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.

Rita N.

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.

Carolina S.

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

Kat L.

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!

Karina N.

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.

Yasser H.

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.

Meagen M.

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.

I ate here about 8 months ago. I want to talk about 2 things, the customer service and the food. First, the customer service was very good. It is what you expect from a Texas business. I have been to over 30 states and ate at many restaurants across the country. One thing that stands true is that Texans have the best customer service and manners. Second, the food. It was good. I love eating gyros, especially, lamb. I have a soft spot for lamb. The gyro was very good. It one of the best I've tried. I have been to Greece before and gyros here are better than in Greece. Fun fact, to have an authentic gyro (according to Greeks) you can only have it with chicken or pork. Lamb is not considered authentic in Greece. Yeah, but I will have mine with lamb anyway. Like I said, I have a soft spot for lamb. read more

Came In today for a meal with my family , Cameron customer service was exceptional. Before coming in , I wanted to make sure they were allowing Dine in. As well when we were there I asked again , since we didn't see nobody sitting and he didn't hesitate to answer again. He explained what was one the platter and asked if there was anything that we didn't want on it. If we wanted the sauces on it or on the aside, which was very nice of him to ask to ensure we would be pleased with our order. The food it self was delicious, and was presented very well. Even though I forgot to take a picture before I dived into my food haha. But definitely will come back for more. Look forward for the other locations to open up.

If I could give no stars I would. I just went into this location for the first time (new to the area) and asked the guy at the register to please ensure there are no tomatoes (I carry an epi pen) they put tomatoes on my order and when I said something he tells me he will give me a refund "I don't want no issues with you". He continued to tell me not to come back. I asked him his name as advised by the police officers in the restaurant and, he ask me why and said; " I'm not telling you anything". read more

Gyro King is a really cool and clean place to eat. The food was ok...just ok... And the service girl was really nice. However, the food taste nothing like the pictures suggested. (Which is the only reason I tried this place) When I got there me and my BF were so excited because YELP had hyped us up. Ok so Boom!!! I got a falafel platter and my BF had a lamb gyro and a chicken gyro. Then we ordered the gyro fries (the picture looked so good we just had to get em) so we get home I sit down and just know this food about to be FIRE. I bite into everything and... nothing... no sparks no flavor. I was so disappointed and hurt because it's not cheap AT ALL! my hard earned money wasted. Like I said the food looks AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is amazing. But the food is just ok. If you looking for a flavor bomb don't eat here. If you trying to have a cool day and you wanna be fancy or eat light eat here. read more

I dig this place, a lot.. But for Cripes sake it's "year-o" not "Gy-ro" your employees sound beyond uneducated saying guy-ro, it's not a gyroscope it's a gyro. The lamb is tender, fresh, and every one else has stated the pita is very fresh and pillow soft. Wish they had some hot sauce or the standard garlic yoghurt sauce available, no clue why they only stock catsup packets but okay. Loved the lemon water too; just when you ask for water careful they may try to charge you for a bottled one. And best yet they deliver. My gripes are minimal, just up the sauce game and this place would be 5 stars. Kudos and well done. read more

If you're a falafel lover, this place is a must-try!…read more Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service was genuinely kind from start to finish. I enjoyed my meal so much that I came back for another round of the lamb gyro platter--it was that good! One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Sam, the owner and chef, who personally stopped by our table. He generously treated us to some Basbousa and extra falafels to try, which made the experience feel even more special. The jalapeño mozzarella falafel was delicious and a fun twist on a classic, but it's hard to beat the original falafel--crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and perfectly fresh. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for fresh Mediterranean cuisine made with heart, I highly recommend giving this place a try. We'll definitely be back!

Seating was ok; not very convenient - mostly bench style on one side with chairs on the other, and a few narrow booths. Ordered Shrimp Tempura, Mozzarella Sticks, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and Spicy Cauliflower for appetizers, followed by Lamb Gyro/Chicken Shawarma; Beef Gyro/Chicken Taouk; Tabbouleh Salad with Lentil Soup; Falafel Burger with Lentil Soup; and bottled Yogurt drinks and Lemonade. Food arrived quickly but all at the same time - despite requesting the server to make sure the appetizers came first followed by the entrees. When notified, two servers basically informed us that they were not the cooks and that the latter was making everything together and sending them out as they were made! Ridiculous...soon our table was filled with plates of food, with little room to maneuver! Food was okay; nothing to write home about. Have had much better at lower prices. Quantity of Hummus was quite small for the price charged. Bread was not fresh and was served lukewarm. While we were still at the table eating our meal, the whole place began shutting down even though ocean closing time and cleaners started swabbing the floors around us - so our meal ended with the lovely aroma of floor cleaning liquid! Ah what an end to a memorable evening - crazy! The whole meal set us back $210 including an undisclosed service charge already built in - not informed about this at all until asked. Not planning to return as nothing impressed much and cost was reactively high.

As no foreigner to Indo/Pak Cuisine, I had my mind set to try a Beef Boti Roll (mild) on "Paratha" bread - a toasty flaky flat bread housing several large chunks of savory beef marinated in Pakistani spices, diced onion and cucumber with a hint of ketchup and two sauce containers of a basalmic dressing and a thinner mint yogurt sauce to dip or our. This roll is also available and freshly made Naan. This roll is about 8" long. Everything is cooked to order - every order taking about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare. If you are in a hurry, make sure that you order ahead. I also want to add that they make a limited amount of marinated beef for boti and only had one order left enough for me to be able to try it. Stop in and sit to enjoy the experience.

It's quick, priced appropriately, and no frills perfection.

I ordered two chicken shawarmas and a falafel, and as always, everything was made fresh to order. The chicken is tender, the falafel is crisp, and their garlic and spicy sauces are excellent--definitely ask for extra because they make the meal. The couple who owns the restaurant cooks and takes orders themselves, and you can taste the care in the food. The interior isn't aesthetically pleasing at all, but honestly, the quality of the food makes up for it. Prices have gone up recently, but that's expected in this economy, and the portions and freshness still make it worth it. If you're looking for great Mediterranean food without the frills, Fyza delivers.

This is the case with Lama Mediterranean Cuisine in The Woodlands. My wife had a doctor's appointment at 2 pm and we live about 35 miles away, I figured go early and get some lunch and then get to the doctor with a full stomach. We put the address into the GPS and pulled right up in front of the restaurant. While it was nice weather outside, we decided to sit indoors and I am glad we did because I noticed some diners outdoors were batting away insects. Our server, Abraham came quickly and took our drink orders while we studied the menu and admired the beautifully decorated interior of the restaurant. Blue is a strong color they have used effectively, there is a large dinging room for a big group just off the main dining room and a bar at the far west end. We ordered some appetizers and they came out quickly, We had a small order (4 pieces) of the Fried Hallumi Cheese and also Kebbeh. Both came with a small sampling of cucumber, tomato and red onion which paired well. The Kebbeh had the most fragrant seasoning, I believe a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and clove. The serving sizes were ample and after trying some we both agreed to save room for the entrees we ordered, my wife had the Gyro Sandwich and I had the Chicken Shawerma, both were wrapped in a super fresh pita that had to be house made. My wife had the regular fries and I had sweet potato which were cooked perfectly, so light and crisp. We couldn't resist ordering some baklava to go, my wife thought walnut sounded good but our server said he felt the cashew was the best so we ordered that. When he brought it out, he said that there were 2 pieces of the cashew but he also added one of walnut at no charge, what a treat. We will be coming back here, the restaurant overall was super fresh and clean, service was great and the food was fantastic.

Absolutely love a great Gyro, however extraordinarily difficult to find one in Houston. Craving one yesterday and did not feel like making the trip to the best in Houston to, "Gyros & Shish Kabob" on Hwy 6 in front of Bear Creek. Huge mistake. Read reviews contained within Gyro King on 1960 and thought, give it a chance. I don't know what the worst Gyro tastes like, but that one was the worst one I can recall. Whoever owns that franchise, should pay a huge consulting fee to the Greek Gent down the street who owns the best one in Houston and have him teach you how to come even remotely close, it will change your game. Once you do you maybe you get another chance. In the meantime...it's spelled Tzatziki. read more

Perfect Spot for a Quick Meal! I absolutely love Gyro King for a quick and tasty meal! The hummus has been my favorite for 2 years--it's consistently delicious. I also appreciate how you can customize most dishes to your liking, which makes it even better. Now, this place is a little small, so it might not be ideal for a large group, but for a quick meal, it's perfect. The food is always fresh, and it's the go-to spot when you're craving something satisfying and quick. Highly recommend! read more

Lots of racial epithets being thrown and I was greeted by the "general manager" wearing a tank top basketball shorts and sandals and the other gentlemen reeked of marijuana and alcohol. Ok. He assured me nothing was wrong and if I came back in 30 minutes they would have food. This is like promising me it's a Ferrari but it's a Fireo kit car. I was kind and thanked him and grabbed my wife and we promptly left to another establishment. Hope their food is as good as they say. I kept my composure. Damn near hit my wife with an open container... No. I will not come back nor I recommend anyone to this establishment. Had it just been myself I would have MAYBE stuck it out.

The ingredients tasted fresh, and every bite had a nice balance of flavors and textures. I only made it through about half of my bowl, but that's more of a bonus than a complaint because I'll happily be enjoying the rest later. It also held up well during a 30-minute drive before I ate it, which says a lot about the freshness and quality.

This is a hidden little gem in the back of a long strip mall and definitely a place you should add to your try list. It's not fancy to look at, but I always feel comfortable coming in here, and they can easily accommodate large parties. As usual, they brought a refreshing lettuce salad. Once I finished that off I ordered the Mantu appetizer. Mantu is stuffed with a wonderful ground beef filling, a little pocket of deliciousness, a tiny spicy heat to it, and a moist sauce that rounds out the flavor, and is finished with a generous sprinkle of sumac. It's a delicious light dumpling!! My favorite dish that I keep ordering over and over is the Showra. This is a super flavorful broth in which a lamb shank sits along with a potato. It sounds so simple, and it is, but I think it's absolutely wonderful. I've never seen a naan prepared the way they do their version. Pull off pieces and dip that into the broth so that it gets all soggy and delicious :-). They serve it with a small side of onion and lemon, and I squeeze the lemon juice into it and dump the onion into the hot broth. I like to finish the meal with the light Firni milk pudding sprinkled with chopped pistachios. While eating here, you could run next-door to the market if you need some Halal meat. I think the above is my favorite meal here.

I came during lunchtime and it was completely empty but I still opted to dine in anyway, so I could get the real experience.

I ended up placing my order and just telling her to make it to go bc I just wasn't feeling it. I ordered the lamb chops which on the menu had the full bone on it so you could easily pick it up and eat, but when I got my order, it didn't have the bone which I thought was a bit odd. In general, I feel like the rice and the lamb chops could've used more flavor. The little spicy sauce they provided helped though.
