I used Uber eats so did not see the actual food truck! But it was quick and delivery was fast. Now the food, wow it's a huge portion but it was delicious, I got the combo (chicken and lamb) over yellow rice and had lettuce and cucumber on the side, I drizzled the white sauce on top and wow it was so good!!! I also got the gyro fries on the side and that too was fantastic. For drinks I decided to try one of their juices, juice B. It was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place if your in town! read more

Yno there are places that do the gyro in cubes. Or chunks of meat. There are places that do it in thin slices. I personally am a thin sliced kind of guy. I think the flavor in the meat is strong, and can be a bit overwhelming when clunked together. So I believe to create a beautiful harmony within the gyro it must be thinner slices. This place is cubed or chunky meat pieces. Again. You may like that but I do not. The flavor gets a bit too salty and overpowers everything else I'm eating. Luckily the place can serve it quite spicy which I truly appreciate. There were a fair amount of vegetables. Even and balanced. Never felt like "o dang... This is a ton of veggies..." It felt like a solid good amount. But.... I have had better. The flavors didn't sing as it should. Or could have. I liked it. Trust me. Nothing gets me going than a solid gyro sammy. But I believe it can do better. read more

Gyro King is the real deal. My friends and I needed a quick bite and happened to stumbled across their page on yelp. Gyro King is a food truck located in a gas station parking lot, but don't let this deter you- their food is so fresh and well seasoned. We ordered a falafel wrap- definitely one of the top 2 falafels I have ever had. Falafel is normally too "bread-y" for me, but this one was so full of flavor and texture. I also ordered the chicken over rice and I highly recommend this. I really enjoy the way they season their chicken- you can tell it's unique from other popular chain halal restaurants. The veggies they serve are also very refreshing. The white sauce has a kick of dill in it that also makes it very good and unique. Overall, 10/10 recommend and I will be back!! read more

You can never go wrong with the lamb and chicken gyro--it's my go-to order! The flavors are incredible, packed with so much flavor that every bite is a delicious. It's such a satisfying and filling meal, making it perfect for lunch or dinner. Plus, everything feels fresh and vibrant, which just adds to the experience. If you're looking for a quick & delicious gyro that hits all the right notes, this is the one to try! read more

Food is always amazing, fresh and they give you plenty. Fast service. Love this place.

I did a quick food run here for dinner, picked up a lamb on rice. Food came out very fast, maybe 2 minutes. Lamb is fantastic, well seasoned, really tender. The rice was also well spiced! The vegetables were standard, and the sauce brought the whole dish together. Really good, I'll definitely come back to try out their beef dish too! read more

Gyro King - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

A local legend for gyro and meat platter on the south side of the 610 loop. Portions are quite generous as with most gyro places, and the meat is really good. Our service was fast and food came out within 5 minutes, or ASAP. Though, there was not really anyone else there on a weekday lunch hour. The inside is designed to evoke some New York City imagery, which I thought was an interesting choice. Price was standard. Could be better at smaller joints, but I have yet to try the competition. I'd definitely come back if anywhere near the south 610 loop. read more

I'm not sure why this place is rated so highly because I've been to multiple other gyro stands/trucks/restaurants, and they've all been better than this one. The food smells strangely, and it's such an overpowering smell that it overwhelms the taste. Our food was packaged very poorly, and eating gyro food out of a Styrofoam container is not a pleasant experience. read more

Pretty darn good! It's a food truck and it has a limited menu but it was really good. They give you alot of did for the price. The service is good and fast. I tried the combination rice bowl. It had chicken, beef and shrimp and rice and lettuce. I don't know what sauce they use but it its good. Overall I would recommend. read more

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

I eat here about once a week, and that's that on that! It's stupid good and cheap. There's always enough for left overs. I always order: Lamb over rice with extra tzatiki sauce, hot sauce and pita bread. read more

We stop here sometimes after we go to NRG if the weather is nice. I love the falafel, and my husband thinks it's the best gyro around. The fries are always nice and crispy, and they give you a large amount. The service is friendly. If you are looking for something delicious, quick, and inexpensive-this place is great! read more

I'm doing meatless Mondays and wanted to get something different but yummy. I decided on a falafel sandwich with a side of hummus. At first, I wasn't sure the sandwich would be filling enough (hence why I got the hummus), but I was wrong and even ended up having a bite leftover. The hummus was delicious, I put it on my sandwich and I think it made the sandwich better. I probably would have given the sandwich 3 stars without it. read more

GK is my go to for moderately healthy comfort food. I usually come here a couple of times per week. The mixed lamb and chicken over rice always hits the spot and they give you the veggies at the Fannin location which the food truck doesn't carry so that's a big plus. It's worth driving a few minutes for. I'd say it's the best inside the loop. read more

Gyro King - Combo Over Rice - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

This food truck is delicious!! I made a delivery for them via uber eats and something told me to go back and give them a try. So glad I did. I ordered the chicken gyro with everything on it! I did not have to wait long for my order and it came out hot and fresh. Every ingredient complimented the other. This food truck is located in the parking lot of Chevron off Almeda and OST. They do not have a sitting area. It looks like they're constantly busy, so the parking area can be hectic at times. Check them out! read more

Super convenient location to pick up food after the zoo before going on the highway and heading home. Gyro was so full it couldn't even close. The juices are also so fresh and refreshing. read more

Great service!! Thank you Romeo and Muhammad . I ordered the chicken and rice today and it was delicious.

There are a bunch of Mediterranean and halal type food options in this area of town, but so far this is my favorite. We had been going to gyro hut across the street but decided to mix things up and I'm glad we did. While the menu options are pretty similar, gyro king had better portion sizes and imo, seems to be more freshly made. Food is made quickly and staff is friendly. We have gotten combo rice platter and chapli kebab platter and really enjoyed both. I've also had the fruit juices in the past and they are excellent (they have a super impressive juicer if you watch them make it!) Of note, this is a food truck and does not have any seating (which is ok by me during this pandemic time). They have a sign that says they will be opening/?moving to new location, so not sure if that will be another food truck or a sit-down. I imagine a move may be good for business bc their current location leaves something to be desired (wouldn't want to be hanging out at this gas station late in evening). read more

Oh man I have been craving some Hala bros from Austin but couldn't get any so when I was here I found this place and decided to try it out! I got the chicken rice bowl and man it was pretty good! I asked for the salad on the side because I was going to take it home and heat it up and eat it later but I realized they could've just put it on the side instead of the foil and probably give u more. The only disappointment is thay the hot sauce was not hot at all. Most places half a squirt is so spicy but I literally put 2 of those hot sauce cups and it wasnt spicy at all.. kinda sad but it was still pretty good! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. This is a nice little spot with excellent customer service. We got a falafel sandwich, the lamb Shawarma (gyro) sandwich, some tabouli side salad and an order of fries. Everything was very yummy. This was our first time coming but we will surely be returning soon. read more

It gets no better than this (in Houston) if you're looking for this type of street food. It's so good, fresh, and the place is clean, despite the location. The guys at the truck are nice & the food is plentiful. I want some right now . I recently tried Halal Guys & they ought to be ashamed of themselves-- it was disgusting compared to Gyro King. The nerve of them, serving me packaged sauces instead of fresh ones lol. Here's what I've been getting here for the past 5 years: - Lamb/chicken combo plate over rice - Shrimp over rice - Fries - Fresh juice Order extra sauces on the side! read more

I expected a totally different experience due to the Raving reviews. I was left confused and questioning my tastebuds. I ordered the combo platter (chicken and lamb over rice) Good stuff first: Easy to locate great location in the med center Fast efficient service. Workers are super nice. Large portions and great prices Not do good stuff: The chicken was the worse tasting item on my plate. I did not like the flavor or the texture. The lamb had a weird taste to me as well The rice was ok The salad was questionable. The white sauce was not good. I don't know if I just had really high hopes due to all the great reviews or if My taste buds just weren't fans. I wanted to like Gyro King however looks like I'll be sticking with The Halal Guys. read more

I hyped this place up in my head and it just fell a little short. My apartment is only a 10-minute drive from here so it was convenient to stop by and check it out. There were several people who ordered before me waiting for their food. Once I placed my order everything moved really fast. I received my plate in about 10 minutes. I ordered a lamb and chicken combo plate. Usually, it's $9 but if you pay with card they add an extra charge which they do inform you of. My total ended up being $9.75 however when I checked my bank statement I was charged $10.44. Not sure what went wrong but it wasn't a big deal. Wonder if anyone else has had this problem. Rushed home to dig into my meal. Overall it was meh. There wasn't anything special about it. The white sauce was underwhelming and the red sauce was not spicy what so ever. I honestly could have finished the whole thing in one sitting but decided not to be a pig and ration it out. I have another halal place in mind that trumps Gyro King and it's cheaper so I would most likely choose that place than the latter. The plate did it's job of making me full but it didn't hit the spot. read more

I had the 100% Beef Chaplin Kabob without sauce; it was scrumptious! The meat was juicy and well seasoned. The rice was perfectly cooked. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The serving portion was generous. I plan to order from this food truck again! read more

SO GOOD, definitely a place you can count on for late nights. Love love loveeed it. Best gyro bowl I've gotten in Houston tbh.

Gyro King was the first food place I ate at when coming to Houston and what a great start to my foodie adventure that was! This food truck is located in a gas stations parking lot. I don't think the truck has soft drinks, however, they do have fruit & vegetable juices. I will sometimes go inside the gas station to grab a drink and maybe even a treat while they work on my meal, which doesn't usually take long. Because this is a food truck, the food is meant to be to-go; There are no tables or benches for you to sit and eat at. Brays Bayou is a nice park just down the street @ 6532 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX 77021 (a 3min. drive) and would be a nice place to eat at if you are trying to find somewhere outdoors to eat... especially during sunset! I love the chicken over rice platter with the sauces on the side! Also highly recommend the falafel! Portions sizes for the bowls are pretty nice, I can usually get two meals out of it. So when considering the price and the portions, I'd say worth it. read more

Definitely worth a visit for a delicious tasting gyro. You'll find this food truck in the parking lot of a gas station. I ordered the lamb gyro which was $8.75 ( they don't display prices) and I would have to rate that a 5 out of 5. The flavors were on point and they give you a good amount. read more

Gyro King over Halal Guys any day... any day! First discovered this place almost two years ago when my frenemy suggested to bring it to work. She called in and placed the order and I was hooked! We both got the chicken over rice, mine with extra white sauce. Her's with extra red sauce. I can never finish a chipotle bowl but this bad boy was too good to put down. The guys at the truck are extremely nice too. Like very very nice. read more

Consistently on point with taste and customer service. Not a big fan on their recent change in containers. It's very unpleasant when trying to mix the veggies and everything else together. Very much preferred the previous containers. read more

The food is great and so is their service! They came to my school and were super nice to us students.

Great food, prices and service. Grilled tilapia was spiced and cooked perfectly, falafel salad was balanced just right with cucumbers and onions and pickled cauliflower and red pepper on top. The French fries were an huge hit with my kids. Three full meals for under $20. read more

This food truck is my go to when I need a meal that is flavorful but not too heavy. The service is quick and the food is inexpensive. You get a good serving that can end up being about two meals depending on how much you eat. I usually order the lamb over rice and I have always been satisfied. read more

They've anointed themselves but is Gyro King really the king of gyros? I'm not willing to bestow upon them this crown. I don't often eat in the med center but I was in the area for lunch on a Thursday. A friend of mine had hyped up Gyro King and I finally had a chance to check them out. They're a food truck located in the parking lot of a gas station. It's a grab-and-go type experience as there isn't anywhere to sit unless you eat in your car. I went with the lamb and chicken combo over rice with the sauce on the side and my dining companion ordered the gyro fries. The dishes are pretty much the same if you swap out the fries for rice. Considering my combo platter, you get a good amount of food. Definitely enough for two meals unless you're a fattie. The white sauce is what I put on mine and I'm not big on spicy so I passed on the red sauce. Between the lamb and chicken, I definitely preferred the lamb. The chicken is marinated in a reddish marinade and the spices tasted like what you often have at Indian restaurants. The lamb was your typical gyro meat. For the other dish, the fries were crispy which I liked. I enjoyed Gyro King but would go with the lamb over rice next time. Above average but not regal. Food came out quick. Added bonus: they have fresh and healthy drink options that consist of a mix of fruit and veggies (5 or so options) read more

My sister was so hangry last night and asked me if I would buy her something to eat. I'm thinking why would she ask me to buy her something to eat, me? So, I decided to treat my sister that gets on my nerves sometimes because hey that's what siblings do. As we pull up, I notice the gas in her Ford is on empty and thank goodness, the service station is Chevron! The best gas you can put in your car. Low and behold, Gyro King awaits us.. parked in an all yellow suit, with black tires, food porn pictures plastered on the outside and a bright red sign that read, "GYRO KING". Ahhhhhh, my sister eyes arose as she knew she was going to savour her tastebuds. She had read all the good excellent reviews on Yelp and just knew she had to get some food in her belly. We park nearby and get out, as we wait behind these people. The ordering guy says, "how may I help you ladies?" My sister immediately says with a smile, I would like a number 2. To my surprise, she already knew what she wanted. Then the guy, talks to my sister about her job as a labour as he prepares the food. She talks to him about her job as a hard-worker, they talk. I just listen and smile. Then boom!, the food is ready. My sister says, "Wow, that was quick!" I say, "Yup, let's go!" When we sit our butts back into her Ford, we both can smell the aroma of the styrofoam box: a ventilation system of sweet tasteful smells. She opens the box to reveal, not just a sexy fully dressed meal, but a beautifully dressed lamb, vegetables, yellow rice covered in a white gown of Tzatziki sauce (T-sauce). All I could think of was, "dang, I should have gotten some", but I had eaten a grilled cheese sandwich earlier and was full. She says, "wow, they put two forks in here." and asks if I wanted some. I tell her, "heck yes!" We both had an orgasm in the mouth after tasting that seasoned to perfection lamb and that cinnamon spiced rice. Oh, my, oh, my...even the vegetables were freshly prepared. My sister ate the whole thing in a bite, only carefully taking a few breaks in between. After my third bite, I wanted more and even dreamed about having more in my belly as we drove around completely lost with nowhere to go, but home. I felt as if we were in a trance eating that delicious food. _________________________________________________________________ For $8 and some cents, you get yourself a whole meal for 2. No need water to wash it down because your salivary glands will do that for you before and after you swallow this. No heavy handed on salt or even pepper, but only just right. read more

I stopped to get gas on the way home from the gym and decided to grab dinner from this food truck and it turned out to be a great decision. I ordered half rice and half lamb over rice and the food was ready instantaneously! The meal was delicious and I couldn't decide if I liked the chicken or the lamb better since they were both so perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sauces are definitely key to the platter and there's plenty to enjoy your meal with even without extra sauce. The portion sizes are huge and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing but I'm going to be looking forward to those leftovers! read more

Gyro King - Half chicken and half lamb over rice. So delish! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wow... the moment you park, it smells like heaven. Food smells AMAZING even before eating it. Oh my goodness. One of my favorite comfort foods is lamb. Ever since I had me first gyro with lamb and tzaziki sauce, I knew from that very moment that this would be my all time favorite food to eat. I've been meaning to try Gyro King just because of the distance from home and work, as well as the raving reviews. For some reason, I never got the chance to try Gyro King until today. And I regret not eating food from Gyro Kind years ago. I called ahead so that I could just have food ready by the time I came. All the reviews talk about having to wait a while and you would have to call in advance. So I did that. I will repeat. The moment you drive up. You instantly smell amazing food coming from the food truck. I ordered 2 lamb over rice with extra sauce. When it came time to pay, the owner asked if I had cash. Unfortunately, I didn't. He suggested that next time when I come, to pay in cash because if I were to pay with my credit card, I would get charged for taxes and extra fees. That was nice of him to suggest that. Now the food. FREAKING AMAZING. OH MY GOD. The sauce. The chopped up lamb. The crispness of the cucumber and lettuce. The cooked basmati rice. So simple, yet so delicious. One box is enough to feed two. I bought one for my mom and I to eat for dinner and we were stuffed. We still have left over. I just found my new dinner spot after work. read more

Gyro King - Lamb over rice! Sauce on the side! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Chicken over rice or lamb over rice, with white sauce. DAMN, so simple yet so freaking fabulous! This food truck brings the flavor. Just make sure they are up and running, the start up can be tough but once they start slinging these platters out you better watch out. I have had Halal Guys in NYC and Halal Bros in Austin, both are better, but this place is better than Jones Fried Chicken in my opinion. And it's an added bonus that it's minutes away from my house. Not sure about their night time hours but they are definitely open for lunch! read more

When I looked up Gyro King on Yelp, I thought it was a sit down restaurant, but its actually a food truck! It looks kind of sketchy since its right next to a gas station, but the food is definitely worth it. On this visit, I tried their combo platter, which was comprised of a variety of meats, including lamb and chicken. Gyro King definitely doesn't skimp on the protein like other places. There was so more meat than rice in the platter. Anytime I am in the surrounding area, I will be sure to make another visit to Gyro King! I'm ready to try all of their wraps and platters! read more
