Cyprus Grill of Phoenix

Ordered the Pork Souvlaki and Greek Fries and was not disappointed. Big thick chunks of pork with tons of fresh vegetables wrapped in an above average pita. The Greek Fries were very good, covered in seasoning and feta, but a little over soaked in whatever salad dressing was poured on them. All in all a good meal that was a bit more on the healthy side, though it was priced as a healthy option.

Unilocal hours show open today until 10 pm. It is 8:55pm and closed. Door says they close at 8:30.
Sure wish I could have tried their food.
Went back and closed on Sat. Lein sign on door to not paying rent. Sorry to hear this.

Today marks my second time visiting Cyprus Grill. I must admit I was a fan after my first visit. The first time I thought I’d stick with the basis and ordered the gyro. I told the really nice lady behind the counter this was my first visit and she insist I try the Greek Fries. man I’m glad I did! Portion are just right, perfect about every everything. I really, really like the fact that the gyros are made with roasted beef and lamb. Yumm!
Today for lunch I tried the chicken soulaki with a side greek salad. Just as yummy. I couldnt finish the entire meal the first time, the chicken and salad obviously was a lot lighter. Filled me up without feeling stuffed or hanging leftovers.
I’m a fan!

I love Cyprus Grill, we order for the whole salon at least once a month.
Greek fries good stuff

Met Scott D. for lunch a few weeks ago. I also don’t remember the last time I had a gyro. We have a place in Greensboro that specializes in gyros, but it has been years. The last time I had one was 15+ years ago. So Cyprus Grill was a great change of pace or something new essentially.
We sat on the patio. Patios are awesome in general. While this one is small, it fits the place perfectly and worked for us. Cool shopping center too.
I also got the gyro. It was large and filling. They didn’t skimp on the goods. It came with a small salad and they didn’t skimp here either. You get a lot for the price. This was around $ 8 or so.
This place is simple and I think that is why I like it. While I can’t speak for the surrounding area and what they have to offer, I can say that this place is legit and worth checking out. If you are looking for a gyro at a decent price, stop here.

I can’t believe that it’s been almost four years since I’ve been to Cyprus Grill. I recently visited for lunch and they still have the same great tasting food.
I love eating outside on their patio. It’s a perfect place to enjoy a casual meal. The pricing is fair, especially when you consider the location of this restaurant.
I tried the Gyro for the first time with this visit and thought it was outstanding. They give you plenty of food and I would have to say that was the tastiest Gyro I have had in a long time.

I have been here before but I just had the most wonderful experience here.
The service was really fast and the waitress Amethyst was so nice and friendly.
I love to have Sriracha on my gyro and this place nailed it. I ate the pesto fries and a gyro with Sriracha and it’s exactly what I was looking for.
Price: 20 bucks got two gyros and pesto fries. Me and tony are like kings. We sat down but it was fast enough to get it to go.

Cyprus Grill is a good stop-​off for a yummy Greek lunch. The spot delivers solid gyros, chicken, and lamb pitas, lemony, feta-​y Greek fries, big salads with fresh ingredients, and acceptable avgolemono (chicken lemon rice soup). Their pitas are great — soft and fluffy. But nothing on the menu is stand-​out. I’d recommend it for a quick and satisfying weekday lunch at reasonable prices, but wouldn’t suggest it for any of your more serious meal pursuits.

My friend took me here for lunch last week and I quite enjoyed my gyro pita with greek fries. It was derishious! I’ve thankfully had the real deal when we were in Athens years and years ago and this was fairly close. I do wish the gyro had a tiny bit more Tzatziki though. The greek fries (or they might have been a slightly different take on their specials menu) had feta cheese, which is my absolutel favorite next to parmesan, lemon squeezed over it, and oregano. Mmmm mmmm goooooood!
The service was speedy and they were accommodating despite it being during the busy lunch rush on a weekday.

Cyprus Grill is quick, easy, and consistent. They are located in the plaza next to Trader Joes and it is always my go-​to spot when I want mediterranean and something quick. You order with the cashier and you wait for your food — close to the same concept as Sauce. I’ve had their gyros, salads, and chicken and they are tasty. Of course, plenty of parking (except maybe around lunch time because everyone seems to be around there during that time).

The misses is a Trader Joe’s nut so we’re all up in Town & Country bizznaz weekly. So there we were Sunday night in great need of sustenance. We had a choice between the new Grassroots place & this one. I saw the sign out front for their special that night, a feta burger. The lady said fine with me, I’ve had their chicken souvlaki & it was good. Alas we have found refuge on this long day of errands & chores.
To take the edge off I ordered a sangria. It was fine. The prices were very affordable so I didn’t expect anything heavenly. Just honest food for an honest price.
The food came & looked fine. I took a bite of the burger & it was very dry. I had a few fries which were good. After seeing the Misses dissect her chicken souvlaki & placing a piece of undercooked chicken on the spare plate between us I noticed something was just not right here. I opened the bun on my burger. What I saw was fresh lettuce, tomato & a mediocre bun… but it was the burger took me back in time to when I was in 3^rd grade in the cafeteria sitting next to my buddy Jimmy. It was about half a centimeter thin & could potentially have many uses as a coaster, a mini Frisbee, an eye patch, heat shield tiles on the next shuttle to Mars, skeet shooting — altho I recommend a 12 gauge to take this thing down.
The misses noticed the dazed look on my face and says, «Honey?»
“Yeah Jimmy, what’s up?” I reply.
She gave me that look & I snapped back into reality but was still in disbelief at this burger patty. I ate 2 bites & left it dismantled. I finished my fries & her charred chicken. The raw portion of her chicken ruined it for her. She ate her rice & salad, which were good.
The server was very nice & I told her what I thought of the food. I think this was the first place I’ve ever complained about the food at a restaurant, I just never go back. This meal was… just very insulting. I am not an 8 year old kid anymore!
In hindsight I thought, maybe I was partially to blame ordering a burger at a Mediterranean joint but c’mon, it was the special that night!
The server seemed surprised when I showed her the brown disc. She informed me they ran out of fresh ground beef so I got a frozen one. Shame. I truly hope the next time this happens they just 86 their special & not serve garbage. I’ve had a better burger at a hospital at 3am.
We will not be back.
Ps. Jimmy, I miss you bro :(

I shop almost weekly at Trader Joes and had never noticed that next door was a Greek restaurant. I’m not sure how I passed it each time but i’m happy to have finally found it! I came here with my book club and was able to quickly find a table that would fit our group. We ordered drinks and appetizers right away. For apps we had the hummus platter and the greek fries. The hummus was very good but I couldn’t keep my hands off the Greek firies. They were delicious. A mixture of fries, cheese, spices, and a sprinkling of lemon. All the flavors were perfect and I couldn’t stop popping them in my mouth.
For dinner I had the Gyro with a side greek salad for dinner. I nearly licked my plate clean. One of the better Gyros I’ve had since moving to Phoenix and the salad was perfect. My group had a mixture of different things but the salads stuck out the most to me. They had very generous portions amd everyone seemed to be very happy with how they tasted.
It only lost a star from me because the service was pretty slow. Lucky we were enjoying our conversation that we didn’t mind waiting around, but if you’re in a hurry be warned. They definitely take their time here.
Overall it’s a great little restaurant! There’s plenty of outdoor seating and the prices are very reasonable. I can’t wait to go back!

I have to say, since I wrote my last review in late 2011, Cyprus Grill has made significant improvements to their service and consistency. We stopped in the other day for lunch on the way to do some shopping, and it was busy, but not crazy. It was too chilly to sit on the patio, but we found a seat with plenty of natural light. Our server was extremely polite and cheerful; she didn’t hover, nor was she difficult to find when we needed her. The atmosphere was simple and relaxed, and they had a few TVs on (muted).
We split an appetizer of Greek fries — which are a MUST order, and an excellent hangover delicacy — and since we weren’t heading straight home, we also asked if we could split a chicken souvlaki dinner. The waitress didn’t miss a beat, and the entrée — Greek salad with lots of delightful feta, dirty rice with herbs and carrots, tzatziki, and a single kabob each — came out neatly plated separately. We asked her to hold the pita because my hubby is on a strict GF diet.
I was pleasantly surprised to see no split plate charge when I got the bill, so I tipped them a couple of extra bucks. Before tip, two soft drinks, Greek fries, and entrée came to $ 23. Not bad — but if the Middle Eastern Bakery is open down the street, that’ll still be my #1.

I’ve had a gyro hankerin’ for months and Cyprus Grill did not disappoint. In fact, I was so pumped about it that I went into work and shared the good news and one of my co-​workers ended up going on their lunch break.
I went in around 1pm on a weekday and ordered a gyro pita with fries. There were a few other customers at the time and I ended up waiting less than 10 minutes for my order. Not bad. After I placed my order I regretted not getting greek fries, but when my food came I was not disappointed. The fries were excellent how they were and both them and my gyro were fresh. Next time I may get a side of tzatziki only because I like my food a little saucier than it came, but I have no complaints.
There was one girl working behind the counter taking orders and when I waited I noticed that she must also clean the dining room. Since it was after the lunch rush, there were a few tables that needed to be bussed but she was still busy with orders. It would have been nice if she had some extra help.
Thanks fellow Unilocalers for coming through on this one. I work in the Town & Country area, but because I don’t pass this part of the mall I would have never realized that it was here.

My wife and I came here for lunch. This is a great place if you want to eat healthy. It is located in the Town & Country Shopping Center. I haven’t been to the Town & Country Shopping Center in 15 –20 years.
We were greeted by our waitress Rachel. She took our beverage order and allowed us time to look over the menu. We decided to start off our meal with an appetizer of Spinach and Artichoke dip. It was outstanding.
For our entrée I got the chicken Souvlaki Dinner /​kebab plate, which came with a generous amount of tender and flavorful chicken breast on two skewers. It was served with rice, pita bread and a Greek salad. The salad consisted of chopped cucumbers and tomatoes with a generous amount of feta cheese. I also got a side of dolmades. The grilled chicken was moist, and tender. I was able to cut it with a fork. It was surprisingly good. In fact it was much better than some Mediterranean restaurants I’ve tried. The Dolmades were excellent. Plus the Tzatziki sauce was superb.
My wife Carol got the Pork Souvlaki Dinner /​kebab. It also came with a Greek salad, rice and pita bread, which she enjoyed. I tried some of the pork and it was delicious. Tender pieces of pork on a skewer marinated and grilled to perfection. Both dishes had lots of flavor.
FOOD: The food is deeeelicious AMAZING delicious. When I say «amazing». I definitely mean it. PRICE: Very reasonable. You get a lot of food for the price. SERVICE: The service was superb. AMBIANCE: Low key, nothing fancy, but comfortable. CONUSION: If you’re looking for a fancy restaurant with fancy service… then forget it. If you are looking for amazing Middle Eastern food and absolutely friendly service… welcome home. What a wonderful experience. RETURN FACTOR: 100%
************************* What does my OVERALL rating mean?*************************
5 stars –Highly recommended. I would be willing to drive out of my way to this business. It is that good. This place represents their industry or cuisine very well!
4 stars — Highly Recommended. I would frequent this business.
3 stars — Not that good but not that bad. Just average. I wouldn’t mind going again if a friend or family member wanted to go.
2 stars — I would not recommend this establishment to friends or family.
1 stars — DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT patronize this business. I would RUN AWAY from this place and you should too! DON’T WAST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

It was a little difficult to find, tucked into a shopping center. Look for Trader Joes — it’s nearby.
The spinach and artichoke dip is AMAZING! I think the best I’ve ever had! I got the lamb gyro — I wish I had gotten the falafel though.

I’ve eaten here a couple of times and the service has always been friendly and the food quite good. My only suggestion for them would be to make the falafel less dense; other than that, I have no complaints. This is a good place to go for a nice and fast Mediterranean-​style meal.

This has quickly become one of my fave places to stop in for a bite when I don’t feel like cooking… or when I get off a plane and have no groceries at home. The calamari wasn’t too bad, and I like their spanakopita. The spinach artichoke dip isn’t my favorite appetizer here… I’d say choose one of the others. My fave dish is the basa fish with rice and a side Greek salad. Yum! I like it so much that I’ve started buying basa fish at the store and cooking it at home.
There’s outdoor seating with sun shades for the afternoon sun.
Service can be a little slow at times, though the folks are nice. Parking is a royal pain right now due to the construction of the new Whole Foods at the other end of the parking lot.

How many bites does it take to get to the lamb filled center of a gyros-​pop?
I’d say one, cause if you can’t find gyros on the first bite, there’s probably something wrong with your order ;-) … are you sure you didn’t order the chicken?
And you thought I was going to say something deep and meaningful, you obviously don’t know me that well.
Cypress Grill is my favorite place for a gyros in Central Phoenix. There’s a handful of them around (gyros spots that is), but if you’re looking for a gyros and within a few miles of this place, I’d say skip all the rest. I’ve tried at least five or so spots that serve em nearby. You’ll spend a couple bucks more here than at the other places, with a gyro running you about $ 8, but I’m happy to conclude that Cypress is my favorite gyro in town.
The hummus here is good, so is the spanikopita and dolmades. For those of you who are carb counting, you can get your gyros in a salad too. I’ve done that a few times myself. All in all a solid choice for medditeranean dining — one of the better spots in the area.
Happy Unilocaling Phoenix!

I’m a fan of this place. Fantastic lunch option if you’re on a bit of a health kick, and one of the best value takeaways you’re going to find.
My friend Sage introduced me to this place a while ago, and I seriously need to return soon.
The Wait staff were really on the ball, friendly and personable. We were never left waiting but at the same time no intrusion into conversation.
Go and enjoy! :-)
