If you’re craving real Turkish shawarma, this place is worth checking out. The chicken and beef gyros are fresh, flavorful, and wrapped in soft lavash. I tried the gyro combo that comes with fries and a drink, and the portion was more than enough.
They also have burgers if you’re in the mood for something different. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and everything felt freshly made. Don’t skip dessert. They have Turkish baklava and other sweets that are really good.
Overall, solid food, good service, and a place I’d definitely come back to.

Had lunch. Folks working were very nice and accommodating. Fast service. Combo meal for a cheeseburger was somewhere in the neighborhood of $17 plus tip.
Ample seating.
The fries were crisp(ish) but completely unseasoned. The burger was decent size but there was oil or butter all over the top bun which made eating it extremely messy. I took the bun off and ate the burger and toppings only. The actual patty is definitely frozen and resembled a Costco frozen patty. The cheddar cheese was pretty good. Drinks are cans or bottles, no fountain drinks.
Overall, very “mid” experience. Service was great. Food was not great. I really wanted to love this, but had trouble with the patty.
Decor is not bad. Well lit.

Gyro itself tastes good and fresh. But it’s kinda dry, especially the chicken gyro. Fries are thick (see pictures). Staff are all very nice and everything is clean. If you are from Europe craving a good kebab/döner as you know it, this is not it!

Staff is friendly and the service is good. The food tastes okay, but it’s not close to authentic Turkish or European döner. It feels more like American-style shawarma. Traditional Turkish wraps are usually loaded with meat, which wasn’t the case here.

I ordered a chicken doner combo, and it was delicious. The fries were fresh and delicious as well. They even offered complimentary baklava, which was a very nice thought. The staff were extremely polite and friendly, and we were warmly welcomed. I will definitely come back again.

Absolutely delightful beef gyro! The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. It was honestly one of the best gyros I’ve had in a long time. The place itself was very clean, service was incredibly friendly. What I really appreciated was that I didn’t ever feel rushed, which I often do in other fast food restaurants. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try!

I will admit that my husband and I kind of came in bickering with each other when this place was kind of slow. I don’t know if they picked up on it, but they were still very friendly. It was cold outside and we were hangry. I had been wanting to try this place months since I saw the sign on the door before they opened. I love Turkish food, so I’m happy Winston-Salem has a Turkish restaurant. The place is super cute inside. We both got the chicken gyro and it was awesome. The red sauce was amazing and we loved everything about it. It cured my bad mood and I will definitely be back! Also, it was definitely more food than I was expecting! They hooked us up with lots of sauces and they were awesome. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the beef lame gyro combo and it arrived promptly and the gyro was oh so good! The fresh cut fries were crisp on the outside and tender inside. The tzaziki sauce was great! The service was wonderful and we will definitely be back, with friends and family!

“If you’re looking for authenticity, this is it. The beef gyro is savory and tender, but the homemade bread is what sets this place apart. It’s more of a fresh wrap than a heavy pita, which lets the flavors of the meat and toppings really shine. My friend’s chicken gyro was equally delicious. A must-visit!

This was the best doner I’ve ever tried! Everything was amazing — the doner, the burgers, the variety of fresh salads, and the sauces. They also have real Turkish baklava, which was delicious. This place is definitely a must-try.
Especially the red sauce and tzatziki inside the doner were incredible!
