Pappoule's - Greek Salad chicken kabobs and avgolemano soup Super yummy - Greek Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I ordered a Caesar Salad, and the dressing was more of an Italian Vinaigrette. This was disappointing, but the pita bread was good.

Delicious and somewhat healthy. Staff is friendly. Nice modern seating area inside. Good outdoor seating area, but in view of a construction site which will hopefully change soon. Go to menu items: Chicken Kabob/ Gyros Platter/ Greek Fries read more

5 for my meal, the food is always excellent and this is the second time I've gone there and now I'm taking some friends there next Thursday. Services three because you order from the cash register the pay them and then they deliver your meal when it's completed, no waiters or waitresses present to watch over you. I gave the ambience to four because they just remodeled the restaurant and it's very nice for a dine and dash establishment plus they've added a bar and outdoor seating . read more

They are currently closed for remodeling.... Not open for business Gyro Plate is excellent, but not for now!....................... thanks again read more

Good here is as close to Greece as you'll get here in Tucson. The gyro a must have but so are the lamb chops and babaganoush. Self ordering, they'll deliver to your table, indoor and outdoor dining. Don't let a line deter you, the tables turn quickly! Huge portions as well!! read more

When visiting Tucson, Pappoule's is always a favorite stop for Greek food and the Mythos beer is refreshing and delicious. I ordered the gyro and my friend ordered the souvlaki. Delicious. We ate outside. The only negative I can state is two women sitting at a table nearby brought a small dog in a bag that whined and yipped the entire time. This isn't the fault of the restaurant but inconsiderate customers. read more

Great Greek food. Wonderful staff. Try the lamb chops. So good. Wow! What's not to like? Don't mind the construction around it. Loads of parking. read more

First time stopping in here for dinner. The hostess was funny and very friendly. If you're looking for a something quick, this is it.....if you're looking for a romantic place then this isn't it. The menus are located on the wall, you place your order with the cashier and then you grab yourself a table. They will bring the food to you. Took notice that this place does a ton of takeoutThe dolmas platter was a hit with me.....lots of dolmas and great greek salad. The chicken caesar wrap was packed full of chicken and huge. We will most certainly get to this place again sometime. read more

I haven't been to this one, just the ones in the mall. Usually the food was pretty good. I thought the meat was a little dry and my pita was just ok. On a good note, I think the food is very reasonably priced and they don't skimp on the amount. The Service was fantastic, hence the 3 stars. I'm willing to go back and try them again to see if they beat maybe just had and off day. I like the people and hope for better experience next time. read more

Awful service. Looking at the time stamp on our receipt, we were waiting 40 minutes before I finally got up and asked a server what was taking so long. She asked my number (they give you a number to place at your table) and I gave it along w explaining I understood if they were backed up as it was very busy but why had they not at least brought out our hummus appetizer or soup? I mean, I know you aren't making hummus to order...it's been made the day before or early in the morning...just scoop it up and send it out! She said ok let me deliver another order and I'll get it right out. 10 minutes later...I get up again and say I thought you were going to send out the hummus app? She said it'll be out shortly...so about 1 minute later the entire order arrives. No apologies for the wait, no offer to get us another drink (a beer and margarita). Just worst customer service ever. Being a business owner myself I'm extremely understanding...and when I know things are behind/late or falling apart I'm proactive with my customers and usually comp them something extra w their order for the wait or just do something extra nice for them. We couldn't even get an apology here. Guess we shouldn't tip ahead when PLACING the order. read more

I had high hopes for this place after the reviews but it is not what I was expecting at all. I had been seeking a nice cozy romantic Greek restaurant but this is not that. It's a step up from fast food and a big step down from a nice restaurant. The food itself was pretty good but that's about it. It was a bit on the expensive side and had zero in terms of ambiance. It was loud, busy, and very un-romantic. While I would never dine in here again, I would definitely do take out or delivery from here. However I'll be traying other places to see if I can find something a little better. read more

I am definitely a fan and will be back when I come back to Tucson. Pappoule's is located at the mall, but outside the mall itself, and has plenty of parking. The staff seemed to work well together, and they were super friendly, helpful, smiling, asking if you need anything else, and checking on you. The restaurant is bright and open, and has a large window that can be opened to let in cool fresh air like now in November. You walk in and the menu is on the wall so you can see what you want before you get to the register. Nice touch, very convenient, and makes the line go fast. The prices are very reasonable and they have daily specials too. I tried the Wednesday lunch special $10 gyro sandwich, fries, and drink and it was large, flavorful, fresh, scrumptious, and well worth the the $10. I almost could not finish it all. The Gyro meat was tender, tasty, and there was so much of it, what a great value. The fries were warm and crispy, perfection. It comes with a Tzatziki dip which is delicious and perfect for the sandwich and dipping the fries in as well. They have an automated Pepsi machine that lets you pick different flavors and mix in flavors. For example you can pick Diet Dr Pepper and the mix-ins are vanilla, cherry, raspberry, and 1 other flavor. You can only do a max 3 mix-ins at 1 time. I also got to try some of 1 of their salads with chicken kabobs and it was large and tasted great. Everything was wonderful. Definitely 4.5 stars. There are a few dessert options like Baklava, a custard phyllo dough concoction called the galatobouriko, and for only $2 flash fried crispy pita chips covered in cinnamon and honey. It was flavorful and hit the spot after the large lunch special. I think the wait was 10-15 minutes for our food, but it was pretty crowded and several people ordered in front of us, and there were several to go orders as well. After we ordered they got the 12 noon lunch rush and the place was packed. They used to have another location at the Tucson mall, but now this is the only location. read more

Went here the other day with a friend and left so unsatisfied. I have really been craving Middle Eastern & Greek cuisine lately. There's a lovely spice that each country in the Middle East puts out called "zaatar" and nobody in this place knew what I was asking for when I requested some of this spice mix on my pita bread. My girlfriend, who is mostly a vegetarian decided to order a bowl of lemon chicken soup, a fried cheese appetizer (can't recall the name as it's on the menu on their wall only) and pita bread (with no zaatar.) I ordered a Greek salad with falafel. My salad was decent enough, although it was just mundane & plain. My falafel tasted like a mix to me -- of course I'm unsure if it was -- the falafel were very salty, dry, heavy and dense. All of the dishes my friend ordered were totally inedible (except for the dry pitas). I tasted her cheese appetizer and it was almost on the edge of being rancid. She exclaimed, when she tasted her soup, that it tasted old, pasty and had no discernible pieces of chicken or lemon flavor at all. In fact, she said it had a bit of a refrigerator taste. The color and consistency was unappetizing to say the least (see pic). She told me she didn't want to complain, but after I saw her sitting there eating bread, I took a taste. That's when I decided to ask the girl at the counter. if she could exchange the soup for a salad. The girl Said I'd have to pay a fee... Until I told her that none of my friend's food was edible. The girl just gave me a funky look and came out with a small plate of salad. The whole atmosphere was just uninviting and I certainly won't recommend the food; but apparently other patrons don't agree as this place seems to do quite well without me. You can come and decide for yourself, but for me I think this is my final visit. read more

Amazing authentic Greek food and hospitable staff. Our fave go to spot and so happy to have found it!

The portion sizes here are huge, and the gyro plates are great. The food is always consistent, and the servers are friendly. They remodeled the restaurant recently, and it looks amazing! read more

Wonderful Greek food! Have ventured out a bit but keep coming back to the gyro platter! If it ain't broke.... Solid value for the flavor! Yamas! read more

Their Salad is the best! I will always make a trip to come here just for the Greek salad.

I am a regular at this restaurant. I usually get takeout, but sometimes I eat in. They are incredibly quick even though their food is made to order. I'm quite happy with their different combinations plates. They have a combination starter plate that I order regularly. It's got a lot of variety, salads and sauces. The tzatziki is truly excellent. The baba ghanoush is also very good. I'm not a hummus lover, so I won't comment on that. I've had their souvlaki and that's also very good. My only wish is that they had better pita bread. It's strange to me that a lot of the places that sell Mediterranean food don't pay more attention to their bread. Sometimes I buy my own and add it to their food. But this is a minor problem. Enjoy. read more

The food was bland with very little authenticity and I saw a couple bugs on the ground while attempting to use the restroom , the servers are great but the owner seemed like he had a quarrel with his entire staff and it was apparent. read more

Great food and friendly service. A variety of dishes on the menu. Would definitely recommend.

If I had to describe Pappoule's with anything or if I suggested it to anyone, this place is a really really solid spot for lunch if you're craving for some greek food. The amount of meat that came with the gyro deluxe sandwich was worth the total (including tax) $9. Obviously, I got the deluxe sandwich and it was good. The amount of meat was overflowing and overall it was a solid sandwich. I would definitely come here for lunch if I was in the area and also need to get in and out. You walk in the restaurant and walk to the counter, place your order, and they'll bring it out to you. It's as simple as that. It's a simple lunch place that will get you full with good and solid greek dishes. I would suggest to keep it classic and get a gyro, but if you don't want the sandwich get the plate. Overall, simply put: this place is great for lunch with a solid menu and food and you can get in and out. read more

Pappoule's - Deluxe Gyro Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Disappointed once again I gave up for a really long time after a hair in my gyro platter.. Try it again, dried slivers of meat.. I gave it one more try, specifically asked please can my gyro not be dry like jerky, seemed the person that took my order understood and stated "moist" yes like they used to serve.. another letdown It was all shredded crumbs of meat, not even slices, no flavor, plus hard pita bread. I give up and an of $3 read more

Best Gyros in the State!!! Wish they had a better beer selection but the food is great. All other Gyros is the surrounding area can not compete! Id eat there more often but the wife wont let me die happy!! read more

I met a friend and his family at Pappoule's for lunch. I ordered the pork kabobs and a side of their lentil soup. The pork was tender and it had good flavor. The lentil soup was tasty and I liked how it was not salty and was left to add salt to my taste. It came with a small Greek salad on the side and pita type bread with tzatziki sauce. The people working were nice and welcoming. I will return again to eat more off their menu because everything sounded so good. read more

We love to make an excuse to go to Tucson just to come here. Great Greek food. The gyros are so yummy. Everything here tastes great and is so fresh tasting. It is very clean and everyone is friendly and responsive. You walk up, place your order, find your seat, and anticipate how good this meal will be. It is not a fancy place, but it does not need to be. We try to order different things so we can taste different things. read more

The owners are always so polite. My wife and I stop by for dinner at least once a week. Great food and great service.

I love this place! Quick, fast service. My dad & I beat the crowd too. Got there at 6pm and after we sat down, the line grew. You order at the counter, menu on the wall or paper menu is avail. My dad and I shared the salad special and spanokopita, surprised it was not triangular...but hey it was good. The salad was tasty and lite. Delish Will be back for more read more

We ordered pickup tonight from this restaurant. I thought the chicken was really dry. The fries and spanakopita were good. The moussaka was ok. I didn't like the pastitsio, it tasted like cinnamon. And I didn't like the baklava, it was way too sweet. read more

I've been coming to Pappoule's since 2009, so obviously I am a fan. This is our go-to place for Greek in Tucson. It is fast-casual: stand in line, order at the counter, they bring out your food (quickly). Of course my favorite is the Gyros, but today I had the falafel (see photo below) which was very flavorful and perfectly fried. The pita that came with it was warm and soft. My spouse had the starter combo plate today(see photo below) - she is a big hummus fan, and enjoyed all three flavors, but especially the flavor-of-the-day which happened to be hot and spicy. When I feel like splurging I'll have the lamb chops ($17 I think). They are thin-cut so they cook quickly, but very flavorful and tender. A real treat. Their salads are always very fresh, but today the tomatoes were a bit woody. I know they are at the mercy of what they can buy, but I had to find something to find fault on! Great spot for lunch or a lighter dinner. Service is fast and friendly, and food is great. They have a nice outdoor seating area, perfect when the weather is accomodating, which it was today so it was packed. read more

Could either dress up or make it a casual experience. Food is tastes homemade. Service is good.

My favorite Greek restaurant! I have been going here for years. One of the only salads I crave! I would eat there at least two times a week when I was pregnant as I craved the lamb chops and their Greek salad. I wish they sold their greek dressing in bottles! I even had my husband pick it up for me while I was in the hospital in early stages of labor with my daughter. I usually order lamb chops for dinner and then an extra large Greek salad and side of gyro meet for lunch the next day! Love the new renovations with the larger sitting area and patio sitting. Staff always nice. I usually order ahead and pick up to take home. Do yourself a favor and get the Greek salad! Others do not compare! read more

Stopped for lunch. Great simple gyros and fast service. Would come again to try other menu items.

I took my family there for my eldest daughters birthday, the second time eating there. Family owned, tasty food, friendly service and reasonable prices. All that together is hard to find these days... it's one of my top 5 Tucson favs!! read more

My favorite Greek food in town! The steak is always cooked to perfection and the Tzatziki is delicious

Nice atmosphere, quick service, fresh food, tasty chicken kabob plater and greek food. Reasonable priced food.

Giant gyros packed with the good stuff. You're not going to be complaining about portion sizes here. What can I say - it's the gyro you want. It's the one you;'re craving when you think, "wow, I haven't had a gyro in awhile." When you think "Tucson," you probably aren't really thinking about good gyros, but...here they are. I grew up eating gyros mainly at and around the Jersey Shore, on the boardwalk and at diners. These are better than anything I had growing up, which feels strange to say. The meat is flavorful (and plentiful), the sauces are wonderful. The sides are great, too. What a northwest treasure. Check 'em out! read more
