Alex's Gyro and Cheesesteaks

Located at 7310 E Colonial Drive in the bustling East Orlando corridor, Alex's Gyro and Cheesesteaks is a halal‑certified eatery that blends classic Philadelphia cheesesteak flavor with Mediterranean gyro tradition. The menu highlights a juicy steak‑filled Philly sub drizzled with melted provolone, a tender chicken sub, a veggie‑packed Philly option, and a crisp falafel wrap served with tahini sauce. For burger lovers, the house‑made cheese burger features a seasoned patty, caramelized onions, and a slice of sharp cheddar. All proteins are sourced halal, and the kitchen prides itself on using fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and locally baked rolls. The interior combines neon signage with a casual, family‑friendly layout: bright walls, wooden tables, and an open kitchen where staff grill the meats to order. Diners can enjoy fast‑casual service for take‑out or delivery, with online ordering available through the restaurant’s website. Opening hours run from 11:00 am to 8:30 pm Monday through Saturday; the restaurant is closed on Sundays. Prices range from $8 for a falafel wrap to $12 for a full cheesesteak, making it an affordable spot for students, airport travelers, and locals alike. The location sits near the intersection of Colonial Drive and SR 417, a short drive from Orlando International Airport and the University of Central Florida, providing convenient access for visitors exploring the city’s east side. Friendly staff often recommend the signature “Cheesesteak Gyro” – a hybrid sandwich that layers steak, gyro meat, and onions for a unique taste experience. Whether you’re craving a hearty sub or a light falafel, Alex's delivers flavorful, halal‑compliant meals in a relaxed setting.
