JAYNA GYRO Emeryville

I recommend against the falafel. You can tell from the uniform shapes that it comes off a conveyor belt, which also means that it comes out of a freezer. The stuffed grape leaves were better, but chances are they come from a huge jar. Even the lettuce in the falafel bowl was disappointing because it's shredded, like at McDonald's. If you find something there that's prepared on site, chances are it will be better than what I ordered.

Jayna Gyro is inside one of the best 'food courts' in the Bay Area. The food was really tasty and fresh. I had the Gyro: The pita was soft, ingredients were piled high so I used a fork to get it manageable enough to then eat holding the pita. Their version of fries (more like potato pieces) were delish...garlic & feta. Wife really liked the falafel wrap. My only knock's were things likely out of there control: 1) the prices have gone way up in. In 2021 price for the Gyro was $10 and in 2025 it's $15.50...but to be fair most of the places in the food court were $15-$20 for a meal; and 2) the table we were at was 'sticky', like it was 'cleaned' with wet rag that hadn't been washed in days. We tried another table, same result. These are large shared tables that the whole food court uses, so it's not a knock on Jayna, but maybe they can lean on Public Market.

It's in an indoor food court, super casual, nothing fancy. :)

Absolutely over seasoned. Couldn't even get through half the meal because the seasoning was too much. Overpriced also.

Prices are out of hand for the amount of protein given. Chicken gyro prob and 2 ounce max of chicken. Then add tip screen to insult making it a $18 + gyro. Low value

Good gyro.

This place is right inside the food court. However, the food was 10/10. Super delicious. The meats were tender and juicy. The kunefe is to die for. I totally recommend this place 100%.

Food 2 star, service 5 star. The falafel bowl was a sad affair. The falafel was so dry and flavorless, the salad was basically just shredded iceberg and one wedge of tomato with barely any dressing, and even the pepperoncini didn't have a vinegary zing. Rice and pita were alright. Service was great.
I hope the owners see this review and try to improve their menu.

Really cool place. Seems like a lot of attention to detail and pride in their work by the staff. Healthy if you want to be but also unhealthy too if your got cravings! Try it out you won't regret it!

This is the worst gyro I've ever had. The meat is dry and tasteless and so is the pita. Very disappointed.

I went to check out Jayna Gyro in Emeryville because I love Tarla’s in Napa, CA. Jayna Gyro is located in The Public Market which has a common food hall/court. Public parking was free and easy to find a spot. There are a variety of cuisine options. Nestled amongst them all is Jayna Gyro. It was quiet when I arrived and I did not have to wait in line. I ordered the Beef & Lamb Gyro. The gyro was beautiful and snuggled up inside the box. I love the idea that there is something for everyone at this local spot!
