Greek Gyro Stand - Kapaa

I wanted to like this place. Kauai badly needs good Mediterranean food. But despite friendly people working there, the quality just isn't what it needs to be. I had to wonder if the cooks had ever encountered gyros before. The ingredients were mostly there, but the proportions were way off, and the end product rather dry and lacking in flavor. Typically gyros achieve moisture through liberal application of tzatziki sauce and not skimping on fat and oil when basting the meat or prepping the bread. What GGS sold me was about cardboard level dry. Got to be more generous with the tzatziki or look into adding something like tahini sauce.

So glad we stopped here! Authentic, flavorful place. Large portions. The aroma was so amazing we didn't take pictures before eating.... we didn't think of it till midway through.

Not bad. Definitely not the best gyro I've ever had lol. Felt like it was more of a greek salad lol. Way too much lettuce! I get the impression they haven't experienced a traditional gyro because they're usually mostly meat with very little in garnish. The lamb was flavorful, but dry and the pita bread was bland. It was huge, but pricey. It's an ok place to go if you really want a gryo, but remember it's Kauai so authenticity of most food is lacking. Most ingredients are limited to Costco because its the only source of supply on Kauai

My partner and I just got a jumbo chicken and jumbo lamb gyro here and it did not disappoint! The jumbo was worth the fee extra dollars and was loaded with meat and all the typical gyro toppings. Super satisfying and delicious meal. We are considering going here for breakfast tomorrow that?s how pleased we were with our meal.

We opted for this little spot to try something different and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious!! With a capital D. My Husband and I ordered the jumbo lamb and regular falafel and were Surprised at the portions when we got our meals. Each order was served with a stuffed Grape leave and 2 pepporcini. We also ordered the baklava but I am still soooo full from our meal we haven't tried it yet.
