"This is by far my favourite takeaway place when I’m in Reading!"
"The gyros were overloaded in quantity and flavour."
"The food was absolutely delicious, the portion sizes were huge."
"Having lived in Greece for a considerable amount, I had been waiting for a Greek restaurant that serves a proper gyros for years! It did not disappoint!"
"Loooove it! I have eaten and tasted many 'pitogyro' because of growing up and living in Greece, although I think that this restaurant has one of the best of the Greece and UK."
Cons:
"This has so little meat it can probably legally be called vegetarian."
"Prices keep creeping up, two slivers of chicken, the tiniest sprinkle of salad."
"I’ve ordered food from this place through uber eats. I received the food and all pork meat were burned externally and completed raw inside."
"The chips very oily the salad not fresh and the tzatziki tastes like thick your-gut."
"The place is very clean and looks well looked after, and the staff are very pleasant. Tried the pork gyros today the bread tasted fresh and arguably the best I've tasted in a while, the pork thou was very minimal."
"The taste of the food is really nice, however, I would like bigger portions."
"The pork gyros was incredible, as was the chicken souvlaki. No photos because it got devoured so quickly!!"
"This looks appetizing ... but all the meat you see in the picture, sitting on top is all that is, really. Meat is rather salty."
"The food was good and fresh, the guy serving very polite has served first the girls and after the men."
"I’ve ordered a chicken gyros skepasti which includes chips and grated cheese, I want to say that the chips it was very dry, without cheese on top, only a little little bit and inside the gyros a bit chicken, pushed food."
"So Greek I kept imagining street cats everywhere. Limited vegetarian options means vegetarians have to eat the same tasty things every time."
"Average, looked nice but by the time we got it was cold and hard. Chips were not nice at all, had a funny taste to them."
"there were 3 very small pieces of meat in my souvlaki. When asked the chef he said this is what you get. lol"
"The food is amazing but I m very disappointed that I cannot get it delivered anymore. What happened ? I always order. Now my street is out of delivery area, why is that ?"
"Delicious food, reasonable price, rude by asking me to wait for my takeaway outside in a freezing weather not giving me any alternative to wait for it inside."
"So disappointed with this place. Was really excited to try it. Had a chicken gyros and the chicken was awful, tasted days old, was dry and chewy."

"We arrived a bit their closing and they were very friendly to let us have dinner still!"
"Ordered delivery from here via Uber Eats and was astounded by how good the food was."
"Staff is rude towards deliveroo riders. They are arrogant and they don't even make an effort to speak with you in english."
"First time visiting here and overall visit was pretty good but some minor improvements could have made this a 5* visit."
"A very dirty place, could see mice running in the restaurant, asked the waiter to clean the table but starting showing attitude."
"I was in the restaurant in Acton Town. We were 4 of us and we did 60£ orders before we finish the food one of the staff bring us the bills without asking and without finishing our food."
"Wow , just amazed by this guy with eyeglasses , veryy aggressive attitude , just asked to have my fries out from the gyros and have them separatly , the guy was verry angryy telling me this is not acceptable , with fries inside or without :))) now thats the most akward situation :)).. get a life !!!! Horrible staff and attitude"
"They mixed up my order. Instead of merida I was served pita wrap. Never mind. I was to hungry to wait and wrap was ok."
"Had to wait about 10 minutes before getting a menu (which didn't include a separate alcohol menu - see below paragraph) which wasn't great service but after that service was great because we were served by different staff members - one who I believe was the manager maybe and a friendly brunette female, both of whom were lovely, polite and friendly."
"I recently moved to Reading with my partner and we were hoping to find a nice Greek souvlaki place and we were not disappointed."
