The food here is literally amazing. my favorite lunch spot in Portland. The Salmon Plate is EVERYTHING. I love the vibe and the people. I feel healthier when I leave. Gastro Mania is the place to go if you want a delicious, healthy, and satisfying lunch option. :D

The brisket sandwich was delicious! The meat was tender and juicy, and the bun was warm with the perfect amount of toasting on the crispy edges. Wonderful for a lunch on the go.Parking: I walked from a local business. Parking with all the break-ins and construction would have been untenable.

The best fish tacos in Portland, and that burrito with saffron rice and perfectly cooked chicken is just tooooo good, will definitely go back and try other times.

I read several reviews that this place was amazing so I had to try it. I'm not sure if I caught them on an off day, but the food is nothing spectacular. I actually found their chicken mixture on the chicken plate to be too overwhelming with flavor and not as much meat. The mix had a lot of onions in it. The plate itself was good in terms of the pita, hummus, salad and saffron rice. Overall, I was disappointed based on the reviews I had read. It is very small on the inside, so seating is limited. The staff were all kind and welcoming.

Wow this place is a hidden gem! Tucked away in some regular living building without any other store around you need to want to go here or live around! Either way it's just a short walk from the neighborhood stores like new season market. And if you like this style of Mediterranean food you are wanna go here! First you need to be hungry cause the portions size is decent even me was happy not ordered an appetizer. Second you should be a "meat" lover - or better protein lover since they do seafood as well. In a regular gyro you normally find at least 70% filler - meaning Salat, tomatoes and sauces and then the rest is protein. And that is fine since that is one of the reasons the Mediterranean kitchen is so healthy a good measure of the healthy stuff. But here at Gastro Mania they have 60% protein (in my case I ordered lamb&pork gyro) and then some salat with a good tzatziki and aioli to give it some spice. Also they make the head and grill the meat portion fresh so it is really hot when you get the gyro (which I really appreciate- hot food tastes better!). I had a small side salad (fresh and crispy) which added an extra USD so I ended up $13 before tip. There is a menu picture on yelp where it says $7 those times are long gone. But I think at the time of the review March 2024 $12 for this gyro is fair. I will surely be a regular even when I do not live in this part of the town any longer - but know I know it's here!

My chicken gyro was so burnt it tasted awful. I don't mind a little char but my chicken was mostly black.

Small deli. Awesome tender octopus and pork lamb gyro ??
Great menu, dishes are executed very well, staff is always courteous and efficient. Everything you could ask for from your local neighborhood gem. Excellent area to walk around in and discover boutiques, hit the library,
Service is fast. Food was very affordable. The plate of food was large well balanced and a pleasant experience to eat.

Such tasty food! These are the small businesses I love to support. Authentic & wholesome. I got the lamb & pork plate. It is a good size serving. With fresh homemade hummus, some pita bread (idk if they make it in house but it’s amazing), saffron rice, feta, a mixed green salad with tomatoes, onion, and a sort of mustardy dressing (I assume the dressing is homemade too, it’s delicious). That plate is $14 & can definitely be two meals. I appreciate they were open during this crazy snow/ice storm we’ve had over the past week. 10/10 recommend coming here.

They have raised prices by 20-25%. Food is still good, but the pricing is so out of control. It’s no longer a reasonable place.
