My friends and I were in the mood for some Mediterranean food and came across Souvlaki's Greek…read moreSkewers on Yelp. We decided to give this place a try and man we were not disappointed at all. It is located in a rather small business complex with other restaurants around. Parking can be a little tight during peak hours, but it is so worth it. It is a walk-up to order type of place where they bring your food out to you. The menu is clear to see, however they have a ton of options. One of the questions we had was what was the difference between a gyro and a souvlaki. The best way to think about it is, a gyro has shaved meat, while a souvlaki has skewered chunked meat. We ordered the dolmades, chicken gyro combo (comes with fries), and a beef souvlaki. The beef souvlaki was seasoned well and the red onions, French fries and other ingredients provides the perfect well-balanced flavor. The chicken gyro was also a well seasoned and balanced gyro in soft pita bread. The highlight for us,however, was the dolmades. If you think you have good ones throughout San Jose, I can guarantee, you will not see this one coming. It came out warm, slightly acidic, but also well balanced. It has meat in it,which I think might be veal or beef, I scarfed it down so fast I completely forgot to ask what type of meat they use. I cannot wait to go back and visit again. Those dolmades are calling me!

We ordered 2 Gyro Bowls - one with the rotisserie chicken and one with the chicken skewers. We both really liked it. The pita was good and the tzatziki was yummy.

They gave us recommendations and the falafels came out fresh. The place is definitely better than the chain places I've been too. It's in a cozy plaza. Definitely my go to spot in the future.

1st time here. A friend invited me to join her, and said it was where many of her co-workers ate…read more The short version is: my meal was very sub-par, and way over-priced. The details: I normally don't eat a lot of meat, so I chose the Falafel Salad. It came with extremely little lettuce, plus a few olives (which I don't eat), onions (which I also eat sparingly), tomatoes, cucumbers, and the falafel balls. Oh! And there was feta cheese, but those were such miniscule pieces, and so few, that I wouldn't have remembered it was supposed to be part of the salad, if I didn't just pull up a photo online with their ordering system. What you see in the photo online is not what you get. The photo actually looks like a salad. Since it was called a salad, I expected there to be more lettuce, than the few pieces on the plate. I mainly was cutting up the cucumber & tomato pieces to go with the falafels. I don't even recall any dressing. There were also some pita slices with what I assumed was hummus. Whatever the dip was, it did not taste good to me at all. So I left all of the pita bread, as well, since it was dry without anything on it. Maybe what I assumed was hummus was a dressing. Hard to know, but it was not tasty. For the $27 I paid at a walk up counter, I would have expected much better food! I have bought frozen falafels at Lunardis (around $7) and made a salad for them at home, and enjoyed it very much, which is why I ordered it. I have purchased Spanakopita at the store many times, (about $5 for around 12 of them at the store) and made them at home, which is why I didn't order that. The falafel salad was not an enjoyable meal for me at Yiassoo's. I'd also seen some reviews from a few years back that said they paid around $10 or $11 for their meal. That is more in-line price-wise with what you get, based upon my meal. With most of the meals around $20 for lunch, I feel they were very over-priced. I also asked my friend if she'd like to split a Baklava. They had a pistachio one & chocolate one. My friend wanted to try the chocolate one, so I bought that. I didn't think I was too into baklava, but thought it might be nice to try at this highly rated Greek restaurant. The main flavor that came through was the honey & nuts. The chocolate was just a tiny, narrow drizzle on top. I didn't hate it, but I would never order it again. My friend took one bite, and said she mainly tasted the honey, and would take it home for her husband. It may be very good baklava, but it was not to our tastes. My friend ordered the Gyro salad. It had a large pile of shaved meat, and she seemed to enjoy it. She ordered it To-Go, as she knew she'd be taking some of it home. She seemed to have more lettuce under her pile of meat than my meal got. Maybe because it was in a To-Go box, which might be larger than the plate? Or maybe the person making my salad just wasn't paying attention to how to make a decent meal. I was hoping I was trying a restaurant that I could go back to for something different. Based upon my experience, I would not go back, if I had a choice. I gave it 3 stars, because maybe other dishes, or people looking to just eat meat or falafel balls and not much else would enjoy it. I only have the 1 meal to review, but it does not encourage me to try it again. Overpriced & not a fulfilling meal.

Good thing she sent me the online receipt, so I can show them. Always double check before you pickup. Beef kebabs were good, the grilled veggies were my favorite. They were done with just the right amount of char, still firm and not overly cooked. The basmati rice was fluffy and light, slightly seasoned. The only feedback I have to improve service would be that they gave me the aluminum trays, just like that, and I had to carry hot trays to the car. Perhaps a sturdy bag or cardboard box carrier would be better, since the trays were quite hot to handle.

The wait staff was so kind in providing me a snack of pita and yogurt dip while I waited. Everything was very delicious, but the falafel were not my favorite. Highly recommend the dips and pita.

It was tasty and came with a nice sauce and there was spicy sauce on the table. The inside is pretty basic, but has everything you need and is clean. The service is very good also. Although you order at the counter, they bring you the food and make sure you have napkins and utensils. They also have iced tap water readily available. It is a little pricey, but honestly most places are these days, so as long as the food is good quality, which this was, it's par for the course. I'd like to come back and try one of the plates. The gyro was reasonably sized, but I could definitely eat more next time.
