G’s Greek Food

Went to the farmer’s market and I enjoyed a delicious beef gyro. So good!

I started eating at this Greek stand about 4 months ago and I’m truly hooked! I battle the Farmer Market every Thursday just so I can eat one of their delicious gyros! Keep in mind i have eaten gyros from NYC to Chicago and I LOVE the way G’s puts their own special touch to theirs. I have read the reviews from others and ignorance is the word that comes to mind. This is not a traditional gyro place so stop comparing. After i spoke with the friendly staff they informed me what their objectives are and it made me appreciate what I was eating. NO their not using pre processed gyro meat with god knows whats is in there. They use FRESH ingredients, LOCAL beef, everything is made in house from starch, tzatziki, marinades, salad dressing etc. They butcher all their own meats and and FRESH fish. And since the theme of these markets are to use LOCAL ingredients I say G’s does an exceptional job at doing so!

Took a chance and picked up 2 of G’s lamb gyro plates last night at the Blaisdell Farmer’s Market — big mistake. Worst gyros we have ever had. Bread was thick and hard, lamb was tough, and the salad dressing was not good either. Overpriced and disappointing. Leo’s Taverna’s gyros are so much better.

I stopped by theyre booth when I was at the Kailua Farmer’s market one night. I adore Gyro’s and there is no greek restaurants near my area so I was excited that there was finally a place close to home where I could get a yummy Gyro.
They use locally sourced products in they’re dishes so that was a big plus for me, I figured the food would be fresher and of better quality. I ordered the beef gyro plate which included a gyro with all the fixings and a side salad. It was $ 10.00 so the price wasn’t bad at all.
The girl that took my order was pleasant and friendly and service was fast. It took a little less than 10 minutes till my food was ready. I grabbed my plate and managed to find a spot where i could enjoy my gyro.
When i opened my plate the food looked good. I took a bite of my gyro and i noticed the beef was not thinly sliced nor did it taste like gyro’s meat. I took a closer look at it and it was sliced steak. The meat was good and would have been great if i was eating a steak plate but this was not the situation. Steak doesnt belong in a gyro! The texture and thickness didnt mesh well and was not what i was expecting. The vegetables were fresh but the tzatziki sauce was extra tangy and a bit watery. The pita was good but my gyro fell apart after two bites, didnt matter because i wasn’t really interested in finishing it because if i wanted a steak taco, I would have simply went to taco bell :) The side salad was alright, basic nothing extraordinary.
I personally would not choose to eat from this place again. But it must appeal to some because they are at the Kailua farmers market every Thursday so i know somebody likes them, that somebody just aint me lol. If you like Gyros i highly suggest you avoid this place. If you like spending $ 10 on a «Steak Taco» code name Gyro then by all means this is the place for you.
I really wish there was a good greek place near my area. Till then I will keep driving the distance to satisfy my gyro cravings.
G’s Greek Food = Faux Gyro’s! :((

G’s Greek Food is found at the Kailua Farmer’s Market held in the parking lot by Longs Drugs. You’ll recognize them by their green signs.
The only thing that I can review of their food is the beef gyro. It was the first thing I tried and I’m hooked! It’s that good! They use Cattle Company beef with a tzatziki sauce that makes the gyro. They are generous with the beef. It’s served with a small side of salad greens with balsalmic (?) dressing… all for $ 10.00.
On their regular menu they also serve:
Greek marinated chicken pita sandwich w/​tzattziki and salad greens for $ 9.00.
Hummus and toasted ptia for $ 8.00.
Greek Salad for $ 7.00
They also usually have specials including a lamb gyro for $ 12.00, and a marinated fish dish.
They do catering, and also go to the Mililani Market (and sometimes the KCC Market) where they do breakfast under the name G’s Breakfast… and they tell me they make the best eggs benedict! Gotta get up early one of these days and drive to Mililani though what’s wrong with eggs benedict for dinner?!
