Der Gyros-Grill in Essen

I'm so blown away by this place. I came all the way from East Frisia with my wife to visit family there. And the first thing on the agenda? Getting food from there. ♡ It's the best Greek restaurant in Essen. The value for money is amazing. I hope this place stays around for decades to come.

The Gyros Grill is really good. The staff are very nice and friendly, and the takeaway food is also very tasty. The prices are quite normal. I can only recommend it; the Gyros Grill is very good.

Huge portions, great value for money, friendly staff.

The only and best snack bar, even if you have to drive. I haven't found a better snack bar since 1988. Fresh produce, simply delicious.

I've been a regular there for over 30 years and have always been greeted and served warmly 👍 I probably don't need to say anything about the food, as I wouldn't have been going there for so long if it wasn't top-notch 🥰 It's wonderful that there are still such snack bars and owners like this who are so passionate about what they do 👍 If the owners read this, I'd like to say thank you for everything over the years 😘

So! I have to say something about "The Gyro Grill"! Finding a snack bar these days that prioritizes quality and places even greater emphasis on quantity is more than winning the lottery! I/we have been there twice now. The first time, I had almost half of the generous Metaxa gyro packed up because I simply couldn't finish it. The second time (taxi plate) I had a similar experience, but then I only left behind part of the more than generous portion of fries! It's very busy there, everything is done in a friendly manner and as quickly as possible, and paying is less of a problem because the prices are just right! We're now becoming regulars because there's nothing better within a 15km radius or even further when it comes to Greek snacks. From what I've experienced there...😫 I drive to this snack bar from GE! So, ABSOLUTELY recommended! Absolutely! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐de Luxe!

Incredibly good food. Large portions and by far the best curry sauce ever. The gyro was delicious and not greasy. We've found a new favorite snack spot.

A great team at work. Professional order taking without having to write them down, despite the insane customer rush. SUPER NICE and great food. A real experience 💪🥳

So, I've been a customer of this snack bar for over 30 years and have never been disappointed. In my opinion, it's the best snack bar for miles around. And the portions are huge and the prices are great. I'm always happy to come and eat there.

Absolutely AMAZING!!! I've never eaten such a great gyro anywhere in my entire life! And the portions... "Little" is a completely foreign word here! The service and the chef himself are SO NICE! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you!

I highly recommend the Gyro Grill in Kray! The portions are generous and filling, and the flavor is simply outstanding. The meat is well-seasoned, the sides are fresh and tasty, and the fries are crispy. The value for money is excellent! However, you should be prepared to wait a little longer sometimes – the quality speaks for itself, and the crowds show how popular this place is. It's worth the patience! I'll definitely be back!

Highly recommended. The gyro always tastes the same, and that's what matters in the restaurant business.

Best gyros, best portions, and best value for money. We've been going there for years and have never had anything to complain about. Oh, maybe it's the long summer break. 😉

The best pizza place I know. I moved away a few years ago, and whenever I have the chance to eat there, I go.

The food was delicious. A good portion, but unfortunately, no card payments.

The store opens at 5 p.m., and by 4:50 p.m. there's already a huge line, and the store is already open, but there are no more gyros left. So, no gyro grill.

I've been coming here for years. I really enjoy the food, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair. The owners are really friendly and personable. For me, it's the best chip shop in all of Essen. Other customers seem to think so, too, as it can get crowded during peak hours and take a while to serve, but as we all know, nobody can do magic...

Very friendly staff, always happy to come back, very satisfied.

You should expect a bit of a wait, as it's always packed, as the food is delicious. The wait is definitely worth it... 5 stars plus :-)

It would be nice if the opening times in Google Maps also stated when the office is closed for company holidays. Let's see if it's open again on May 7th, 2025...

Always happy and full Very very friendly and attentive

Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. The service was very friendly.

I was there for the first time today Price performance is unbeatable and the taste of the food was also great Despite the stress and the busy shop, we found time for a nice conversation I'll be back! 👍🏿

So much meat in one pita. Others make a gyro plate out of it. Friendly and tasty. But it's a good thing, it'll take some time. ABSOLUTELY recommended

You can eat very well there. Owner very nice and accommodating

Simply the best gyros in town with a huge portion... Always very very friendly... The only drawback and that is complaining at a very high level... If you go there, you have to bring time with you, as many people want to eat this mega gyro

As always, very tasty and great service.

The Greek snack bar with Teutonic portions, amazing. If you're hungry and can eat well, this is the place for you. The food is always freshly prepared, everything snack lovers could want. It happens relatively quickly because the team works well together. It gets crowded quickly at lunchtime and it can take a while. There is space for around 10-12 people (max) at bar tables in the store. So the shop is another snack tip here in Essen, if you're in Kray or the surrounding area, stop by there. Parking isn't always easy in the middle of the residential area, but it's worth it. Clear recommendation... and not just from me

Nice owners, just great. Great food, everything is great. Best gyros in Essen, huge portions at great prices. First stop if you're hungry. Highly recommended.

The food is really great and the portions are really huge. The service is really great and you always get really good service.

Waited 55 minutes in the store and then this: the gyro meat was swimming in fat, the fries tasted unseasoned. Only the currywurst on the taxi plate tasted very good. Sauce was great, slightly spicy, just right for me. Large portions, but I couldn't eat it, except for the currywurst. I added salt to the fries at home. But even then it wasn't really tasty. Unfortunately the corresponding photos could not be posted

Taxi plate, super tasty and a huge portion. 👍

Best price best quality best service best taste only in Essen kray ☆MARIA☆

A snack bar that has been impressing with its good quality for many years. People like to eat here.

Very tasty gyros, mega portion of fries, price absolutely reasonable. It's just a shame that the store is so small - people really stood in line. Nevertheless, full marks, I'm happy to wait👍😁

I'm really excited. Big portions. You really can't complain about that. Gyros delicious. If we're in the area again, we'd love to come by again.

I give five stars. It always tastes very good and the owners are always super friendly.

Clean, tasty, friendly, mega portions, keep it up

Does anyone know if he still has vacation?

Huge portions and everything was very tasty

The best Greek I know, the price-performance ratio is top

Very 😋 tasty and you'll be full. The employees are very friendly

The food tastes damn tasty and you get a large portion for your money, so you'll be more than full. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The only negative is the ambience, which is why we always take our food home with us.

The largest and definitely the best portions and taste is indescribable... AWESOME ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5!

Very very tasty food. Friendly staff. It's just a snack bar

So tasty, super nice owners, great value for money 👍

Super tasty, hot and fresh, portions are very generous. Great coleslaw, delicious metaxa sauce, crispy fries, fluffy but not dry rice. Our new regular snack bar.

Great portions, always packed, but if you have the time it's worth it.

Went there for the first time on the recommendation of a friend and I'm thrilled with this store. The employees are very friendly and the Gyros Pita is really full and is so juicy that the juice is already dripping out of the aluminum foil. 😍😋 I'm definitely full and will definitely come back to try other things at least once a week is a must. Simply a tasty thing. 😍

Really good, juicy gyros 👍 Value for money 10 out of 10 and the staff are always very friendly. If you're looking for a snack with large portions at low prices, you've definitely come to the right place 👍

The best gyros I've ever eaten. Portions, especially for fries, are hard to manage for just one person 😉

We were there yesterday at 7:15 p.m.; Unfortunately there were no more gyros... We will try to convince ourselves again soon of the good other reviews. Update: Today we set out again to test the offer. It tasted delicious and the portions are huge! The reviews are correct, we are thrilled and will come back!

Goods were there about a week ago, of course. Closed for holidays. I don't understand why there's a notice on site, but here on Google it says it's open. It came especially from Gelsenkirchen and then...

Friday evening in Essen. Looking for a dinner that you can agree on, that could be quick and doesn't leave you poor. Actually it was just passable on the way and was well rated. The store was frighteningly crowded and there was no parking space. But the team is incredibly friendly, incredibly fast and has an incredible memory. It's a great experience to watch the three of them at work - you should actually come over with colleagues to show what perfectly coordinated teamwork looks like. There is really good Greek food with decent portions. My girlfriend likes to describe me as a hungry guy who, after eating, likes to wonder what could be next. Not here. Really very good food in decent portions. I think we can recommend everything. The coleslaw and gyros were outstanding. But we'll probably have to come back more often and eat the menu up and down again to be able to assess it better.

Very good, best gyros and huge portions! And very nice owners

I used to live nearby and ordered something there at least once a week! Went there again with my son (17) after a long time. The service is still as it was, simply top! The food was delicious as usual and huge portions. My son couldn't eat! Highly recommended for anyone who likes snack bars and is hungry! Hope it stays that way for a long time!

My family and I have been regular customers for a long time and that probably won't change in the future. The Gyros Grill is my absolute favorite snack. Anyone who has never ordered or eaten there is clearly missing out. The price-performance ratio is great, the food is always freshly prepared and the snack bar itself is always spotlessly clean. If you are in the area and are hungry, be sure to eat here.

Unfortunately there were no gyros left at 7:30 p.m. Found a delicious alternative and will definitely come back

Was great. Once upon a time there was Gyros Pita...but in the XXL version. The Frikandel Special without white was actually too much, but also delicious.

Great french fries place. Good portions at a fair price. Always my pleasure!

Best gyros, best service and best portions. No one else is better....👍.

We've been eating there for many years. You get a friendly welcome and everything is always delicious. I can only recommend.

Beste Currywurst, die ich je gegessen hab. Komm aus Nürnberg! Wenn ich in Essen ankomme, ist der erste Weg zu euch...klasse👍🙏👍

Super Essen. Preisleistung perfekt. Kann man nur empfehlen.

Wie immer super nett und vor allem lecker. Wer große Portionen mag ist hier richtig

Alles bestens. Portion ist reichlich!

Für mich ist das die beste Pommes Bude oder Gyrosstube überhaupt!!!! Die freundlichsten Mitarbeiter und das beste Gyros. Danke dafür!!! Liebe Grüße

Bester Griechischer Imbiss... Mit leckeren viel zu grossen Portionen.. Gyrosteller kann man sich teilen..!!!

Sehr sauberer Imbiss. Maria ist die gute Seele. Keine lange Wartezeit. Das Essen wird vor den Augen zubereitet. Die Menüs sind reichlich. Wenn ich wieder in Essen bin werde ich dort wieder bestellen.

Das Essen schmeckt gut, Preis-Leistung stimmt, das Personal ist immer freundlich

Leckerster Gyros im Ruhrgebiet und eine ordentliche Portion fürs Geld :)

Mega Portion Gyros. Eingelegte Zwiebeln sind super. Aber immer megavoll. Im Umkreis einer der besten.

Der beste und netteste grieche in der Umgebung. Portionen mehr als reichlich ,hier bekommt man noch was für sein Geld. Service ist immer super nett, egal wieviel Stress dort ist .

Als Ehemaliger Krayer seit langer Zeit dort wieder gegessen. Immer noch Top, wie ich es in Erinnerung hatte. Lecker und die Portionen für gute Esser gedacht. Meine Kinder waren auch begeistert von den Pommes und dem Gyros.

Außerordentlich gut. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis. Sehr freundlich.

Bester Grieche der Welt! Extrem lecker, super freundlicher Service gute Preise für tolle Qualität

Das beste Gyros - "mehr" geht nicht!

Riesige Portionen super lecker und die Inhaber sind super nett.

Richtig gutes Gyros Portionen schön gross jeder Zeit wieder. Ihr bräuchtet den drehspiess schneider er heisst der Gerät wurde bei tv total mal vorgestellt. Damit habt ihr viel weniger Arbeit. Sucht mal danach. Ihr seit die besten ich komme immer wieder zu euch. Bestes Gyros der Stadt

War seit Jaaaahhreen mal wieder dort ,hab Pommes Currywurst mitgenommen. So eine riesen Portion hätte ich nicht erwartet. Dazu noch mega lecker. Der etwas längere Anfahrtsweg hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Ein 5 Sterne +++++++ Imbiss

Immer lecker und die Besitzer sind freundlich.

Immer sehr freundlich, Portionen immer sehr groß, Geschmack immer sehr gut, Preis absolut angenehm und angemessen.

Die teilweise langen Wartezeiten werden mit sehr gutem Essen belohnt! Wie weiterhin Top-Qualität zu moderaten Preisen angeboten werden kann ist vorbildlich! Meine Anerkennung!

Super Gyros , super freundliches Personal, riesige Portionen

Der beste Griechische Imbiss den es gibt. Immer gute Laune man fühlt sich dort wohl große Portionen da kann wirklich kein Mensch meckern das er für sein Geld nichts bekommt. Und die beste Metaxa Soße die ich jemals gegessen habe.

Sehr sauber, nette Inhaberin. Das Gyros war erstklassig. Große Portionen. Preis Leistung stimmt hier.

Das ist der beste Gyros Imbiss, den wir kennen. Hier bekommt man ordentlich was für sein Geld. Die Portionen, sind so groß, das ist wahnsinn. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut. Auch das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Das einzige blöde sind vor Ort die Parkplätze. Da muss man schon Glück haben.

Sehr lecker. Preis/Leistung ok. Sehr nettes Personal.

Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut, die Portionen sind riesig, die Preise sind gut. Die Mitarbeiter stehen mit Herz und Seele hinter dem Restaurant und das merkt man. Die Besitzer sind extrem freundlich zu allen Kunden und zaubern jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht!

Geilster Gyros und mehr als großzügige Portionen. Deswegen ist es dort immer voll. Schade dass man nicht anrufen und zum Abholen vorbestellen kann. Trotzdem kommen wir immer wieder :D

Super Preis Leistungsverhältnis

Hohe Qualität und riesen Portionen. Seit Jahren der Grill Nr. 1 in Kray

Gyros pita Mega lecker und für den Preis sehr üppig. Danke 🤩

Gyros pita geholt und es also wirklich super 😋. Wir kommen wieder

Das Essen war wie immer sehr lecker und auch sehr ausreichend fast schon zu viel.

Bestes Gyros ever! Ich kenne den Laden schon sehr lange und es war und ist einfach der beste Grieche weit und breit. Das Souflaki ist mega lecker, sehr zart und einfach gut!

Ein wirklich gut besuchter Gyros Grill. Der Leither Gyros Grill ist in der Umgebung der Beste. Es ist total lecker 😋 egal was man bestellt. Dadurch weil er so lecker ist, ist es oft vor Ort sehr voll und Wartezeiten dem entsprechend lang. Aber trotzdem nimmt man die Wartezeit in Kauf.

Freundliche Bedienung und gutes Gyros.

Sehr nette freundliche Mitarbeiter. Trotz der imens gestiegenden Energiekosten, Rohstoffpreise sind die Kosten nur moderat gestiegen. Die Portionen sind mehr als ausreichend. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Da die Qualität, die Preise und Portionen super sind sollte man vorbestellen oder Zeit haben.

Essen wie immer super und reichlich. Preis Leistungsverhältnis geht nicht besser. Immer wieder gerne
