They have a great little outside sitting area. Perfect weather for it.The food was great. I tried all 3 Gyros.Pork, chicken, and falafel.The chicken was really interesting with the mandarins, candied walnuts and feta.. the flavors were all over the place, in a really good way.But the pork was my favorite over all.Grab a Greek beer too (as seen in pic )Love this place ❤️

Food itself was amazing. Im usually a traditional gyro type of guy, but since Im doing keto I took a salad approach. He made me a gyro salad which was fantastic. He made my friend a chicken gyro which made me jealous. Place is legit and Id be more than willing to come by every week.

Amazing authentic greek meals here! 🇬🇷 I met Kosta, who is not only really friendly and welcoming, but a great chef! Kosta is super knowledgeable about Greece if you want to ask him about the islands. Just about everything here is authentic! Even the snacks sold in the store are from Greece! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and not overwhelming just like it tasted when I was in Greece. There is ample parking surrounding the building. It is safe to eat here during a pandemic because of the garden patio that is well shaded and distanced.. You can even take a fun photo in front of a huge Santorini wall! Definitely worth visiting more than once for a fantastic lunch or dinner!

Should have cancelled. We got a gyro salad and chips and a drink. $35 bucks 🤪Usually lamb gyros are made from yummy meat on a turning grill. Not this place. It was stewed or simmered chunks of lamb with the fat still on there. Very little seasoning..Salad had no appeal to it. With a balsamic dressing..umm not what a Greek salad dressing comes with!! And compared to other Greek places..pita Q etc you get what you pay for. Step it up guys.. or business will not make it!

This is a great little restaurant. The food is good and very well priced. I love the selection of olives, cheese, and assorted desserts. They also carry a small selection of greek products, which is great.The folks who own and run this place are so friendly! Its clear that they are the kind of business that appreciate customer loyalty and will give regulars that personalized service that can make a cafe really enjoyable. Definitely a hidden gem.

A client of mine recomended this place so tried it for the 1st time.The owner was delightful and enjoyed our talk.Ordered 2 lamb gyros unfortunately the lamb was very fatty and the tecture was mushy not what I expect in a gyro.$27.00 OUCH.Will stick with Euro Cafe.

I have no issue with paying the the finer thing in restaurants. Today I went to our local Greek import on Fulton and ordered Lamb Gyro. It was more than discussing. The meat was poorly prepared and a huge disappointment a bit like groule, mooshy shredded like pot roast not at all tasty. Don’t expect I will go back there. I miss OpaOpa.

Review №15

Gyro was not what I am used to nor did it taste good to me. Had nacho cheese in it.Maybe I don’t know what a real Gyro is supposed to taste like but, I’ve grown up on Gyros and I am very dissatisfied and truly upset that my craving and taste buds did NOT get met.😢

The girls behind the counter werent the friendliest. We ordered two chicken gyros and they definitely werent traditional gyros, they had tangerines and candied nuts. They were more like really good chicken salad sandwiches in a pita.

I was hungry. Felt like a delicatessen. Lamb had the consistency that it came out of acrock pot stewed meat was not expected. Tzatziki wasnt quite right. The only person working was nice enough to make the experience enjoyable.

I love this place!!! Kostas serves four types of gyros -- both full-sized and minis -- including organic lamb, chicken, pork and veggie! I always pair mine with his delicious Gigantes beans and a glass of retsina! The pastries are great, too! With the Greek music playing and the classic Hellenic hospitality, its a place you dont want to leave!!

Pretty disappointing if you are looking for authentic greek grocery. Feta is ok but overpriced. Staff didnt even know what Kasseri cheese is. (You use it for saganaki. They dont have it.). Dolmades tasted like they had been around a while.

Fake. Came from out of town and wanted a good gyro. Stayed busy in random stores waiting for them to open. They literally never showed up to work. Extremely disgusting work ethic. Dont waste your time like I did. This place will definitely be closed down soon.

Greek Market and deli just finding its stride during a pandemic! The gyros are huge and cupped by delicious warm pita. Real Protein! Not preserved.

The last two times I went, they were out of chicken. I even called them the second time beforehand to check, but no one answered the phone. Please order more chicken so that your customers can have what they want.

Wow!! I think this is the best gyro in town!! I got the lamb, which is fresh grass feed, organic, and locally sourced. The tzatziki sauce and harissa sauce are delicious. Plus the gyro was bigger than any other Ive had. To put the icing on the cake, the owner is super friendly and inviting.

I always enjoy my visit with Kostas. Not only does he have great food he is also very pleasant. You really get a taste of Greek Hospitality aka Philoxenia.I highly recommend his mousaka and pasticchio. Followed of course with galaktoboureko and coffee.

Please swing by Kosta’s Greek market-cafe. The food is fine and the host is warm and friendly. Seating can be found in the terrace outside. In addition to your choice of meal, Greek desserts are available and so is Greek wine! There is a grocery of sorts as well.

Review №38

Wow. What a meal. My wife and I decided to give this place a try for our third wedding anniversary. Kosta gave us quite possibly the warmest welcome I have ever received, period (And thats including family gatherings - Grandpa, take notes). He offered some meal recommendations, along with a dessert and some snacks; we settled on two mini lamb gyros, the karydopita (a wonderful dense, moist honey cake), and some dolmadakia, with a Bundaberg ginger beer to drink.Everything was exceptional. The lamb (locally sourced, I might add!) was beautifully tender and perfectly seasoned, with a superb sauce. The karydopita was delicious; I expected it to be a little too sweet, as honey desserts often are, but I was pleasantly surprised. The orange zest and nuts add a lovely texture. The dolmadakia is phenomenal, with a zesty, tangy taste. It would make a great snack with a beer, I think.All in all, I have nothing but good things to say about Kostas shop. Ill definitely be coming back.

Food is great, all of it. Been here four times so far no complaints. Nice dog friendly patio. Good imported beer.Costa is a great guy - He’ll probably invite you to go to Greece, you should probably take him up on it.

Review №40

The lamb gyro was amazing. Best gyro of my whole life from this local treasure. Costa was super nice. He was swamped and we had to wait a while since he was the only one working when I went but he was super accommodating in his service. I’m going to go again.

Review №42

I ordered chicken gyro and side salad for lunch. The food was good... at least I can give them that credit, hence the two stars instead on one star rating. But otherwise it was an epic fail... 1) price point for lunch for one person $27. Yikes! The food was good, but not that good to pay that ever again. 2) there was one lady working the deli, and only one customer before me, but I had to wait 45 minutes to get my food! Took my entire lunch just to get food! 3) the lady working the deli didn’t even know the menu or what anything was when asked - luckily the customer before me was able to help me out a bit. 4) you can just look at the organization at the front counter and start to hope the food you’re about to eat is handled more orderly than that. :/The food has potential, but I’m not expecting this place to last long if continued to be outlandishly overpriced for a simple lunch and take a take forever to get your food and checked out.Won’t be going back.

A quaint little neighborhood Greek place with a deli selection of homemade foods and salads. I split a lamb gyro with my love and it was delicious. The people that work there are friendly and accommodating, and clearly engrained in the local Greek community, and have been for a long time!

Always clean restaurant and restrooms. Great atmosphere. Proprietor is always engaging with clientele. Food is delicious and well made. My child (who will only normally only eat boxed Mac and cheese voluntarily) loves everything shes tried, from desserts, to lasagna, to the wonderful Kalmata Olives. Have not been disappointed yet. Bread is delicious, everything has always been fresh and tasted wonderful. Baklava is AMAZING!!!

Review №55

This place gets 1 star for the customer service. Food was terrible. Ordered 2 lamb gyros and 1 bottle of coke and total came to $26. I didnt see any meat on those round spinners like the actual gyro place but I thought maybe its hidden in the back. Paid $26 for gyros n 1 bottle of drink so thought maybe the gyros are out of this world good....WRONG!!! The guy making my gyros opened a warmer and took some shredded flavorless roasted meat from the pot and placed it on pita bread with 2 small pieces of radish n 2 small slices cucumbers. I was just so shocked and dont understand why they call the nasty wrap gyros. There was no flavor whatsoever. My bottle of coke was warm and so when I asked for some ice, guess what?? They had no ice! Waste of money!!!

The owner, Costa, is an amazingly genuine person who really cares about the quality of his food and ingredients. The first time I came here I had a lamb Gyro and he offered me to try a very generous piece of the feta he uses in store while I waited. Absolutely terrific food, the lamb is unmatched in Sacramento as it isnt the typical ground Lamb Beef combo thats cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Instead its delicious slow cooked chunks of lamb.I really hope this places sees the popularity and success it deserves, because I truly love the food Ive gotten here.

An awesome find - and I was in a major hurry to get some food! Quickly served up 2 great lamb gyros, a lamb Greek salad, and a side of galaktoboureko. All ingredients were fresh, well made, and had an excellent flavor. Great owner who obviously is passionate about the business and keeps a clean place, makes excellent traditional Greek dishes (sad to say I didnt get to try everything), and provides fast service. Highly recommend.

For starters: PriceyLacks flavor and textureRestaurant overall uncleanA gyro on its own, without drinks or any add on, over $12. The lamb gyro left something to desire, the flat bread was tough, as if left to sit out all day, the meat was on the dry side.

Found a gem today! The Greek Food Import store is tucked on a side section of Fulton Avenue where the Arden-Arcade and Fair Oaks areas of Sacramento intersect. Owner Kostas is very friendly and welcoming. I stopped in between appointments today because Im preparing a mezze platter for a party this weekend (stay tuned for photos). There are just four actual Mediterranean markets in Sacramento. Ive visited the rest, but today was my first time here. And Ill be back soon, because this one is hands down the best! Kostas helped me select handmade dolmas, yummy cheeses (taste tested of course), olives, and other goodies. Apparently, they are known for their roasted meats which are used to prepare gyro sandwiches to order, their cheesecakes, and of course their old world hospitality and charm.
