They were at my company on a weekday and I decided to give them a try. The meal was subsidized and I only paid $5. Portion size was pretty good, but I would say the flavor was just ok. I had a chicken over rice, which came with some greens as well. The rice was mildly seasoned. Chicken was tender, but was also not flavorful & like what everyone else has brought up, it's got a weird red color to it. The white sauce had dill, so if you aren't a fan of dill, probably ask for them to not include the sauce. They also had a bottle of the red "spicy" sauce on the condiment stand, but it wasn't spicy and had more of a sour kick to it. The guy who took my order seemed friendly, hence the 3 stars. Otherwise, I would say the flavors were not memorable and I wouldn't be back.

Really delicious and fresh! Got a chicken and rice plate and a chicken gyro and would absolutely get again. I'm especially a fan of the hummus, it's really flavorful and smooth. Tried at off the grid and will make sure to find them again soon!!

My company hired the food truck for an event and it was great! I got the falafel gyro and enjoyed it! The falafel was not dry and was of good consistency. It didn't fall apart while eating. They were kind enough to put the sauces on the side so my gyro was not drowning in sauce. The workers were super kind and the service was quick!

Stopped by Golden Gate Gyro at the Gordon Biersch Night Market in San Jose and I'm so glad I did! I was first in line and ordered the Chicken Over Rice. Michael (a total sweetheart) asked me if I wanted it spicy, and while I was deciding whether I wanted sriracha or not, he told me he had a different sauce I would like. I was happy to try it and paid my $19. The food was ready impressively quickly - it must have been under 3 minutes of waiting. He gave me the special sauce (red but lighter in color than sriracha) in a separate little box and I brought my food home to eat. The Chicken Over Rice was fantastic - flavorful juicy chicken, well cooked rice, and fresh crunchy veggies. I liked the white sauce but LOVED the special sauce, which was the perfect level of spicy. I wish I had asked the name of it, but Michael was spot on with his recommendation. The portion size was very generous, but I managed to finish the entire meal. Would totally return!

My homie hit me up one day and told me a Gyro truck pulled up outside his office and I should stop by to check it out, I was already debating on what to have for lunch so this was obviously fate rearing its head at the right time. The menu offers a variety of options from plates, salads, wings, baklava, and fries but the real star of the show for me, is the gyro wraps (of course). The meat (lamb or chicken) is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with a delicious blend of spices that truly capture the essence of Greek cuisine with the perfect. The pita bread is soft and fluffy, and the toppings - from the tzatziki sauce to the fresh veggies - are all top-notch. If you're a vegetarian, they got you covered. I asked for spicy and they delivered on the spicy because I need that kick in my life. Michael was running the truck solo, he's extremely friendly, welcoming, and moves very quick in the kitchen, the turn around for the food was surprisingly fast, so don't let any long lines scare you. Everything here was efficient and Mike was very attentive, ensuring that every customers question is answered and they feel well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend Golden Gate Gyro. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Greek food or just looking to try something new and exciting, you won't be disappointed at all!

Order ready in about 3 minutes! Had the lamb gyro & chicken rice plate. The lamb was tender and flavorful but a bit too salty. I don't think I would've been able to eat just the lamb but together with the chicken, it was great. I have to admit I found the deep red food coloring of the chicken a little off putting but it was delicious and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The rice was perfect and so was the salad with sauce.

Rubbery thing in my food

So gross! Their food truck came out for lunch for a company event. I ordered a chicken gyro sandwich and bit into a rubbery thing, like the top of a container?? I thought it was a tendon or something. After throwing out the piece, I took another bite and there were tiny rubbery pieces and I spit out the bite and threw the whole meal out. On top of it, what is that red color they use on the chicken? After the 2 bites, my heart was racing 30 min later and for another 1-2 hours. MSG??

Lamb pita

Participated in a food truck event recently and Golden Gate Gyro was one of the options we could choose from. The food was really delicious! Got to try the lamb gyro and the mixed combo over rice that has chicken and lamb over rice with salad. Chicken was unexpectedly a little spicy and lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. Food portions were huge. Really happy with our food and would definitely get it again. The guy working the front was incredibly nice and kind.

The hours specified are incorrect. The truck does not have a specific location, as well as it does not have specific working hours. I went to the address posted on their website and found the truck parked. Awful.

The dude and I came here on 07/04/21 as our food option for the A's game. Within the last few years I've grown to appreciate Mediterranean cuisine. We decided yo give this food truck a try. The line was long but reasonable and moved pretty fast. I got the Chicken Swarma pita as the dude got the Lamb pita, we also got two orders of Baklava too which was good. The chicken pita was pretty good, very flavorful and it made my taste buds dance with happiness! The portion size was huge so I didn't even put a dent in it and I was so full. I had left overs. The dudes lamb pita was very chewy which I am a fan of lamb but I didn't like the texture of the meat at all and lacked flavor for me. The dude agreed but he still enjoyed his Lamb pita. The Baklava was honestly my favorite as it was so tasty and the honey topping was my favorite. The staff was friendly and nice and I would come again! It was such a treat!

Chicken rice plate (spicy)
Sabrina S.

Golden gate gyro served out their rice and fry plates quite fast, most likely since they have batches of meat prepared for a quick TAT. The spicy chicken wasn't that spicy, but it was tender and not bad. Contrary to what some comments said, their lamb was not overly salty which is pretty lucky. My other coworker had gotten their falafel plate and it came with 10 pieces which is A LOT. It also looked pretty tasty! If it's around, I'd pick up a plate again - 3.5 .

Quick take: delicious food During COVID-19 SIP this food truck company is following all social distancing rules. Pre-order by texting 925-786-4520. One truck is currently stationed at the Green Valley Elementary School parking lot in Danville. Follow their IG stories for current locations and specials. The food is delicious. Very flavorful and tender meat. Definitely will be back for more. This is a very small food truck. So I understand they are limited on cooking appliances and counter space. If you are taking suggestions for the future I will request fries to be added to the menu. Thanks for the great service. Stay healthy and safe!

Mixed gyro over rice . Yummy .

There's also street parking but when we got there everywhere was occupied. Nice and clean little interior. As we came in we were sat down immediately followed by water. We ordered the Thai Sausage, Yellow Chicken Curry, Crispy Trout, Drunken Noodle Chicken, Basil Thai Beef Style and Mango Sticky Rice, everything was flavorful and so good we finished everything!! This will be my go-to Thai place from now on! Employees were nice and attentive. Restroom is clean and well kept!

There's really no reason to even bother with this place unless you're trying to have diarrhea…read more This a tiny hole in the wall with AC units all over the place that don't seem to be working. My rice was crunchy. The vegetables were undercooked. The flavor was not great... definitely use MSG heavily. Waitress didn't check on me once after she brought my food. I thought maybe it was good because it had 4 1/2 stars... It's not. Read the other reviews. It might've been good. It's one point but now it's just making people sick and should be closed down. Update: Ate here for lunch yesterday. 24 hrs later now and I am still sh*tting my brains out. Explosive diarrhea non stop. Somebody shut this health risk down!!

Absolutely a hidden gem in Concord!…read more If you're looking for amazing Pakistani, Indian, and Afghan food, Chopan Kabob needs to be on your list. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and they made us feel right at home. I ordered the 3-meat combo with the beef tikka, chicken kabob, and beef chapli, and every bite was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The beef chapli was especially outstanding! My wife ordered the chicken tikka masala, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with authentic flavor. We also ordered the bolani the eggplant dish, and it was fantastic. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Great prices, outstanding hospitality, and some of the best kabobs we've had in the area. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

Very small space. We ordered bolani as an appetizer, but it took forever. By the time it was ready,…read morethe waitress brought our main dishes along with it. That is not proper service. What is the point of an appetizer if it's not served before the main dishes? We were very disappointed. Taste wise, bolani was very thin and bland. Barely any potatoes or stuffing. The bread was very thin too. Kunduz Kabab's bolani is top tier, we should've just had dinner there. The Chapli kabob and Karahi chicken were also disappointing, I think the quality has changed perhaps with new management. We also noticed the waitress kept gloves on, the same gloves she would handle payments with, she used to hand us our plates and cutlery. That is very unhygienic and quite frankly appalling. You're spreading germs onto customers' plates. Will not be returning.

Be careful, there are bones. Cucumber salad was great. I liked having the extra veggies and the mint is so tasty. The owner was our server. He was very kind since this was our first visit. The bad: Nothing

I'm not an authority on Afghan food so this is rated as an outsider…read more Overall the food can be summarized as: lightly seasoned, enjoy the simple flavors of each component, and Must use the sauces to complete the dish. I personally think everything needed some salt, but maybe it's meant to be this way. Highlight is most definitely the green sauce (yogurt and chili, not spicy), baklava (sweet sticky on the bottom and flaky crisp on top, not overly sweet), yogurt mint drink (dough). Shami beef and chicken kebab were juicy and not dry. Through a bit of miscommunication.. I was given the yogurt drink instead of the normal side of yogurt cucumber sauce for the meat, and was warned by Ali that some people don't like it since it's a yogurt drink with salt, but honestly it was great and was essentially a yogurt mint sauce I expect from other Mediterranean/Middle Eastern type places but more watery. So admittedly I just took sips of this while taking bites of the kebab and rice and it was pretty much the flavors I was looking for, but an extra step. Beef Mantu was another source of confusion since there are regular and homemade versions (I didn't realize). They made me the homemade version without confirming with me on the phone; no problem. It was filled with lightly seasoned beef and topped with interesting spices. Overall not bad not great, definitely needs sauce / salt. Too light in my opinion. And for $25 I wouldn't get again not worth it. The customer service from Ali was great. Knowing this was my first time he explained everything, offered to charge me less due to the miscommunications (I declined), and gave complimentary side of sauce and baklava as a nice gesture. Good food. I know how to order next time. Extra green sauce or yogurt drink all over.
