North Beach Gyros is a popular Mediterranean restaurant situated in the lively North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. The restaurant is known for its flavorful dishes and welcoming atmosphere. The grilled sampler, which includes two varieties of chicken, beef, kofte, and lamb, along with rice, salad, and pita, is a favorite among customers. The meats are described as flavorful and well-charred, though the chicken can sometimes be a bit overcooked. The baba ganoush is praised for its delicious taste, and the braised lamb shank is highly recommended for its melt-in-the-mouth tenderness. The Greek salad includes fresh tomatoes that add a garden-fresh flavor. The green hummus is full of fresh herbs, and a complimentary plate is often offered to guests who are full from other dishes. The falafel wrap is appreciated for its perfect balance of vegetables, falafel, and spicy sauce, though some find it packed with falafel and wish for more veggies. The fries are crispy and well-fried, and the shawarmas are known for being 85% meat, cooked perfectly, juicy, and slightly greasy, pairing well with the smokiness of the burnt pieces of the heated wrap. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, with live traditional music adding to the cozy setting. The staff are attentive and welcoming, making regular customers feel at home. Despite some mixed reviews about certain dishes like the falafel wrap, the overall experience remains positive. The restaurant is slightly on the pricier side, with some dishes over $19, and offers a menu key for dietary restrictions, though customers are advised to double-check with staff. Restrooms are available for guests. Overall, North Beach Gyros remains a reliable spot for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, combining flavorful food, friendly service, and a vibrant environment.
