Loved Elizabeth, she was giving beautiful customer service. My husband was able to speak to her about the food in Spanish to more clearly convey to her what exactly he wanted. She handed us a beeper, and we sat outside. Before our beeper even had the chance, Elizabeth came out with our food and served it to us! We even were able to come back in once they had closed the lobby to get our refill. Once we left, I forgot my phone and didn’t realize until 30 minutes after we left. We drove back, and Elizabeth comes out with a bright smile and my phone in hand. Thank you to this beautiful girl for making one of my first experiences, and my daughter’s very first time at Papa Gyros the very best! Thank you, to the cooks who made some beautiful food, and atmosphere! Loved the outside seating and lights!
Love this place! Fresh , delicious Greek cuisine that is sure to please! And the Mango smoothies are amazing! Fries are cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior. Gyros are a favorite!
Awesome hole in the wall type of place- from the outside it doesn’t look like an awesome choice but the food is actually outstanding. Very great service and clean inside! Very careful with allergies and lots of food for what you pay for! The chicken is so flavorful and the hummus is light and fresh! A new favorite for a casual lunch or dinner!
Authentic Greek food, but make it local! Everything here is delicious and so fun to try. The location is a great spot for lunch with friends or an evening meal with the family. AND coming this Spring you will be able to dine at the new Downtown Huntsville location!
Tried the Big Papa Gyro and it was very good. Will definitely be back here to try other items on the menu.
Best gyro ive ever had. Got the philly cheese steak sandwich and classic gyro. So friggin good. And the feta dip is to die for . Music not too loud and plenty seating.
Was a little unclear with the order, got the gyro plate. Thought it was the pita sandwich and fries. It was more like a bowl and salad. Still very good though.
This place is authentic! Great great food and good value! Will definitely be back here!
