This place was really good, I got the lamb Gyro with everything on it and a side of fries with feta a sauce on them. It was almost too much food but momma didn't raise a quitter! All jokes aside the food was great the price was average for Portland these days but you will get a ton of food so bring an appetite. The guys were really nice and friendly. I love these whole in the wall type places. read more

Gyro Grill - Lamb Gyro and Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Start the food before I get to the store? I had to say something before this man even acknowledged me. Food wasn't started and he said give me 3 minutes. Falafel in 3 minutes? Tastes like a 3 minute meal. Never again. read more

Delicious food, good value, and great service. If you're lucky enough to experience these 3 things in every restaurant there would be no need to rate restaurants. I will return. read more

I first discovered Gyro Grill by chance during a stop at Corner Market, an aptly-named local convenience store. I had just popped in for some iced tea and almonds, but I walked out with two delicious gyros and a big, happy smile instead! Seriously, what a surprise! As you enter the convenience store, head straight to the far left corner of the building. You'll find a deli-style counter with several places to sit, and some of the most delicious gyros I've found in Portland. The staff are super friendly, and open to customized orders. They have a wide selection of Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle Eastern food such as gyros, shawarma, falafel, baklava and more. I've never phoned my order in, but I'm sure that's possible. What impresses me most about this neighborhood gem is how speedy they are in preparing the food. Everything is prepared fresh, made-to-order right in front of customers. The thick, shaved slices of meat juicy and tender, but also have just a little bit of charred meat if you're lucky enough to get some from the exterior of the rotisserie. I'm getting hungry writing this review, so that's usually a good sign! Stop by and let me know what you think! read more

Wow, the place is unassuming but the food is SO good. Chicken plate was delicious. Generous portions, great hummus, pickled veggies. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! read more

A hole in the wall, but really a convenient store, to get some gyros. Don't expect much as far as ambiance, but if you're on the go, it's a decent place to pick up gyros. Unfortunately, they ran out of beef while we were there so we got the lamb gyro and loaded fries with chicken. The fries tasted fine, but the chicken was nothing special. The lamb gyro were much tastier. They give you a nice portion of food. They forgot our order of regular fries so we had to remind them. They rushed it out in a timely manner. read more

I just love this restaurant! I get my orders to go and they are ready so fast and are so delicious!

Being in a corner store might put you off, but the food is fantastic! Its my go to spot when I'm working on this end of town.

Used to be a better place but lately has fallen in quality and portion sizes. Prices are also way up. We use to come here regularly and last two times I tried we were not happy with the food quality. read more

If you're going to channel your inner Seinfeld soup nazi you better have the food to back it up. They don't. I'll start by saying that the food wasn't bad, the gyros are weird as it's a ground meat combo instead of traditional gyro slices, but I'm up for change if it's good. But the experience was horrible. I started with a call to order some food for pickup and should have just hung up the phone and looked elsewhere, but I went through with it and things just got worse. Call goes like this: Them: Hello. Me: (a little thrown off that a business would just say hello instead of the name) Uh hi, can I order some food for pick up? (still not sure if I had the right number) Them: Yes Me: Oh ok, are you ready? Them: I'm waiting.... Not a great start, but maybe the person that answers is having a bad day, so I continue. I proceed to order $70 of food including some gyros, a couple plates and extra tzatziki sauce. I start to confirm the order so it's right and he cuts me off telling me to hold on. He reads back part of the order and says he got it. Them: "Ok" *Hangs up the phone. Me: "Ok, how long....hello?" I go to pick up the food and go to the kitchen area and the guy says "What do you want?" I tell him that I called in an order and he asks "the big order?" Umm I guess? No idea if it's considered a big order but name a couple things in the order before he cuts me off. "Pay there." I take the receipt over to pay and ask the cashier if there is extra sauce on the order and the cashier goes "I don't know." Well, you're literally holding the order receipt so.... He looks at me so I ask if it's on the receipt. He reads it back and says no. After paying I go back to the kitchen area and ask for extra gyro sauce. He asks how many and I say 5. His response was really mad, like the order is going to take an extra hour or something. "For 5 I'm going to charge you." I tell him that's fine. I don't mind paying for the extras. He huffs over to the register to ring it up and again "pay there." So I head over and pay for the extra sauce. I get back and he's squirting a three difference sauces into little cups. I say "Oh I just wanted the tzatziki sauce" and he goes ballistic. "Why didn't you tell me that before?!?! I'm the only one here and I have a lot of work" I just look at him a bit surprised that he's gotten so mad about a minor request when I specifically ordered the sauce on the phone and then told him I wanted the gyro sauce. "You're going to have to wait, I have other orders to do." At this point I'm over being nice and spending my time with someone that's overly angry for nothing I've done. "Never mind, don't bother." I grab the sauces that were poured and put them in the bag to have him call me an a-hole while I walk out the door. Dude was unnecessarily angry from the get go, but to call me an a-hole when I'm leaving cause I don't want to wait around for his angry attitude to get me some more sauce is the epitome of a business that never deserves my business again. read more

Delicious gyros for a great price! Extremely fast and customizable. I had the lamb gyro with everything on it and it was the best gyro I ever had! read more

Drove out of my way to go to this place , arrived at 8:26 and it says on yelp open till 9:30 not too impressed with that. Can't say how the food is since i didn't get any :( read more

First time here. And I'll definitely be back. Little spot inside of a market. I had the lamb gyro and it was filling and full of flavor. I like the big chunks of meat in it rather than thin slices of meat. Sauces that came with it were tasty as well. The baklava was just average. Other that that food was made fresh to order. Give it a try read more

I had the lamb gyro with everything on it. It was pretty good. Creatively wrapped. Pita was a tad dry but not too much. I've been seeking the best gyro in Sellwood Moreland and surrounding area and so far the best (in my humble gyro loving opinion) is Gyro Grill on 32nd and Johnson creek. I would definitely come back here and try other things but probably not the gyro. I'd prefer to give a 3.8, but if my choice is 3 or 4 I have to go with 3 as 4 is too high. read more

Great gyros! These guys are super friendly and the food is amazing! I always get mine to go but they have a nice place to sit and eat too.

Wow! I wasn't expecting something so amazing from a gyro place inside a c-store. The lamb was so tender and delicious. I had the gyro and my wife had the shawarma. We split fries (dipped in garlic sauce). I live 20 mins away, but this is a destination place to eat! read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior, this place is legit and so good. It's connected to a minimart, which in my experience is never a good sign for a restaurant, but everything here is made fresh. The gyros are so good and made with lamb shavings off the vertical broiler which any good gyro place should have. They put a ton of ingredients in it so it's pretty messy so I wouldn't go here for a date, but taste wise it's 5/5. The fries are also surprisingly great. Like McDonald's fries but better. read more

Had a wonderful experience here. I got a vegan falafel platter which was delicious. It came with pickled vegetables, rice, hummus, and a delicious dolma. My friends got shawarma platters and everyone really enjoyed them. We also got a very large serving of fries and pita. The portions were huge and the prices were super reasonable. Fast, friendly service, and there was plenty of seating too. Gyro Grill is a hidden gem! read more

I got the chicken plate and everything tasted so fresh! The chicken was cooked with the perfect amount of char. Everyone there had a super friendly vibe and our food was ready so fast. Everything was seasoned so well. Also get the garlic sauce!! I will definitely be back. read more

I love their lamb gyros because for $8, you get a very big, filling meal full of meat, sauce and tomatoes etc. but I love it because it's messy. This is a destination for me. I also love that it's in a convenience store. It's off the beaten path. There are a lot more choices but there are only so many meals in the day. read more

Just one guy was making our family order for he had it down in 10 minutes and it tasted amazing. He even gave us a free side since it was our first time. There is a few small tables inside but overall it's a nice quiet spot with amazing food. read more

Not sure what the high reviews are for, they claim their lamb is marinated and grilled but it is cheap chunk gyro meat from frozen. Yuck. The pictures of the chicken kabob they show is nothing like the cheap ground chicken you get. Nothing is hand-made there. read more

This place is amazing. My husband forgot his wallet at home. They let him bring my food and said come back to pay Good food thank you read more

I've been on a mission to try all the gyro places in the area. This isn't too bad! I asked my husband to pick it up so I didn't see it inside, but he described it as a little restaurant inside the convenience store on the corner of 32nd and Johnson Creek, where you get a receipt to hand over to the store clerk to pay. The only negative things were when the Grill employee handed my husband the bag, my husband asked, "is this everything?" And the guy said yes. Husband drove home to discover the baklava was not in there so he drove back in rush hour to get it. He also ordered curly fries but got waffle fries instead. However, the prices were reasonable and everything was fresh and delicious. The falafels were a little.. spongy, which is interesting, as I've never had such a spongy falafel but it was by no means inedible. Most of the veggies were fresh except the tomatoes were mealy. Husband said his lamb gyro was good but messy. Definitely order an extra side of tzatziki sauce! The house hot sauce was also super flavorful and good. read more

The food is awesome. Don't let the store front fool you. The lamb and the beef gyros are on point!

The ingredients here are fresh and delicious and rival all my favorite food carts! Flavor country. Order your gyro, then while you wait for your food (and for your mind to be blown) peruse the surprisingly excellent beer, wine and cider selection. The owner Raz definitely knows what's good. read more

Food was tasty. DEFINITELY call order in ahead of time here if you're going in anytime around dinner or on a weekend. Waiting on-site was a bummer for me, particularly as a woman. Prominently positioned tv inside had swimsuit/buttcheek "bathing beauties" videos on repeat. No ventilation or hand sanitizer. Didn't see hand washing or glove use, but wasn't watching like a hawk either. Outside full of cigarette butts & smells, with nowhere to sit. Time estimate given for order was 20 minutes but it took almost an hour, so just checking out completely on my phone in my car didn't feel like an option. Seemed that owner ok'd someone to cut in line ahead of previously placed orders. His right, I guess. Aside from some lack conscientiousness (is that a word?), owner and staff seem friendly. I won't be going back. read more

Do not be fooled by the fact that it is apart of a mini mart, the food is great, I personally think it is the best gyro and Schwarma in Portland. Doesn't take too long for the food to be ready, and they have a small little waiting area. I recommend ordering to go because there is not much seating but if you do eat there, all the workers are friendly and the got some music bumping. read more

Yep--these guys are the real deal!!! Amazing portions of food with lots of meat for $10!!! Super friendly staff located off tacoma in a convenience store! Don't let this hole-in-the-wall fool you--their food is excellent and authentic! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

Once you get past the paraphernalia for smoking meth, heroin, and fentanyl, you realize that these people are up to no good and that includes the food that they want to serve you. I'd recommend any of the gyros carts in Sellwood over these folks. read more

I got the chicken plate and the chicken was wonderful. Large portions so would be easy to split into two meals, but the chicken and rice is so good it's hard to stop eating. There's a garlic spicy sauce and what I THINK is tzatziki sauce drizzled on top. It's not too spicy though, unless you are super sensitive to spice you should be fine. The Hummus was mediocre - a little runny and under seasoned for my taste. I did a little drizzle of it on top but between the other sauces on the chicken it wasn't necessary. I dipped some veggies in it and that was good too. You also get a small side of pickled veggies. They were fresh and tasty, though I would've liked them to be a little MORE pickled. They were kind of in between fresh and pickled. Overall very good. I'll definitely be back to try the gyro and falafel. read more

This place is gold. I have been going back more than a few times since first discovering the place. The preparation of the food is terrific. I love that they sear the Gyro meat on the grill before making the Gyrod etc. Best Gyro on the east side imo. I wish they had 1/2 sized orders of Fries cuz they are huge. read more

Great food and customer service. We usually get lamb plates but have tried everything on the menu and love it. The guys that work there are always super kind and quick. read more

Finally made it in to this joint, and wasn't disappointed! Had the lamb gyro, add hot sauce. Mango lassi as an extra treat. Lamb gyro was delicious, chunks of tender meat with an irregular cut shape which gave a perfect mix of chunk and strip. The onions, lettuce and tomato were fresh and colorful, and the tzatziki was dilly and creamy but not heavy at all. The pita bread was the perfect blend of soft and toasty in parts, and absorbed some of the extra juice perfectly, but of course I still ended up with some on my damned shirt. What else is new! Mango lassi was tangy and delicious. I would not hesitate to come back here again. Be ready for interesting seating, weather was nice outside so I sat on the slightly bizarre booth seat, making everyone turning the corner off of Tacoma onto Johnson Creek wonder what I was up to but let's be honest, that neighborhood can use a little intrigue every now and again. read more

OUTSTANDING! My hubby and I ordered lamb, delivered by grub hub. I was a little worried, I knew I would like it because I had had it several weeks ago and it was great then too. My husband is super picky and critical of new places. He literally could not stop talking about how good the food was and how big the portion was. Within ten minutes of starting to eat, he had sent messages to 3 of his friends telling them they need to try Gyro Grill. We will undoubtedly be returning for more deliciousness Note: I would post a pic but I've already eaten most of it! read more

So, this place serves DELICIOUS food! From the outside you would never think that there is a tasty deli inside. It's one of those "whole in the wall" happy surprises you stumble into! I love their Lamb Gyros and the Lamb plate is so tasty! Full of a tasty side of crunchy, pickled and fresh veggies, a side of creamy hummus and a big portion of lamb and rice. The garlic sauce is so good. Portions are big, it's a-lot of food. A must have is a side of felafels (because they are so good) read more

Super solid gyro. Had the lamb. Always appreciate when its right off the spit. Delicious sauces, good portion for the price. I will be back.

I'm from Detroit, where Middle Eastern food is as commonplace as coffee shops in Portland. I know what's good, and this place isn't very good. This was my first trip to Gyro Grill, and probably my last. It was quite average. Plentiful for the price, but I wasn't terribly impressed. I ordered a lamb kabap plate, a chicken kabap plate, fattoush salad, and a hummus & pita side. The plus side, huge portions of meat for the price. Meat was seasoned well. Dolmas, pretty tasty, was added on the side of all of our dishes. That's the only good things I have to say. The minus: Flies in the kitchen. I watched a few land on the food while I was waiting. For two plates and an order of hummus, I was only given ONE piece of pita. Certainly this must be a mistake. For a 4.99 side of hummus & pita, and two entrees, the pita portion was a joke. Portions are a little out of proportion. More rice was needed. Rice needs seasoning. Hummus is a little thin in consistency and flavor. Would benefit from more tahini. I can only describe the Fattoush as stupid. This wasn't a fattoush salad at all-- it was undressed shredded lettuce meant for the sandwiches, 1" thick tomato slices, topped with handfuls of pickled mixed vegetables. I asked for garlic sauce, but this wasn't any sort of Toum. My chicken was doused in a runny, flavorless Tzatsiki and some sort of oily buffalo sauce. The lamb was dry. For those of you looking for real Middle Eastern food, go to Cartlandia, to the truck behind the bar, Al Mustafa. read more
