A small little trailer of yumminess right outside of Don Quijote. My absolute go to spot when I'm craving Gyros. Owner is really nice and his Gyros are worth trying! Highly recommended!

My go to place whenever I want a gyro! Hands down the best on the island. I always grab one after grocery shopping at Don Quijote. The service is warm and staff are always accommodating.

I met this family long time ago. * (beginning back in 2004) * Greet People husband and wife and their family work very hard for their business. I am very glad they still continue doing very well. * their food is made with their passion and with love and sweat. I'm so glad I returned to the island. Able enjoy their food wherever I can. PS : love your Moussaka plate, it's delicious . Wish you guys take credit card.

Leo’s has some of the BEST gyros in Honolulu. Their Greek fries are the bomb- crispy with some delicious garlic salt seasoning on them. The baklava is AMAZING too. Plates are huge. It’s like two meals for the price of one. Food is always made fresh. No complaints.

For anyone that has anything negative to say about this place and food are out of their minds. The food was great and service was impeccable. I like the fact that he makes it possible for people to view how he makes in a professional manner. It is in a great location as well. I dropped the food so don’t let the photos make you think too hard.

The best tasting Mediterranean food I had in a long time. For the cost and the test of the food, this place can't be beaten. We ate there twice during our three days stay in Oahu. The bread is amazingly soft, tasty and is cooked after the order is placed.

Great choice for a healthy meal! I've shared a review of this place before and now I am writing an updated review, not just to talk about the place but to talk about the food! I just got the Roast Eggplant plate! It sounded good so I thought I would give it a try! And oh yeah it's awesome! Vegan friendly! It tastes just like homemade! Not too salty and very flavorful! The garlic! The tomatoes! The peppers! They said the Roast Eggplant is their specialty! And at a good price too! Come check it out! They are open every day and definitely worth it!

I really like owner Leo and his Menu. Classic Americanized Greek food. All prepared in a little 10x10 kiosk located right across from a general store called Don Quixote. Prices are fair. Food quality is what you would expect at a "make it fresh" eatery. At under 8, the Gyro Sandwich is worth the stop. I would guess that to be the reason he's been there for 10 years.
