Little Zeus

First time here after I saw someone had posted that this place is a hidden gem,,,,thanks. Prices are reasonable and you’re away from tourists and majority of patrons are workers from the nearby businesses. There was live music, my wife said Thursdays (Summer) only and she found it on Facebook. My wife said only place better was the “Mad Greek”, I had to throw that in since she’s picky. Great atmosphere.

They do a great job here. I’ve had the burgers, which are very good. But the gyros are excellent - much better than I expected from such a small shop. Their fries are very good as well. Very friendly service. Expect to spend $10 for a nice lunch - less if you opt for one of their specials. The outdoor patio at the food center here is awesome. We enjoy having lunch here at a shady table on a warm summer day. There are plenty of other options here too - Indian, Mexican, sushi, salads, etc.

I first started coming here in 2012 when I worked in Carlsbad. As of April I started working in this area again and I come over here once every week or two. I remembered the tasty chicken and gyro plates but I have only had the gyros plate since April. I can only get there after 2pm but the gyros have been great with a nice amount of gyro meat in the plate. When you do the math, it makes more sense to buy the plates. It's a lot of food for one sitting but the gyros and rice heats up well later. You get a nice salad too. For just over $9 with tax, splitting this into 2 meals once a week makes it a bargain. The salad has a good amount of feta cheese on it and the rice has a lot of flavor. The woman that dishes up the food after 2pm is really nice and the place is not crowded at that time. Parking is easy too as is getting seats inside or out to eat.

I really love this restaurant. Although it's out of the way and kinda hidden, it's really a Carlsbad gem. The food is great, and the service is fast. I do wish they were open a little later. So many times I've wanted to stop by after work but cant because they close so early. It would be a good business decision to stay open for dinner. I also wish a lot of their dishes came WITH fries and a drink. It's a bit offputting that you have to add them in for a separate charge. They should include the price and just make combo options. Anyway, this place is good if you're in Carlsbad during lunch.

this place is close to my work so I go there often. The food is fresh and generous definitely a better deal than any other place in the food court. Their vegetarian platter and half chicken platters are humongous. The gyro combo is a good deal for $8. If you are in the area check them out. The owners are super nice and friendly.

The number one most important thing for a successful restaurant is consistency. You cannot serve a gyros wrap with close to 5 oz of meat one time and less than 2oz another time. That cook of yours needs to be trained better on portion size. You can't just let him wing it depending on his mood. You have him to thank for losing my business.
