★☆☆☆☆ Very very bad customer service. Food was awful and not cooked properly. The guy at the register was very rude.
Very disappointed!!! Posted on October 22, 2012 |

★★★★★ I have been a regular customer over years mainly because they have the best gyro in the bay area.
I clarified with the owner that the food is completely halal / zabiha which he confirmed positively . It looks like there is some typo or misinformation about this place as being partially halal which seems to be incorrect. I have also seen cafe gyros at SBIA Eid fair in San Jose fair grounds over the yrs. Posted on November 20, 2011 |

★★★☆☆ Came across this place by chance. Decided to have mediterranean over the halal Thai place next door. Price appears to be competitive. My impression of this place is a hybrid of fast food with some confortable seatings and take-out so not much effort is put on to interior decor nor service. To me, as long as the food is good enough and the portions are good which in this case is generous gets my recommendation. The prices are low because you have to pick your order and return the dishes back to the counter...which I don't mind. Posted on August 1, 2011 |

★★☆☆☆ Food is ok, really depends on what time and day you are there so you might get freshly made meat or re-heated. Place is small, really needs to give the place a face lift and redo the seats. Tables are not always clean, you have to request to get them cleaned. Posted on January 19, 2010 |

★☆☆☆☆ Food was below average. We ordered a plate of beef gyros which included rice. The rice was crunchy like corn flakes. We also ordered fallefel, which were hard as a rock. The staff served everyone except my wife and child. They waived me from the front counter to pickup my drinks and to retrieve food. I ordered the food to dine in, but they setup my food to go. I'm not really sure what was going on here, but I really felt unwelcomed. I'm definitely avoiding this place again. Posted on November 24, 2009 |

★★☆☆☆ The quality of food has gone down since last few months. I have been going to this place since it has started and their cooks have been changing. Got food last night and it had lot of salt and was not consistent. This problem is not one time problem; we have been watching the quality go down since last few months.
I am sad saying this as my kids grew up eating food from this place but these days there are better choices in Fremont Al hamdulillah for Gyros and wrap. Posted on July 26, 2009 |

★★★☆☆ The food is great but the customer service needs to improve. They also need to do a better job in cleaning the tables and booths after customers leave so future customers can sit and eat in a clean place. Posted on July 19, 2009 |

★★★★☆ I have eaten here many times and there service and food are great. Prices are reasonable and the food is fresh. This is a great place to have halal burgers, cheese steaks and much more. I highly recommend this restaurant. Posted on August 2, 2008 |

★★★★★ I always enjoy going to this place. Their food is great and the owners are very nice and friendly. They always make you feel welcome. I just love their burger and fries. They also have halal fried chicken, but not all the time. You have to call ahead or wait 30 or so minutes if they have it. I keep going back. I recommend this place to everyone.

★★☆☆☆ I had high expectations from this place, having heard of it from others. I was there on a Saturday for lunch. I ordered the lamb+beef gyro which was not bad. However the Falafel plate that I ordered was a big disappointment, the falafels were stale and the hummus was mediocre (with out any tahini). The only thing good was the tatziki sauce. My son ordered the grilled chicken burger which was terrible. We probably wouldn't go there again. Posted on April 6, 2008 |

★★★★★ Excellent food... the employees were VERY nice and friendly, and their philly cheese steaks were awesome.We went their last night and came back for a late breakfast today... if you don't like your philly cheese steak spicy then just tell them, and they'll do it.:) Their baklava is very good, too.

★★★★★ Went to Cafe Gyros over the weekend to make Iftar with my family! It is the best halal restaurant I've been to in a long. Everyone there was so extremely helpful especially the Jordanian guy. He makes the best Chicken Shawarmas and Lamb Gyros. He was very nice to my family. They give you so much food for the money. You really have to try it. Posted on October 8, 2006 |

★☆☆☆☆ food is below average. every time i go there to expect this time may be food will be better but is not and food is not consistent. every time they use different sandwitch buns. i don't have any choice in fast food espically when you have to eat halal food. i wish we would have more fast food resturant with the better quality food. with taste.

★★★★★ The spicy cheesesteak is excellent. Be warned though, it is properly spicy. Also, the place is very clean and of a decent size. It feels like an old school diner. Today was my first time there, but I will be visiting again, and often. Posted on February 25, 2006 |

★★★★☆ Overall, the food here is great. Portion size can vary sometimes though. Highly recommend their gyros and philly cheese steak sandwiches. Posted on February 13, 2006 |

★★★★☆ Went their on our vacation, great gyros and shawarmas...highly recommend it. Posted on August 26, 2005 |

★★☆☆☆ Since Cafe Gyros opened up early this year, I must say their quality of food and service has declined substantially. The portion size has decreased, the fries are not fresh (they actually take the fries [which are already cooked] and then deep fry them again when an order is placed). The grilled chicken burger is never consistent (e.g., different bun, 1 piece of chicken breast one day, and then cubes of dark meat on another day, the cheeseburger is also made ver inconsistently).
They need to pick it up and not strive to cut corners. Cutting corners does NOT pay off in the long run.
I was very dissapointed with my last visit. Won't return for a while. Posted on July 13, 2005 |

★★★★★ Excellent Place...Philly CheeseSteaks' are the best...nice and clean place and the owner and staff are very friendly. Definitely will go there and give them more business! Posted on January 24, 2005 |

★★★★☆ These are the same owners from the old location inside the new park mall food court. Great food and the place is very clean. We tried the cheeseburger combo and spicy gyro sandwich; and I must say it was really good! The burgers are huge! You can have your choice of regular or large for the sandwich size. Just so you know, if you order a large for the cheeseburger, you get a huge DOUBLE cheeseburger. We did not know this -- we thought a "large" size meant you get more fries.
They also have philly cheese steak and chicken sandwiches and it comes with cheese (unlike another, recently opened cafe where you have to pay extra for cheese on a cheese steak sandwich??)I'm definitely going to try visit cafe Gyros whenever i'm in the area.
Go to Cafe Gyros and give them your business. The owners are very nice and friendly. We definitely need more restaurants like this one. It's a refreshing change from the traditional desi restaurants in the area. I hope this place stays open for a very long time. Posted on January 22, 2005 |
