Gyro Kabob (soon to be known “California Greek”)
Sunset Beach, Calif.–Delicious,  fresh food created at an exciting eatery called, “Gyro Kabob” (soon to known as, “California Greek”) is our best bet this week for affordable dining in Orange County. Once you taste their shakes and meals, you’ll abandon nearby fast food Greek restaurants and head straight to the door of this Sunset Beach sensation.

The scrumptious gyros created by Telly, Deanna, Alanah and Andrew Ntzouras are just part of the fun at the quaint eatery they started operating a few months ago. (They also serve Angus burgers, Date Shakes and much more.)

“We love people,” explained the family mother, Deanna. “Knowing that we’re serving good, healthy, fresh food cooked to order means a lot to us.”

“We cook kronos (beef & lamb) on a spit making it taste leaner and more flavorful,” said the former schoolteacher. “We also use soy bean oil.”

Son Andrew said, “Nothing is processed, “we cook everything after you order it.”

No wonder the restaurant, which also does catering, has a steady group of “regulars.” “We often know what they want when they come through the door,” Andrew said.

One such customer, named “Mark,” came in to get his Angus beef cheeseburger. “It’s delicious and the family are all good people. That’s a winning combination for me,” Mark said.

You won’t find a friendlier family restaurant anywhere. They learned their style from Andrew’s grandma, Helen Kotinos, who immigrated from Greece in the 1960s and ran a South Gate restaurant for 30 years. They’re California Greeks who enjoy what they do and you will too!
