Had a lovely lunch experience here today. Dined alone, and got probably the simplest menu item: gyros, fries, and a Coke. The gentleman made me feel so at home; he was very attentive without hovering, and best of all the food was incredible. Thinly sliced gyros meat piled high on perfectly griddled pita. Super hot and fresh steal fries. Great experience, hot and fresh, great service, delicious! What more could you ask for?
I've been coming to Central Gyros ever since I was a little kid - how have I not reviewed this place yet?!?! Central Gyros is by far my favorite Greek restaurant. This restaurant is incredibly humble, down-to-earth, spacious, and extremely delicious. They have a die hard staff that has been for years. The service here is spectacular - they're so hard working and they know their menu off the back of their hands. I also found out they have new owners now during my most recent visit a few days ago; I've always loved the staff here! The food is where the gold's at. This Greek food is GOOOOOD. I highly recommend their chicken shish kabob plate that comes with rice, potatoes, and a soup. Their avgolemono soup is the best in the area. I squeeze extra lemon in it to make it more sour. Their gyros are to die for and their Greek salad is light and refreshing. Their fries are very thick and potatoey, too - my family absolutely loves the fries. The complimentary seeded bread is endless and yummy. They also have the best Greek potatoes I've ever had at any Greek place. It's all reasonably priced, as well. Overall, if you're looking for a delicious, down-to-earth spot for some Greek food, you've found it!
