    Halal Beef Gyro Meat Dinner
    Sepideh Z.

    Honestly, I would rate the food lower than 3 stars but it's a family run business and I don't want to be too harsh. The food was okay and the prices were high for the portion size. There was barely any gyro in the plate and the "salad" was maybe 3 fork fulls. The hummus was tasty though. They do need to season the gyro more, however. Overall, it was ok but need improvement for the price and quality.

    Updated review .....as always, the gyros are always fresh, i love my gyro platter. We with the Hummus and salad. And rice. The décor in there, obviously it has that Middle Eastern vibe with Middle Eastern TV playing in the background or music depending on the time of day. And the 2 brothers that run the shop are always friendly and remember their. Regulars

    Baklava
    Kathy K.

    This casual Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Greek restaurant located in Gainesville offers gyros, platters, salads, vegan choices and a large baklava selection. I had a Greek Salad $7.25, spinach pie $5.50 and a selection of baklava. Everything was delicious. The staff is very efficient and friendly.

    Gyro plus! Phenomenal! In a semi run down/unassuming strip mall, but don't judge a book by its cover. Gyros made exactly how you want and to order. Generous portions leaving you full of scrumptious Greek fare. Clean dining room with plenty of seats even for a busy day. We didn't try to desserts but the case of assorted baklavas looked beautiful.

    The food here is always tasty and definitely seems authentic. The pita bread is very fluffy and soft, though the pita sandwiches can be a bit messy. The grape leaves were very tasty as well. The service is very quick and the ambiance is decorated nicely. It definitely satisfies the Mediterranean food craving!

    Side Falafel

    Delicious gyros and falafel at a convenient location near the university. Nice ambience with plenty of indoor seating. Quick, friendly service. Clean bathrooms too.

    Large menu with halal meats. And Vegan options

    This is a very simple looking restaurant, but don't let it fool you, there's two brothers that operate it, and they are the real deal. The food is delicious and authentic, freshly prepared and well worth the trip. Make sure you save room for baklava... There's 12 different varieties.

    Vegan Falafel Hummus Wrap
    Willow O.

    BEST MEDITERRANEAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD! Any time I have visitors I make them try Gyro Plus. They make their hummus and pita fresh every day and it is incomparable to anything else (besides for in the Middle East). I have genuinely tried every kind of baklava and they are all INSANE I think I have narrowed down my favorite to the pecan or chocolate pistachio. 10/10 recommend the falafel hummus wrap and zataar pie as well. Additionally, I have visited ~20 times and it is the same man working every time! Kudos to him! It looks sketchy on the outside but trust me you don't want to miss this

    Following a visit to the sprawling UF campus, my wife and I decided to try out The Spot for lunch…read more Located in a building housing other eateries and with limited "free" parking, we parked in the parking structure in the same building. As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

    I hate to leave bad reviews, but I think want to be honest. I came to The Spot recently for lunch…read moreand was not happy with my experience. Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

I went to CAVA today to get my regular order (don't really need to talk about the food, it's always fresh, tasty, and poppin!) and saw an employee named Andrea just working her little tail off getting all the call in orders done while trying to keep the in-person line moving along. I told her I appreciated how hard she was working, it was obvious! Even though she was incredibly busy, she still took my order with a nice smile and pleasant attitude (which is not the case any time I ever went to Chipotle, which is why I don't go there anymore).

While this is a great spot for people without cars, parking could be a challenge for those who drive to this location. The service here is usually pretty good as well. I have never had a problems with my orders or anything. I often order online and pickup, but ordering in person is efficient too (most of the time). The interior is kept fairly clean, especially considering the amount of people who come through here on the daily. I really like the outdoor patio space too. The portion sizes are hit or miss...depending on who makes your bowl, you will either receive generous portions of things or you won't receive much. Some of the items aren't always the most consistent either. For instance, I've had numerous occasions where the rice is undercooked. This location definitely receives more traffic than the one in Butler Plaza, so take that into consideration when ordering here. Expect more "limited options", longer lines, more frugal portions, and sometimes even less fresh options. Your experience here is truly predicated on who is working and what they have available.

I was reminiscing about a sandwich I got and decided to order some lunch from here . I ordered a California turkey croissant but subbed for gluten free Kaiser roll. I also ordered the Greek salad. The prices and portions can't be beat. I got it for delivery from DoorDash and the ingredients and bread were so fresh. I was a little hesitant because when I order sandwiches or wraps from other places for delivery they arrive soggy but I was pleasantly surprised because everything was intact. I'm picky with deli meat since I just can't stand some after taste of certain deli meats but I don't know how to explain it the turkey and cheese tasted "clean" . You were able to taste every topping on the sandwich separately and together it just came together perfectly. It was a hefty portion too looking like a real life healthy krabby patty. I haven't tried the salad since I got so full from the sandwich but even my coworker when she saw it in the fridge said it looked amazing. I can't wait to have it for dinner and hoping I get the chance to come in and try other items on their menu. I might hit the beach one of these days and I sure wish I could take a couple of sammies from here so I might consider it.

We ordered several pizzas (1 garlic 16", 1 two-topping 12" with prosciutto + roasted garlic, 1 Hawaiian 12", 1 pita pizza with ham) plus ravioli fritti appetizer and steak pesto. Pizzas were excellent , steak was soft / medium well as I requested, and ravioli was deliciously crunchy - a crowd pleaser. The others had never tried Scuola before and now they'll all be back for the great food , friendly service, as well as chill ambiance of the place. Highly recommend visiting during lunch time since it's not too crowded and still quiet enough to hear one another at a table. The owner stopped by our table before we left and graciously offered to take a photo for us so thank you for that. Always a pleasure to meet the management. Pricing was fair considering the large portions and quality of the food. We had separate checks so our share of the food (including a to go order of Chicken Souvlaki and Kokkinisto!) was about $125 with generous tip. Free parking lot outside the restaurant is shared but there were still many spots to choose from. We'll certainly be back again ^_^ !!

Come and enjoy a falafel!" It was 1984, I worked at the Florida Bookstore and was sitting out back in the courtyard behind Chaucer's during my lunch break. That's when I heard those words. It was a smiling man sticking his head out of a kitchen window behind Cafe Gardens, which shared the courtyard with Chaucer's. "...enjoy a falafel!" "A flawhatel?" I asked. The man was Ghassan Chehab, and after serving me my first ever falafel, I ate there nearly every day. He soon moved out of the small shared-kitchen window to the famous 13th and University location, next to Burrito Brothers and Goerings Book Center - which I eventually moved to myself - and a block from my house. Falafel sandwich, spinach pie, strawberry-banana smoothie, and complimentary baklava - that was my go-to meal, always accompanied by great conversation with Ghassan. I left Gainesville in 1992 and The King moved out to Butler Plaza. I returned there a number of years later and was not only delighted to see the place still existed, but it was as good as ever! Ghassan was no longer there in person, but he certainly was in spirit. I continue to eat there whenever I pass anywhere near Gainesville, and always take home a bundle full of the falafel and pies. In fact, I'm actually writing this review with the taste of that falafel and spinach pie in mouth right now because I recently made one such trip. My friends, go eat a falafel at Falafel King!
