Kebab Gyros and Pita Bar

I’ve eaten at this place twice now. First time I got the Falafel, which was pretty good. (I’ve had way better, but what do you expect in Nashville?) This time I got a salad. List price for the most basic house salad:$ 6.95. Kinda pricey for lettuce and tomatoes, but I chose to add a protein to it and that raised it $ 2.95 higher. (It said it came with Kalamata olives. They piled it high with black olives instead. blah. The taste of the food, otherwise, was good. That is the only reason I came back.
The gentleman who worked the assembly line to make my salad was Mr. GrumpyPants. He never once looked me in the eye, nor did he raise his voice above mumble-​level. When I didn’t hear one of his under-​the-​breath questions he got snippy with me. «Tabbouleh, YES​.OR​.NO…» still never above a mumble. The gentlewoman behind the register, Mrs. I-​Have-​No-​Craps-​To-​Give, also had the inability to look customers in the face and spoke in a disinterested monotone usually only reserved to DMV employees. Sad.
When I go to a restaurant, I like to be made to feel like I am a valued customer. Thank you for choosing our restaurant, ma’am, we hope you’ll come back. This one has made me feel like I was preventing the staff from having their Union Nap. I probably won’t be back.
P. S. Turn on the AC!

The food was really delicious and fast sufficient service. I was here on a business trip but plan on coming back with my family.

Hands down the best Greek food in Nashville. Lots of healthly options, not just your typical rice, meat, bread, ranch dressing kinda place. I usually get the greek salad with chicken or the chicken platter. The food is very fresh.

The food was good, the place seemed clean and the people were nice enough.
I didn’t like having to stand in line to pay with everyone else when I had called the order in. I also think I was overcharged. The menu board said $ 6.95, but she rang up $ 7.90. They were busy and I was in a hurry so I didn’t hassle it. It’s a nice change from the fast food around here, so I will go there again.

The food is excellent and the staff have always been friendly. Even when the line is long, they keep it moving quickly. Brought my 18-​month old here recently and she even enjoyed the gyro and hummus!

I came here for a Spanish Language and Culture Meetup group.
Pros:
1. It was quiet and there was a large table so we could all speak together and hear each other well.
2. It was clean.
3. Prices are good.
Cons:
1. It was FREEZING. I was literally shivering it was so cold.
2. My salad was kinda blah. It didn’t have much flavor.
2. The only dressings they have are balsamic vinaigrette, ranch and Taziki sauce. I got the balsamic and Taziki, and they were very bland. The Taziki sauce was nothing like Taziki sauce. It tasted more like watered down ranch.
I’d come here again if the group meets here again, but I wouldn’t drive out of my way to come here on my own.

Anyone rating this place with less than 5 stars is eating the wrong thing, or needs to get their taste-​buds checked out by a licensed Orthodontist! This place hands down has the best Gyro’s I’ve ever had… EVER. I get a chicken gyro, with rice, tomato, onion, and lettuce, with some of that white ranch sauce… CAN YOU SAY HEAVEN ON EARTH??? I’ve had Gyro sandwiches in many many states, and none can compare! I’ve been eating at this place well over 20 years… This place is a Nashville landmark.
The fact that this place is able to stay in business for so many years in a DEAD location, next to an ABANDONED MALL shows that they have EXCELLENT FOOD that keeps people coming back!

This is one of my go-​to places in Nashville. I used to work around the corner and came here multiple times a week. Falafel is awesome, the tabbouleh is tastier than everywhere and that white sauce is ridiculous! I almost want to tell people not to come here because I don’t want it overrun by tourists!

There are a few Kebab Gyro’s on here so hopefully this is the right location. I’m not overall familiar with Nashville but we found this hole in the wall while driving in the downtown area.
There is limited seating on not much of an atmosphere, and it looks like the locals were mostly sitting down for a quick lunch.
Parking was hard to find so I ended up just pulling in and getting our food to-​go.
They had a good variety on their menu but yes it was mostly cafeteria style service. Definitely not a restaurant/​dining in environment. But I didn’t mind it, actually was looking for somewhere quick.
The FOOD: I ordered the gyro and it was delicious. Not your typical gyro. They cut the top of the pita bread and «stuff» the bread with meat and fillings of your choice. This was the best Gyro I’ve had in the South and beats a lot of them up North.
This place is busy during lunch time and would not recommend eat-​in. It is family owned and they were very friendly.
I will definitely eat here again and do recommend it to anyone looking for a good Gyro.

Looks can be deceiving, I didn’t think this place would be that great based on the location and the looks from the outside, but the marinated chicken platter I had over rice pilaf and house salad was good, and a good deal for the amount of food.
Good sign that there was a pretty good line of people from surrounding businesses; you know if the locals like a place, it is usually a good sign.
The people were friendly and patient and make sure your order is correct.

Good spot for a quick lunch in an area without many sit down restaurants. Good, not great, Mediterranean fare. Fresh ingredients and friendly people. You can get out for less than $ 10.

Sit down place by the lake in Metro Center, outdoor patio, plenty of seating indoors, cafeteria style food. Platters, sandwiches, wraps, No better No worse than any of its type in Nashville, just simply getting away with it (sigh), beef/​lamb mixed together, could not taste the difference, horrible tasteless rice, and the classic watered down ranch, chick pea salad was soggy. Had no expectation and none were met. $ 12 for lunch. The possee I was with thought it was great.

So now that I work at MetroCenter it has come to my attention that there are a paucity of decent restaurants to try in the area. In order to avoid fast food we went to Kebab Gyros. It is located in a strip of places that includes Neely’s BBQ — which smelled so freakin delicious I almost never made it into Kebab.
So this place has no atmosphere whatsoever, so don’t expect much in that respect. Just a bunch of tables where people with limited time to eat can sit and grub down really quickly. Also, the trashcans needed to be emptied and there were a ton of gnats flying around them. Ew. So don’t expect it to be very clean either. That being said… on to the food!
So there will be a line at lunch time but it moves quickly so don’t let that run you away (if the gnats haven’t already ran you away, that is). The menu includes gyro or chicken pitas, platters that include gyros, chicken, or combinations + rice and tabbouleh, or platters where you choose two specialty items (like hummus, greek orzo, tabbouleh, chickpea salad, etc). They also have salad offerings. I got the gyros platter. The meat was plentiful and was pretty decent. Liked the yogurt sauce to dip it in and the pita they served on the side was soft and fresh (might have been store bought, not sure, but was still good). Price was $ 8ish for the platter plus a drink. And drinks are serve yourself which is good because you can refill right before you leave to get some afternoon caffeine. AND it is a Coke establishment so you don’t have to drink crappy Pepsi instead. Service is fast and efficient — no time for friendliness or banter here.
Try Kebab Gyros if you are in the neighborhood and are looking for something different than the usual fast food!
