Van Ness Cafe & Gyros

I came from Australia to the United States for a holiday, and this restaurant has been one of the best places I’ve visited during my trip. The food was delicious, the portions were perfect, and the service was both fast and very polite. The staff were so attentive that they even offered me complimentary tea and coffee, which was a really nice gesture. The atmosphere of the place was also very enjoyable. I would definitely love to come back and I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was delicious and contained ample options. The owner was a very nice guy named Vedat , who got us our food in a timely matter and offered us a cup of tea! Will definitely make my way here again when I'm in the area.

Delicious authentic food. I tried Mediterranean platter, it was huge and delicious. The kebabs were soft and juicy. The baklava is a must try

Everything was great

This place is amazing! The foods are packed with flavor and super fresh, and the portions are generous. The staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome right away. It’s a very cozy place but the food honestly hits the spot every time.

It would be better if you packed the soup in a sturdier container or wrapped it with plastic wrap.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Comfortable seating and atmosphere, excellent customer service and delicious food with very generous portions. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a long time. The Kofte was juicy and very well seasoned and the appetisers completed the dishes nicely.

Horribly rude weekend staff. Desk not attended. Staff take their anger out on customers. Not worth it.

The gyro plate was huge with a great price, and the hummus was delicious and smooth. The plate and the separate gyros came with a dipping sauce that was like goat milk/cheese which was good. The gyros with fries has the fries inside which was interesting. And to top it off, the meal came with a small hot tea which they refilled for us. Great food, good service, low price!

It was late after a show we were hungry with no place to go. We googled restaurants and found this spot. What a refreshing little place. The food was fantastic, the service was fast, the place was clean, and the owner was a wonderfully kind man who met our every need. I highly recommend anything on the menu as well as the hot tea and all the wonderful deserts.

Stopped in town for lunch. I will tell you Remi runs a beautiful shop with delicious food and amazing hospitality. The combo platter was filled with a nice combo of items to try the lineup. It did not disappoint in the least. Remi was hospitable to my party and I would recommend you or any of your friends come have a sit down. Don’t forget to wrap up with some tea and baklava.

Late review,

I came here with my wife, and we had good experiences. This place is a hidden gem. I recommend everyone to try it. In Turkeye, this would be one of the restaurants the locals ate. I would come here every weekend if I lived close. Reminds me the times I spent walking through the streets of Istanbul.

Ps, halal by word, not sure if they are zabiha.
