Gyros Salwa Road It’s the worst restaurant in the world Ops sorry second worst restaurant in the world first one is a street food stall in Kathmandu.
"Authentic Greek food" I Don’t thinks so Mr.
There are not one Greek working in that place,
Frozen meats According to staff
Not even the Greek salad is Greek
Management wakeup we are not stupide.

Greek or not, service is horrible and I just wrote off this place off my list. I never expected to be served by Greek staff there.

We just stopped by for the last time yesterday and that would be the last time for us or anyone we know. The manager had his extended Lebanese family there, a party of almost 12 people and pretty much ignored everyone else. We were there for almost an hour and not a single one of their customers walked out pleased. It felt that you were an uninvited guest in someone else's house -there were strollers all over the place, kids crawling on the floor and screaming - not the ideal atmosphere to have a meal with your family.

Worse yet, they were having an outrageous amount of food and pretty much everyone in the store didn't exist; it took 30 minutes for us to get just gyros sandwiches and the table next to us were debating if they should cancel their order to take it to go. I felt bad for the staff as they were doing their best but getting yelled at by the manager for the tinniest reason, trying their best to please his party. My gyros sandwich was completely uncooked and I had to send it back. It took forever to even get the check and we were just glad to get out of there. It will be the last time we ever think of Mr. Gyros as a possible place for lunch.

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and I rarely give a bad review, but the experience was so bad that this is warranted, may be it will save someone else some agony.

For the record, the first couple of times we were there things were not so bad. But when you see this kind of bad management and the little regard they have for their customers, you know that things are heading south.

My friend I'm a regular guess of this restaurant and I found it one of the best restaurant in doha , they serve all fresh food and fresh meat as per the waiter and the manager they called their restaurant mr gyros based on the famous gyros or Greek shawerma and they told me also that they buy the cone of gyros frozen from USA chicago that why its frozen . But I saw the sign also and it's written American Greek , it's not only Greek , and also they have very nice BBQ . Before you start talking bla bla bla on line about good restaurant read the concept on there website or all on line and social media or ask the manager about the concept and judge the rest , it's my best restaurant so as a lot of customers as I saw them on Facebook twitters Instagram and much more social media I disagree with you .

the worst is when you go sushi and some pinoy ends up cutting your fish in the most horrible shapes and forms and then the bill comes as if you are dining at a top Las Vegas real sushi bar!

I kinda a recall another post against this restaurant in the past. A good warning no doubt and will surely keep it in mind. Had to smile at it being second worst to some street stall. With a review like this I'll surely be keeping my distance from the place!

Restaurant shocker in Qatar. Japanese restaurant doesn't have Japanese chefs. British Cafe doesn't have British chefs!

It has nothing to do with Greek food. I was a victim of them once before. I actually stopped with my gf and asked them if this was a Greek restaurant and they waiter told me "yes sir" .. i went in and realized it has nothing to do with Greek except of its name on the sign board. They Lied to me and I know about Greek food because I am half Greek..

I am not sure why they allow people name their restaurants anything they want and ruin reputation of cultural foods world-wide..

Shame on the owner of this place!
