Mmm mmm good! I ordered the lamb gyro with the pita and it was delicious. Fresh veggies and well seasoned Lamb. Generous portion sizes, has to take half of it home!

This was a very ordinary place—not particularly clean, and the ambiance lacked appeal. I ordered a gyro plate along with a 20 oz bottle of water. To my surprise, this simple lunch cost over $24.00, and with the required minimum 15% tip, the total came to more than $28.00. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience.

When I went to use the shared restroom to wash my hands, I returned to find my food plate left unattended on top of a small wall.

Hmmm... this just isn’t the kind of place I’d want to visit again.

If you like Gyros, you have got to visit this establishment. They supersize it!

Food is decent, big portions, on the pricier side. Not a lot of seating area. Only 1 person working taking orders and making food so service is a bit slow.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience here the portions of food was very small for the price . the yellow rice was uncooked it was not even going down the throat… and the beef kabobs and gyro had the strong beef smell almost no seasoning . The quality of the food was not what I expected for 60$.

This was incredibly good, a bit on the pricey side but given the size of the meal it is worth it. I will definitely be back here. Since it was my first time I asked the worker what he recommended and he helped me decide very quickly and was also really nice. The service was quick maybe about 3-5 minutes to receive my food.

Not good. Served cold. Sauce is loaded with mayo. Tummy shame followed immediately. Dirty shop. Floors were gross. Shan’t return again.

If you're bored of the traditional gyro 4 is the place to go. The way they do the bread and the addition of hot sauce make it a very pleasant change to an already perfect sandwich.

Family combination plate is awesome! Included beef, lamb, chicken, salad, rice, pita bread with fabulous Taziki and hot sauce allowing everyone to personalize plates.

SOOO DISAPPOINTING ? We live nearby and thought we’d give the place a shot since it has good reviews. Honestly feel they must be fake, because this is some of the worst greek/Mediterranean we’ve had. My chicken pita sandwhich just tasted like mayo (???) and was hardly edible. The chicken was literally flavorless and bland, the pita was stale. For the price, the portions weren’t all that big either. The lamb and rice were bearable compared to the chicken but overall extremely mid. Will definitely not be returning! So many other better spots in Oceanside to spend your money on.

Always fantastic one of the best places for a quick bite to eat. They even cater to large and small corporations.
