosphere where people will enjoy what they eat. I decided to get the lamb gyro. My order came in about 5 minutes which is a decent time to wait. However when I got my gyro I was a little puzzled at how to eat it. To my astonishment it was actually the largest gyro I have ever seen! I ended up trying to squish it all together and eat the gyro one by one while getting my hands messy in the process. Nonetheless, I had a blast. The flavors were fresh, tasty and what you would expect from a good Gyro. It wasn't the best year I've had but definitely on par with what a good gyro should taste like. I would actually give the Gyro itself a four stars. But because of the excellent service, location, and presentation of the dish (all 5 stars) I'll give them a five star rating today. read more

Chef George Eats - Lamb Gyro! - Caterers Near Me

I agree with what everyone else has said- awesome guy with awesome food- nothing you can't love- the fact that it's just a food truck makes it even better. But you know what they say; it's not size that matters, it's how you use it. George is the kind of guy that doesn't advertise, because his food speaks for itself- he's the down to earth kind of person that won't get bent out of shape if you don't tip him, either, which is all the more reason to tip him! Haha ;) Aloha read more

Great Greek stand! He is now close to Foodland and the gyros are huge and so tasty. George is very nice and his prices are very good especially during these times. The place is very clean and I am definitely recommending this place to everybody. Keep it up George!! read more

Sadly don't know where this food truck is anymore. Loved it when we were here last year. So sad. Spent way too much time trying to find it this year. read more

This was the best gyro I had! Lamb gyro is amazing! The good was super fresh and serving size was generous!

The best food we had in Kauai. Highly recommend this out of the way food truck as a great place to eat with incredible food. Had both the chicken and lamb and the sweet potato fries. We liked it so much we are going to go back again before we leave. read more

George is very handsome and makes the best shave ice on the island - try the honey, mint, lime flavor!! Xo

Beyond great place for lunch. Delicious wraps. A lot of FLAVOR! Great portion size as well. I had the veggie wrap with tempeh and it was excellent and filling. My wife and I got hooked up with free natural sodas as well. This dude knows how to do the food! read more

Came for a late lunch (around 2pm) on a Saturday. The girl behind the counter was friendly and my order came out quickly, but the food was just ok, nothing to write home about. I ordered the chicken platter and it was dry, lacking any real flavor. The biggest turn off is the shared seating area. It was a hot day--flies everywhere and chickens walking on the empty tables. I had one bird snatch the napkin out of my hand as I ate! Bring bleach wipes for your table if you decide to eat here. read more

Really tasty eats! I had the falafel and it was delicious! Big portion served with a fresh garden salad. Thanks George!

George has 5 stars for a reason. This food was delicious! His heart and soul go into every meal. (plus he is a ringer for Borat) I had the organic chicken Gyro, my guy had the tempura ono burger, both rocked our world! I never finish a meal & always have leftovers, but not here. Couldn't stop eating! Also, he's open a little later than most places in the area...8:30 read more

Amazing Mediterranean food! George knows how to cook a great meal out of his truck. Kitchen is clean and well kept. Highly recommended!

Adorable. Tasty. Fun. George is a kind guy who is quite creative. My fish burger was enough for a lumber jack. My wife loved the falafel sandwich. On an island with few vegetarian options this placed made her happy. read more

Amazing!! Was visiting Kauai for a week and ate at chef George's 3 times!! Authentic gyros and was even with my vegetarian friend who loved the spanakopita!! Friendly staff and great location. A must try if you are passing! Watch out for that truck!! read more

Worth the trip to this very out-of-the-way location. I had the lamb burger and my wife had the fish burger... Best burger I've ever had and the fish burger was unreal. Just go- you won't regret it! Note: driving there you might think you're going nowhere- hang in there read more

Terrible food. Dirty. His hands are filthy when preparing the food. I am having hard time understanding how he could get 4+ stars then again we are talking about Greek food in the middle of the Pacific read more

These guys are awesome! So worth tracking them down, Chef George and his sweet wife Summer were such a great example of the Aloha spirit, on top of the food being delicious. We got the lamb gyro burger and it was unlike anything I've had before, the sauce was delicious and sweet bread bun really gave it that perfect Hawaiian twist. Will definitely find them next time we visit! read more

Really happy to have this new Greek food truck nearby, have discovered that Chef George is fantastic - super friendly, and food is delicious! My favorite is his falafel, which comes with a salad - good size portion an a full meal. read more

I had the chicken kabob pita with side salad. It was delicious! I'd definitely go back next time I'm in Kilauea at lunchtime. There was no line (no idea why there was no line), he made the food fresh and it's priced the same as other restaurants in the area. read more

Ya'lllllll. This was the BEST thing I've eaten in a while. I got the Meze platter and Geroge had just gotten back from vacation and didn't have spanakopita, so he substituted baklava. The tzatzikii was super good on the greek salad, the dolmades were perfect, the hummus was perfect with the pita, the falafel was my favorite part of the plate, but the baklava.....tons of filling, decent sizes, beautiful, delicious, SO much honey. I am a serious Greek connoisseur and this was fast, good, authentic, and George was super cool. Wish I had more time just so I could grub here again!! read more

One of the best meals we had in kauai. go figure! The fish burger was perfect and the sweet potato fries were the best I have ever had. We couldn't identify why, whether it was the perfect crispness or the seasoning.... m mm I want more! My Greek chicken plate was also good but not my favorite of the night. It was nice to get some veggies tho after my week lacking!!! read more

You have to go experience one of Georges mindbendingly incredible falafels or lamb burgers!; I have to say, aside from being one of the most genuinely funny and kind hearted folks you will meet, going to chef George s is a must for any hungry traveler cruising between kapaa, Kilauea and princeville. Mahalo George! read more

Amazing Greek food truck. Had the gyro which was juicy and delicious. Also got the falafel pita, definitely worth it. Just make sure google maps takes you to the new location. He used to be in Wailua but recently moved to Kapaa town near some other food trucks. read more

Great lamb gyro. Meat is grilled perfectly and big enough for 2 people. The service is fast and friendly. read more

I don't know really why everybody is bragging about this place. Nothing special and really not that good as portrayed here with 5 deceiving stars. Not all is fresh. Lots of pre made stuff. Too much spices on some Greek dishes like chicken Gyros. My Ono fish sandwich was fried. Would be better grilled. I just think it is not worth more than 3 stars, but I am giving it 2. read more

Highly recommend this place. The food tastes like it's from a 5 star restaurant. Well done Chef George!

If you are on your way to the Kilauea Lighthouse, make a stop at this blue food truck. The Gyro was awesome. Fresh, tender, flavorful ingredients. My son proclaimed 'best gyro EVER.' I think that says it all. Yum! read more

I really enjoyed the food at this food truck, the chicken skewer and salad had great flavor. The salad was prepped into nice bite size pieces, while the portion of the salad was quite large. I would recommend George of the Jungle to anyone! read more

Sooooooo freakin good! Had the falafel pita. It comes in 2 pockets so it's easy to split. No split charge. Sweet potato fries and Kim chee were the bomb. The falafel is super moist and delicious. Stoked to have found this place! read more

Pork was dry. Falafel dry. Weird flavors and i like weird food. Cold rice and for 15 bucks didn't like it at all sorry.

Not much to say other than WOW! Had an amazing Greek Chicken Gyro- the ingredients were perfectly spiced-the chicken was moist and flavorful-if this is an example- George CAN cook! Oh yes- the shaved ice was well worth the calories! When you see that truck- stop and have a bite!!! read more

Awesome place. Definitely worth 5 stars. We visited twice in a row. First time, we got a George's gyro(last available serving of lamb, lucky :D), Ono fish burger, organic falafel pita and sweet potato fries. I love the George's gyro, lamb tastes awesome, the pita is gorgeous!!! The fish burger is amazing, the fish is fried to be crispy outside but tender inside. It has a nice wasabi flavor, with some seaweed and other seasoning, the burger is just impressive. The other two are very good too. Second time we got chicken gyro since he ran out if lamb, Ono fish burger and breadfruit fries. The fish burger is still as good as it can get. The chicken gyro is awesome too. The chicken is juicy and tender. My friend likes this one even more than the lamb one since he just prefers chicken over lamb. Bread tree fries is tasty and has pretty different texture, definitely worth trying. read more

We had an awesome lunch here after a great hike. The lamb gyro and chicken gyro were both outstanding. The flavors really jumped out of a fresh made pita bread. We highly recommend this truck when you are looking for a high quality, quick meal. read more

Food is amazing! ... Since they moved from Kilauea I've only been able to go once. the new location is a little... intimidating and pretty rugged but I hope they do well down there. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by soon to try the shave ice! read more

Awesome!!!! Unbelievable! Had one of the best chicken gyros this side of the Mediterranean if not the best!! To quote George, he is a gyro Finatic and you can really tell. My husband had the Ono Burger. Fabulous as well! And George was truly a pleasure to speak to and you could tell he puts love behind his meals. Feels really good to eat good food and support great people :) read more

Came because of the great reviews and can honestly say the reviews don't even do it justice. The lamb burger was great and the sweet potato fries were out of this world. Quite possibly the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place! read more

Not the same anymore, fish burger is now grilled instead of tempura which made it very plain and Greek burger comes on a different bun now which we thought wasn't as good. read more
