Wonderful dinner experience! Food was fabulous! We had the Gyros and Baklava which were the best! They also served mint tea to us on silver platter and silver tea pot. Highly recommend! read more

I definitely enjoyed this meal tremendously. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma over rice and my wife ordered the Gyro combo with chicken. Both were delicious. Prices are reasonable. Services are ok. We will be back. read more

I ordered the King Gyro Combo. It was delicious, and they don't skimp on portion size. Everything was fresh and well prepared (and packaged). The meats are excellent. I favor lamb, but all were really good. You get an abundant portion of yellow rice, and the hummus is suburb! I have not dined in, but plan to! If you like Mediterranean food--check it out! I think it's one of the best, if not the best, in the area. read more

The service is terrific, the food is exceptional, but cannot remark on the ambience. I have to return to work and eat at my desk- all my coworkers are jealous! read more

Really solid spot for Mediterranean food. Went with the small platters for dinner. They were a great size. Plenty for an adult for dinner. Hummus was a little thin, but tasted great. I wish it came with thicker pita and more of it. Lots of meat on top, not just a giant bowl of rice. Only let down is the beef and lamb are the preformed stuff you usually see on a gyro, not the freshly made kind. Prices were great and the order was ready when we got there (ordered online). We will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Absolutely the worst gyro ever. The food looks nothing like the pictures and is a rip-off. The Mediterranean dressing is bottled store dressing and doesn't even give you enough even though it's terrible. The grilled chicken gyro was little chunks and nothing like the pictures. Didn't even desire to eat more than half my very bad meal. read more

Tasty food, well seasoned and not over salted. The eggplant was particularly good, as was the rice. The vegetables were fresh tho grilled and in the salad. The restaurant is simply not clean. From the floor to the bathrooms to the counter where you order, you really start to wonder about the food preparation in back? If they cleaned up their act they would really help themselves. read more

It was so authentic and delicious, I will definitely go back there again food was really good. It was more than enough, the sauces On the side made it a even better experience. All the food taste really moist wasn't dry, and an exactly what we wanted. read more

I'm from NY and I'm having a hard time finding a good gyro . But Gyro King did not disappoint. The lamb is on a turning cooker not frozen and they slice it off just like in NY. I finally found my to go place for gyros.... Thx read more

I ordered over the phone using their online menu and found when I went to pick up my order the prices were higher than the advertised price on their website: https://gyrokingde.net For example the Chicken Shawarma priced at $12.99 on the on line menu but it was ultimately $15.99. The food was good and the staff were polite enough but the bill was $6.50 more than the on-line menu had. The staff did not seem to think it was an issue that the business was involved in misleading advertising. And they refused to honor the on-line price. read more

No $2 extra grilled veggies and mushrooms. The "large" "Greek" salad has literally nothing in it. read more

I'm giving this establishment 3 stars because perhaps I just had a bad meal, which can happen. I ordered chicken and lamb kebab to go, and a side salad. Both the chicken and lamb were dry as anything and lacked flavoring. The salad and salad dressing were however excellent. I judge all local establishments that serve Mediterranean/North African/Middle Eastern food by comparing them with Ali Baba in Newark, which although much more pricey, never fails to disappoint in terms of tenderness and flavor of the food. If I'm in the area again, I will give it another chance. Owner and family/staff are friendly. read more

First time ordering from this place wanted something fresh cooked without having to cook it myself seen the good reviews thought I'd give it a try (wish I would have just cooked) placed an online order for ... Lamb gyro Chicken gyro Cheese burger Small salad The burger was hard and burnt my little sister couldn't even finish it. The chicken gyro was ok nothing special The onions on the salad smelled bad so threw that away Didn't eat the lamb gyro all and all waste of $20 read more

The lamb gyro used to be one of our favorites, but stopped by today and the ones we got were dried out and hard and the lettuce old. I don't know if they are under new management. read more

Took an hr for the order to arrive while the 22 dollar bill was 2 tiny falafels and grape leaves... Alibaba is way better than this read more

Gyro King grill - $11 for this?!? - Mediterranean Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Best Gyro and falafel that I have ever had! The falafel appetizer has a nice golden outside without drying it out. Moist with a little bit of flavorful spicy kick. This is the way that falafel should taste I had wonderfully seasoned beef right off the spit and made into a gyro. The baklava is a bit salty it could use a bit more sweetness. You really shouldn't pass up this place up though. Very tasty read more

Chicken shwarma platter @15.99 came over cooked, dry, and burned. The gyro and hummas & falafel were good. Brought the platter up to the counter and we had an initial problem getting a refund, finally credited the amount back on the card. So much for enjoying lunch with my daughter. They even asked for my partiay esten salad back ... We came here as we are looking for a place to have a birthday dinner this weekend. It was dirty, tables unwiped, bathroom gross. Counter girl was pleasant. Won't be coming back, ever. Asalamu alaykum read more

Food is so good. My favorite dish is the lamb kabobs with the rice Delivery was on time and smooth!! read more

I liked the fact if I order from my phone there is a 10% discount. It is a fast food place . Food reflects that. This would not be my go to place for Gyros, unfortunately. I am in the food business and I take pride in what I do, this establishment should do the same. I will give it another try. read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would. They need to train their staff better. Incredibly rude service. Their menu is inaccurate. They don't serve real meat, only nasty nitrate filled processed gyro. read more

Used to love this place. Not an area much and with COVID haven't been in in about 2 years. Got lamb gyro platter with fries. Lamb is hard, cold and not too good. Fries were cold even though I'm the only one in here with one take out order since. Not too clean either with sticky floors in dining room and sticky table. Shame to see. Will have to check out my other one time favorite up the street. Hopefully they're still as good. read more

Order this place through Grubhub , all the meat was tough and cold , ordered plain fries , they came covered in old bay , all the lettuce was brown and slimy , big disappointment read more

I have an update I'm not sure what happened. It was very dirty in there. Dishes piled up, tables dirty, and almost no napkins. (I had one, one napkin) I'm really disappointed in the cleanliness, the staff in the back were joking around and didn't come to greet/take out order till another one (who was just on their break it seemed) shouted for them. I'm probably not going to come back. read more

Gyros are great, the chicken shawarma platter is bomb and the hummus is awesome. I love to eat here when I want a good meal

I ordered a gyro via phon. Upon arrival, the young lady at the counter continuously starred at me with a confused look while she was waiting on the customer ahead of me. When it was my turn to be serve, she quickly placed my Oder on the counter and quickly turned her back towards me. There was no thank you for your order. As a Black person I felt very uncomfortable in the place. read more

20/10 this place is AMAZING! The chicken is so flavorful and juicy. Everything is fresh and great quality

I order from my computer on the website once a week. i get an email confirmation telling me what time i can pick it up. Lamb and beef gyro is amazing! chicken gyro is pretty good too! love this spot! read more

I ordered the lamb gyro. While the meat was tasty and flavorful, it was very skimpy on the veg. I was also surprised by the addition of pickles to the mix. It was mostly lamb and pickle and left me missing the tomato, onion and lettuce. Maybe I came on an off day? (Saturday) Because some of the other reviews were happy with their topping ratio. The stuffed grape leaves were delicious. But I was a bit weirded out that the tzatziki sauce was a slight pink hue, even though it tasted normal. The wait also seemed rather long, close to 20 minutes for 4 gyros and grape leaves. While I understand that's a decent amount of food, there was no one in the restaurant when we ordered. If I had stopped here on a lunch break during the week, I'd have burned most of my break time just waiting for my food. I'd definitely come here again for a gyro craving, but I've had better. read more

This is the best Gyro place in all of DE hands down. Please keep up the quality and good work. Love the mixed Gyro. Ingredients are great. Middle eastern style pickles are fabulous. read more

Gyro King grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Newark, Delaware

This is hands down the best gyro restaurant in the state of Delaware. If you ever have a gyro or Mediterranean craving, this is the place to go. The food is obviously good, but the price point may be the best part of this restaurant. read more

I ordered the gyro platter. First, it looked nothing like the picture. The meat was in chunks, not slices and over-cooked. Some were crunchy when bit into . Supposed to come with grilled peppers and onions - nada! I do not believe those working at the shop would have eaten this food. I will not be going back. read more

Very good food, had deliver and it was early with the food nice and warm. I ordered the lamb gyro and the stuffed grape leaves. All food was very nice and fresh, I will be ordering from here again and would recommend read more

It was a nice stop for a lamb gyro. The lamb was sliced thin and well cooked, not overly dry but not too succulent either. While good it was about average for lamb gyro. The rice was soft and cooked okay but did not stand out much. Salad was standard mixed greens with an average sauce. The staff member taking orders seemed a bit confused between the combo vs the platter vs other items on the menu. I am not sure what I actually got off the menu other then it being a lamb gyro with some rice and a salad. I would return for a gyro again, but would probably avoid some of the fancier combinations on the menu for fear of confusion. Also it is close to work. But overall the only words that come to mind are "average" and "okay". read more

This place is a real gem. Had the lamb Gyro Platter. The portion was a very good size, and included their homemade hot pepper spread, garlic sauce, tzatziki, pita, salad, and fries. I think my only mistake was in ordering the fries - they were the only thing on the menu that was not clearly made in house - well cooked, but disappointing only in comparison to everything else which was delicious. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the pita was clearly fresh, and the sauces were completely delicious. I believe their claim about the meat being coal fired and cooked to order - the timing was about right for that, and the food was piping hot when it was brought out. Prices were very reasonable as well. Don't be dissuaded by the strip mall - as so often happens in this area the gems are where you don't expect them. read more

Our visit to Gyro King had some hits, some misses, and apparently a lot of salt. We stopped by for dinner and were immediately greeted by the friendly owner. He's a really nice guy. We ordered a lot of different things to try. My wife started out with the Moroccan soup which she really liked. I had the baba ganoush. It was weird tasting, unlike any baba I have eaten in the past. Another poster said it tasted like it was made in an ashtray and come to think of it, it's not all that inaccurate as it had a bitter taste. Fortunately for us, the friendly owner suggested we try the eggplant salad since he got the impression we like eggplant. It was delicious. I would get this again. We also had a decent hummus that was served with kind of thin, kind of greasy pitas. I had the beef tangine with prunes. It was good but the meat was kind of fatty. I ordered it with Moroccan bread which was tasteless but my wife enjoyed it. For an entree, she had the lamb gyro platter with fries. The fries were decent, nothing special, but the gyro meat, which was a little dry, had to be the tastiest lamb gyro-style meat I have had in a while. For dessert we took home some pistachio baklava. My wife enjoyed it but I thought it was just ok. The following morning we kind have of felt bloated a bit because some of the stuff we ate was apparently a bit salty. But it happens. All in all, Gyro King, like similar places we've tried locally, is decent enough. Some of the food is good and some is not. But when you are admittedly spoiled by the silky hummus and the freshly baked pitas at Dizengoff and the moist, nutty baklava at Kanella Grill in Philly (check out my pictures) it's hard not to be disappointed. read more

I've tried most of the halal places in Newark but hadn't tried this one. Pretty much like the others. Chicken shawarama that I ordered was mediocre. The chicken was really tough and just not seasoned much. On the plus side, the price was cheap. Really wish Delaware had better Halal options. read more

What a great little shop. The owner and his family were friendly and pleasant. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. My daughter had her first taste of lamb, and a gyro is now one of her favorites. read more
