Great customer service, delicious food and a nice atmosphere. I love lamb and baklava so I'll definitely be back. I don't tend to go out for morning coffee but I'm intrigued by the coffee so I need to create a plan.
I just love this place it has incredible delicious food and always consistent with friendly staff and the most delicious pastries they all look so good it is really hard to just pick one.
So good. We had come when they first opened and had a good meal but it just kind of fell off our radar. I was craving kebabs for some reason (not that you ever need a reason for that) and this popped up on Yelp and realized we needed to come back. So worth it. The two of us decided to share the combo kebab which includes a sampling of: adana kebab, kofte kebab, chicken adana kebab, lamb shish kebab and chicken shish kebab. Lamb was tender, everything was seasoned well, but I think we both agreed the kofte was the surprising star that night. So juicy and flavorful. A+ We had more than enough meats that we were able to take home some for lunch the next day. In addition it included a large side salad we easily could share, Turkish bread, and your choice of appetizer so we went with the hummus which was creamy and delicious. They also brought us a baba ganoush which we didn't order. Wow glad they did. I've actually never had it but it was definitely something we would order again. Kind of sweet and maybe a little smokey. Really delicious. Server was wonderful. Very friendly and attentive. And there is a good amount of seating of various sizes. Definitely will be back and highly recommend. Oh and we took home some pastries from the stocked bakery case and yes that will also be happening again. Good times.
1st stop here and enjoyed the vibe. Staff very friendly and the fire oven in the center of the counter was cool. Ordered the gyro wrap and the laymacun. Everything tasted extremely fresh and liked the presentation on the plank with fresh parsley and fresh lemon wedges. Everything was a bit low on salt which is rare for me to say as I never add salt to my food. The tzatziki was good but took a few bites to get used to as it had more of a ranch texture than a thick yogurt.
Incredible food. Get anything of their chicken. It cut like butter and melted in your mouth. Our server was so so kind and accommodating. Such a fun, local spot. Definitely worth stopping.
I was very happy that I tried this place. There are several tables you can sit at. The staff were very friendly. Not knowing what all the dishes were, are waiter more than willing to help and explain everything. Our meals came out quickly. The food was very good. Asking for a dish without something on it was no problem. I am looking forward to going back. There are several dishes I would like to try. If you are looking for gyros and authentic Turkish dishes, Gyroland and Bakery is the place to go.
We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday evening around 5. This is a family run business and you can tell they put their love into everything. The hospitality was wonderful. Our waiter was happy to answer any questions and he even brought a couple things by our table to show us what the dishes looked like. The space was open with room for about 10-15 tables roughly. There are also two seater tables right outside the restaurant. The chairs inside are really comfortable! We ordered hummus that came with pita, which we devoured (they brought more pita for us). I got the lamb shish wrap, and hubby got the lamb kebab plate. They also brought us a complimentary salad which was very fresh and yummy. Our main entrees were very filling and full of flavors! The cucumber mint sauce was refreshing. We also got desserts to go. They threw in a couple complimentary house made breads with our desserts as well - very sweet and a great way to get your customers to come back and try out the other goodies! The dessert and pastry selection is not lacking! You can see all the goodies through the window before even stepping foot in the store! There is a lot to choose from, so feel free to ask questions, and they are happy to answer. Great experience at Gyroland! The only somewhat weird thing is that it doesn't appear they have fountain drinks, but not a deal breaker for me. I got a water and it came in a bottle (they brought a glass). Not a big deal, I'll just bring my big water cup next time. Definitely check out and support this new business!
I dined here with my parents and daughter with 7pm reservations on a Saturday. They have raved about this place for weeks after dining twice there, so I was eager to try it for myself. My dad highly recommended the lamb chop kebabs, which were perfectly tender and seasoned amazingly well. The pide with pepperoni was incredibly cheesy and rich. House salad and pita with marinara were also tasty. Service was slow. She seemed new. Very friendly but forgetful. I'd love to try more samplings from here.
As soon as we walked into the building, we were surrounded by incredible smells coming from the oven right in front of the cute dining area. The chef was preparing a fresh pide, which really swayed my order. The food was incredibly fresh and tasty, came out piping hot and was devoured within minutes. I got the pide with cheese, my boyfriend got the combo kebab. Service was incredible, checking in every now and then to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend, we will be back soon!
I stopped by here a couple of Fridays ago with my wife for dinner. We had unexpectedly found ourselves childless for the evening and so scrambled to Yelp for a somewhat close place to us. After some looking around, we ultimately chose to visit Gyroland and Bakery. This restaurant is located on Babcock Blvd not too far from where Thompson Run Rd ends into it. Whenever we arrived on this early Friday evening there were only a couple of other people in the restaurant and the numbers stayed low even though there was a steady stream. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but due to the heat we chose indoor. Besides the tables they also had a giant display case with some of the bakery items in it for all to see. For dinner on this evening my wife and I started out by sharing the babaganush and then I went with the iskender kebab while my wife went with the combo kabab. My entree was described as Lamb gyro topped with medium - hot tomato sauce and yogurt over pieces of traditional turkish bread while my wife's was described as Grilled combination of adana kebab kofte kebab, chicken adana kebab, lamb shish kebab and chicken shish kebab. The babaganush here was good with a nice smokey flavor to it but what my wife and I really appreciated was the bread which was like your normal pita, only thicker. They worked together nicely and our server did bring us more whenever our entrees came out. Then for our entrees, well both mine and my wife's were delicious. She let me try all of the four meats she received and each was juicy and flavorful. My iskender kebab ended up having a great flavor from the sauce. While I wouldn't call it spicy, I did really enjoy it. Then my meat was also tender and the biggest surprise of all for me was that as described, it was all over the Turkish bread. That bread was cut up tiny and almost played the role of what noodles would in an Italian dish. I throughly enjoyed it but it was also a super heavy dish and I left taking half of it home. With all of our food being fantastic, it was really the service that dropped this from a 5 star to a 4 star review. With a mostly empty restaurant you would think that service would be great but I did sit for most of my dinner with an empty glass of water and only got a new one when I asked when getting the bill. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While the food may seem a bit pricey at first glance, you definitely get a lot and it's flavorful too!
Gyroland and Bakery opened months ago. Its menu lists baked goods (e.g., Turkish bagel and borek), kebabs (e.g., chicken adana, chicken shish, beef kofte, adana, lamb chop, and lamb shish), sandwiches (e.g., adana kebab, lamb shish, beef kofte, and lamb gyro), oven entrees (e.g., lahmacun and pide), and desserts (e.g., baklava and rice pudding). My husband and I ate lunch here on a Saturday. An employee promptly greeted us, gave us a menu, and seated us at a table. (We were deciding if we would get takeout or eat inside the restaurant, and the employee's native language was not English.) We sat at a spacious and clean table near the door. The time was after 11 AM, and four of the menu items that I tried to order were not yet available, so I ordered other foods instead. Here are my reviews for our foods: Hummus and bread - 4 stars - The hummus and bread were very fresh. They tasted good, but in comparison, I think that a couple of other local Mediterranean restaurants' hummus and bread are more flavorful. Cheese borek - 4.5 stars - I had not previously eaten borek. It is a flaky puff pastry that has a filling. This one was filled with feta cheese, and it tasted good. Meat borek - 5 stars - This borek contained ground beef, and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. Side salad - 4 stars - The lettuce, carrots, and other ingredients were very fresh. Chicken shish kebab - 4.5 stars - Several chunks of chicken were large and juicy. On the side was some type of tomato rice that I liked. Lamb gyro - Not rated - My husband ate this gyro sandwich. He had expected it to be similar to a low-quality Greek-style gyro, but instead it contained high-quality lamb meat. He liked that it was inside a foil wrapper and did not leak juices. Yogurt drink - 4 stars - This yogurt drink tasted sour, which is probably how it is supposed to taste. Fruity cake - 5 stars - I bought some type of fruity cake to-go. This cake had a wonderfully sweet flavor from the sugar and the fresh fruit on top.

Absolutely terrible across the board EXCEPT for the chicken shish kebab. That was actually insanely delicious. But also is $23 for MAYBE 2oz of chicken and bagged veggies. Not worth it whatsoever. Also the "grilled" veggies that came with it. Maybe put on it for 10 seconds. Just look at the tomato... Gyro was bland and dry. Tzatziki was under flavored and SUPER RUNNY. Happens when you don't use enough/proper yogurt, drain cucumbers improperly, or let sit out too long. Lamb shish kebab dry and overcooked I don't even know what soup we got but that was horrendous I would like to mention the baked good did look great but I had zero desire to spend anymore of my money here Inside was very spacious so seating shouldn't be a concern if you actually waste your time going. read more
I could not shovel the food in fast enough! I wanted to try some Turkish food, and Gyroland came up in my search. It was a hit! I started with the hummus. The house-made pita was fresh, airy, and delicious, while the hummus was a homerun. I hope no one was watching - I was devouring! The chicken Adana was scrumptious! The chicken was fork tender and packed with flavor! The pita underneath soaked up all the goodness for a mouth-wateringly perfect bite! The baklava... oh my!!! Pistachio baklava -- I'll dream of that! If you haven't been here, go as soon as possible. It's authentic, it's delicious, and it's a great place to bring your kids -- they gave my 1 year old a free dessert! Excellent service and food means I'll be back! Now I need to figure out how to make Turkish coffee - it was amazing. read more
We really enjoy going to Gyroland because the food and service are always excellent. We've tried lots of delicious things. Everyone is always so warm and friendly too. We have never had a bad meal there. The hummus is so creamy and delicious. The beef pide is huge and one of my favorite things to get there. The beef is so flavorful and I loved the cheese on it. My husband loves to get the chicken shish kabob because the flavor is off the charts. We also love all the pastries that we've tried. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. read more

After receiving a recommendation from a coworker, I wanted to try it out. I was doing takeout. I loved Chef's Table. I associate gyros with stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and spanakopita. Only the hummus was available, which was very good and served with 1 large oblong pita. The chicken soup was still piping hot when I got home. The broth was very good. The chicken was plentiful. The chocolate parfait was packaged in a cute one serving box. I haven't eaten it yet ... but I have no doubt it will be delicious. I am not a fan of gyros or chicken. So, I couldn't find an entree. At the bakery area, I ordered a sesame roll stuffed with mozzarella. The bread reminds me of potato bread. Knowing the limited (based on my food preferences) menu, I won't be coming in for dinner. But I could see myself ordering sides and from the bakery. read more
Tried Gyroland on Thursday after some work appointments in the area. I don't often venture to this part of Babcock, but drove past this place early in the day and decided to look up the menu. I got the combo kebab platter and the eggplant salad to take home and eat for dinner with my brother (excuse my plates haha). Eggplant salad was not my favorite, it was pretty sour. The meats in the platter were excellent and I loved the wheat rice. For me, my favorite meats were the adana kebab and the beef kofte. My brother liked the adana and chicken kebabs. The shishkebab meats (lamb and chicken) were both our least favorites but were still ok and good with the meal. Bread was good, and we loved the sauce. The grilled tomato and red pepper were also nice touches with the dish. read more
We rolled into this new Turkish restaurant and bakery on a Saturday for lunch. It seems like a family run place and the service was great. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. We tried the babaganush with fresh pita and it was very delicious. That's sort of our "go to" dish for checking out new Mediterranean places and this one hit the mark. We had the Lamb Shish Wrap for our lunch and it was super tender and perfectly cooked. We loved it. They have a huge deli case filled with baked goods so we got some to go. The pink mousse filled pastry was just okay and seemed a little stale but the Turkish baklava was very good. We would like to go back and check out some of their other dishes at dinner time. read more

A very nice Turkish restaurant and bakery up a bit North from Pittsburgh. I tried a lot of different items on their menu, and was quite impressed by them. I had the lahmacun, wheat bulgur, and Turkish pastries as well as a few complimentary items. The lahmacun was very light but extremely flavorful. It is a nicely charred piece of bread topped with freshly minced lamb. Almost like a Turkish pizza without cheese, or a very very flatbread. The meat was flavorful and the bread was crispy. The wheat bulgur was delicious. This would be a great side to any meat dish, so definitely try some if you get a kebab or something like that. It's soft, flavorful, and tastes homemade. Really good. The Turkish pastry they served me was delicious as well. It was a nice looking 8 figure with fresh bread, a crispy top, and a chocolate inside. I need to go back just to try more pastries, because that was very good. They also served me a complimentary item: the watermelon salad. It was served with herbs and lemon. I wasn't the biggest fan, but it is nice they served it for free and I must say it is fresh and could go well with meat dishes. All in all, a very nice spot. I'd love to come back for more food (meat mostly) and for the desserts. Would 100% recommend. read more

First time there went for lunch. So we started with an appetizer that was scrumptious, pastry with meat filling. The most of us had gyros, the lamb meat was delicious. Another had pida with ground meet, final member had the chicken kabobs both very good. The only short coming was the desserts. You know they looked great, but we ordered the baklava it was ok, but the chocolate mousse cake was not worth the $, actually tossed it out at home. All in all will be taking family there next time, but tip to avoid the desserts. read more
Doesn't look like much from the outside but very cute little restaurant on the inside. And by 7pm the place was packed with guests. Had the Adana kebabs, wife had the kofta wrap. Both had some hot tea as well shared some baba ganoush. Really enjoyed the meal. Kebab was super flavorful. Service was a bit slow (only one server) but not painfully so. Overall great spot. Oh and seemed to have a great bakery, so will need to come back and have dessert. read more
Came in for a late lunch and a dessert to go. This place seems pretty authentic and has a warm, cozy. and friendly vibe with hanging plant decor and softer lighting. The staff were friendly and the food came out within 10-15 minutes. I could immediately tell that everything was fresh. The actual bread of the wrap was hot, soft, and had a slight chew. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. My only complaint is that, even with the side sauce, there was no flavor. There needed to be at least some salt, but seasoning would've been appreciated. It tasted like I was eating very fresh chicken wrap with no flavor. The dessert case had so many delicious looking options in it. I took the giant eclair to go and was not disappointed. The outside was very reminiscent of a ferrero roche and the inside was similar to a cream filled eclair. I think the top player was cream and the bottom smaller layer was custard. I'd stop back to try the hummus with that fresh bread and definitely get another pastry. read more
This is a lovely spot to have a meal or relax with some dessert. The staff here are absolutely amazing and are always patient, welcome, and kind. I come back here because something about it brings me joy. There is a large selection of treats to choose from, though at certain times the cake is a bit on the drier side. However, it's a great place to try some Turkish Coffee! read more

My Husband wanted to try this place that was across the street from the Italian Restaurant we had dinner at. It's a cute small cafe, that sells Gyro, Kebobs,Soup, Salads, Desserts and several other items. We came for Dessert, my Husband got the Strawberry Rulet Cake, we got it to go and they put it in a cute box. We were disappointed the cake looked good, but didn't taste good. It tasted stale and dry we don't know how long it was sitting in their display case, we couldn't eat it all. But the staff was very nice. read more

We visited this place on a Saturday evening. The dinner began with their freshly baked bread that was very similar to what I had in Iran when I was young. Our dinner continued with a delicious Turkish Eskandar Kabob and dessert from the various options they had in their fridge. The service was fast and friendly. They don't serve alcohol but we brought our bottles. As a conclusion, this place is great for tasting some Turkish food and pastries. Not a good ambiance for a romantic dinner. However good for meeting a group of friends, especially if they like Middle Eastern cuisine. read more

We drove by and wanted to try it. The gyro meat was different from most but it seemed like it was real meat not compressed. The only problem was it was really greasy it didn't have a lot of flavor. The taziki made it a little better and a salad had good flavor with the dressing but we had to ask for the bread as it didn't come with it. The only thing we would even consider going back for would probably be the desserts they looked pretty good but we weren't hungry enough to eat them. read more
