    5. Lamb Over Rice Platter
    Icel C.

    Excellent Mediterranean food! Love that they stay open late. Lots of flavor and very fresh. Good portions. Good came out very fast. The spicy red sauce and cream gave it the extra boost of flavor.

    I was pleasantly surprised! What a great meal.

    What a great meal! I was really pleasantly surprised. They are in a shopping strip. Lamb is their main meat, it was prepared deliciously and you are given many choices. Very nice establishment, friendly customer service.

    I ordered a gyro meat platter and a chicken and gyro meat platter to dine in with my two little kids. The portions are huge, one single platter was enough for the three of us. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The chicken was a bit on the dry side and the gyro meat was diced very small instead of being shaved off how it normally is served at most other places. They also charge you for any sauces to go. Overall it was a very good place

    Chicken and lamb combo

    Just left this place and was delighted to meet the duo working this Sunday and how cool they were. I wasn't familiar with their setup and menu so it tiok me a few blinks to decide. Leonardo who was running the register was patient and friendly and a good sense of humour his side kick Jose (i believe, sorry I am not sure) is as jolly as he is. They work as a great team! The food was good and we are pleased how big thr platter and size of the gyro. My son and hubby enjoyed their lamb gyro while i settle for the platter and it surrly hit the spot. It reminds me of my grandma's home cooked meal during our visits to Pireaus, Greece. The tziki sauce is perfect not too sour, just perfect! I accidentally said yes to rhe veggie that was too spicy for me due to the pepper chinis but it was delicious. Clears up the palette. I took home baclava and tiramisu for desert Give them a chance if you haven't tried them

    Gyro King deserves their crown. They serve quality, fresh food in large proportions. The food comes out fast whether dine-in or to-go. Also make sure to try the tzatziki sauce here bc I love dousing my food in it - it's too good. (Can't comment on the red sauce bc I ain't a spice gal). Regardless of what dish you choose, they never skimp on the food. My boyfriend always gets the combo over rice and I get the gyro chicken fries. We always devour through it. I normally place my orders to-go over the phone. I never have any issue placing my order and it's always ready by the time I get there (in ~10 min). Gyro King is so much better than Halal Guys. Y'all are seasoning your meat perfectly!

    My mom LOVES this place! We stop here on our way back from an errand we run this way all the time. She orders the Lamb Platter and I order the Lamb Salad. The salad is interesting cause it has jalapeños and pickles in it. I've never eaten a salad like that til I ate here! My mouth is on fire! lol but I've gotten used to it. The service is excellent! We usually take it to go and they fulfill our order pretty quickly. I think we've only eaten here once. They have a good dining area but it's hardly ever too packed. I recommend this place!

    Just around $10 for a hearty plate of deliciousness.
    Marie B.

    Generous portions, yummy food, good prices... A big bang for your buck. You can get a huge plate for just around $10. Everything tastes fresh & is well seasoned. Fries are crispy & not oily, meats have bold flavors without being too exotic, spicy items have just the right touch of heat - - balanced & not offensive to the palette. Service is quick; it's practically fast food. Awesome choice, if you're a fan of Mediterranean and Halal food.

    I really enjoyed my visit here and the food portions were extremely generous. I ordered the lamb/gyro on a bed of salad instead of rice. I got to choose my veggies that I wanted to add to the salad. The meat was tender and very flavorful and I got lots of it. In the end, it's topped with some white sauce and red hot sauce. We also got the chicken over rice combo. Chicken. Was good too but not my choice. They have medsandwiches also I plan to return here soon.

    Great atmosphere! The vibe is very relaxing with healthy foods! You have a choice of healthy Mediterranean food! I usually get the Gyro wrap chicken but tonight I got chicken over rice ( hot red sauce on the side) so delicious! Customer service is amazing. The wait time is no longer than 10 mins depending on item. And parking is easy breezy.

All dinners come with a Greek garlic bread starter. I love their iced tea- fresh brewed and always good! The wine is Greek and seems a small bit pricey, but for the extra dollar or two it's worth it- Very delicious. Anything you get at Athena's is amazing so feel free to branch out on your choice. And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too! Say hello to Maria when you go, she loves to talk to her clients!

Their Impossible kubideh in particular genuinely surprised me - in the best way. I don't usually gravitate toward meat substitutes at all, and I've tried making kubideh and ghormeh sabzi at home. It just never comes close to this. It's not often I find restaurants where the vegetarian options don't feel like an afterthought, but Kasra absolutely gets it right.

Established back in 1977, this Greek café has grown from a humble walk‑up window into a full‑fledged neighborhood institution, beloved for its hearty Mediterranean comfort food and lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere. The Montrose location stays bustling from lunch through late night, drawing in everyone from families to night‑owls to longtime regulars who've been coming here for decades. What keeps people returning is simple: the food hits. Diners consistently praise the authentic Greek flavors, especially the gyro plates -- a blend of beef and lamb shaved from the spit, tucked into warm, fresh pita, and finished with cool, garlicky tzatziki. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and the pricing stays reasonable, making it one of the best value spots in the neighborhood. Your gyro arrives stacked, your fries come hot, and your plate feels like it was built by someone who actually wants you to leave full. The menu is huge, but the classics shine brightest. The Greek salad is crisp and refreshing, loaded with feta, olives, tomatoes, and their famous dressing. Service here is fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of counter‑style operation where the staff keeps things moving without losing the warmth that makes the place feel welcoming. Guests frequently mention how upbeat and helpful the team is, even during rush hours. The vibe is lively but never chaotic: families grabbing dinner, couples sharing mezze plates, and regulars chatting with staff like old friends. It's casual, energetic, and unmistakably Montrose. One thing that sets Niko Niko's apart is its deep Houston history. The Fetokakis family has run the restaurant for nearly half a century, maintaining a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality that helped the café earn multiple Houston Press awards over the years -- from Best Pork Chops to Best Family‑Owned Restaurant. Even as the city has changed around it, Niko Niko's has stayed true to its roots: hearty food, Greek hospitality, and a community‑driven spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick gyro, sitting down for a full spread, or stopping by for dessert after a night out, Niko Niko's delivers exactly what a neighborhood staple should: great food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the experience feels like Houston -- diverse, warm, and full of character. If you're in Montrose and craving Greek comfort done right, this spot remains one of the city's most reliable pleasures.

Will they open another establishment similar in the future is completely unknown. Istanbul Grill will be missed and was the oldest Turkish restaurant still standing. The lamb kebab skewers were so delicious, well-seasoned, juicy, not gamy and had that charcoal / charbroiled aroma to them, which all kabobs are really supposed to have like TX Bbq is to smokiness taste. The rice was really fresh like the meat in its own right with a buttery flavor to it. The salad was tangy and refreshing. Some other Turkish restaurants might make some dishes good, but never execute the lamb adana entree right, due to heat source n lack of seasoning. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Some places tend to not give a damn about many customers when they're about to close, but this place was always on point. Best of luck to the people running it and their staff.
