Central Gyros

“Been coming to Central Gyros since I was little and I’m 36.”

Been coming to Central Gyros since I was little and I’m 36. Food has not changed. That’s a hard thing to find. Ediet is always our waitress and she knows our order by heart. She gives me extra pita to go w my left over gyros. Shes amazing. Food is always good. The tzatziki sauce is homemade and the best I’ve had.

I used to come here for the navy bean soup when I lived in the area. I’m visiting this week and drove straight from O’Hare and I’m so happy to discover that it is still just as good.

“We have been going here as a family for over 30 years.”

We have been going here as a family for over 30 years. This really is the best gyros in all of Chicago, even better than what you’ll find in Greek town. Everything is always fresh and the customer service is always friendly. The prices are really getting up there. I know there is inflation but at $25-$30 per person you can go to a steak house. Maybe they should offer some lunch specials. I still love this place and will continue to come.

“Excellent Greek and Chicago specialties.”

Excellent Greek and Chicago specialties. We started with Saganaki (flaming Greek cheese), they used to flamblé at table side, now they flamblé near the table and when it goes put they serve it. We also had calamari (kalamari). I strayed from the Greek traditional dishes and tried the fried smelts; if you grew up in the midwest, you might have tried smelts, and Central Gyros served them exactly as I remember my mother did. We also got Pastitsio, a Greek lasagna type dish. All entrées are served with soup, and we all chose the egg lemon soup. Solid choice. Overall Central Gyros has been doing Greek food for decades and provide great food at reasonable price.

First time here. Took my mom to meet my daughter & my son in law for lunch - they recommended this restaurant. As soon as we walked in the smells were amazing! Tried the flaming cheese (saganaki I believe) I'm hooked!! The waitress brought us bread, butter & plate full of olives (yum) to nibble on. 3 of us ordered the trio platter, my daughter ordered the chicken gyros platter - all was perfect! For dessert we each had a slice of baklava....I wanted to stretch out & nap right there - would have been the perfect ending to a fun, delicious lunch. We will go again definitely!!! Thank you Central Gyros for an amazing lunch!

Been coming here for 25 years. Love this place. Great food all around, but definitely try the saganaki, gyros, and suvlaki. Can't go wrong with any of those.

“I have not been to this place in about 20 years and everything was still great as I remembered.”

I have not been to this place in about 20 years and everything was still great as I remembered. I ordered the Pasticcio Dinner with a side of Lemon rice soup. Everything was really good, the service was also good. Don't have much to say about this restaurant, so if you like Greek food give it a try.

“The gyro was seasoned very well, and there was plenty of meat.”

The gyro was seasoned very well, and there was plenty of meat. I got two and I probably should’ve gotten only one. After, I was pleasantly STUFFED! Plus, got burgers for my kids and they all said it was really good! Skewers was good too! When I come back to the Chi, I will definitely visit them again!
