Not impressed with the overall experience. I came here for the first time to try the gyros, and it will definitely be the last.
The service wasn’t the issue—the food was. We waited about 15 minutes for one gyro, which is surprising considering it’s supposed to be a quick, grab-and-go type of dish. We ordered the pork souvlaki gyro with extra feta for $1.00 and took it home, only to be really disappointed with the quality.
There were only two small pieces of pork souvlaki, four fries, two onion slices, two half slices of tomato, a smear of tzatziki, and feta—all on a stale pita. The pork was extremely dry and tough, the fries tasted like generic frozen fries (tasting a bit too much like Checkers fries), there were barely any onions or tomatoes, and there was no lettuce at all, which you’d expect in a traditional gyro. The tzatziki tasted like plain yogurt with no dill or cucumber, and the feta we paid extra for might as well not have been there. The pita definitely seemed store-bought, not fresh.
Overall, the quality, price, and wait time just didn’t hit the mark. It also completely missed the essence of traditional Greek food on the go. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold a candle to what a gyro should be.

We love Efi's! It's our every Wednesday take out. Lamb and chicken kabobs have been our longtime favorites. Occasionally, I'll treat myself to the full gyros with the fries inside the Pita. DELICIOUS!!!

The Greek salad here is amazing fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The customer service was excellent too; I asked for a small tweak to my order, and they were more than happy to accommodate. The tzatziki is fantastic as well, creamy, garlicky, and just right. Overall, an awesome experience! Highly recommend.
Was going to eat here the other day but the music they blast outside on the sidewalk is awful! Does a business realllllly need to turn their surrounding sidewalk into a club? Don’t we have enough people walking around with Bluetooth speakers everywhere these days? An otherwise relaxing area of Montclair is disturbed by Efi’s incessantly cringey and soulless EDM pop soundtrack. Tacky and immature small business behavior.

This restaurant deserves all the hype. The tzatziki is incredible and the staff is so cool and friendly. Hands down best gyro in the tristate area
