“ Delicious food!! We ordered delivery and it will perfect. Will absolutely be coming here in person! ”
“ Gyroland & Bakery is an absolute gem! I stopped in around 8 PM on a Saturday night, about an hour before closing, and the place had a great atmosphere, busy but comfortable. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and Mehtap, in particular, went above and beyond. She was so kind and helpful, patiently answering all my questions and even offering me a Turkish coffee while I waited. I tried a little bit of everything, but the standout dishes for me were the gyro, the Lahmacun, and most of the desserts...just phenomenal! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The gentlemen running the brick oven was working quickly but with precision, I enjoyed watching him prepare everything, it was truly a pleasure to see him work at his craft. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. It's rare to find a spot that delivers both amazing food and genuine hospitality, but Gyroland does it effortlessly. So glad this place is close by, I'll definitely be back! ”
“ Oh My Goodness this place has Delicious Food with so much flavor!! My new favorite place. We started with the Lahmacun we shared this so good thin piece of bread with ground beef served with parsley and a slice of lemon you can fold it over and eat it. Then my husband had a Beef Kofte Sandwich and I had a Adana Wrap very very good. All their bread are baked fresh and they have some very delicious desserts all freshly home made we picked some out to bring home. We will most definitely be back many times!! Love this place ”
“ 1st stop here and enjoyed the vibe. Staff very friendly and the fire oven in the center of the counter was cool. Ordered the gyro wrap and the laymacun. Everything tasted extremely fresh and liked the presentation on the plank with fresh parsley and fresh lemon wedges. Everything was a bit low on salt which is rare for me to say as I never add salt to my food. The tzatziki was good but took a few bites to get used to as it had more of a ranch texture than a thick yogurt. ”
“ This place is very good. Food is excellent. Best lamb kebobs I have had anywhere. Large portions. Really good bread. Mehtap takes good care of your service. The pides are delicious. Very pretty inside. Now have logo water glasses and better napkins. Nice wine glasses. BYOB. Highly recommended. ”
“ Incredible food. Get anything of their chicken. It cut like butter and melted in your mouth. Our server was so so kind and accommodating. Such a fun, local spot. Definitely worth stopping. ”
“ So good. We had come when they first opened and had a good meal but it just kind of fell off our radar. I was craving kebabs for some reason (not that you ever need a reason for that) and this popped up on Yelp and realized we needed to come back. So worth it. The two of us decided to share the combo kebab which includes a sampling of: adana kebab, kofte kebab, chicken adana kebab, lamb shish kebab and chicken shish kebab. Lamb was tender, everything was seasoned well, but I think we both agreed the kofte was the surprising star that night. So juicy and flavorful. A+ We had more than enough meats that we were able to take home some for lunch the next day. In addition it included a large side salad we easily could share, Turkish bread, and your choice of appetizer so we went with the hummus which was creamy and delicious. They also brought us a baba ganoush which we didn't order. Wow glad they did. I've actually never had it but it was definitely something we would order again. Kind of sweet and maybe a little smokey. Really delicious. Server was wonderful. Very friendly and attentive. And there is a good amount of seating of various sizes. Definitely will be back and highly recommend. Oh and we took home some pastries from the stocked bakery case and yes that will also be happening again. Good times. ”
“ I stopped by here a couple of Fridays ago with my wife for dinner. We had unexpectedly found ourselves childless for the evening and so scrambled to Yelp for a somewhat close place to us. After some looking around, we ultimately chose to visit Gyroland and Bakery. This restaurant is located on Babcock Blvd not too far from where Thompson Run Rd ends into it. Whenever we arrived on this early Friday evening there were only a couple of other people in the restaurant and the numbers stayed low even though there was a steady stream. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but due to the heat we chose indoor. Besides the tables they also had a giant display case with some of the bakery items in it for all to see. For dinner on this evening my wife and I started out by sharing the babaganush and then I went with the iskender kebab while my wife went with the combo kabab. My entree was described as Lamb gyro topped with medium - hot tomato sauce and yogurt over pieces of traditional turkish bread while my wife's was described as Grilled combination of adana kebab kofte kebab, chicken adana kebab, lamb shish kebab and chicken shish kebab. The babaganush here was good with a nice smokey flavor to it but what my wife and I really appreciated was the bread which was like your normal pita, only thicker. They worked together nicely and our server did bring us more whenever our entrees came out. Then for our entrees, well both mine and my wife's were delicious. She let me try all of the four meats she received and each was juicy and flavorful. My iskender kebab ended up having a great flavor from the sauce. While I wouldn't call it spicy, I did really enjoy it. Then my meat was also tender and the biggest surprise of all for me was that as described, it was all over the Turkish bread. That bread was cut up tiny and almost played the role of what noodles would in an Italian dish. I throughly enjoyed it but it was also a super heavy dish and I left taking half of it home. With all of our food being fantastic, it was really the service that dropped this from a 5 star to a 4 star review. With a mostly empty restaurant you would think that service would be great but I did sit for most of my dinner with an empty glass of water and only got a new one when I asked when getting the bill. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While the food may seem a bit pricey at first glance, you definitely get a lot and it's flavorful too! ”
“ I dined here with my parents and daughter with 7pm reservations on a Saturday. They have raved about this place for weeks after dining twice there, so I was eager to try it for myself. My dad highly recommended the lamb chop kebabs, which were perfectly tender and seasoned amazingly well. The pide with pepperoni was incredibly cheesy and rich. House salad and pita with marinara were also tasty. Service was slow. She seemed new. Very friendly but forgetful. I'd love to try more samplings from here. ”
“ Doesn't look like much from the outside but very cute little restaurant on the inside. And by 7pm the place was packed with guests. Had the Adana kebabs, wife had the kofta wrap. Both had some hot tea as well shared some baba ganoush. Really enjoyed the meal. Kebab was super flavorful. Service was a bit slow (only one server) but not painfully so. Overall great spot. Oh and seemed to have a great bakery, so will need to come back and have dessert. ”
