Lilly Gyros

We had the gyro plate and a chicken schawrma and the flavors were real good, except for the tomatoes. The fries were perfectly cooked. Definitely want to come back and try other things!

I love getting gyros at Lilly’s. They are priced right and so delicious! The owners are very friendly and run an excellent restaurant! This is the place to go for authentic Greek food. I highly recommend you try Lilly’s gyros! You will enjoy it!

I absolutely have no idea how this place is rated with 4.5 stars! I had the chicken swarma plate which came with rice and a salad. The salad was wilted and tasteless but at least it was edible… unlike the chicken! The chicken wasn’t fresh at all! It tasted as if it had sat in a fridge for several days then reheated. I loathe reheated chicken and am very sensitive to the taste so this dish was horrible! The rice was dry and just tasted cheap! I was really excited to try this place too. I will not be going back!!!

One word… GROSS! A huge heap of greasy mystery meat with no seasoning. My husband got the «delux» and it was so bad he couldn’t eat it. I got the only vegetarian option and it was a dry piece of bread with some iceburg letruce and a few falafel balls. I got extra sauce, which costs extra, and it didn’t add much flavor. Service was as bad as the food. I’ve had takeout from here before with equally disappointing results. Save your money… and don’t believe the hype!

Before any plate is served at any restaurant you care to visit, you form an involuntary opinion of your chosen establishments customer service. Lily grill has always made me feel above and beyond welcome in their tiny eatery. I love that, and I can appreciate how hard that must be to maintain day after day.
The food is always more than generous in proportion to the price, especially the Gyros. The Tzatziki is just right. And I love the Baklava. I often purchase and leave, so the small space of the old taco bell does not affect me.
Bottom line, if you like Gyros, and want to feel at home in a small mom and pop eatery, then do yourself the favor of a visit.

The best kept secret for gyros! These are the best gyros around and the owners are so friendly. I am never disappointed!

I ordered a chicken gyro my first time here, and it was fall apart delicious! Very friendly, family owned business. Looking forward to coming back soon to try a beef gyro!

We had did a carry out here tonight at lilly’s! We have been planning to come here for sometime but always been thrown off by the location. And of course don’t let the location throw you off! We just ordered the lamb gyro and it was pretty good. There’s not many gyro places in the area so it’s nice to see Lilly’s here. I personally thought the gyro was a little bit on the salty side to eat just by itself. But with the pita it goes perfect! Love the tanziki sauce! Wish they grilled the onions and gave more onions and tomatoes. But on the brighter side they were very generous with the meat! So I’m not complaining too much. We will be back to try other goodies!

Great small restaurant to get your gyro fix! The gyros come in 6″, 7″ or 9″. Beware the 9″ is pretty big and you probably won’t need a side item.
The lady taking your order is really nice and cordial. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would come back if around area

Beware! Prices Hiked last week with no update to their laminated menu prices. Was not given refund of cost differential.

It is what it is: AWESOME! Best gyros I’ve on his continent (20 year military vet, I’ve lived in Europe/​travelled extensively)
It’s an old Taco Bell converted into a gyro stand. Nothing more. The gyros are amazing (see above). The Shawarma is outstanding too. The tsatsiki is delicious. The food takes more time than I was used to in Europe but by no means overly slow. They are busy because they’ve earned it. Just go, your tongue will thank you.

I ordered the Italian Beef and it was excellent! Tasted as good as the Italian Beef’s I’ve had in Chicago. Also got mushrooms as an appetizer. They were good but maybe just a tad overdone.
Baklava for desert was especially flaky and sweet.
I’d definitely come back for more if I’m ever in the area again.

Wonderful!
It’s in the old Taco Bell building on 50 in Fairview. Which is kinda small, but it’s all good.
Let’s get to the food! I had the standard Gyros and fries. The Gyros meat was so tender and juicy. Add the tomatoes and yogurt sauce on the pita… it was really really really good! Especially for the price, it really exceeded my expectations.
My only negative is I wish they had more selection of Greek food but I understand a lot of people may not order moussaka or grape leaf dolmas…
Go!!! It’s worth it! It so hard to find a place to eat in Fairview that isn’t a chain!!!

We love Lilly’s! Their food is always fresh, hot and delicious. We have treated family members when they come in from out of town, and are looking for that special flare and something different.
I’ll admit I usually get the same thing everytime (gyros lunch special), but why ruin a good thing. Their spinach pie is great and the greek salad is filling and flavorful.
I can’t say enough great things about this spot. The food, atmosphere and employees are all great and treat you with respect. If you’re in the area and looking for a great lunch or dinner consider them, you’ll be happy you did!

Small little restaurant. great food friendly staff. the lamb shank was very flavorful. but i gotta warn you guys if u are gonna order it order side salad with it. lol it was pure meat with no vegetable comes with it. i ended up ordering side salad seperately and the guy said if it was less than 5 bucks we need to pay with cash but he still let me pay with the card which was nice. salad was very fresh, could be the freshest i’ve had in awhile. it was a bit cold inside just keep that in mind. hubby’s gyro was awesome. will definitely go back!!!

Don’t come close to time of closing or menu us limited because they run out of meat baklava & everything. Family run and nice. Great flavorful meats. It’s craveable and prices aren’t bad. I’d go here before a box chain on the main strip.

Even the bad reviews for Lilly’s are a 3… The lamb meat here has as much flavor as I have tasted in a gyro in years. The service is wonderful and the portions are more then enough. This is my new Gyro Destination with out question. Now the concerns of our other fellow Unilocalers. I to feel that a couple more flavor additives to the lamb gyro’s would put this place over the top (Feta or Olives or even Lettuce). I purchased the platter and I was able to apply my own tzatziki sauce to taste, but my wife however with just purchasing a gyro it was already made for her and had alot of sauce. She still needed to use some of mine because she loves the sauce, but I could see that it might’ve been to much for other patrons. I feel the sauce is a little Americanized, but still tasty. They are obviously hanging their hat on how much depth of flavor they have achieved with the lamb meat.
I am sorry to anyone else that enjoy Greek flavors other then the lamb. I ALWAYS get the lamb. I was hooked on the street food of Souda Bay, Greece where they even have french fries embedded in the gyro. This is the closest I have found in years.
Oh And They Need A Much Larger Sign Installed Out Front.

Love getting gyros from Lilly’s. My dad delivers their mail so growing up time to time he’d bring home gyros for dinner as a treat. The gyros are to die for.
So every time I have a dentist appointment next door I make sure to schedule it around my lunch break or late afternoon so I can stop by Lilly’s to get a delicious gyro!
$ 7.49 Lunch Special — gyro sandwich, small fries and a drink. Can’t beat it!

Extremely good food. I have enjoyed their Gyro’s several times. Their prices are average.
