Gyro Sandwich
Alesha W.

Really nice size portions for the price! They have a drive-thru and were super fast and friendly. I'm excited to try other items on the menu so I'll be back :)

Great place to grab a bite to eat around the Oak Forest area. I don't come often enough, but when I do, the food is great! The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is good... What more can you ask for? I recommend the double cheeseburger. The pizza puff is also delicious and the fries are always crispy!

Gyros sandwich

Gyros sandwich hit the spot! The picture doesn't justify the amount that they gave. It was so much and tender and yummy! The service was great. The guy and the lady at the window were very pleasant. We definitely will come back!

Spotted this place a few days ago when we drove past. Husband's a huge fan of gyros, so we had to give this place a try. We stopped in there today and got the gyro meal deal which had a gyro, fries and a medium drink. The gyro itself was HUGE. Seriously, there had to be at least 8 ounces of meat on it. Sandwich was a little greasy, but still very tasty. The fries were hot, crispy and delicious. The tzatziki sauce was AWESOME SAUCE. I loved it. My husband prefers the tzatziki sauce from Ariston in Hazel Crest, but I find Ariston's tzatziki a little too sweet. Markella's tzatziki is savory, not sweet and much closer to tzatziki I got growing up in Melbourne. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean and the staff were cheerful and friendly. The cost for two gyro meal deals came to just under $15 - for the quality and quantity of food, is a steal.

Gyro and fries for $5.39 (under $6)!

Food was fresh and authentic! Gyro meat was cooked to perfection, tender and the best in the area…read morehands down! Greek music playing - makes you want to dance! Spot on service and very polite, friendly and fast! The decor is tranquil like your sitting outside at a table enjoying a meal home cooked by YiaYia! The kids menu was perfect even though we didn't order from it. We were there for lunch and the appetizers are enough for two people. The olive oil is so fragrant, the bread is fresh baked and amazing. I wish I would've tried the stuffed pepper soup, but Avgolemono is my favorite. I just wish they had a generous bowl of Youvetzi that was flavored with lamb shank!!! It's my go to Greek comfort food - My YiaYia's was the best! I will have to return to sample their desserts! I hope my favorite is on the menu... Galaktoboureko!

This is going to be a mixed review because my husband loved it and I thought it was "OK"…read moreThe staff is very pleasant and courteous and the place is very clean. The floor was very slippery around our table and for someone unsure of their step, this made me very nervous. Started with saganaki and lemon soup. My husband thought they were both delicious, unfortunately I thought the cheese was lacking and the soup was not think enough. There were huge pieces of chicken in it though. I had the special - Youvarelakia - which are the herbed meatballs in lemon sauce. The meat was "very herb-y" to the point of almost overwhelming the meat taste. Once again, the sauce was too think for my liking. Husband had the Youvetsi and thought it was delicious. We both brought leftovers home

I called ahead to ask if they had steak, and they told me they were offering New York strip and…read moreribeye. That sounded promising, and since they're under new management, we figured we'd give them another try for dinner. Big mistake. They haven't improved at all--in fact, they've gone downhill. What they served as a "New York strip" was the same thin steak you'd expect with a steak‑and‑eggs breakfast. A cigarette is probably the same thickness as the piece of meat they brought me. I ordered it medium‑rare, and it arrived with a gray center. They did offer to re‑cook it, but I wasn't about to go through that. There's simply no way to cook a steak that thin like an actual steak, so I didn't even bother letting them try again. The place was practically empty on a Friday night--just one older man and a couple tucked away in a corner. Honestly, the empty parking lot should've been our warning. Total fail. Never again.

We had dinner this Tuesday night, 4/01/25. My wife tried the Salmon Basílico. She said the red…read moresauce was really tasty and would get it again but next time, order the pasta that comes with it instead of the baked potato she substituted. I tried the Greek style pork chops with baked potato. My only complaint, I didn't have enough of the Grecian juices with my chops...that was money! I also would try the mashed potatoes next time instead of the baked potato. Our coffee was fresh and their homemade bread tasted better than ever. Very happy!
