Lamb and beef gyro plate
YuJun L.

Gyro boss has been my go to meal post long run for the longest time. I come here basically every Sunday after just to get my lamb and beef shawarma plate to go and enjoy at home. I've been a customer for at least 3 years now and each plate I get tastes as good as the previous one. On days that I run past half marathon distance I like to indulge by ordering special gyro fries. It really hits the spot. These folks are quick with it and food comes out real fast. Give this place a shot. I love this restaurant

Good veggie gyro. The baklava was dry, not much honey and melt in your mouth texture. The 'black seed' cookies sold in plastic containers are not fresh, seem to be made in Chicago. Very dry. These are not sesame seeds. Unknown what they are.

Replaced the BBQ spot. Now Gyro Boss (7/12/25)

I had stopped by Lake Forest Town Center to visit both the adjacent bookstore and bakery on 7/12/25. This time I decided to check out Gyro Boss. It's been around since 2021 and seems to continue to do brisk business at their counter. Nice person at the register. I decided on the gyro sandwich to eat onsite. This was a very tasty gyro, generously filled pita with tender lamb/beef gyro meat and fresh veggies, delicious! I also I appreciated the fork provided to savor each bite. If you're having a Mediterranean food craving, whether casual dining onsite or ordered takeout, definitely stop by Gyro Boss!

Inside third place books. Walk up to order. Lots of places to sit. Quick service. It's easy for a quick bite and not bad but I'll plan ahead better next time and grab something else before hitting up Vulpine.

Lamb Shawarma Plate

I got the lamb shawarma plate! It was super yummy! It was 17.99 for the plate with generous portions. The lamb was good! I enjoyed my dish! It's right next to Third Place Books. Super convenient to browse through books, then grab a bite to eat!

Gyro Plate with chicken

Got the hummus plate with chicken and gyro plate with chicken. Both were excellent and big portions. The people worked there were also friendly. It was my 1st time coming here and I had some trouble finding the place as there was no physical sign. It is located in the lake town center and part of the small food court next to the third place book store.

This was so good! My friend and I got takeout and we shared a few things. We got a gyro wrap, falafel plate, and Greek fries topped with chicken. The wrap was SO good! Everything was great, somehow the fries stayed totally crispy on the drive home even with a ton of toppings. The men working were really friendly when I went up to get my order. I was surprised to find this was inside a little strip mall and I had a bit of trouble locating it so if you enter from downstairs you just need to go up the escalator.

Greek fries
Felicia R.

Loveddddddd this spot in a food hall. I loved the Chicken Shwarma sandwich and the Greek Fries were a perfect salty delight. Lots of food options, a classic Greek treat. Service was kind and fast! Gonna get the falafel and baklava next time!!!

Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

My brother and I have been coming here for years. The best Mediterranean food and great service. 100/10 recommend

Half eaten gyro
Christopher R.

This is my first time here. With the name Gyro Boss, I had to have the basic gyro. SERVICE They were fast and friendly. Great job FOOD It was good, exactly as expected. At first I thought it looked lettuce heavy but underneath was a generous portion of meat VALUE At $10 in the Seattle area, I would say it was a good value

Kefta Salad
Jacques I.

Gyro Boss is boss! It's so bomb! I discovered this place as I needed a quick dinner before an event I was attending nearby and Gyro Boss was a wonderful find. I would definitely eat here again when in the area. Gyro Boss is located inside the business strip/mall where Third Place Books is in Lake Forest Park. In fact, it's one of the eateries adjacent to Third Place Books, which works out well for anyone looking for a bite to eat before and after book browsing. It was busy because of the event, but despite how busy it was, the food came out soon after it was cooked and finished preparing. I ordered the kefta salad, which was sooo delicious! The meat had that tasty, chargrilled flavor and was tender and juicy. The salad was so fresh, and loved that it came Greek style, with more cucumbers as the base than lettuce. My friend ordered the fries with her gyro, and the fries were double dipped, which are my favorite kind of fries! Gahhh, I need to eat here again!

Lake Forest Park Shwarmara! Yay! Other family members had tried Gyro Boss Mediterranean Grill recently and recommended we go there for a quick lunch so we did. We had the most pleasant encounter with the man behind the counter. I think his name was "Mo"? He was super friendly and remembered my wife and daughter from a previous visit. He comped us one lentil soup and some roasted cauliflower which was super nice. I love the lentil soup here, it's thick and flavorful. I had the Lamb & Beef Shawarma, my wife had the Chicken Shawarma and our daughter had the Falafel Salad and a couple of lentil soups. I tried a falafel and it was perfectly cooked (crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. Very similar to a hush puppy!). The shawarma plates came with a small Greek Salad and some wonderful hummus with kalamata olives and oil and the meat over some wonderful yellow rice. Sooooo yummy! The food was very tasty and super aromatic. This place is a new favorite for mine when in the area. Thanks Gyro Boss, everything was perfect!

Today, I noticed there were new faces at the counter, and I'm not sure if there was a staff turnover. I truly hope this won't affect the service and, most importantly, the quality of the food because that's one of the reasons I keep coming back. My scheduled pickup time today was 11:10 AM. I arrived at 11:00 AM and even brought back the same bag they provided with my previous order. There were already 3 people waiting. Unfortunately, by 11:15 AM, my order was still not ready -- this is now the second time this has happened. I understand that things can get busy, but pickup times matter, especially for customers who pre-order because they have somewhere to be. I had a work meeting to attend, which is why I placed my order ahead of time. My order was finally ready at 11:30 AM -- 20 minutes after the scheduled pickup time. This delay was the main reason for my 1-star review. I also noticed that the sauce portions have gotten smaller compared to before. I hope the team can take this feedback seriously because I really enjoy the food here and would like to continue supporting this place. I just hope the consistency in service, portions, and overall experience improves.

Bella Balducci's is a wonderful addition to the food in in Kirkland - I personally haven't had this…read morestyle of Mediterranean food before, so it was a unique experience for me! I have been to Bella Balducci's twice at the time of this review, and would definitely go back. Went around lunchtime for both visits and there was no wait time to get a table each time. Parking for the restaurant is easy - there are plenty of parking spaces in the front of the restaurant as it is located in a small shopping plaza. The dining area is small and cozy, I would say probably 3 middle tables and 6-8 side booths. Service was fast, we got all of our food in 15 minutes. Out of the items on the menu, I'll review the Soltani Platter ($28) which I got multiple times. The platter itself comes with a simple salad with olives and dressing - they do go a little bit heavier on the dressing for my personal preference, but it is tasty and sets up as a nice appetizer for the main entree. The is a sizable platter with minced beef kabob and marinated steak - I would say enough to feed two people comfortably. There is a whole half raw onion, which I haven't seen before, that you use to help cut through the fat and richness of the meats. The meats are very flavorful and tender and super enjoyable to eat. The flatbread they give you with the platter is very thin, but serves as a great vehicle to transport the meat and herbs. The interesting thing is, there is no sauce or dip like tzatziki or baba ganoush to hide behind, so the full glory of the meat is the only thing you will experience. I think that Bella Balducci is refreshing restaurant to experience in the Kirkland area, and that I would totally come back to try the other options on the menu. For the price, quality, and quantity, you can definitely feed multiple people with enough exciting options to try!

Shawarma Time is one of the few places in the PNW that makes chicken shawarma sandwiches in the…read moretraditional Lebanese-style - with bread, toum, chicken, and pickles. No tomato. No lettuce. No cucumber, no other filler like all the "Mediterranean" Middle-Eastern/Greek fusion restaurants that permeate the area. As an additional sign of authenticity - they serve complementary warm sweet black tea! I believe they also only serve bottle water, which they charge for (it might surprise people, but this is yet another mark of authenticity). I've been looking for a place like this ever since moving here from Dearborn, MI! Walking in for a weekday lunch, I saw several people come in for takeout orders, but I was the only person eating in. Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($12.95) - This is a traditionally made chicken shawarma wrap, consisting of only chicken shawarma, pickles, and toum wrapped up in bread. The bread in this case is saj, a thin almost flour tortilla-like bread. It's not quite as pliable as a tortilla, instead enveloping all the ingredients in a warm coating. The menu lists this as "fresh baked" but that's definitely a misnomer. It's more factory produced, possibly weeks ago, given the heavy dough conditioner and preservative taste. The saj is what I disliked about this shawarma sandwich the most. They give a substantial portion of chicken, more than enough protein to satisfy. The seasoning blend they use is sublime, it's earthy and warm, savory and salty, and it brings me right back to Dearborn. The meat is freshly shaved off the spit with an electric shaver (rather than by knife as the traditionalists would do it). It's not particularly moist, but isn't dried out either. They don't add enough toum in the sandwich to overcome this deficiency - it's applied in a thin layer that's barely noticeable inside. Luckily they serve a small cup of toum on the side that's enough for the sandwich - if only they added it inside instead of being essentially a dip! The toum itself is a higher tier one for my tastes. It's heavily garlicky, almost having a pungent sweaty kind of aroma. There doesn't seem to be too much filler at all inside, and while the spiciness is tempered, the garlic is full flavored. The consistency more resembles a paste than a sauce - my preference is to be even more paste-like than this, but the toum here is still great. There are a couple of pickles inside giving some acidity and a slightly crisp bite. Again, they don't add too much of it - I'm actually used to more pickle and less meat in shawarma sandwiches. The entire wrap is pressed and warmed, enough to get some of the saj to develop a crackly crispy edge. The sandwich is served with a couple of olives and two strange orange colored pickles. Super salty and slightly acidic, but somewhat floppy. (5/5) Shawarma Time serves some of the most authentic shawarma that I've found in the Seattle Metro. People who are used to Mediterranean Gyro-fusion shawarma might not enjoy the kind of service and amenities Shawarma Time provides, but for me, I'll definitely be visiting again for more.
