Dropped in on a Saturday around lunch time for a quick bite. My wife had the falafel pita sandwich and I had the Saturday special, a gyro with fries for $7.50. We also had a piece of baklava. The falafel was good - not the best ever though. My gyro was jam packed with meat. Onions, tomato and tzatziki complemented it as usual. The tzatziki seemed a little different from the usual, but maybe it was just me. It was still good. Both pitas were very good sized - no skimping here. Fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. A good fry. Service was friendly. Beverages are self service. Restaurant is an average for cleanliness. I will return! Especially for that Saturday special! read more

Rude to customers, and they make you pay extra for tzatziki sauce for your gyro. Every gyro I've ever bought in my life has come with tzatziki for free except from this joke of a gyro place. Go to Greek house instead. Life's too short to let businesses treat you poorly and take your money. read more

FAT GYRO FULL OF MEAT! Best gyro I've had in a while. You won't regret it. I'm going back to order the platter for gyro night! read more

Food is great!! I love the chicken, the Mediterranean salad and the hummus. Service is fast and friendly.

Fair food. Hole on the wall place. Overpriced. Nothing spectacular for sure. Overrated in my opinion. Won't be back. Cheers. read more

Gyro Hero - Pick 3 meal! There were fries but my daughter ate them all on the way home!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

The sandwiches and falafel basket are very delicious. You can order a soft drink as well. How refreshing.

Always outstanding! Super large portions made fresh. I try to eat here at least twice per week. Have never tried anything that disappointed. read more

Gyros here are meaty and filling. If you prefer your gyro hefty and meat-centric, this is the place for you! Meat is seasoned right, perfect texture and cook, very tasty, and like I said, there is plenty of it. Pita super soft and not one bit chewy. If you want a salad mixed in, you may have to ask for it, because gyro comes with and only a little onion and tomato, no lettuce. Personally I prefer a little more veg and lettuce. Tzatziki was on point. Add a little of their cilantro-based "shug sauce" for a nice herbal and slightly spicy touch, but a little goes a long way. Regular menu prices are a little high, but they run daily specials that help some, including $5 gyros daily from 2-7 pm. It's one of the best deals around. Cook (owner?) is a a very nice guy, super friendly and proud of his food, as he should be. Location is simple, in a strip mall next to a gas station, so don't expect too much by way of ambience. It's more of a quick bite or takeout place. As good as their gyro was, I'm very much looking forward to trying more of their menu. read more

I have been a loyal customer to Greek House for 30+ years and had not had a gyro from anywhere else in over 20 years. Recently, due to the poor service and dirty conditions at Greek House, I tried Gyro Hero. It was ok. Nothing spectacular but not bad either. I would say it is your average gyro place. I will probably try some other places before I go back. I did only try the traditional gyro. I do like the fact they have other items and will probably try one in the future if I do go back. read more

This place has literally the best falafel I've ever had in the US. I used to live in New York, and i genuinely prefer this to any of the top-rated (yelp, ny times) places I tried there. Maybe there's somewhere in Dearborn that's this good, but living in Oklahoma, I feel so lucky to have this nearby. Usually I'm a rampant carnivore, but this place is the exception for me. The tabouli is also unusually good, imo. read more

Great friendly people, great atmosphere and prices are competitive. Not as tasty as another similar restaurant that is closed on Sunday, also in all yea, I'd go back on a Sunday. read more

Not much for atmosphere, but the gyros are big and good. Another hidden gem on their menu is the chicken pita. The use a lemon sauce to add flavor and it is amaze balls. Try it with the Greek side salad for a heart healthy feast!!! read more

This place was pretty good and well priced. You get quite a bit of food! The pita with my order was a little dry but the one I ordered extra was better. The hummus isn't bad but could use more flavor and the salad dressing really had no flavor (just tasted like oil). The wontons looked overcooked but were AMAZING! I've never had the falafel before but they were really really good- crunchy and great flavor! read more

Ive been coming to this restaurant for around 5 years whenever Im in Norman for work. Ive been in here 3 times in the last 3 weeks and order the same thing...gryo and fries and everytime the meat has been very dry. I figured out what the problem is tonight. They arent cutting the meat fresh with each order. They are pre cutting it and letting it sit therefore drying it out. Probably wont be back which is a shame because I love me a good melt in your mouth gyro like I can get in Okc.... read more

Though it has now been here for a while, Gyro Hero is still a relative "newby" compared to the other long-time gyros places in Norman: Greek House and Ole Towne. Gyro Hero has some things to really recommend it versus the older gyros places: It is slightly larger and more inviting inside than the others, if you are going to dine in and the customer service is far better than that currently at Greek House, which is sadly off its game since it changed owners again. The problem is one that I have never really encountered at a gyros place before. The meat is just not as tasty. How that can be the case, I don't know. Generally gyros places get meat from the same supplier, historically "Kronos" or a close facsimile. Most also use an "autodoner" for heating the meat, but I have seen other methods including heating slices on a grill that have turned out equally tasty meat. But somehow the meat here, though "okay" is just not as tasty as Greek House or Ole Towne. The tzatziki sauce is likewise only "okay" with Greek House being better and Ole Towne being the tastiest. The things that make it somewhat unique are the other offerings, which include include some chicken dishes, dolmas and other interesting items. Check their menu! For my palate, the most interesting and tastiest item at Gyro Hero is the Harissa Aioli that you can use in place of the less flavorful tzatziki they have. Of the two original gyros places in town, only Ole Towne Gyros and Kabobs offers as wide ranging a set of selections with better flavor. However, Ole Towne has had supply issues, while Gyro Hero is usually well supplied. So, though I would normally give the edge to Ole Towne, I have to rank Gyro Hero as currently being as good in a general sense because of the variety of dishes that they reliably have on hand. However, if you are in it ONLY for gyros, I'd likely head to Ole Towne or Greek House. read more

The gyro here is delicious. It's my favorite spot in town to get meat. Also, the owner is a very kind person, the rest of the staff here are great too. I'm a regular customer and they always remember me and my dog. It feels like I'm visiting friends when I walk in (: also, they keep the place clean. You can tell this is a good business. read more

If you want some excellent Greek food you will love Gyro Hero! Food is so delicious with huge portions and quick friendly service! A little bit pricey but again the food is authentic Greek! I highly recommend the Spanakopita Wontons and Mediterranean Chicken Pita Sandwich! read more

At one time this was my absolute favorite place to grab a gyro - no longer. We hadn't been in for a couple of months, simply because, while we like eating out, I've never been a huge fan of takeaway food. But this place has always been really solid, and I had a craving, so I ordered the $60 family platter for my daughter-in-law's birthday brunch. When I got there I went inside and paid. I was distracted by a phone call, and I'm not accustomed to having to inspect the kitchens where I eat anyway, so I'll go ahead and take ownership of the fact that I should have been more vigilant before paying, but when I looked up not a sole behind the counter was wearing a mask. Not one. When I realized, I was so livid that I couldn't even speak. I just threw my order together, walked out, and threw it all in the bed of my truck to throw away later. As of today, we've had almost 180,000 Americans perish because of the Trump Virus, and seeing these people with straight-up absolute disrespect for that statistic sickens me. I won't be back; not during the pandemic, not after the pandemic, not ever. If they have this little regard for absolute BASIC safety and hygiene, then I can only imagine what happens when nobody is looking. As far as I'm concerned, they can shutter the cafe down tomorrow and Norman will be a safer place. read more

Never had Lebanese food before. This was very good and we will be getting it again. Don't know exactly what we had, it was last week, but the chicken was very good, the salad was good and I loved the olives. read more

Delicious marinated chicken breast. The gyro meat is also very tasty. I like the falafel just ok though, it could use more salt. We ordered a family meal tonight with 5 extra pitas for about $58 after tax. There was A LOT of food! read more

The food is delicious. We usually get takeout. The Greek tzatziki sauce is great on your gyros.

Always have had good experiences here! The food never disappoints and the front staff have also been very kind and friendly. Baklava is a must. read more

Ordered a pick 4 combo with hummus, fries, salad and gyros meat (additional charge). Also gyro wontons and a side of shug sauce. The food was decent but not all great. Great fries, decent salad and hummus. The meat is where I was disappointed. It was thin and dry, bearing a portion that would make you laugh even though you weren't amused. I think I've been spoiled by many years of the Greek House, where they pile it on and it is juicy and flavorful. The wontons were crispy but lack flavor, but now I can have the satisfaction of saying that I tried them. I did not receive my side of Shug sauce even though I paid for it. The hummus comes topped with it anyways, so I got to try it. The Harissa Aioli sauce that comes with the fries was good. The place is clean and staff were polite. They have guest Wi-Fi but they don't know the password?? All in all I can say it was just OK. With drinks the cost was near $21 and we left hungry. At the aforementioned place, you'll spend half that, leaving full and happy every time. read more

Menu was surprisingly diverse! Yummy food great portions. Would recommend for a quick bite.

This is good Mediterranean cuisine. Their gyros are delicious, as are their deserts. They also have terrific staff who work hard to give you prompt service. read more

Great place for Greek gyros. I order mine to go every chance I get. Super fast service, clean establishment, and friendly staff. I do not go to any other place but Gyro Hero. read more

Closed early despite advertised ours. When I pointed out the sign on the door and the hours they list online, the owner yelled at me and said that he didn't want my business. Unreliable and rude. The place looked dirty too. read more

I am def teetering between 3 and 4 stars here. On my scale, 3 is neutral. Pretty good, not terrible. Gyro Hero opened mid-August, in a shopping center on the east side. Still pretty new center, there's only 3 places in it. We came around 1 and there were 3 other people in there. Fairly small, very hot in there. Menu is on the small side but that didn't bother me. They've got a few appetizers, salads and platters. We tried the spanakopita wontons, gyro wontons (both with tzaziki dipping sauce) and hummus + pita. I def didn't like the spanakopita. The frozen spinach flavor was overwhelming and not good. The gyro ones were pretty good. The hummus also was not good. Something very bitter in an aftertaste. The pita is good though. Overall, I don't need appetizers. I ordered the gyro sandwich (no tomatoes) with fries + extra tzaziki + harissa aioli. First of all, the gyro is a good size and the meat is really good. It's also got brown crispy bits from being seated on a flat top after the spit, and it's not all those flat gray strips like most places. They used white onions, I prefer red. The pita is on the thinner side which I enjoy because it's not insanely filling just off bread. The fries are good. Medium cut with the skins on the end. A course sea salt sprinkled on top. The real star is the harissa aioli. I'm not even kidding. It comes with the fries for dipping sauce. I literally ate 3 ramekins of it. So have my lunch consisted of flavored mayo, which is a new low for me but I don't care. It was so good. I ate a friends scrappy fries, the corner of another friends wontons he broke for, frankly anything that would serve as a vehicle for the mayo. Def worth a stop if you're on that side of town! read more

Best greek food in Norman. Fresh fried falafel, hot fries, crispy salad, fresh gyro meat and soft pita. 10/10

If you like Greek food, look no further than Gyro Hero. I've tried their sandwiches, plates, appetizers, and desserts, and all are great. They have huge portions and my favorite thing to get is the plate with gyros, fries, salad, and pita bread. Soooo good. I like to order take out from here rather than eat in, because it's a small place, but it's not small on customer service or attentiveness. So, definitely check out Gyro Hero! read more

Quick delivery tasty food but I kind of feel like I got cheated out of some of my French fries. as much as I spent for two orders of fries I think I should have gotten a little more than what I did. other than that I am satisfied with my delivery and my meal will probably buy from you guys again in the future. read more

Gyro Hero - Feels like just a little bit for 2 orders of fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

The Gyro sandwich was good; pita was very fresh and the meat was a little more seasoned that the Greek House. The baklava was fresh but lacked flavor that I am use to in a good homemade Baklava. The overall experience was good and I would be willing to come back. Price wise it it a little higher than the Greek House but it is roomier and customer service was excellent. read more

We've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. We always get greeted when we walk in and everyone is always super friendly. Today we started with the humus (AWSOME) and gyro wantons (AWSOME)! The meal consisted of gyro sandwich/fries and gyro salad. We couldn't finish it all and had to take home. This place does not skimp on ingredients. Do yourself a favor and try his place out quickly if you're in the mood for Greek food. Can't wait to return! read more

We had this delivered by OrderUp on a Friday night. Even though it was delivered, the food was all still in VERY good shape when it arrived. The standard gyro was great! Gyros can be hard to mess up, but this one was on point. It was huge, the meat was not dry. The pita was not tough or rubbery. I thought it was great. I got a very nice version of what I was expecting. The Mrs. ordered what was essentially the chicken gyro with fixin's. Tons of meat. It was a touch on the drier side, but it was still very good. The chicken is high quality and in chunks (not shaved). Add a touch of tzaziki and BAM, you're in business! The hummus was nice. Pretty standard. The medium size was much too big for two people. We will have to go give it a shot in-person. We will certainly order it through OrderUp again! read more

My husband and I tried this for dinner tonight. We will never come back here. A 30 minute wait, for 2 to-go orders. The food was cold, the fryer oil was old and burnt so the falafel and the fried wontons were disgusting. They forgot the fries that came with our orders and they never gave me my receipt which I asked for 2 times. Both of us felt sick after eating a couple bites. It was questionable looking. We stopped eating after that. read more
