Tried the lamb Yeeros and it was extremely tasty. The ingredients from the pita bread to the salad inside were nice and fresh with nicely balanced tzatziki and this other special sauce that they put in there.
This was right up there amongst the best gyros place that I have tasted with the only downer being extra charge for sauces.
The yeeros plate ($24) was massive, can definitely feed two if you're not super hungry. It came with all three meat options (lamb, beef and chicken), pita bread, greek salad and hand cut chips. The chips were so good, i think it gets refried twice for that extra crunchy oily exterior, my favourite meat was the beef because it was the most fatty cut, the lamb was a close second and I didn't really care for the chicken. All in all, the plate is very familiar if you've ever had a kebab so i honestly can't tell you what makes it 'greek' but tasty food nonethless!

The top end of Illawarra Rd used to be a lot less busy than it is now. The old fruit shops are slowly closing, new apartments are getting built. All change. We feel like we've been banging on about these areas changing a lot lately, but it seems to be increasing not flatlining. . One constant along the strip is The Yeeros Shop, opened in 1976 when the Jets were still in the main league and 'Play That Funky Music' played at the Marrickville RSL disco down the road.
We had heard a lot about this place so went for a drive to see what the fuss was about. I ordered the mixed Yeeros plate with only chicken meat and hubbie had beef yeeros.
The plate came with salad, hand cut chips and Tzatziki. So yum. The dip was chunky but it was the chips, oh those chips that made it. Hand cut, crunchy perfection and just perfect to dip in the sauce. Hubbie said his beef yeeros was great too. Yum really enjoyed it here. No fuss good traditional good. Will be back.
So the food here is not the most photogenic. If Zeus St Greek was Karlie Kloss this place would be Steve Buscemi. Now that we got that out of the way I have to say the food wasn't too bad. They give you pretty generous portions (about twice the size of a Zeus St yeeros) here. I got the chicken one and it was pretty tasty - not blown away but still tasty. I would have liked it to be piping hot when I got into but that's just me nit picking. Solid food here though and the place gives off that humble, family-run, old world fast food shop vibe. Not as good as Gyros Fix near concord but better than Zeus.
Great, cheap food! Seriously not much more to ask from a yeeros shop. It's not quite the same as a gyrus in Greece, pf course, but at that price with that big of a dose and that flavour... I loved it!! Plenty of seating available and very friendly staff. Definitely a go to!
Small chips and a lamb yiros, soooo delicious. I think I've found a place better than Yiro Yiro. It was reasonable price and the lamb was juicy. I would definitely come back here for a feed and to catch up with friends.
We were in the Marrickville area to meet up with a friend to go and grab yeeros. He was already a keen fan of kebabs so we thought we’d try something different. The crowd waiting to buy at the counter was a good sign so we lined up anxiously. The menu was a very simple one to understand so we made our decision quickly. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. It had that “family-run-business” feel to it.
I have been coming here for over 15 years, they have the best chips in Sydney. I usually alternate between ordering a chicken burger and some lamb to take home, and I hardly have any complaints.

Nothing says late night feed better than a Kebab/ Gyros. The stuff of legend, the go to for many generations of late night goers.
In this place we have one of the first and original operators of Sydney and arguably one of the best. Meat is always super tender with no shortage of sauces or salads to boot
My photos aren’t great but the food was absolutely amazing. I left satisfied and happy.
If you ever go make sure to get the chips. They are life changing!
I also quite liked the drink, very different and nice.
Some of the most delicious yeeros I have ever had. Staff are always friendly and generous with portions. Been coming here for 12 or so years, always worth it
