Central Gyros - Chicago

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?

Our server has been working there for 20+ years and is super sweet and awesome at her job! My gf and I always go back and forth about who has better gyros (central gyros or gyros express). Well, I finally got to see what she is raving about. Saganaki is phenomenal! Best I have ever tasted, melts in your mouth. On top of their bread was perfection. Gyros, were delicious (but gyros express is better). Was a bit disappointed with the portion size. Normally, when we get a platter with an extra pita, we can stuff our gyros so they can barely close and still have more to pick at, this wasn't the case....we had to order and extra side of meat. So what really makes it a platter? Not sure. The restaurant itself has a great Greek feeling and decor.

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!

Central Gyros seems to be super popular and a favorite for many.I had to check this place out, because one of my favorite foods is gyros.I did a carry out, in which I ordered the Gyro sandwich I did ask for this well done, extra onions, with the tzaziki and the tomatoes.They definitely delivered on the onions, which I super appreciated. However, the pita bread was kind of stale should have been buttered up and super fluffy. The gyro meat was a little hard and chewy, as if they were already cooked in advanced and barely warmed up; I was expecting more of the 'fried ' that they describe on the menu, which would have been more crispy and more greasy... Definitely on the saltier end, which I didn 't mind.The portion is great, and you could easily make two pita sandwiches out of the meat.The restaurant itself had a funny odor; not sure if there was carpeting inside or not, but there was some type of a musty smell that I was not a fan of.Staff were super friendly and welcoming!There 's a free city parking garage across the street, which is super convenient just be careful crossing Central, as it 's a super busy street.+chewy gyro meat+friendly service!+free city garage across the street

Service great. Ma and Pa shop. We all ordered gyros. They were decent thinly shaved with pita bread, onions, and tomatoes and a bed of hot thick deeply fried French fries. The side sauce was good too.
