    Had a wonderful experience at this mediterranean hidden gem in Tempe! Kalos is a build your own mediterranean grill offering build your own bowls, wraps, and plates. All of the food is super authentic and the spot is owned by an immigrant family. The service was wonderful, they were very passionate about their food and it showed! Everyone was so friendly. Perfect spot to grab a quick easy, reasonably priced, authentic mediterranean meal! Inside is very casual. I built my own bowl with beef shawarma and the shawarma was perfectly cooked and seasoned. This meat was recommended to me and I see why! I also tried the sampler platter with all of their goodness piled into a massive tray. My favorites from this platter were the falafel, their pita and tahini, and their baba ghanoush. Plus, their baklava was to die for!!

    Kalos's 1/3 LB Angus Beef Burger

    Ordered dinner from DoorDash. The 1/3 lb angus burger was moist & delicious. The falafel was crispy & tasty. The fried mushrooms were not good at all. Definitely will not order those again. Would definitely get the burger again.

    First time ordering here despite living about a mile away. Falafel was raw in the middle. The fries were limp and soggy.

    Gyro pita

    I'm a fan of this fast casual establishment. I didn't really know this complex existed but on my way to try Dirty Dough next door, I saw this place and decided to give it a try since I needed to find something for lunch (although some would argue that eating cookies is lunch itself). Kalos Grill had a promotion on the window with for lunch specials for $6. While they had several appealing options on their menu, I opted for a gyro pita. If the gyro is good, you know the place is good, am I right?! I appreciated the fact that we could see our order being made and the transparency of their ingredients and the assembling of my order. The owner came walked in the middle of my experience at this establishment and he was so nice. He greeted me, made sure I was taken care of and ensured that I was being charged the right amount for my order. I was accidentally overcharged but he made sure I got the difference back. He also said bye on my way out. That interaction alone made me like the place without even taking a bite of the pita. The gyro pita was fabulous and I'm not just saying that because Kalos had great customer service. The gyro was tasty and they gave me a hefty amount of meat. It was flavorful and I liked the additional veggies to really balance out the sandwich. The pita texture was great and it had a great bread to filling ratio. The gyro was filling and I didn't feel hungry until hours later. Since I work in Tempe, I'm happy to know that I have some great options while support small businesses that know how to do it right!

    Happy employees

    I've written before about small family run businesses. But some don't live up to their hype, Kalos Grill on the other hand is exceptional. My coworker Cam and I were headed next door for the Tuesday Chicken special, but stopped here instead. Both of us are glad we did. First, a word about the owner, Peter. He is an amazing ambassador for his business. As we walked in, he greeted us warmly and asked if this was our first visit. Since it was, he brought over samples of Steak, saffron flavored rice and chicken. He's incredible fun guy who came to The Valley to attend GCU. He kept coming over offering us other food items to enjoy. Wow! Suffice it to say our meal was incredible. I ordered a Gyro ($6.95) and Cam the Steak. He skipped his Keto fast to order the steak after trying it. Yes, it was that good! See photos. My order was less than $9, including a soda. Great new place. RIP FlameBroiler! Long live Peter and his Kalos Grill. Enjoy!

    I was staying at the nearby hotel and wanted a healthy meal that wouldn't break the bank. I found Kalos Grill to fit the ticket. I eat as close to whole food plant based as I can so this place really met my needs. I'm glad I used Yelp to find my way to their counter. My Rice bowl with veggies and hummus was delicious. I also had a small sample of their lentil soup ant that was good too. Give it a shot. I am giving it a high rating mostly because of the service. The guys who helped me were awesome and oh so courteous.

    Ubereats receipt
    Julie C.

    This review is based on an Ubereats delivery. I ordered the meat shawarma but I think I actually got the filet mignon as it was all beef and so tender. Hubby had the gyros plate and reluctantly shared with me! The gyro meat is very not dry and very flavorful. The saffron rice was well seasoned an perfect texture. However, the vegetables was just reheated frozen vegetables with a dab of butter and salt. The cilantro jalapeño hummus was very flavorful, much better than the roasted pepper hummus. We got a deal where we got a free order of hummus if we spend over $20. So we got the plain hummus and it was decent. A bit lighter on garlic and tahini, may have been slightly watered down. The pita was probably just store bought, nothing to rave about but came warm, wrapped in tin foil. Overall, great solid food. I will definitely order from Kalos again!

    I ask for my salad in separate box, you get more and dressing doesn't mix with rice.  Very fresh.

    After telling James, the owner, about the hard and dry Al Pastor I wrote about in my first 3 star review on 12/17/20, he said he removed Al Pastor right away from his menu, because he found his employees (like college age kids) did not take the care to grill the expensive cuts of pork that he chooses to purchase, so that it isn't overcooked. Indeed Al Pastor is no longer on the backlit menu board. Kalos Grill has the best gyros I ever had in my life! I found other restaurants' gyros, like Green Corner in Mesa, was always dried out, because the restaurant keeps it on the heat source turning and turning while all the juices drip out and moisture in the meat dissipates. Well smart James puts small amounts of freshly shaved gyros in a covered steamer, so the meat stays moist, soft, and hot. When supply gets low, he shaves more, so the steam doesn't blanch out the flavor. James told me he buys the best quality gyros he can get. Then the freshly made jalapeno and cilantro hummus is so addictive, I could eat a whole big bowl with a spoon in no time, like you would eat a bowl oatmeal. But it is expensive for a small container. Everything tastes so good. Salad is so fresh, the dressing is sooooo "homemade". You can taste the fresh herbs in the salad. I had chicken wings here, too, pretty good. They let me pick only the flats and fry to order for me. I eat here with a Local Flavor 50% off voucher that I buy when LF has 25% off sales and I usually order the same thing: One pound of gyros for $15, and $5 worth of the jalapeno and cilantro hummus. I have a class in the industrial area near Kalos Grill every Monday at 7 pm, so I come here to eat, before I go to class. James had to cut back on his hours because all the thousands of workers in this industrial area, now work from home. I saw James turn away people who arrived at 6:30 on Monday (I only come Mondays due to my class nearby). Before Covid, James said seven employees at the counter could not keep up with the business, and they worked sooo hard! Now it's like I am the only one there at 6 pm Monday nights. James is good to me, treats me like family! I don't have any family. So I hope you go eat here often, and support this business. Yum ! The gyros smells SOOOOO GOOD in the takeout box in my car!

    I want to preface this 3 star review by saying that the food here is good! I really enjoyed my Philly Cheesesteak Pita and my girlfriend went for the Gyro Fries which were BOMB.COM (sauces also) Service was something to be questioned on the day I was in though. Masks were present, but workers did not wear gloves behind the counter and beyond into the kitchen (yikes). In addition to this we had to repeat our order 4 separate times (twice after paying), field inhospitable service staff, and ultimately missing a few extra sauces we asked for in the order. My advice, get an order delivered and make sure it's all there! Ultimately the food is worth a 4 star; so no need to deal with the 2 star service.

    $5 rice/meat bowl such a good value!!

Parking is valet only, but since I'm not about that life, I found some parking on the street in a residential neighborhood five minutes away on foot. Ambiance (5/5): Definitely one of the areas in which thea shines. While they have both an indoor and outdoor area, I highly recommend sitting outside on the rooftop. If you do, you'll experience scenic views of the mountains in the background. If you can catch a sunset here, even better. Outside of the views, the restaurant has the fresh decor you would expect from a Mediterranean/Greek restaurant. There's also an outdoor area, and an indoor bar area, if you're just looking for drinks. Service (5/5): Attentive, friendly, and efficient service. Exactly what I was hoping for, especially on my birthday. They were kind enough to hook me up with a dessert for my special day. Much appreciated! Drinks (4.5/5): A full bar with a nice wine list and an interesting cocktail menu. I split a bottle of wine with my parents, but also started off with a refreshing cocktail. Food (5/5): I started off with the flaming saganaki because how can you say no to cheese flambeed table side. Dinner with a little entertainment. If you've never had saganaki cheese, it's a delicious Greek cheese. Pair it with some pita bread and you have yourself a delicious app. From there, I had the grilled skirt steak with crushed potatoes. Naturally, I ordered my steak medium rare. The skirt steak was sliced and cooked perfectly. The potatoes were well seasoned and paired nicely with the steak. All in all, a perfect meal. My parents similarly had great things to say about their selections. Thea isn't cheap. And it does have the see and be seen type of vibe which I'm not a big fan of. Yet, despite all of that, it's an excellent dining experience all-around. While it's more of a special occasion type of spot in my book, I'm definitely looking forward to stopping by again sometime!
