| - This is one review I feel horrid writing anything negative since the lady owner was so accomodating to us (and actually cared if we liked the food), however, I eat an awful lot of my favorite ethnic food and feel pretty qualified to write on it.
OK, the hummus was really fresh which was a plus but, for me, a tad too much garlic altho my table companions liked it (so I'll shut up). Good pita served with it that was toasted just right, tho.
The gyros itself and the pita were A+, the tzatziki had a little too much dill in it, and where was the diced cucumber I am so acclimated to in it? But the tzatzkiki consistency was thickish which is right, because sometimes stores make it way too thin and runny.
But the gyro was muy good. Why do other gyros joints don't have fresh cooked meat like this and their gyros are always so overcooked and burnt? Not at King Gyros. Very fresh cooked meat = wonderful and juicy like it's supposed to be.
The baklava was good, too, but no nuts made it go somewhat downhill. I miss the nuts..sorry. I'd pay for the nuts to be put in it myself.
But the gyro meat--and the nice, fresh pita bread--tops!!! Some of the best cooked gyro meat I've ever had...and they don't skimp on the servings either since you get a really fat portion of meat with none of this fake-you-out-by-using-fillers-like-lots-of-lettuce-on-top stuff. Worth the trip just to get the gyro, frankly...it's superb!!!! The BEST I've had here so far!
Definitely trying this place again. I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars, so--in the name of strictly testing (yeah, sure)--I have to come back and re-test all. See? Anything for fairness...gawd, but I love that excuse to eat great food....
Prices are very reasonable, by the way.
