Yelp.com Review - by Natalie G.

4.0 of 5 stars. All around good. Could be cleaner and cheaper. Great food though, especially if you get it to go.

Yelp.com Review - by Adrienne W.

3.0 of 5 stars. Solid Gyros for Orinda and Contra Costa in general. However, with Berkeley right over the hill it is hard to be the best gyro. We go here fairly consistently when we are visiting my fiance's family...

Yelp.com Review - by meg w.

3.0 of 5 stars. Lambs are nice to pet, but better to eat. Yum. I love gyros. This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, with a couple tiny tables cluttering the sidewalk, so don't bank on eating there. Good gyros, good...

Yelp.com Review - by J. A.

4.0 of 5 stars. Mmm... lamb souvlaki! It's a teeny little place, so eating in is rather annoying unless you can score one of the outside tables, but whenever I'm in Orinda (every 3 months or so), I always stop and...
