Yummies & Gyros Greek Restaurant

The best Greek food in the comox valley, hands down. The food is spectacular - the tzatziki and hummus are amazing, and you get generous portions with lots of fresh veggies.

Atmosphere is cozy with a wood stove for ambience and colourful, original decor. The owner and staff are personable and attentive, and the business is very community minded.

They even have bulk take home options so you can construct a meal at home or when camping, and seniors meals for lighter appetites.

So good, I think I've tried every gyro/donair spot on the island and nowhere is as good as here! Really fresh veggies and quality beef and lamb. A big thick fluffy pita wrap - and none of those thin strips of microwaved beef I'm used to! I haven't had a gyros this good since I lived in vancouver. I'll be sure to stop by again so the family can give it a try too. Thanks for such a satisfying lunch, it makes me happy I live in Courtenay!

Excellent food. Really good prices. Drive through is convenient. Courtney is a more appealing visit thanks to the great food here. Keep it up!

So so place. There are better options in the valley. Owner is pretty grumpy most of the time, huge staff turnover says it all.

The owner is lovely but works at here own pace. I used to think that her gyros and donairs were excellent but the last time I was in iwas very disappointed. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed my meal but it used to be amazing and now very pedestrian. The protein seemed to be of lesser quality and sauces had less punch.

As I entered the establishment and in no less than 20 seconds the owner hit me over the head with a metal bat and set me on fire

Family had been wanting to try Yummies and Gyros so we stopped in. Service was quick, portions were generous and we snagged the only outside table- which was nice. Enjoyed ourselves!

My favourite local establishment for donair & gyros! Food is always tasty and consistent. Definitely a must-try.

Really good food. Fair pricing, large portions. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. Drive-thu is really nice as well.

We are from Campbell River and come to Courtenay often, we wanted to change up our lunch options and I'm so glad we gave Yummies a try! The portions were incredibly generous, we were shocked by the amount for the prices. I wish we took a photo, but dove right in. Staff was super friendly, will absolutely be back.

Best food and experience I've had in a while. Amazing customer service and great with kids. Look forward to going back soon.

Food Review: 1X chicken and 1x beef/lamb.

Essentially what you receive are two large “taco” style pita wraps, in parchment paper and then wrapped in tinfoil. I think the biggest overall issue here stems right from the beginning: the style of delivery. There is no ‘wrap’ whatsoever, and all the ingredients and sauce constantly fall out of the top, front and back.

The tomatoes and beef/lamb are cut much too large and the chicken and beef/lamb were underwhelming. The chicken is particularly disappointing. When I think Greek chicken I think olive oil marinated chicken oozing with flavour, spice, and lemon. Unfortunately here we have dry, tasteless, pulled chicken.

I don’t mean to be harsh or critical but this is very disappointing food. Having moved here from Vancouver this town is missing a Shawarma place desperately but unfortunately - Yummies & Gyros doesn’t fit the bill. I recognize that this is Greek, and not Lebanese, Turkish, or Iranian, but at the end of the day, I just want a good chicken wrap. I won’t be back

Meat is cooked authentic on a vertical spit, and a to-go window for those rushed days! Beef & lamb gyro, add hot sauce and sweet sauce together and ooooooohhh myyyy goooodness. So convenient, good for your soul food.

I will never understand how this place is rated so highly. Midgrade food quality, the prices are unusually high for the amount and presentation ($1.50 extra for hummus), and above all else, this is the most white washed restaurant I've ever experienced in my life. Not a single Greek individual in sight, owned and operated by a white woman (though she seemed nice). Zero authenticity

Absolutely the best easy going people many options to add to your gyros or donair must try in the Valley!

First time to try the restaurant, we bought a mix of gyros and donair, the tatziki sauce needs a little bit more flavour, the pita bread is not good, the texture is just like a regular slice white bread, chicken has no flavour, beef and lamb is just ok.

The decor is cute. As for the food, you mostly get what you pay for. It's pretty cheap, so you get the same kind of ingredients. The meats and tzatziki could both use more attention in the seasoning and flavouring department. I'd prefer if the Greek salad dressing was the classic olive oil, lemon juice and oregano with Kalamata instead of canned black olives and pre-fab Renée's dressing. $1.50 is pretty steep for a small amount of crumbled feta, I was expecting a pretty thick slice of feta for that price.

Edit: Knocked down another star for the owner's poor attitude towards an unfavourable review. Instead of wanting to address the concerns and tweak a few things, they decided to have a childish response. Unprofessional.

Excellent food! Ordered a bunch for a retirement celebration at work and everyone was so pleased with their meals! Thank you so much!

So delicious! The lady that runs this is really nice and the service is top-notch. Did I mention delicious? Also locally owned small business - the heart of our community.

I couldn't ask for a better place to eat a donair. My absolute favourite place to eat when I'm traveling through Courtney for the past 10 years. If i lived in Courtney I'd eat there 2 or 3 times a week. I honestly don't even know the prices because i don't care, I have never been left without being completely satisfied and happy.

Best Donairs on the Island! Highly recommend, so delicious and never disappointing. Bring your appetite as portions are generous, but reasonably priced. Support Local!

It says they close at 5pm but at 355pm they wont answer the phone to place an order or allow orders through skip the dishes! Very disappointed and would only recommend if you want to eat dinner at 3pm

Ordered 2 donairs & they arrived in a garbage bag from Y&G.paid $5 extra for some extra item on my donair and I got 3 olives in total.yikes. Won't be coming back here.younis donair is definitely the way to go if you want good meat and BIG portion!

Nice place good service but if a greek came here they would be insulted the chicken in a gyro is meant to be roasted over a fire, grill or BBQ BURSTING WITH TENDER FLAVOUR NOT BOILED! Worst greek imitation i have been to.
But if they fixed this one issue i believe the restaurant could be a nice place to stop in on.

Eww, who makes gyros with boiled chicken. Pretty blend. Not sure how it is rated 4.3
Noted later that you can some more veggies; I would be glad to do that, and pay extra for it, but neither that wasn’t mentioned on the menu board, nor told when ordering.

Delicious gyros! They have 2 sauces, one sweet and the regular tzatsiki sauce. Their coffee is also delicious!

Took my 16 year old Son for his first time here today. He say's to me. "What the F! Why haven't you ever thaken me here before? " I just smiled and said "It's now "Our" Secret place"
You definitely have a New Huge Fan/Client!

Delicious. Looking for a small place to just enjoy some good Greek food? This is it. Never disappointed coming here. Staff are always super pleasant and personable. They have a variety of meats for your food, and it is always nice to see a gyros place serve some lamb and beef on a spit.

Was alright. Only comes with lettuce, onion and tomato. Have to pay a dollar for cucumber, olives ect adding up to over 10$. Pricey for what you get. Delicious anyways but I suggest going to the donair truck on cliffe ave. Same price but fully loaded!
Lady was really nice but seemed incredibly defensive towards any suggestions. Can see as well in any bad review here. Oh well. Worth a taste anyways!:)

The falafel was old and had only lettuce, tomato and onion w/ tzatziki. When i asked about pickled turnip or tabouleh, i was told i dont know what i talk about. I was so hungty and first time in the area, so i tried to eat it, but i gave up after half. The ow er/lady in charge was defensive and rude.

Very good and tasty food, clean, friendly staff, not fancy but a nice place for an economical lunch

It was ok I've had better in the past. Way to much sauce not much meat.
I'll try it one More Time.
