JAYNA GYRO Emeryville

Mediocre overpriced Gyros at this food court stand. Good service. Small wait time for food. Bustling food court environment. Not recommended. I went here craving a lamb gyro. Orders the beef and lamb as is. It came out pretty quickly but I wasn’t so pleased with the presentation, sort of like an open-faced sandwich. I think it’s challenging to season the cut of meat used in gyro unless the meat is minced. This meat was chipped and didn’t have a ton of flavor, nor the best texture. Also, the bread was cold— it broke as I was eating it. That’s in addition to it being pita bread and not lavash as listed on the menu.

Jayna Gyro is inside one of the best 'food courts' in the Bay Area. The food was really tasty and fresh. I had the Gyro: The pita was soft, ingredients were piled high so I used a fork to get it manageable enough to then eat holding the pita. Their version of fries (more like potato pieces) were delish...garlic & feta. Wife really liked the falafel wrap. My only knock's were things likely out of there control: 1) the prices have gone way up in. In 2021 price for the Gyro was $10 and in 2025 it's $15.50...but to be fair most of the places in the food court were $15-$20 for a meal; and 2) the table we were at was 'sticky', like it was 'cleaned' with wet rag that hadn't been washed in days. We tried another table, same result. These are large shared tables that the whole food court u

I went to check out Jayna Gyro in Emeryville because I love Tarla’s in Napa, CA. Jayna Gyro is located in The Public Market which has a common food hall/court. Public parking was free and easy to find a spot. There are a variety of cuisine options. Nestled amongst them all is Jayna Gyro. It was quiet when I arrived and I did not have to wait in line. I ordered the Beef & Lamb Gyro. The gyro was beautiful and snuggled up inside the box. I love the idea that there is something for everyone at this local spot!

The ingredients were fresh. But I asked for no olives as I hate them. Still had tons. Paid $23 for a shredded lettuce salad, with beef/lamb. It has no beef it was all lamb and gross. Probably considered authentic. But not at all what I was expecting when listed as (beef/lamb)

This place is right inside the food court. However, the food was 10/10. Super delicious. The meats were tender and juicy. The kunefe is to die for. I totally recommend this place 100%.
