    Steak kebab.  Very good
    Stephen F.

    Look, it's a dive location, but the food is very good, and for the price is amazing!! It's the kind of mom and pop dive I live. The decor is dated but clean enough, but the service was impeccable! Worth every penny and then some!

    End of the break no beef sandwich

    Where's the beef ?????? Had a taste for a beef sandwich. When I got home the bread covered the beef. The sandwich folded over the beef.....When you get a Chicago beef sandwich. You expect beef over flowing the sandwich Wasted $10.00 Never returning..... Tim

    I found this place on yelp. While it had both good and bad reviews, I decided to give it a try anyway because I was hungry for a gyro. Everything started off good, the girl at the counter was very nice, I placed my order to go and sat down to wait. It was done pretty quickly. When getting the bag I asked if I could have some extra sauce because I know places like to skimp, I was told they charge for it. Hmmm, oh well ok, I went ahead and got one, 2.00 after tax for one tiny little cup and I mean tiny. Got home and started to eat, so glad I got the extra sauce because it was very minimal and at the very bottom of the sandwich. Also there were only 2 tiny tomatoes, no lettuce, I did feel there was plenty of meat but I won't be going back.

    I've been craving a good gyro for a while now and haven't really found one in the East Valley that hits the spot--until now. I'd heard about Chicago #1 Gyros in AJ, and one day while I was nearby I decided to finally stop in and grab something to go for lunch. The place was pretty quiet (midday during the week), but I was greeted right away with a friendly welcome. They were super accommodating to my special request to have the meat grilled after slicing, and I only waited a few minutes before my order was ready. I just went with the gyro sandwich (no fries), and let me tell you--it tasted exactly like I remembered a great gyro should. The pita was soft and fresh, the portion was generous and fully stuffed with meat (which is what really counts!), and everything was hot and flavorful. If I had to nitpick, I'd say I could've used just a little more tzatziki and toppings, but overall it was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time. So glad I finally found a gyro spot in the area worth returning to!

    What a gem! Been looking for this kind of food around me and I'm satisfied. Food was soo good and fresh. Went in and took it to go. The workers are nice and they all welcome you Will be back for more!! I feel like I'm going to crave this.

    It's a gyro joint. As a Chicago boy, I recognize this kind of place. The gyros were really really good. The Greek salad was also good. The tazikki sauce was excellent. When I'm off the low carb diet I will try their Chicago dog and Italian beef. Their baklava looked great in the case and it took willpower not to order it this go around. Are they cheap? No, but are they good? Yes!

    First time. Stopped today while running errands…read more Summary: delicious. I notice that a lot of Yelpers like hole-in-the-wall places. The little find on the corner, so to speak. Simple surroundings, but excellent food. This is one of those places, in my opinion. Ordered the Greek salad w/ beef kabob. They even asked how I wanted the meat prepared. I went for rare, and it was rare. Very fresh greens, soft and warm pita bread. Dressing on the side, which I like, because Greek dressing can sometimes be a little acidic. This was not. Smooth, with light acidity. Very tasty. The meat (see picture) was loaded on and delicious. Charred nicely on the outside, rare inside. Presented very well. Baklava for desert. What can I say - I've never really had bad Baklava. Very buttery, honey, pistachios. I'm giving five stars, because I didn't expect this to be so tasty. Expected good. Nothing fancy as far as dining, but very clean. But I don't order the tables and chairs - I order the meal, and that's what I eat. You order at the counter and they serve. The young lady was very friendly - perhaps limited English, but no one was rude. She served my food, and I forgot to grab utensils. She went back to get them w/ no attitude. I saw the cook (maybe the owner/mgr?) serve a couple and very friendly. I saw some bad reviews regarding service, so just wanted to explain that didn't happen to me. Anyway, I will go back here. Hopefully, will be as good as the salad.

Enjoyed a couple of ouzo with a drop of water, then had to have the flaming saganaki: graviera with a light flour dusting and deliciously melted with crispy bits. My favorite dishes have always been moussaka and pastistitsio: today I opted for the moussaka because I'm the only one to eat eggplant... my first bite took me back to lunch at the beach many years ago: very tasty and delicious. We also ordered the lamb cutlets, perfectly cooked and so good. Our server was attentive without being constantly hovering, which was great; the ambiance suited me perfectly as it was low key in the best way. The other diners sitting at their tables seemed local, the restaurant to pop in after a round of golf or just to enjoy a home cooked meal. I do enjoy these tucked away gems, their food as well as the service. I feel like we should come back on a saturday evening when the stage is set up and dancing might be happening :) At the end of the meal I only had room for my kafe metrio: I make it in my briki sometimes but it just tastes so much better made at the bar or restaurant. The restaurant is tucked away off the beaten path as it were, but I'm really happy I found Alexander's !!

I was reminded why I don't dine here more frequently, they put the 'meh' in Mediterranean. Starting with the ambiance, this place is looking old and weathered. Their store front is not very inviting. Once inside, you navigate through their dining area to the counter to order. The counter area looks more like an advertisement for other establishments...stickers, ads, coupons, notes and all sorts of motley items. The man who I think was doing three jobs in one (host, order taker, bathroom attendant) took my order and walked away. No friendly hello or enthusiasm of any kind. Once I took my seat I watched several people use their store just for the bathroom in the back...the back where there's no door separating the dining area vs. kitchen vs. warehouse vs. bathroom. People were standing in a line to use the restroom a foot from where my food was being made. I ordered a simple gyro sandwich with rice. The sandwich was pretty straight-forward: gyro slices, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki. When it arrive, there was no sign of tomatoes or onion...just different shades of brown drowning in too much tzatziki. I eventually found several onions and one tiny tomato underneath all the meat. Underneath...what a poor presentation. The rice was okay...nothing special. There was nothing here that would draw me back. Having several other Mediterranean food options within miles that I do enjoy has relegated this place to 'in emergency break glass' status.
