Mr. Gryo's has been my go-to Greek spot ever since I moved to Overland Park. Pre-COVID, it was…read morehands down one of the best deals in town, and even now it's still a dollar or two cheaper than most Euro-Mediterranean places. They've stood the test of time in OP, Olathe, and Leawood, and for good reason. For this visit, I ordered the Classic Gyro -- pita stuffed with gyro meat, onions, and tomatoes, with tzatziki on the side. I always swap for their spicy tzatziki, which isn't an upcharge but is a big upgrade in taste -- creamy, tangy, spicy, and totally unique. Other restaurants just give you regular tzatziki plus sambal or hot sauce if you want heat. Mr. Euro's spicy tzatziki is in a league of its own: orange-hued, balanced, and absolutely addictive. If they bottled it, I'd buy it. I also added a beef souvlaki skewer ($8). It was seasoned with Greek spices and a good portion size. I'd prefer it cooked medium rare, but they don't do it to order. My nitpick? I wish it came with its own sauce -- luckily, dipping it in leftover spicy tzatziki still worked perfectly. Other items I've enjoyed: Steak pita - a good alternative if you want steak instead of gyro meat. Moussaka ($6 side) - baked eggplant + ground beef casserole topped with a luscious béchamel sauce. Like Greek lasagna. Delicious when the topping isn't over-browned. Dolmades - grape leaves stuffed with beef, rice, herbs, with a lemon wedge. When on point, they're the best I've had anywhere -- moist, bright, and balanced. But consistency can vary. Soups - lentil (fine, but not my favorite) vs. the lemon chicken orzo, which is Greek chicken noodle soup perfected. Comforting, citrusy, hearty -- my ideal version of chicken soup. Sides and extras: Spicy feta dip - surprisingly delicious even for someone who's not big on feta. Garlic potato dip - new, but definitely on my list to try. Rice - decent, but not the most flavorful I've had. Still works as a filler. Spanakopita - good, but there are other items I'd choose first. Desserts: From what I've tried, the baklava (solid, though not KC's best), tiramisu (fine), and opera cake (still on my list) are worth noting. But they usually have more than just those three in the case, so you'll have other choices too. Small nitpicks: The gyro toppings come as large tomato slices and onion ring slices. I personally prefer them diced so they're easier to eat in the sandwich (I dice them up at home). That's just me, though -- plenty of people probably like it the way it is. Consistency can vary a bit -- sometimes the gyro meat is oversalted, or the dolmades come out a touch dry. Final note: please bring back the chicken gyro! My mom absolutely loved it, and we'd happily choose Mr. Gyro's over the one other place that still offers it. Rating: 4.5 stars (rounded to 4). Occasional inconsistency keeps it shy of 5, but between the value, authentic flavors, and that spicy tzatziki that should be bottled, this is still one of my top spots.

I like exploring the olives and their selection of sauces and spices. The food itself is consistently fresh and delicious. I've mostly stuck to the wraps, hummus, dolmas, and other items. Less familiar with the pizza. The falafel is always good and the wraps use a thinner flatbread that isn't too dry and lets the rest of the ingredients shine through.

Twilight zone ah restaurant…read more The summer evening's gentle humidity greeted me as I woke up from a strange dream. I recall a long room. Tables set. A menu hanging by a thread, the crease counting on one hand how many openings it has left. What is that desolate counter doing there? And those Wayfair basket shelves? Sure, I'll get the Greek Platter. A tasty entree no doubt but an unholy matrimony: the saddest pita bread you'll meet. At no fault to Kinzi, cyclospora weighed heavy on me this meal. Just thought you should know. Soon I'm in the hallway. Washing your hands is righteous, right? Where am I? Laboratory light seems to come from nowhere. Dove white dry paint on the floor and the door. And the handle. Get me out of here. As I descend the steps of purgatory, a siren calls: "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" Motion detectors. But where? And what are we protecting? The patrons from themselves? I'm back, but not for long. This entire time I endured the music. The flat screen does no justice to these poor bare bellied women, forced to dance for eternity, only punctuated by YouTube ads. Then, suddenly, there's an incessant beeping. For a few minutes it won't go away. Then, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" followed by the cutely sinister chimes. Oh, it's the ice box. He rips something out of the bottom and the beeps dissipate. The kind man approaches. "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" What? Oh! The plates, yes, and the check, yes. "Save Ferris," his shirt reads. Is that who we're guarding? As he walks back, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" *jingle lingle ling* Time to go. The motion detector once again clocks me as I exit. Everyone should dare to dream. For now, I must wake up.

The restaurant appeared to be severely understaffed, our server was also cooking, and it seemed like only one person was running the entire place. Because of that, service and cleanliness suffered a bit, and the tables and menus felt slightly sticky. I'd probably recommend takeout over dining in, but I also got the sense that this was more of a staffing issue than a lack of effort.

The tzatziki and garlic sauces were both excellent and really added to the meal. Both times I visited the same two people were working. It felt like a father and daughter team, which gave the place a nice family run neighborhood feel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and offered great recommendations.
