I love Mr Gyros for so many reasons. The owners Sammy & Johnny are so passionate about running a great place, and have so much genuine warmth for their customers, a value they've instilled in all their employees. The food is delicious and there's a wide variety of options including many vegetarian ones. There's also now a lovely covered deck with space heaters which can be enjoyed year round. When the business burned down awhile back due to an electrical fire I was so sad and couldn't be more delighted that they were able to rebuild in Greenwood. read more

This place continues to be such a great place for meals and catering. We've been customers for over 10 years and we have always felt so welcomed every time we go to Mr Gyros. The food is also always so delicious. Recently, I had a last minute catering need for 10 people and they were able to hook me up within hours! They go above and beyond for their customers and we will be customers for life! read more

*originally 2 stars but edited for 1 after the owner's response* NEW: it is alarming that the owner sees nothing wrong with the way their employees handled the pita. Gave it to me in the ORIGINAL grocery store packaging like I'm some kind of handout. GROSS! Original review: There's two dedicated spots for the restaurant right in front on busy Phinney Ave so that was nice but other than that, not impressed. Got take out on a Friday night around 5 pm and we were the only ones there. We ordered the lamb gyro and the chicken shawarma salad. I didn't have the lamb but was informed that it was not very flavorful or good. My chicken shawarma was well seasoned but had a bad chicken smell to it, like it was uncleaned. Also the workers were extremely sloppy and haphazardly gave me two pitas that were leftovers in the packaging (see in attached photos). That was the final nail on the coffin because who is that lazy and left me with so many questions about the quality of their food. It's not great from a food safety or presentation standpoint as the bag was already opened and I don't know how long they've had it/ who's handled it. Overall, I don't trust their safety or quality here and I will not return. read more

This is a super cute neighborhood restaurant with amazing food and even better service. My partner and I stopped here for lunch and we were greeted with smiles and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The food presentation was also great! Definitely will be making this one of our regular stops. read more

Food was delicious, service was friendly - perfect outdoor setting for a Sunday brunch!

So glad we finally got to try the food here!!! And hands down Mr Gyros gets a 5/5 for service, atmosphere, and of course the taste and presentation of the food! This cafe resto is super cozy and gives off Mediterranean vibes. I love that there was some Arabic music softly playing in the background. Everything is in the details. Being middle eastern, I'm always on the lookout for authentic flavors that remind me of home, and Mr. Gyros definitely hit the spot for me. Honestly what a great menu! From the halloumi zaatar sandwich, to the cauliflower, pistachio French toast with rose water, iced tea...Everything tasted so good. The gyro was sooo flavorful and tender. Loved it!! The plate portions are generous and filling. I love that you get a bit of everything on the plate too (hummus/mutabal , greek salad, meat/chicken, rice, tzatziki sauce, pita bread). There are only 2 parking spots right near the resto, so perhaps park in the street over and come on down. Bottom line: you NEED to try this place!! Check out the photos. Warning: you might start feeling hungry. read more

Quaint, clean space with beautiful music and vibe. Sweet service and extremely knowledgeable with menu. Unfortunately they don't serve their French toast or other decadent desert type items after brunch- post 2pm on Sunday. The food however, was tasty and clean! Good clean ingredients and beautiful presentation. We would definitely return if we were in the area. Cheers to yummy finds Yelpers! Xx read more

How I heard of this place: More than a decade ago, we moved to the neighborhood, where Mr. Gyros was a community staple. Months later, while sleeping, we heard - and felt - a huge explosion. Before we could make Mr. Gyros a neighborhood favorite, it was gone. Here we are, ten years later, and their newest cafe-restaurant is back. Type of cuisine: Mediterranean fare in a cozy, quaint, Mediterranean inspired setting. Ambiance: A sweet space tucked away for really only locals to walk up to (only one or two parking spots are available at the establishment, others needing to find street parking (or paid off-street parking around the block) blocks away, fighting for one of few spaces not already taken by residents). The walled-in patio greets patrons with its stone and patio umbrellas, cute and truly niche in this neighborhood eatery. Inside the rounded archway, one finds the kitchen, a seat or two at small tables, looking more decorative than functional, among the beautifully curated walls of plants and minimalist Mediterranean setting. Music blasts - making it loud (maybe too loud?) for residential neighbors, and adds to the sweetness of the cozy setting. What I ordered: We placed our orders at the tall walk-up counter, then found a covered table in the outdoor patio where we could enjoy the waning warmth of the setting sun at dinnertime. In our small party, we enjoyed the Greek Fries ($4.09), Cauliflower tahini salad ($7.99), Chicken Tawook "kabob" ($11.39) and Chicken Shawarma ($17.39), as well as an order of Baklava to round out our meals. What I loved: I loved the flavorful, well seasoned/marinated chicken. The salad was crisp and the hummus creamy. We especially enjoyed the crispy-soft fries with Greek seasoning atop. Why I loved it: It's fun to have a place in the neighborhood that can transport you to your favorite Mediterranean cities - reminiscent of spots in Eilat, Haifa, Athens... The food is good and it's great to see Mr. Gyro's back! Cost: High read more

Best spot for gyros in Seattle! The food is always fresh and the portions are generous. You can tell the owners really care. The baklava is delicious! read more

Mr Gyros - Homemade baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Years after the original greenwood location was lost to a fire, Mr. Gyros has triumphantly returned! In the intervening time, I've become very fond of their food truck, so I was excited to learn that they'd be returning a brick and mortar restaurant in greenwood (they also have one in Ballard). The owners are really nice and I'm so happy that they were able to fulfill their dreams of rebuilding. The new shop looks amazing. The inside looks fresh and modern; sometime put a lot of thought into the design and decoration. There is also a covered outdoor seating area. Because the restaurant faces away from Greenwood ave, it feels more quiet and peaceful than it would otherwise. The food is great, as expected - I like the gyros and anything with lamb from them. read more

Just discovered that Mr Gyros now has fresh Juices!! I have been looking for an alternative to a coffee shop when needing to get out of the house to work a bit because i dont want to order coffee drinks in the afternoon. This would be a great place to work and drink healthy juices and get some greens! read more

My partner and a friend of ours visited this place last year and I haven't stopped talking about the Baklava Pancakes since. brought some other friends over with us this time and it's still just as good! the service is awesome, the family is so kind and inviting, and the food is stellar. We got two orders of shakshuka, my pancakes, a French toast and a Mediterranean breakfast. And lots of Turkish coffee. We love this place. read more

Mr Gyros is located on Phinney Ave and it can be difficult to find parking as you're fighting for parking amongst numerous apartment complexes. The restaurant is in a relatively small place with a handful of tables in the outdoor patio and a few inside where it can get cramped. Everything looks new and service is great - staff are super friendly. I will note that their brunch items which are available everyday end at 11am (at least for weekdays) which isn't what's on the website or menu board. Overall the plates are good. The gyro were thick and some pieces crispy while the beef kabob had good flavor and pieces of onion inside. The pita bread is really thing which I haven't seen before. Overall, a good spot. read more

Very cozy and nice atmosphere. The interior and exterior of the restaurant looks very modern and clean. The pita Gyro was delicious and had a nice spicy kick to it. Full of flavor and I definitely plan to come back. read more

Mr Gyros - Pita Gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This Mr Gyros is a neighborhood treasure. It is the perfect place for a hungry weekend brunch on a lovely shaded patio. Sammy, the owner, manager and kitchen maestro, warmly welcomed me like an honored guest to his home. The lamb/beef gyro was perfect; lively with bright tzatziki sauce and lemony hummus; wrapped in a warm soft/ lightly charred pita; bursting with crisp cucumber and lettuce and luscious red-ripe tomatoes. This is real gyro; not the fast food, salty-desiccated jerky and wet, under-ripe vegetables that so often claims the name. Here, everything was zesty and clean; filling, satisfying, and light. The meal chased away my mental cobwebs and the warmth of the lovely staff had me ready to face the day with a smile. Sitting on the patio, chatting with neighbors and new acquaintances reminded me of my days in beautiful Beirut in better times. I had to go back for lunch to treat my family with gorgeous falafel sandwiches, chicken gyros, and savory lentil soup. It smelled so good that I stole bites and sips of the delicious stuff at every red light; and enjoyed my hero's (gyros?) welcome from my health obsessed (thankfully) mostly vegetarian daughter and the their friends. Don't miss the lentil soup. Don't let the word vegetable scare you. This soup shows what vegetables can be when well-treated. With both meals, I had the baklava and Arabic coffee. The coffee is the real-deal- elevating and rich. The baklava is made in -house, don't miss it. It has the real, nutty sweetness of pistachios and lightness of crackly layers of light dough, it is not cloyingly sweet, overly-dense, or sticky. The best thing if all is the staff. The staff embody Sammy's hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail. From the carefully crushed fresh mint in the tea to the layer of thick coffee at the bottom of the cup, the staff show they care. The restaurant is sparkling clean, warm, comfortable, and inviting. Don't be dissuaded if there is a little wait at the door or the register; or if you must park 1/2 a block or so away. Enjoy the walk, enjoy the day, and enjoy this place that is clearly a favorite of locals who know where to truly eat. read more

We are so lucky to have Gyros back in Greenwood...and they are even better! For example the salads have a lot more going on in them with a lot of flavors and fresh herbs. They also have more variety, with a great Sunday brunch menu which even has a zaatar halloumi toast plate! Cute outside courtyard on a side street too. And of course always friendly owners & staff! read more

What a hidden gem this was! A bit back from the main stretch, this Mediterranean goodness has a cozy but modern vibe with small indoor and outdoor seating. The food was fresh and flavorful, the staff was kind. Definitely will be back. read more

My partner and I have been loyal Mr. Gyros fans for years, but our experience last night was both disappointing and confusing. We planned to treat ourselves to a Friday night go-to: a shared shawarma plate to-go. At around 7:45pm, we tried calling several times to place the takeout order, but no one answered. Since we live nearby, we figured we'd just walk down and order in person. When we arrived, the kitchen was clearly open and active, but we were flatly told that they were 'closed' for the night. When we asked for clarification, the staff member explained that they were only fulfilling DoorDash orders. Their website and posted hours still list the Greenwood Mr. Gyros as open Monday through Saturday until 9pm. It's a bummer to see a local favorite pivot away from walk-in takeout for the neighborhood that supports them, especially an hour and fifteen minutes before their posted closing time. We'd love to see more clarity on their hours or service tiers, as we'd rather support the business directly than through a third-party app. read more

Good place to get a quick Mediterranean food. Food came out in a couple minutes. Friendly service. The water was horrible though, the water was salty. Anyways pita bread was thin but everything else was good. read more

We began eating at Mr gyro's so long ago I've lost track. They only had one little restaurant on Greenwood which has since blew up in a gas leak. The two brothers are so personable that part of the enjoyment of going there was chatting with them. Now they have at least 3 places and rarely do you see them. Usually they have Mexican help which is fine but something has been lost. My wife and I went to their newest place in Greenwood Saturday evening. It has a small but bright interior. Quite pleasant. Mainly though I am disappointed with the flavor of their food. Portions are generous but not as delicious as I remember. Nothing that makes me want to return. read more

Excellent food and Sammy has great customer service as a naturally friendly and charismatic guy. I would highly recommend their food to anyone. Overall a great experience! :) read more

Mr. Gyros never misses! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.

Highly recommend! read more

Early lunch at 11am and I had no idea they ahead vegan options and such an authentic middle eastern/mediterranian options!!! I also enjoyed mint tea on the house with real mint leaves! Service was attentive as I ate in. Casual but can be romantic? I don't know. I was not here at night. Lots of togos. Outdoor space is so nice & have warmers. For people with dogs, they are welcome! Amazing fava bean that is made in house with garlic sauce! I also had fellafel sandwich! I will have to bring my dog sometime and enjoy the patio seat. Maybe I'll bring my own wine too? I'm sure they have corkage. Loved it! It's on phinney so if you are coming from main drag look for the A board and patio covered space. There are few spaces to park. read more

Sadly, the smell in this place was gross and the food was tasteless. I was very excited for a good gyro and then let down after we took it home. Even the fries were lackluster. read more

The place has a great vibe, modern but still true to its Mediterranean roots. It feels warm, welcoming, and relaxed, the kind of spot where you can take your time and really enjoy your meal. The staff couldn't be nicer; friendly, attentive, and you can tell it's a family run business that truly cares about their guests. The food is fantastic. Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, and the portions are generous without feeling over the top. You can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving a delicious meal and want to enjoy a real Mediterranean atmosphere. read more

I was so excited to try this place after reading the reviews. I even bought extra hummus and tzatziki because typically after a yummy Greek meal I'm craving the sauces later. I was so disappointed to find that my gyro meat was bland and they didn't even warm up the pita bread. They gave it to me in the same package that they must have bought from they grocery store. Overall, very disappointing experience. read more

We absolutely LOVE Mr. Gyros! They regularly come service our office for lunches, and last weekend they served lunch at my dance workshop on-site.

Great little neighborhood spot. The food for me is a solid 3 stars, it's good and consistent but not mind blowing. For my money, in this area i prefer the flavors over at hummus cafe, but Mr Gyros friendly service - and I mean always friendly, really sweet group of folks here! - breakfast options and neighborhoody patio make it a solid destination for me, also the fact that I don't need to cross 85th or Greenwood to get there (I'm lazy ok?) bonus points for being open at 9am on Tues so I can get my Turkish coffee fix. Basically if I want a solid falafel sandwich and baklava to go with no frills, I'm gonna cross the streets, but for a leisurely brunch to catch up with a friend over shakshuka on a quiet patio, Mr Gyros is the one. read more

So glad to have this delicious food back in my neighborhood. I was out of town during the 2016 infamous gas explosion, saw the pictures on national news, and wondered how the businesses would ever recover. Luckily this place opened a new location (no longer 85th/Greenwood, it's one street east). Mr. Gyros takes the care needed to make consistently mouth watering chicken shawarma, perfect pita and the best baklava in town. This is family cooking at its best, fairly priced with generous portions. Claudia, our server, added to the experience with her friendly charm. Happy to support small local restaurants, it's what makes a community special. read more

I tried Mr. Gyros in Greenwood Seattle today for breakfast and was very pleased with this little gem. The Shakshouka platter was delectable with the spices and perfect egg's crispiness. The French toast was unique in its presentation accompanied by a perfect crème Chantilly that's house made. Loved the fava bean platter presented in a pottery bowl. Finished the whole thing with Turkish coffee in cute China espresso cups. Will definitely come back and recommend it. Yelp, I had posted a review earlier today but do not see it. Please do not delete this. read more

Both dishes are flavorful and delicious! Coffee has nice cardamom aroma and smooth taste. Really friendly people and vibe. read more

I'm so glad this place is back. The Greenwood location was special to me, and now it's back and better. If you're in this for gyros, my review is simple: I've been going to one Mr Gyros or another for 16 years and they're all great. 5/5, easy as that. (If you're indecisive, I suggest the chicken shawarma.) But this location has brunch. And french toast. And I love french toast. Of course I had to try it before reviewing. And great news, french toast fans: It was sublime. The zaatar halloumi toast was also superb if you're looking for something less sweet - and I have no doubt that the rest of the menu is equally excellent. This might sound familiar, but 5/5, easy as that. Every now and then you can find a place where the food is good, and the people are great, and when those combine you get a place that's something special. Mr. Gyros is it. (A couple mundane notes: Parking is difficult on Phinney, especially in rush hour. Park a street or two over if you want to be safe, but there are a couple of reserved spots in front, you might get lucky. Seating is limited, but the patio is lovely and they've equipped it for hot or cold weather - still, if it's peak hours I suggest at least being prepared for takeout.) read more

OMG. this place is AMAZING!! SO so so cute inside (and outside), and the service was absolutely unbeatable. the kindest people in the world! and the food. holy smokes the food. the baklava pancakes were out of this world, and i tried a piece of the lamb from one of my friend's orders and my life changed. i'm absolutely coming back asap to order off their regular menu!!!! read more

I have been a customer of Mr. Gyros for 5+ years and it is by far my favorite restaurant in Seattle.

I went to the soft opening last weekend and I did not think their food could get any better, but they have new menu items!
