Came here at night cause you know yo boy got them munchies, kinda busy only 2 working, but my man's friendly and attended me fast, had me blushing the whole time at the counter not going to lie, I would definitely buy and give food to 20 different homeless people just to come back and see his smile, Oh I forgot, food was amazing, He can cook too. read more

I eat at Gyro very often and recently their food has been underwhelming and smaller portioned. This last time I found a black zip tie in my Lamb Over Rice. I'm very disappointed. Probably won't be coming back read more

Food was amazing and so fresh! No ordered online and pick up was super easy. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the fried cauliflower... It was more just roasted... Not much flavor. read more

Fresh healthy delicious tasting food Always!! I crave their lamb over rice platter every other time and has never disappointed me in over 3 years since I started going to this place read more

This place is good. A great selection of fresh entrees coupled with fast and friendly service makes for a great experience. Definitely a great option for a quick bite. I recommend the lamb over rice. The hot sauce is like no other! read more

Gyro King - Lamb Over Rice Platter! - Halal Near Me - Houston, Texas

Are you looking for some tasty halal food? This may be the spot for your late nights or even when to fulfill your cravings. I was viewing my snaps on snapchat and found my friends and family getting food from their food truck. It looked so good, I had to go try it out for myself. When we opened the door, we received a delightful waft of their food. It was like opening the doors to halal heaven. The menus are large and bright on tv screens for you to view as you walk up to the cashier. There are even photos of their food items for you to view. I'd say this place was clean and shiny. It was very cold inside that time I walked in. This might be a great spot during the Texas heat, if you know what I mean! Bring a long sleeve in case your the type that gets the chills quickly. Onto the food! I ordered a chicken and lamb combo over rice, my sister had the lamb over rice, and my cousin had shrimp over rice with a side order of lamb on top of fries. She loves fries I tell you. I kid you not we ordered our food first and beat the crowd that swept in after us. What surprised me is that they served food to another certain colored group of people that came in after us. I began to think maybe they ordered to go. We witnessed another family order their food and they were followed by another certain colored group. That other family was waiting forever and we saw the certain colored group get their food before the family. WTH right? Racists or what's the deal? Our food took a bit to get out to us, but it was bearable. The food tasted really fresh and I'd have to say it topped out as the best halal food I have had. One thing that bothered us was the spice level wasn't quite where we expected. We had spicier halal food elsewhere. I went up to the pick up side to ask for more sauce and the guy who I believe who is the manager was speaking on the phone for a bit. I was about to call him out because I could've been sitting down and enjoying my food. There were two workers taking care of orders around him. If you're going to be on the phone, go speak elsewhere besides the kitchen and in front of a customer. How rude! I also had one of their juices. $5.50 for a 16oz cup of fresh juice. I asked the cashier which juice would they prefer and she told me Juice A or Juice B. I chose A because it was green and it contains kale. The other ingredients were apples, celery, and lemon juice. Other than the lack of spice, and racial thing, we enjoyed our dinner. The prices were around $8-$15 for the dishes. It costs a bit more than other halal dishes, but the portions were a bit bigger. It was a far drive from where I live, but I'd come here again for the food if I happen to be passing through this area. read more

Went for the first time craving a gyro. It was very good. Added extra meat and feta Hubby has the lamb rice and it was excellent. I could see craving that in the future. We will definitely try again read more

If you're tired of the old fast food chains like McDonald's, Chick-fil-a, definitely give this place a try. Food is great and service is quick. I usually go for the lamb but the falafel is delicious too. Ask for extra red sauce if you want to amp up the spice. Fair warning, it's amazing but you might be sweating at the end of your meal! I think the price is fair for the amount of food. One portion can feed me twice! The juice is pretty pricey but it's fresh fruit juice so i think it's worth it. read more

I have eaten here countless times, as well as at their sister food truck in the medical center. My go-to is the chicken over rice. It is a bed of yellow (I believe jasmine)rice, with delicious chunks of marinated chicken on top. Served with a side of salad. Don't forget their bomb white and red sauces. The white sauce is like a creamy tzatziki sauce, and their red sauce definitely adds some spice. Both are delicious, and must-haves over this plate. Also, they have really great, all-natural juices! My favorite is the King Juice. Try them out! read more

I absolutely love this place! I'm glad it's like 5 minutes away from my house. Haha. My favorite is the combo over rice - it's to die for. The meats are flavorful, the sauces are tasty, and just mixing it all together is so good. The falafel one is good as well! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Omg love this place, my first time eating it was kind of cool it is a different taste, however now I love it!! Clean, and cooks are nice to explain what you may or may not like. read more

Every time I eat here I just feel a bit more healthy lol. The combo over rice never disappoints. Nice balance of juicy chicken and lamb on top of a healthy filling platter. I usually exclude the olives, but that's just my business. They also have fresh fruit juice that they press. Literal fresh fruit juice. Gyro King? Oh yeah read more

The staff is soooooo nice. So my workplace always orders lunch from here and I would go pick it up if we didn't want it delivered. One time, I ordered a falafel over rice (and there were like 9 orders total). When we get to work and look at it, I noticed my box didn't have falafel. I called and they already saw that they forgot it and a guy was on the way to our office. I was just expecting them to bring my the falafel pieces but they brought an entire new box of falafel over rice so I sorta got an extra box of food free, and delivered because they made a small mistake (which wasn't even that big of a deal). I'll always remember them for going out of the way so much. Their lamb over rice is my favorite. Always get extra red and white sauce, it's so worth! read more

Just go get the combo over rice and one gyro. You won't be let down, and for the price how could you go wrong? This is one of the best chicken/lamb over rice spot in Houston. JFC always has a place in my heart for being around when no one else was, and Al's quick stop does Lamb really well, but this place has the whole package. It's definitely cleaner than any of the other spots, service is much quicker, and it's loads easier to order from here than JFC. Also the fact you don't have to drive into the city to get it makes it a huge plus. Halal guys is nasty after you've eaten here. read more

Originally, I was going to stop by Kroger to grab a few things to cook but this place caught my attention. So glad it did, because it was worth every penny! It's a small cute joint, the girl at the counter was very helpful and kind. I told her it was my first time so I didn't know what I wanted, she kindly explained the menu to me and I went with chicken and rice. IT WAS SOOO GOOD & FULFILLING! They'll give you two types of sauce and lotssss of meats with veggies. The two types of sauce was, a white one kinda creamy like ranch but not quite like ranch, lol.. the hot sauce is not too spicy so it balanced it out nicely. The portion was huge!! I was sooo full, I couldn't finish the whole thing!! The pricing was decent, around $9/$10 for a big portion. I will be back!! read more

Another great experience here. Before I could say my order Leonardo already places my order, knowing that I'm a regular. You have to love the rapport. Hamid is in the back smiling making sure I am taken care of. The best neighborhood gyro shop. Ask about the WHITE SAUCE!!! read more

Friendly service. Great food and easy to eat on-the-go. Very filling especially their falafel.

This was my 1st visit. I am from Ohio and have been eating Gyros for years. I've been to Niko Niko and a few other gyro restaurants in houston. They were ok. But, not the extent the gyro restaurants are where I come from. Gyro Kings sandwiches, I bought 2 were fantastic. They were flavorful, with a lot of meat and veggies on them. The tzatziki sauce was excellent. They gave me hot sauce too, but I'm not used to putting that on my gyro, so I didn't. But it had a great taste. I was very satisfied with my sandwiches and will definitely be back here soon. read more

I may have been a little harsh with that first visit to Gyro King, since then I've had them several more times and they've grown on me. I still feel JFC is better but not by much. I still feel they are a bit overpriced. They are a cleaner, fresher tasting healthier lamb/chicken over rice plate than JFC but when I want a good "hood" version of an over rice plate, I'll go to JFC. Gyro King is no slouch. The chicken is flavorful and just the whole platter is delicious and satisfying especially with gyro fries. It's a regular spot of mine and I've grown to love it. read more

Yeah, I drive 25 minutes and pass severa Gyro places just to get to this one. It's fast, it's delicious, and it's affordable. Plus that little dab of hot sauce on the Gyro makes the world of a difference. read more

Of course I give this place 5 stars!!! I get the #7 combo over rice. I get it everytime, and it is just delicious. My boyfriend got the lamb chops over rice. We thought it only came with rice and lamb chops. But nope it came with also meat and vegetables. We were super surprised! We got alot for the price of it.!! We are not complaining about that of course. And the lamb chops OH MY GOSH!!! They were to die for, the seasoning was just right!! This place just keeps surprising us with the quality of their food! read more

Been there two times, ordered Gyro and Platters. Seasoned well, what separates them is their "signature white/red sauce" which is more spicy than typical tzatziki sauce. Restaurant is environment is typical of strip mall joint, think Subways. I didn't see any trash or debris. One downside is when I ordered watered, he just filled it from faucet right in front of me. I know some restaurants serve tap water from faucet but wish they had it from soda dispenser. read more

As always never been dissatisfied nor disappointed. Good service, fresh food,clean place and busy. Staff very friendly and courteous. They make my stuff the way I like it. read more

This is our favorite restaurant when craving gyros. Their food is delicious and made right in front of you. Their platters come with a good salad (unlike Halal Guys which only give lettuce and tomatoes). And they don't charge for extra sauce. read more

Welcoming staff and yummy food! Will come back for more!! I had the fish over rice and it was amazing! read more

In ordered online for delivery. They charged me $10 for delivery and then asked for tip. Was quoted 30-60 min delivery time. 42 min later got a call that they don't have a driver and if I would like to go pick it up or they'll just cancel my order. Very weak performance! read more

We had the lamb gyros they were delicious This place is a nice little neighborhood restaurant , very casual .the food was great, the price is inexpensive and they're open late! 2am .one of the best gyros I've ever had , and the hot sauce is the bomb ! read more

Food was amazing and service was even better. Sidra made me feel very welcomed at the restaurant and always checked in to make sure everything was okay. read more

Since my last review, I've probably eaten here a dozen times. In my last review I stated Jones Fried Chicken was better but now I'm liking Gyro King more! Gyro King is a lot fresher and feels a tad bit healthier when compared to Jones Fried Chicken. Their gyro sandwich is good, full of meat and veggies but don't expect the traditional tzatziki sauce. The sauce is the same white sauce they use on their other foods. Even without the traditional tzatziki I still like it. The gyro fries are a must! read more

First thing, DO NOT trust the pictures. It makes the food look better than it actually is. However, the portion size of the platter makes has redeemed my overall rating for the food. I ordered the combo platter with lamb and chicken. I enjoyed that the platter came with different sides, like chickpeas, cucumbers, lettuce, etc. The sauce is slightly disappointing. The white sauce tasted like a water-down yogurt-mayo mix with spice and the red sauce is not very spicy. Do not expect this to be like Halal Guys. Gyro King is a great place for a late night bite. Food is decent and service is fast. The food portion is very generous, but taste can be improved. read more

Tasty fast food on a late weekend night or if you're looking for something quick to grab. Chicken over rice is a staple and can never fail- or try the combo with chicken and gyro meat over rice. Flavorful meat unliked halal guys that has bland meat. They also have white and red sauce that compliments the rice and chicken very well. read more

Ive only been here once and I would definitely come back. The food is a lot and it was pretty cheap for such a large amount of food. It was different bc I've never had anything like this before. The cashier was very nice and helpful plus you should ask for extra sauce on the side. PLUS, I love the combo bc it has everything and the taste of each veggies, meat, and sauce balance each other out . Which give a powerful good taste . read more

Gyro King - Combo - Halal Near Me - Houston, Texas

DON'T ORDER HERE THROUGH FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE! NO BRAINS IN THEIR HEADS! I ordered a lamb over rice, a pita, and I side of extra sauce delivered through Uber Eats. I KNOW all three items were in my cart because there were actually two pitas and I took one out. Somehow, "only the sauce is on your order ma'am" is what the man told me when I called to complain about this stupid little bag with a single side of sauce in it. Apparently, it doesn't occur to anyone over there to contact the customer then they see an Uber Eats order for only a single sauce. Never mind that I have no idea how my items got removed from my cart but it wasn't by me. Just be warned. The system is glitchy and no one is going to use their brain in this food truck. The kicker? My single container of sauce in a paper bag has a sticker on it that says "Handmade with Love". What a slap in the face. I guarantee you this sauce is NOT handmade, it comes from a GIANT PLASTIC BOTTLE and is made in a factory. read more

Yelpers never let me down!!! I was in the area & looking for something to eat ... I came across Gyro King and their great reviews! I'm happy to add my 5 stars, my chicken over rice was awesome! The chicken seasoned just right and the sauces packing on the extra flavor. I'll be back! read more

My Yelp "find" being newer in town. Late night scene, cricket being played in parking lot as though it's the World Cup!..sweet :) picked the lamb over rice and wife picked chicken salad. I won, but both were good enough to submit a review. Something about the combination of spices and salad tastes popping in mouth to have you come again. SubhaanAllah! read more

I tried the lamb over rice platter!!! I will have to say this is definitely one of the best lamb meat I've had. Cooked perfectly, great flavor in the meat. The tzatziki sauce was also very good, the sauce made this platter amazing. I had asked for no tomatoes but I got them in my order. Plus point is it's open late. read more

Gyro King - Halal Near Me - Houston, Texas

--- NK Score = 8.0/10 --- 7/10 = Furniture/Ambience 8/10 = Food Quality 9/10 = Variety/Mastery 8/10 = Quantity/Prices (Other Ratings Hidden) --- Price Range ($5.00 - $11.00) --- --- Solo or Small Group = Applicable --- --- Lunch or Dinner = Applicable --- --- Parking Accessibility = Average --- Atmosphere: Pretty casual and modern place, the interior walls are painted in vibrant colors of yellow and red. Most of their seats are for 1 or 2 people, but they do have some tables for groups of 4. Also, the place is not usually busy because many people get togo. - Casual, Colorful Modern Interior - Average Seating and Tables - Low to Medium Noise Levels - Takeout And Dine In Food Quality: The food here is very unique and packed with an interesting flavor. Their platters consist of rice, tomatoes, corn, and other vegetables that can be mixed together with the sauce they provide. - Lamb Over Rice ($8.00): Many many chewy lamb pieces scattered over seasoned rice with the addition of their special sauce on top. The lamb is very chewy and soft at the same time, making it easy for you to break it down and consume with the rice. The flavor of the sauce is a mix of savory and creaminess, it blends really well with the mixed vegetables and salad like add-ons that comes with the platter. - Chicken Over Rice ($8.00): Just as delicious as the lamb over rice but with the chicken being much more softer to the chew. It has a different, more chicken like flavor, but combined with the sauce it's almost the same as lamb except a whole different texture. It's good if you like chicken with a new kick of flavor, especially when combined with their rice and salad. Variety / Mastery: Gyro King has halal style meats and different unique kinds of treats like falafels or gyro. Although not much variety outside the culture, they do have a very good understanding of their own cuisine and do a great job of making it delicious. Much better than some other places that make these. Quantity / Prices: The portion size is pretty good, it may not look like much, but you'll start feeling the fullness when you're halfway in. They offer a pretty fair price for the amount you get, and if you get togo or delivery, you will definitely be able to save some for later and eat 2 satisfying meals with only $8! Recommendations: Lamb Over Rice ($8.00), pretty good lamb covered in flavorful, creamy sauce that can be eaten together with the rice and salad. - Signed NK (April 2017) read more

I love their lamb over rice! This is my to go place when ever I am in the mood for a quick grab! I have tried several lamb over rice but their white sauce makes it different than the rest of the gyro places!!! read more

I used to love this place but the service has gone downhill fast over the last few months - they don't even ask you how much sauce you want on your order, and just put as much or as little as they feel like. Last time I went, I came home to find my platter drenched in double or triple the amount of white sauce they normally put; I couldn't even taste the meat that's how drenched it was. Probably won't be going here for a while. read more

This place is really good and I'm happy to have it 5 minutes from my house. I love eating shwarma and after noticing the existence of Gyro King I've been here at least 10 times within the last 2-3 weeks. The lamb is really tasty and I always get extra meat when getting lamb over rice or a gyro. The lamb chops are the most expensive thing at $15, but they are absolutely perfect if you want 4 nice chargrilled chops with tasty seasoning and crispy fat on the edges. The baklava is also some of the best I've had with its ton of flaky layers. Honestly, the chicken is alright but not the best. It is more of a shredded chicken without a strong grill flavor. Its still good if you're in the mood for chicken or a half chicken combo. The best part is that they are open until at least 12am almost every night! Perfect for dinner or friends that come over later on at night. One of my favorite spots in the area right now, I'll be back soon. read more
