ISTANBUL GYRO & BURGER

If you’re craving real Turkish shawarma, this place is worth checking out. The chicken and beef gyros are fresh, flavorful, and wrapped in soft lavash. I tried the gyro combo that comes with fries and a drink, and the portion was more than enough. They also have burgers if you’re in the mood for something different. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and everything felt freshly made. Don’t skip dessert. They have Turkish baklava and other sweets that are really good. Overall, solid food, good service, and a place I’d definitely come back to.

Had lunch. Folks working were very nice and accommodating. Fast service. Combo meal for a cheeseburger was somewhere in the neighborhood of $17 plus tip. Ample seating. The fries were crisp(ish) but completely unseasoned. The burger was decent size but there was oil or butter all over the top bun which made eating it extremely messy. I took the bun off and ate the burger and toppings only. The actual patty is definitely frozen and resembled a Costco frozen patty. The cheddar cheese was pretty good. Drinks are cans or bottles, no fountain drinks. Overall, very "mid" experience. Service was great. Food was not great. I really wanted to love this, but had trouble with the patty. Decor is not bad. Well lit.

Gyro itself tastes good and fresh. But it’s kinda dry, especially the chicken gyro. Fries are thick (see pictures). Staff are all very nice and everything is clean. If you are from Europe craving a good kebab/döner as you know it, this is not it!

Staff is friendly and the service is good. The food tastes okay, but it’s not close to authentic Turkish or European döner. It feels more like American-style shawarma. Traditional Turkish wraps are usually loaded with meat, which wasn’t the case here.

I ordered a chicken doner combo, and it was delicious. The fries were fresh and delicious as well. They even offered complimentary baklava, which was a very nice thought. The staff were extremely polite and friendly, and we were warmly welcomed. I will definitely come back again.
