We tried Gyro Kabob House yesterday for lunch and this small restaurant has amazing food. There are so few gyro places that have lamb. Usually it is lamb mixed with beef and I have an intolerance to beef so I have to be careful or I'll get sick. I had the Lamb Shishlik which is: Grilled lamb with a stir-fry of veggies. Onions, tomatoes, green peppers, crushed hot peppers and mushrooms. My friend had the Beef shishlik no mushrooms. My friend has an allergy to mushrooms and they were great working around that. The food was well seasoned the pita was soft and fluffy like a good pita should be. The white sauce was yummy, and yes that is what it is called. Ambiance- This place can seat about 15 people and the person at the register also cooks the food. He served us as well and was polite and willing to explain things to us but we were ok. He helped other people that came in after us and was very efficient and kind. We will be back cannot wait to try other items on the menu!! read more

Extremely excited to try this place and wasn't disappointed. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. They allow you to fill up side ramekins with hot sauce and white cucumber sauce. The chicken gyro was good 9/10 and the fries were perfect. Def recommend :) read more

Honestly when I went inside to order there was three men behind the counter. one man in the kitchen sitting & vaping. I ordered a plater & 1 lamb chop at the counter. that gentleman was very professional. The total was $32, which surprised me. the rice was bland with one slice of green pepper. the meat was very dry but flavorful. I added the lettuce, onions and the one tomato (they called it a salad) into the rice to create a crunch. Didn't eat it all as the porton size was for two..... I will not go there again. read more

My grandson and I had lunch there today.Best gyro and fries I've ever had. Service was excellent. Will be returning soon. You must try it!!!!! read more

This place is excellent! It is a hole in the wall Middle Eastern spot that has reasonably priced food, great gyros and amazing fries. When I went, it was take out only and the neighborhood was not great around the restaurant, but the food was on point it was very reasonably priced. I got the #28 lamb gyro with fries and a drink. Gyro was very good, a little too much sauce in my personal opinion but I just used a napkin to wipe a little away. The fries were really good with a good crisp when you bite into them. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Don't judge by the outside look. This little hole in the wall is great. They have a large menu above the register. I asked for some help, and the young man behind the counter recommended the 21. It has chicken, peppers, onions, and rice. The amount of food was enough for two. The smell was good. I watched the cook making magic as he cooked the food. I opened the Styrofoam container and couldn't wait to dig in. The first taste was nice. The food was hot and had really good flavor. The cook and the young man were both very nice. I will returned read more

This place is a hole in the wall next to a gas station. It doesn't look like much, but they make as good a gyro (and fries!) as I've found. The meat is tender and perfectly spiced. The sauce (tzatziki?) is creamy, tangy, and lightly herbaceous. The pita is puffy, with just the right amount of chewiness. The fries are lightly battered, and are crispy outside and pillowy and steaming inside--if you get them to go, make sure you can dig into them before they have a chance to get soggy from steam inside the styrofoam tray. read more

Great kebabs. Good prices. Quick service! I have no complaints here. I had the kofta combo and was pleased. It's a small place next door to a liquor store and shell gas station but I would definitely suggest trying it would, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great small hole in the wall place that sells yummy and affordable to-go Mediterranean food. Though the environment is very simple and plain and seating is limited, the food is tasty and service is quick. You simply order on the counter and get your drinks/deserts/other refrigerated food items from the fridge, and they'll call you when your food is ready! My boyfriend who has a strong aversion to cilantro was still able to enjoy the food. They serve the shshlik with half cilantro rice and half brown rice but the spices of the overall dish made the cilantro manageable for my partner. Great place to pick up a meal on the way home from work! read more

Gyro Kabob House - Chicken & falafel shshlik - Middle Eastern Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Super fast and yummy kebab and love the shashlik as well. Sometimes they have okra as a side and that's so good!

My wife, who is easy to please, wasn't pleased. I didn't finish my falafel. It was sweet, yuck, why? It was also slathered in unappetizing sauce, was it supposed to be tahini? The hummus didn't taste like hummus, just odd. My daughter doesn't like mid eastern food, so she got chicken tenders, which I don't expect to be good from this type of place. My issue is that the styrofoam was melted on the top. My other daughter did report enjoying dill on the gyro. read more

We found this no frills, small kabob restaurant off the highway on one of our road trips to DC when we pulled over for gas. If you know about kabob spots, you know little spots like this pack that flavor! We decided on the Chicken Tika and Beef Kofta With rice as well as the Chicken Tika which wasn't on the menu but they were kind enough to accommodate since the wife doesn't eat beef. Our meals were wonderful, as expected. The spices were perfect and our dishes came with two different types of rice. The most memorable to me was the cilantro rice. As a Latina who loves cilantro, I've never had rice like this. It was sooo flavorful!! Overall, the service and food were delish!! We'll always stop here on our trips if we pass through Delaware. read more

Tasty rise, juicy meat. No restroom. Small room. Complicated to find. Good place to take out, not to eat inside.

A consistent, delicious gyro. A stop I go out of my way to make since the first time I did it. Softest pita, great meat that always taste fresh, and amazing accompaniments. I've tried other items, like sides, but the gyro is the item that really shines through. Staff is always kind. It's just a small little restaurant, and I'm only ever passing through so I'll just eat in my car in the parking lot, but I've definitely seen families and couples sitting down and eating in there. Definitely check it out if you're in the area, or just happen to be passing through like me. read more

We've been customers for over three years and always recommend the gyro to our friends. Tender meat, fresh ingredients and overall great flavor. Last night we ordered gyros to go and arrived home to an 8 oz. Gyro that was much smaller than what we have come to expect. I will note that the prices have not changed in all of this time. Unfortunately, we were still hungry after finishing. This was a first. read more

Plenty of room . Excellent food. Good wait staff . Reasonable price. The only negative is finding parking near the restaurant.

Genuinely Best Gyro of my life. Sauce on point, bread super soft and fresh. Perfect stop every time i am in town.

We were really excited to try this place after reading the reviews. We pulled into the small parking lot and were figuring out what we were going to order. Then I noticed the cook not wearing a mask and talking on his phone. Then someone delivered something to the store wearing a tshirt with the store's name on it. Also not wearing a mask. Then a third guy came out of the back in the restaurant not wearing a mask either. NOPE! We pulled right out of the lot and left. read more

The absolute best place I've had gyros at. The lamb is always juicy and seasoned well. The fries are hot and crisp.....and the service? The friendliness of the staff rocks. I highly recommend this spot. Just be careful. Very limited parking on 273. Might be better off going into the neighborhood and parking out back. read more

The place sucks. The owner doesn't care about you. He yelled at me and took my food without giving a refund when I told him it had too much sauce in it. How are you gonna take my food and not give a refund. read more

It's so good I have to write a review again. The food is so yummy, that it is hard to try something new for fear of missing out. The flavor very consistent.. you can order something years from now, and it will taste the same as today. I usually order in large amounts- for 8-12 people. I have had a couple issues with missing items, but it is fixed right away with no problems. I will come back again and again. read more

we have been get food from this place for the last 15 years and have recommended them to many friends. they were known for their delectable food. today I was so disappointed with the quality of the gyro and even more disappointed that when I called to let them know that the pita bread was like a hard shell taco .. there was no attempt at service recovery. the person on the phone was extremely nonchalant and said.. we were busy and it stayed on the grill for too long. not that the owner cares but you just lost a customer not for the one off food but for your non existent customer service.. try the word sorry sometimes.. it might just make a difference. that is all I was looking for! read more

I wanted to like this place, considering its flexible hours and convenient location and my general love of Halal NY style food, but was left disappointed. The lamb gyro was not tender, and the combo platter had a deluge of rather tasteless sauce - at prices that should provide a lot better. Avoid. read more

I'm going to remember this meal for a long time! We were stopping at the Biden Welcome Center to charge our car and get some food, but thanks to Corona, Burger King was the only food option open inside... so I got on Yelp and thankfully this gem came up and was only a 4 minute drive away from the rest area! We called our order in as we were driving over and grabbed it inside when we arrived to quickly eat in the car before getting back on the road. I had a good feeling from the pictures on Yelp, but the taste really beat all expectations I had! We ordered the Chicken tikka and Beef Kofta (#13) and a falafel sandwich. The two kinds of rices with the kabobs were so delicious, the chicken was perfectly cooked and so tender, and the yogurt & dill sauce on the sandwich was exactly what I needed. Do not hesitate to stop by and make your tastebuds happy! read more

I've lived in Delaware my entire life but just recently stumbled upon this place when I had a craving for a lamb over rice platter! I decided to check it out and ordered food for myself and my dad. I ordered the New York Style Gyro and my father had a Beef Gyro with fries. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be returning for more soon :) read more

Excellent Gyro. Soft and chewy pita. Gyro has fresh veggies. Sauce is cool and tastes of dill, tarragon, and mint. The lamb is well executed and served in large chunks. It is very savoury and properly seasoned. The portion is generous and we'll balanced in coolness and meatiness. The mouthfeel is both crisp in it's veggies, soft in the pita, and unctuous in the meat. Very well executed Gyro. Check this place out. read more

There are so many new Gyro spots but none will ever beat this one! They are addicting

They were dry,,, overcooked. Sauce was horrible. Better at ARBY!! These are way tasty read more

This is my go to Kabob and Gyro place. Nothing fancy but the food is always freshly prepared and the value is there.

Hole in the wall with amazing food. I've been coming here for years, mostly for carry out, and they never fail. Hands down, best wings I've ever had. Also amazing, are their gyros and cheesesteaks. Many items to choose from, all are delish. Limited parking in the front, additional in the back. read more

I can't believe I have not reviewed this place yet. Gyro Kabob House used to be my goto place when I stayed in Delaware. Let me describe the experience. So you enter the place and it looks like a regular small fast food place with a TV and few tables. The line to order food keeps growing and sometimes is out of the door. So be prepared to wait. The menu is standard Mediterranean food with falafel and gyros. You place order and wait for it to come out. Heavy use of plastics even if you are dining in. What differentaties is the food quality, people and free chai. Let me start with chai (tea with milk). They have a pot out there for yuh out to enjoy tea while you wait for your food. It's a bit on the sweeter side but always warm and has strong cardamom flavor. Really very good. The people are very attentive and polite. The guy keeps a look out for you even if he is extremely busy. Kudos. Finally, food tastes awesome. Well cooked meat full of flavors. Their white sauce is excellent. Loved it. Also, the prices are very reasonable like around $7-$12. They have family menu options which might be cheaper if you are a large party. Few things you should note - no restrooms. Could not find any. And, if you take things to-go then they charge you 50 cents for sauces which typically is free when you dine in. Overall, I highly recommend this place for some good-ol Mediterranean food. read more

I've been missing getting delicious Gyro Sammies and Platters since moving to Southern New Jersey from NNJ/NYC. I work in Wilmington and my friend put me on. Oh my goodness. I've now had the gyro pita Sammie and the NY Platter (chopped pita and lamb over rice). Delicious. And the server both times - very friendly and welcoming. And it warms my heart that a beverage comes with the order. Cannot say enough good things. read more

Good food. Clean place. Good pics of all the different dishes. Fries were extra crispy. Baklava was yummy with a good balance of nuts and sweetness. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Great white sauce. Not the typical tsaziki you get other places. Flavorful selections of foods and drinks. We were offered free black tea, sweet weed with milk and sugar. Perfect for the cold day! Fun seasoning options on the table. Perfect stop right off the interstate and next to the gas station. read more

Man, this is really good food. We got ours takeout. You cannot go wrong bringing this home for the family gathering.

I drive by this place all the time and have always wanted to try it, and today was finally the day! A friend of mine had offered to get something for me, so I obviously took her up on her offer, and ordered a falafel gyro meal/combo. Usually I get falafel from a food cart in Newark, so I was curious to see if this stacked up to the other place. Final conclusion: I thought that the falafel was good here, but I think that I still prefer the food cart in Newark...just my personal preference. But, if I'm not in the mood to drive far, I'll definitely consider this place for a good falafel fix. read more

I got the cheesesteak. It's a Gyro Kabob house so I shouldn't have expected much even though they scored well on Yelp. Steady stream of customers and I was the only one eating a cheesesteak. read more

This unprepossessing spot immediately off I-95 in Delaware is a must-stop for me whenever I'm heading up or down the road. I love the lamb shashlik, so I call in the order when Im 10 mins out, jump literally just seconds off I-95, and get back on the highway much happier than when I got off. read more

Great spot to visit if you're looking for authentic middle eastern food that won't break the bank. This place is the epitome of a hole-in-the-wall; tiny, unassuming, and located directly next to a liquor store and gas station. Was a bit skeptical of all the rave Yelp reviews just based off of exterior alone, but the warm, chewy pita quickly changed my mind about Gyro Kabob House. Delicious fresh tzatziki sauce, flavorful falafel, and perfectly spiced chicken kabobs. Would definitely stop in again to try their infamous lamb gyros and stock up on falafel sandwiches. read more

Great service and even greater food. Love this place. I try to make it a point to pass by here when I drive either back or from NY/NJ.

The rice was like butter. I could die chowing down in a baby pool of that stuff. We arrived 45 min to close. They were already packed up-- take out only. Totally cool because I can't say I didn't have a good time destroying it at the hotel. We ordered #26 lamb chops and then a #16 Chicken, beef tika and beef kofta. ALLTHEMEAT. THNX. Insane lamb chops. They melted with the rice. The white sauce had a sweet tint and mixed beautifully with the rest. Normally I'm a white sauce advocate but totally don't even need it in this case. Both dinners came with a side salad I already forgot about but I did add those cucumbers to my rice. Mouth watering. Super good food considering there's nothing but chains in the immediate area. I just wish there was more pita! Definitely pars up and shoots jabs against NYC street food. read more
