GOOD REVIEWS

“It was delicious!! One of the better gyro kits we have tried! It fed me and my husband and my 10 year old. We still have a little left over .”

“Air fry the slices – crisps them up nicely!”

“Suggestion: add some lemon juice to the tzatziki. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it!!”

“It’s tasty! Please note a lot of fat comes off when you heat the meat in a pan”

“We live 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours away from 2 Costco’s. So when I go, it’s for a big haul, I now always grab 1 of these kits for a super easy, yummy dinner when we get home! Who wants to cook after unloading a big haul 

“We really like these. Pretty good, super quick and super easy.”

“Got this in Bloomingdale, IL and we LOVE it. Fed my family of 4!!”

“We love this- picked it up today as well!!!!”

“Whoever said to air fry the meat was absolutely correct”

“This is so so good I swear !”

‘I love the gyro kit!! Delicious!!”

We like it too!!”

“The gyro kit is so awesome. Had everything plus more. It fed my family of 3. We were not extremely full and yet not as hungry. It was just right. Sorry, I didn’t take a photo of the kit lol we literally finished it like nothing. The gyro wasn’t so salty compares to when I order it from a restaurant. It was perfect. Costco in Foster city, CA.”

Yes it was tasty- we got one yesterday”

“Yep. It’s pretty darn good!”

“We got the gyro kit this week and went back two days late for another.

Very good quality gyro meat!

I am hoping they keep this kit around. AH Michigan”

“We liked but the meat seemed greasier than normal when we heated it !”

“Better than most kabob shops…”

“I buy this all the time freezes great”

“We had it tonight, very good and reasonable price”

“The Gyro kit is a hit with us.”

“We just had it the other day – hubby was traveling home later than I like to cook, so it was perfect.

I’m just not a fan of their taziki sauce, but we almost always have the TJ one on hand.

I do wish it had more tomato/cucumbers but I just cut up more… and opened some olives.”

“This kit was really good!”

“Went to Costco today and found a gyro kit and it didn’t disappoint!!! The meat was lamb and very tender and tasty! Put the meat in the air fryer for six min, turning once and threw the pita’s in to just heat up!!! I’d give it a solid 9!!”

“Good in the freezer! Dorothy”

” It was amazing 

“I buy this regularly. Can easily get 3 meals out of it”

“Tried for the first time last week and really liked it! It’s always nice when they add something new to the prepared foods.”

“They are really good.”

“YES! Saw it first time today and tried it… it was good!”

“Love this. Bought it twice so far. Central California 

“A review of the gyro kit: It comes with 6 pita, chopped onions, bell pepper, cucumbers, and tomatoes, 2 tzatziki sauce, lettuce, and loads of lamb/gyro meat. It make several meals for me and my husband. Pretty tasty and not too salty. Would buy again.”

“We loved it!!”

“We had these for Easter dinner and loved them. Easy to fix and delicious. Would buy them again.”

“They were good! And we’ll buy them again but it was only one meal for us. I ate two and my husband ate four as he runs for work all day and eats a larger dinner but still delish and fresh with all the veggies!!”

“It’s a good kit! Picked one up last week and was not disappointed!”

“This kit is amazing! Only thing I didn’t care for was the tzatziki sauce, it was bland.”

“I had that this week I thought it was really good. Will buy again”

‘We tried these this week and love them. Nearly as good as from the gyro shop down the road but much cheaper. Lettuce could be chopped a little smaller and tzatziki a bit thinner, however we’ll definitely be buying these again.”

‘I bought this over the weekend and it didn’t disappoint. added some pepperocinis and olives and these were 

“Very good, would buy again!”

“I just bought a kit this weekend in Chicago area…we loved them for easy football snacks!!”

“Well I bought the Gyro Kit and I have to say it was well worth the money! We were three people and there is enough for three more. I had invited my mother for dinner and it fed her my husband and myself. It was very easy to make and cleanup was a breeze. I highly recommend it if your in the mood for Gyros.”

“Gyro kit was a big hit!

“It was soooo gooood”

“We’ve had it – pleasantly surprised – it was good! Sautéed the meat in a frying pan to heat it up before making the gyro”

“So freaking yummy. Loved it. Wish they had more of the Tzatziki sauce though.”

“We just had this on Sunday and enjoyed it. Sautéed the meat, warmed the pita in the oven, added some extra cukes, and jazzed up the tzatziki with some salt, lemon juice, and a little water to loosen it up. All-in-all, we’d definitely buy it again 

“I enjoyed it”

“Good, wish it had more pitas and veggies. The tzatziki sauce is very thick like a paste but tasty.”

“I just got it this weekend. I thought the meat had way more grease then I would have expected. It was good though…I agree with other posters about the tzatziki sauce.”

“Very pleased with it. Got it 2 weeks ago. Will buy again”

“Delicious 

“My husband, and I liked it a lot. 

“We liked it but thought the pita bread was so-so.”

“We had these last weekend. Delicious (NJ). 

“Tastes great, Tzatziki sauce could use more flavor, but the meat is seasoned nicely. $19.99 by me, with 6 pitas. Lightly brown the meat is a skillet, it really brings out the flavor.”

“We love it! Nice fast dinner”

“Very good. Meat has great flavor’

“Recommended 100000000% soooo good! And I HATE lamb..”

“I’ve had this before and it is delicious! Warm the meat up in a skillet and heat the bread up.”

“Just bought this yesterday tried today good but need tomatoes and more onion”

“These are amazingly good!’

“My 11&12 yr old kids love this too!”

“Overall I’d give it a 4/5 stars. Only because tomatoes,cucumbers and red onion were soggy. I ended up just cutting up my own. I’d buy it again for a quick meal. I’d just make sure to check the date and quality of the fresh ingredients. Thankfully I had some on hand.”

“My fiancé and I really enjoyed it!”

“I liked it. Meat is greasy. But a delicious greasy. Lol”

“I bought this yesterday and we had for dinner and we thoroughly loved it!”

“My family likes them”

“SOOOOO delicious!!!!! Big seller!!! Glad they had a few left!!”

“It was tasty! Meat heats up super quickly and it’s more flavorful than it looks.”

Review!

We loved it! Our fam (2 adults, 2 littles) got 2 dinners out of it. Great price, and we thought the meat was delicious.

We utilized some naan bread for the kiddos since costco pack comes with 6, but there is plenty of meat.

Recommend having some hummus/ babaghanouj & Kalamata olives on hand if you happen to make it to the grocery store.”

“The Costco Gyro kit is awesome and would definitely buy it again.”

“I liked it. But I had to quickly microwave the pita like 15 seconds will do it just do I could bend the bread without it breaking in half.”

“The gyro meal kits from Costco are the real deal!

Not like being in Napflio, but 2nd best.

Treat yourself!”

BAD REVIEWS

“We were not a big fan of this. Lack of flavor, greasy and pitas not very fresh when packaged like this.”

“We just had it for dinner. We really liked them and tasted like the real thing. There’s just the two of us so we’ve got leftovers for tomorrow. I will buy it again if it’s still offered.”

“Bland and boring”

“I bought it once but I won’t buy it again !”

“It was just ok for us. Meat quite greasy. I think we felt like the whole thing was kind of bland. 

“We were not a fan at all.”

“A bit dry. I would not recommend it:(“

“Didnt care for it”

“We were not a fan. Found the meat and sauce lacked flavor, vegetables were mealy and pitas were hard.”

“I tried this for dinner last night and it was decent. I hate to say it but Sams club has a much better tasting gyro kit than Costco. Sam’s gyro meat has more flavor and the tzatziki sauce was also better. The Costco kit definitely needs more Feta cheese in it. Costco’s gyro kit does comes with a lot of gyro meat and other side stuff.”

“We tried these and didn’t care for them much. The meat is some combo of beef and lamb and just tasted strange, they did have a lot of flavor and the taziki sauce was good.”

“While it was a quick meal to prepare, my family rated it just ok. The meat was extremely greasy, pitas were stale even after warming and lettuce was turning brown. The meat flavor was lacking. Although the price was very reasonable, I will spend the extra and continue to get gyros from a local Greek restaurant.”
