Nom nom nom! I love this place! I've been wanting to try this place out since forever! LAMB OVER RICE The lamb is flavorful and seasoned so well. I love that it tastes so fresh. I love the fresh greens and how the cucumber adds a refreshing taste and a crunch and the lettuce are so good. I only wish that there were onions, tomatoes, or some corn. I ordered and brought it home and added a whole container full of tomatoes to it. The dish was missing some acidity and the tomatoes were a great addition to it. Other than that, it was amazing! LAMB GYRO The lamb is so flavorful and I love that the gyro is filled with goodies and it's not half empty or filled up only a little bit. It's completely filled! Everything was perfect! Every bite had a mouthful of lamb, onions, and lettuce. It was so good! The service was amazing and very friendly. The guy told me the total was $16, but gave me a 50% discount because it was my first time there. He was very helpful and nice. I definitely will be coming back for sure. I just wish they were closer. It takes me about an hour to get here. I can't wait to go back and eat some more. read more

Excellent taste, good portion sizes. Very fast service. Tried the gyros and chicken plate, tasted great.

My colleagues go to this food truck a lot since our building is right around the corner. I decided to give it a try today and ordered the chicken gyro. I think it was a #8. It was AWESOME! First things first, it's messy. But that's OK. It's so worth it!! Secondly, it is seasoned very well. The chicken and sauces on the gyro are very flavorful. YUM! And most importantly, the pita bread. Wow, it was the BEST ever! So warm, soft and fresh. How pita bread should be!! I think there were fresh herbs in the pita bread. OMG. Soooooooo delicious!! My only complaint is that there were pieces of lamb mixed in with my chicken. I don't eat lamb so I had to pick it out. My colleague said she also had pieces of chicken mixed in with her lamb on rice. For my chicken gyro, it was $8.27. When we got there, the only items that were available were the chicken gyro and chicken on rice. So I lucked out. My colleague's lamb on rice meal took 10 mins. But that's not bad. We walked over to the convenience store and bought some drinks. Overall, I really enjoyed my gyro. I would definitely go back. I want to try the falafel. I noticed they didn't have a falafel gyro but I think I saw a falafel sandwich on the menu. They also have fish and shrimp on their menu. And they have different juices as well. You can order your food online and go pick it up which is quick and convenient. read more

Gyro King - The chicken gyro - Messy but oh so good!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Halal Guys still has my love and loyalty, but this food truck is a great alternative if you live close. It's cheap, delicious, and will give you enough food for two or three meals! I ordered the #2, chicken over rice. Everything was deliciously flavorful - the white sauce, the rice, and even the lettuce and cucumbers. My one complaint is that the chicken was flavored a little too strongly/spicily, so much so that I definitely couldn't finish it all. I want to try the falafel next time, though, because I heard it's the item to get here. For me the best part is the convenience. Halal Guys will always be my favorite but I hate having to stand in line for so long whenever I'm there. Gyro King is a little food truck on the corner of Old Spanish Trail, and not only was there no wait on a Saturday night, but my food was ready almost instantly after I ordered. And they offer free delivery if you live within 5 miles of the truck - something I will definitely be taking advantage of more often than I probably should! read more

Gyro King - #2 Chicken over rice - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was pretty excited to come here. I had the lamb over rice and the juice B, which was ~$13 total. The juice was pretty good. Like others have said, it's not sweet. It's also kind of "warm," if you prefer cold juices. The lamb was great--it had great "gyro" flavor. I could see cumin seeds in the rice, and although I normally hate prominent cumin flavor, this was more subtle and actually tasted delicious. My main disappointment was the lack of food. I split the box, so maybe my friend just ate more than their fair share, but the portion didn't seem to match the photos. I will say too that I've had better spicy sauces with gyros at other places, like Alwadi. The red sauce here is more akin to buffalo sauce, with a heavier kick. The white sauce was tasty, though. Maybe once I check out the other similar places my opinion will change, but for now, considering the mediterranean food I've had lately that was unexpectedly delicious, this is hovering around the average. read more

A food truck usually gives me the idea that their food be average. Having tried gyros at various halal places I must say this is the best gyro I've had in the longest. Lamb on rice was also very yummy! Their juices are nice! Quick service and friendly staff. Gyro King - simply delicious! read more

The food wasn't horrible but it wasn't AMAZING. I felt like it was edible. I couldn't really taste the seasoning or what everyone is raving about in taste wise. I wish there was a little bit more sauce because I ate a lot of just dried rice. I had the lamb & chicken mix with rice. The portions was very little compared to all the pictures I see on Yelp and the price was really not reasonable for the amount served. My one order cost $9.50 but the worker was nice enough to let me pay in card if I agreed to just call it $10 even. I would try it again just to see if tonight was just an off night, but if the second time isn't good, I don't think I would try it again after that. Price was expensive for a small portion that didn't really satisfy my expectations. read more

Gyro King - Lamb and chicken mix over rice. - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Just following Daniel L.'s lead in discovering delicious new dives around the Med Center. Two weeks ago it was Sleepy's Po-Boys and this week it was Gyro King. Working in the Med Center, I get tired of the same old suggestions/recommendations... well except for Hungry's. I don't ever get tired of Hungry's; albeit my wallet might. Anyway, back to Gyro King. Maybe there's something about finding a new place you haven't heard much about, or the inconspicuous nature of a food truck that tempers expectations. That's typically a good thing, because it allows you to just appreciate the food with no preconceived notions. And Gyro King's food is delicious. I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it's definitely better than Kebabalicious in Austin and the gyro itself might even be better than the one at Niko Niko's. They do not cheat you. There's plenty of lamb and a healthy dose of both red and white sauces accompanied by fresh lettuce, onions and cucumbers, the latter of which provide a nice acidity to off set heaviness of the lamb and the sauces. Service was friendly and fast. I'll be back to try the mix over rice. [UPDATE]: Okay... so returned (less than a week later) to try the lamb over rice and force my co-workers to give the gyro a spin. I forgot about getting the mix, damnit. Doesn't matter... delicious. So. Much. Food. Anyone who says this isn't enough food needs to seriously check their daily calorie consumption. The included image is *after* I'd been eating for 5-7 minutes and I eat like a horse. Obviously I mixed my 'salad' in with the rest. Seriously love this place. This time they actually over charged me by a $1. I was going to let it slide, but between the time I ordered and the time they handed me my food they realized it and reimbursed me. read more

I always order from uber eats. So good and travels very well too. The falafel is awesome.

Tastiness! Call ahead if you're ordering falafels they do tend to run out of them at the end of the day. F type coming for the first time, It's a big yellow truck at the corner of a gas station. They do prepare the food when you order so make sure you're ready to wait for at least 15 mins if there's no line. The boyfriend LOVED the amount of food you get for under 10 bucks and its true. I had enough food for dinner and lunch the next day. The food is absolutely falvorful! The lamb and chicken was a hit for my friends. You can also order ahead through grubhub. read more

tl:dr quality and flavorful food -- as good as mediterranean gets I visited this fab food truck yesterday afternoon with my mom, and at first skeptically approached the window. The owner was a bit chatty and kept on boasting about how fresh their food was, how their reviews soared, and how they were the #1 food truck in Houston. But once I tasted the food, all of his statements seemed to have been so true. We ordered the Lamb/Chicken Gyro over Rice with both sauces, a Lamb Gyro with jalapenos, and the jalapeno/orange/apple/celery premium juice. The Mixed Meat over Rice was extremely filling, and the white/spicy sauce did a very good job of complimenting both the salad and the flavorful (saffron infused?) rice that the meats were layered over. Both the chicken and the lamb meat were well-cooked and had good spicy hints. The Lamb Gyro was spicy, as asked, and it always amazes me when restaurants actually put in the effort to put in fresh jalapenos for spicy-food lovers like us. The Juice actually quite frankly surprised me. I was anticipating a gross-version of Superfood, the Odwalla drink, but the juice was actually very very fresh (no added sugar or ice) and the jalapeno gave just the right spicy tinge after drinking a predominantly apple juice. Overall, the experience was great and would definitely return. Excited for Gyro King to make its restaurant appearance. read more

Gyro King - Lamb and chicken over rice with both sauces! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is pretty solid considering it's a food truck at a gas station. It's halal too for those that care. They have seating there behind their truck for those wanting to eat there and not take it away in the to go box. Food: They give a lot of food so come hungry, otherwise you'll end up sharing this or even using it for more than one meal. The best option is the chicken and lamb over rice. You can get it with a salad included. They also will put the tiziki sauce and hot sauce on the top or on the side for you. This place is a lot like Jones Fried Chicken, but I probably like Jones more. Beverages: They have a few options of combinations they provide, but didn't get to try any. You can't mix it like you want so that's the only downside. read more

Gyro King - Here us their chicken over rice plate. - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Probably one of the best, if not the best Greek and halal good we have ever had! Not sure if it's halal though! We went to school in Austin so Halal Bros was our go-to! Now that we are here and lives near the Med center, this place is just a 5-10 minutes walk away from where we live! 4/5 - Location & Parking: pretty easy to spot the truck once you are in the area, the color is pretty catchy! Might be a little hard to find parking because it is location in a gas station. 4/5 - Staff & Services: friendly and outgoing staff, although we had to wait for our food because I think they gave someone else's our food when we came back from buying drinks at the gas station. 4.5/5 - Food: pretty delicious and moist Chicken over rice! Love love the white and spicy sauce! Make sure you ask for extra sauce if you love them like we do! They don't really put that much! Plenty plenty of food! Enough to split an order with someone! Decent pricing as well! This will definitely we our new and go-to Chicken over rice place! read more

I seriously love this truck! There aren't a ton of options on this side of town, which makes me extra grateful for this crazy, flashing yellow truck at the corner of OST and Almeda. I've had all the gyros--lamb, chicken, falafel--and they are all really great! The falafels are made fresh every day and they taste great! The lamb is my Favorite though. I come here at least twice a week because it is so easy, fast and fresh. The guy who owns the truck is SO personable and friendly, I hope he starts to recognize me as a regular soon hahaha!! Anyways, CALL and place your order now (they even have delivery, say what?!?) and you won't regret it! read more

Gyro King - Lamb over rice. Extra sauce. - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

When traveling to New York, there is one thing that we always make time to get. It is the chicken and rice platter from a certain food cart on 53rd and 6th in Manhattan. Luckily we have options here in Houston to satisfy the craving for chicken and rice. Gyro King is hands down my favorite spot for chicken and rice in Houston. It is a food truck tucked away in the parking lot of a gas station. The food always tastes fresh and has never disappointed. We also like to get the lamb and rice also. There are other options on the menu if you want to try something different. read more

Food truck in the middle of a gas station parking lot! The food is seasoned perfectly! The sauces are delicious and so are the meats! The chicken is a little on the dry side and so is the lamb (less so than the chicken). I wished they were a little more moist but other than that, the flavors are wonderful and everything tastes great! Stop here for a pickup to go! read more

The falafel is great.. also try the mango lemonade and baklava dessert. They are quick and clean

This place may not seem like much, but they have delicious food! I usually get the lamb over rice! The portions are generous, I usually get two meals out of the one order. Use the yelp app for easy ordering! The staff is nice and cordial. The meal is ready in under 10 mins. Great place for a late snack, it's open until 11pm. If you order from this place, except to take it home or eat in your car. There isn't any seating around. But don't worry your food will stay hot for a good 20 mins. (That's how long it takes me to drive home and my food stays hot) Halal guys doesn't have anything on this place! read more

Gyro King - Lamb over rice!!! Super generous portions! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

All I can say is that I'm grateful that I work down the street from Gyro King! When I get a hankering for a lamb over rice plate with extra white sauce I can be there in less than 5 minutes. Of course I might have to stand in line in the heat and humidity if I don't time my visit right. But it's worth the wait. Seriously worth the wait. My only complaint is that they don't sell any other beverages than their juices. I'd love to be able to buy a bottle of water or a soda. But in the big scheme of things it's not a big deal. read more

I have been to Gyro King a few times since its close to my work (near the Medical Center). This food truck/trailer is located in the same parking lot as a gas station. But don't let this fool you, its definitely worth a try if you have not been here. The food is fresh and service is great. I have only had the lamb gyros and lamb rice bowls. The white and spice sauces makes the dish even more amazing. read more

This place makes me so happy. Chicken/lamb over rice is probably the singular most common meal that I have eaten in the last five years of my life, and this place serves up a really delicious take on it. The chicken and the gyro meat are both really well-seasoned, and they taste good even without the addition of the white sauce and the red sauce. The rice is really nicely textured and plays a great support role in the platters they serve. The veggies that come with the platters are good enough (gotta get that fiber). The white sauce is pretty standard, but the red sauce is actually a vinegary and not as hot kind of sauce - more like a southern hot sauce than the usual thick, ultra-spicy paste that comes with chicken over rice. Some may like it, some may not, though personally I think it goes surprisingly well with the platters. The highlight here is the massive portions that you get for the price. It's enough to feed even myself for a meal, and I'm the type of person who usually need about one and a half entrees at any given restaurant to feel full. read more

I'll drive 30 minutes each way, any day to pick up Gyro King. The customer service was what sold me. A busy Thursday night and out server greatef every customer warmly.

Gyro King - Lamb over rice!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Loving this truck...used to go to Jones Fried Chicken...but it is so far out the way for me....this place is on my direct path home. Good thing about it being on a food truck is that your food is always so fresh unlike Jones's is sitting out on buffet line and the rice seems a bit dry. Food here is so tasty, lamb, chicken, shrimp, fish (grilled or fried), falafel. I have tried them all thus far except the shrimp and falafel...though they are on my list. They also deliver which you don't see many food trucks doing. This is a must try food truck and less expensive them so others I have seen. read more

My friend was in town and we were looking for a food truck for dinner late one Saturday night. It was a toss up between Gyro King and Kabab King in the medical center area, but we decided on Gyro King. I had never had chicken and rice, New York street food style until I came and tried Gyro King. Although my friend didnt eat, I ordered the number 7 combo. The guy at the counter said they didn't have any juices since they were closing in about 10 mins. He also mentioned that the #1 and #7 are the two most popular meals and so I decided I'd stick to his recommendation. This was a huge to-go box full of deliciousness. I was only able to eat about 1/4 of the meal before getting stuffed. All in all, a great value. If I'm ever in the medical center late night, I'll come to try other menu items. read more

Tried something different today then I normally get the Combo Gyro with rice on the side. Omg I was dancing for joy lol. The Combination Gyro (lamb & chicken) with shredded lettuce, onions, cucumber with their white sauce and some kind of spice flavor I haven't had. It was amazing let me tell you. It was so full of meat and veggies and full of flavor. I usually get the combination over rice but I'm glad I finally tried the gyro here.The pita bread was so soft and chewy and it held all the ingredients very well. The lamb is very tender and well seasoned as well as the chicken. I cannot stop eating it lol. You will not be disappointed for sure. I love the rice but alone it needs something to bring it more flavor. I used the white sauce I had and it made the rice taste even more amazing. They do accept credit cards but if you pay with cash it saves you a bit. read more

Great place to grab a fast plate for lunch if you're in the area. If you get the combo with your choice of meat and rice, you'll have enough leftovers for your next meal! Although their red sauce isn't as spicy as halal guys, this place is a great option if halal guys is too far away. But pay with cash since they'll charge you an extra ~$0.50 if you use debit/credit. Sometimes there will be a line during the lunch rush but they'll get your order out in under 10 minutes. read more

These disgusting people served me a Rice plate that suspect was prepared earlier in the day for a customer that either didn't show or couldn't pay. I received my plate with stone cold Lamb and BROWN lettuce. I turned right around to ask for a refund and was refused even though it is not posted. I was offered a remake of the food but I feel as though someone thought it was acceptable to serve that to me in the first place so there's no telling what other crap goes on in there. I will never return and I'm disputing with my bank . To hell with your policy and you are selling old food!What scumbags!! read more

ITS A FOOD TRUCK! If ya'll didn't know already...bc my boyfriend and I didn't. We drove around an extra 5 min trying to find the place bc we thought it was a restaurant. Until we saw the gas station and I was like NAH, it be in that JANK ASS place bc of all the HIGH HIGH reviews. Well it wasn't in the gas station...it was next to it LOL. Food was derricious with generous big boy portions! I got the mixed lamb and chicken over rice with XXXXTRA white sauce and hot sauce. Meat was flavorful but the white sauce and the hot sauce could use some work. Needless to say, this place is still really good but honestly I still prefer Jones. Jones has more of the authentic spices taste in there while Gyro King is still flavorful but just not in the spice direction I wanted or expected. Green "A" juice was very refreshing! It could be colder tho. Kale, Apple, celery, lemon. Not too sweet but sweet enough with just a bit of bite from the lemon. Great combo with such a heavy meal...makes me feel not as guilty...but then again...I asked for XXXTRA white sauce so I don't give shit ;) read more

Worth every penny, nickel and dime! Gives you a tone of food for a great price. I recommend getting the combo plate, and extra white sauce!

Ordered today via UberEats Ordered combo over rice, lamb and chicken and juice D. The food was OK, a good portion but I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken flavor. I still tore it up! The white sauce I thought would be tzakziki which I love BUT it had a Mayo base which was a total turnoff, when I realized what I was tasting I stopped eating it. The juice was tasty, it is made from beets,orange,ginger and carrot, kinda like sorrel a Jamaican drink I like. The juice was way way over priced and my cup was not even full. I would order again maybe because they are halal and not bad for the price of their entree. read more

I've been here twice now. My first visit I got the lamb gyro and it was out of this world delicious! Completely blew me away. Everything blended together well and the lamb was tender and moist along with the sauces and soft pita bread. Unfortunately, my second visit I tried something different which was the lamb and Chicken over rice as well as the Falafel over rice. The Falafels weren't even edible they were so over cooked. The lamb and Chicken was just ok and the rice was...... Not delicious. I was pretty disappointed considering it was a total of twenty dollars worth of food. I'm not sure I'll risk coming back but if I do it'll only be for the gyro. Nothing else. read more

Okay, so I thought the mixed chicken and lamb over rice was pretty good. Until I saw the overcharge on my cc by about $1. Paying $10.50 for this was not worth it as I can get a lot more food at Niko Nikos and a lot of other places in Houston. I'm leaving it at 1 star because the food wasn't bad. The red sauce isn't spicy at all. I think it is slightly oversalted. The meat is tender and the rice is good although a little oily. They said it was about $9.75 as my total. I don't like being lied to. They also don't post prices. It's a lot less food than what Halal Guys in NYC gives you for about $7. I don't mind paying a premium for food, but I don't appreciate when I get charged more than what I'm told. I can wait to return to NY for the real deal. read more

Gyro was wonderful. Happy to pay the $1 price increase. Y'all are amazing. Thank you!

Was in the Medical Center and of course had to hit this legendary place up. I was shocked (but not surprised) to see TWO more food trucks opened right across the street in the other gas station to try to steal some of GK's customers. I can't be mad at them for trying to get some of this hotness, but I can laugh at them. Don't be fooled; these guys are the original and this is the Halal food you are looking for! Ordered the Lamb over Rice, Chicken over Rice, and Lamb gyro. All were packed with huge portions of ingredients and tasted amazing as I remembered from 6 years ago. It took less than 3 minutes in total transaction time and they had my food ready before I even walked out of the convenience store with my water bottle. See my man Lee over there and he'll get you taken care of with polite and prompt customer service. Do not inquire about the Lee's special sauce. read more
