The inside was much more elegant than we expected. We started surf with Hummus and Baba Ganoush Sampler. It was tasty with a Turkish twist. Then, we ordered to Spicy Chicken which was made of chicken thighs. You could tell the chicken had been soaked in spices over night. We also had the Muklabah. It was a tasty dish of rice topped with meat, eggplant, and onions. I would highly recommend this dish. We finished off with a Rice Pudding Dish and Baklava. Everything rated like it was made in house. I would definitely come again.

The rice it came with was fine but thought it could use some flavor since it was bland. Appetizer sampler was good but $25 was steep for just 4 dips that weren't too generous and only 2 pita breads. Overall food was fine but thought it was overpriced for the quantity. Service was good and they explained the menu well and were attentive.

They have their own gardens where they're really farm to table. We ordered the mezza to share between the 7 of us. The pitas were fresh out of the oven and the hummus, baba ganoush, tabbuli, falafel, labni, cucumber & yogurt, olives, feta cheese, and mixed pickles were all so fresh. It was the perfect starter to get our palettes clear for our main entrees. My mom ordered hedary's chicken, husband ordered the meat combination, and I had the lamb loin kabob. My mom said her chicken was a bit salty for her taste, but it's because she doesn't salt anything. Husband really loved all the meats in his dish, and I think I should've ordered the lamb medium rare because the medium was a little too overcooked for me, making it a little chewy. Flavors were great, just not as tender as I was hoping. Service was wonderful, we had Ella as our server. She seemed so sweet and nice. Overall, if I'm in Allen, I'd come back to try the other items, maybe just not the lamb.

The gyro had a similar issue -- the red onions were raw and sliced too thick, there wasn't enough tzatziki sauce, and again, lettuce didn't really belong on the sandwich. The good: the pita bread was excellent -- very soft, fresh, and delicious. The fries were disappointing. They were unseasoned, soft, and mushy, and honestly didn't need to be included. I wish the wraps were offered à la carte without fries, especially since the price felt a bit high for what you get. The baklava was the standout. It was flaky, sticky, and perfectly sweet. I appreciated getting two small pieces in different flavors (Dubai chocolate and original), though I do wish the portions were a bit larger for the price

Husband ordered their beef plate with rice and salad for $14.99. Both plates came with a huge pita bread. Portion sizes were huge! I really liked their pita bread. It was really good and chewy. Only downside is their meat. They give you a lot, but the chicken was dry and overcooked. They also slice the meat really small, so I wasn't a fan of that. Beef was cooked well, but wasn't a fan of the small slices of meat. They don't have water, only bottled water in the fridge. They do have a hot water dispenser though. Friday night around 7, not busy at all. Overall, it wasn't bad. I would be fine with just an order of their pita bread with hummus.

I liked the garlic sauce that comes with the combo bowl for $17, and they do have spicy sauce that went well with the meat but you need to ask for it. the plate was giant, to the point I had to take it home for later, fresh fried french fries, falafel was okay, meat was a bit dry and a little lighter in seasoning then what I am used to but it was seasoned pretty as is the hummus. No complaints with the service, and muted vibes so nothing crazy going on. I do not see myself going back, I heard it was great before.

And everyone cared about my experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and it was very tasty. I'm that girl who likes dressing, and the sauce on my bowl was the perfect amount to not overwhelm the bowl. We were the first customers, but within minutes, the restaurant filled up. That speaks volumes to me about the food. I will definitely go back and try something new next time.

Beyond the quality and service issues, be very careful with their online ordering system. It stays active and takes your money even when the restaurant is entirely closed. Also, keep a close eye on your cart when ordering online. My friend accidentally selected the vegetarian gyro for me (we had no idea they had this) when ordering. We didn't know until we got home to eat; it was literally just lettuce, tomato, tzatziki, and pita bread. It went straight into the trash along with the 18 dollars I paid for it. Between the declining quality and the broken ordering system, we won't be rushing back. You also can't really eat here like you used to be able to. If you decide to they just tell you to get your plastic forks and knives yourself from a counter. Yet for the price you should be able to have a restaurant experience.

I recently chose to try out dining in. The guys behind the counter are nice enough, the place is clean; nothing fancy, and the food is still delicious. The Gyro Shop is our typical go to for ordering greek food and I'll continue to do so since we love the food. I don't see much reason to dine in as this place is not really geared to be a fancy dine in, but more so a food on the go or order out type of place. We typically order the chicken platter. They give you a generous portion of chicken, and the feta cheese is nice and fresh. I also love the hummus here, its very smooth and very fresh. Again, the food is delicious and they have their niche. I will continue to order here when we have a desire to order this type of food.
