There are those times when you just need to snarf a gyro. Is it the novelty of lamb or the exotic Middle Eastern spices? I can't explain it, but I was feeling the need for some righteous shaved gyro meat, tzatziki sauce and sliced onions crammed into a pita. This place did not disappoint. Niro's single gyro is generously stuffed with meat. And the meat is heavily seasoned, so you really get the spice you're hoping for. That's a gyro done right in my opinion. I developed a taste for these in the Sachsenhausen district of Frankfurt, Germany. They always had a gyro cart popping up in your path whilst trekking betweenst bars. Let's face it, even completely sober, a well-made gyro is a thing of beauty (and gluttony). The windows on this place are so heavily tinted, it's hard to tell if there's any activity inside. It was late afternoon, so I happened to be the only person ordering at the time. But while enjoying my meal, hungry stragglers popped in and out, proving to me that other serious gyro lovers make the trek here for gyros that are built to satisfy. read more

This place has changed owners over and over again...all so so. THIS new owner produces some of the best Mediterranean I've ever had. Everybody in this neighborhood should try this. This is a restaurant you want to support. Because it's as good as it gets. read more

First time trying this place. I was pleasantly surprised with the Greek burger. Can't wait to try the gyro fries next time.

I'd never had a gyro before Niro's Gyros and let me tell you: this place blew my mind! I've tried a few other places ever since and I always find myself returning to Niro's. The meat is super soft & tender and the tzatziki sauce compliments it perfectly. Couple that with an ice cold soda and crunchy Greek fries and you got yourself the perfect meal. Not in the mood for gyro? They have lots more food on their menu! Life tip from Xo: check out their website for discount coupons! read more

Very tasty food. Softest chicken I ever had. House made hummus is fresh and I recommond this place

Fabulous. I know this is a gyro place, but I get the chicken Picado pita. It has chicken, green bell pepper, onions and jalapeños on a pita with tzaziki sauce I believe. To die for! It has a little kick to it (which I love) and you can order it with a side of Greek fries (fries with feta cheese and lemon... Mm). My boyfriend gets the classic gyro. He loves it, but I'm just not a fan of gyro meat. I'm sure anyone who is would love it, though. It has very interesting interior and it is owned by a sweet couple from what I remember. If you like a little heat in your pita, order the chicken Picado. If not, keep it traditional with the gyro. You won't go wrong either way. read more

Ok! I would return. Nothing fancy that is for sure. Very simple. Ordered a gyro and Greek salad. Sauce for gyro is extra. Portions are fine. Taste is fine. Salad was fine. Again...nothing special but you cannot go wrong if you want simple and quick. In other words...nothing exotic. No special herbs. Etc. lots of parking. All self serve. read more

We got the gyro plate, some gyro wraps, and a side of grape leaves. No pictures because it was devoured immediately! Excellent customer service, and super fresh tasting! I would also recommend their baklava for dessert! read more

Gyros was horrible. Its not Chicago style as it said on the menu. Thats all that I ordered.

Had a craving for a gyro so of course we went to Niro's. We were shocked at the new decor and how they moved everything around. They have new seating and these chairs are hard metal and not very comfortable so we chose the new booth seating along the wall. I found the new menu confusing and hard to understand...like where did my gyro plate go?! We ordered the gyro with fries and a drink. The gyro came in a paper wrapper instead of foil. We didn't get as much meat as we used to get with be previous owners and it tasted like the new owners changed the sauce. I do like the new paint job all blue and white like the greek flag....undecided as if we will return read more

Niro's Gyros - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered a Italian beef with cheese. To my surprise I got hot cheddar cheese sauce in a small cup for .95. What the heck. Should be mozzarella cheese. Prob won't be going back again. Nice new furnishings tho. To bad. If their going to serve classics they should learn to make them right. read more

Was a great place before pandemic. Now, the portions are smaller and not the same flavor as before. Only 1 Greek olive in the salad and much less feta cheese in the salad . Dressing lacked true flavor, more like Italian salad oil. The lamb wasn't as flavorful and was in chunks rather than strips cut off fresh. read more

I probably order take out from here about once a week. I haven't had a thing that I didn't like. The prices are reasonable, and the food is made quick. read more

Place has gone down in quality (restaurant appearance, customer service & food) seems the new owners don't have as much pride in their work. We haven't been here in a long time since we moved to Chandler. We won't be making the drive again. Pita Heaven in Chandler is so much better but sadly they were not open on Sunday. read more

This place is great. Good food, great taste and the owner, cashier was very friendly. Definitely coming back. read more

Niro's Gyros is located in the Safeway Shopping Plaza. Niro's is a small family owned Greek and Chicago style eatery. Their hallmark is the Gyro meat which is not greasy like you find in many places. Niro's even makes their own house tzatziki sauce which is pretty tasty and the sandwiches are very large in fact their sandwiches are large enough for two. Niro's must be a local favorite from the looks of the line at lunch however, the service is fast and friendly. The prices at Niro's are very competitive. In fact, the average lunch costs less than what you would pay at many fast food chains. Good service, compare prices, and tasty food. Give this place a try if you're ever in the area. read more

Clean, fast, friendly, what I ordered looked like a meal for a picture in a magazine and enjoyed the entire place to myself. Clean bathroom with a fresh modern decor and a noticeable loyal "take out" clientele on a early Friday evening. read more

I'm posting this late; I stopped in a few Saturdays ago, roughly about 4:30. It was empty, which made me wonder why. You order at the counter & it's delivered to your table. After ordering, I noticed and heard a few things to make me have no desire to come back: 1) the trash bins are not in a good location; they are immediately behind you when standing at the counter placing your order. Having the trash so close to the food preparation just doesn't seem like a good idea to me. 2) One of the bathrooms was out of order and I heard the gal who took my order tell the guys preparing the food that she was going to use "their" bathroom, then I heard her exclaim "Disgusting!" seconds later. 3) I overheard those same guys use profane language and it sounded like they didn't care who heard. I have a foul mouth myself, I won't lie, but it's not something I want to hear from the people making my food and when children are in the area. 4) There was a crumpled up napkin on the windowsill by our table, with a squished bug sitting on top of it. The food wasn't bad, but with all of the above stuff, Niro's does not warrant a return visit from me. read more

Can I please tell you about Pauline and Theo? Our team was recently relocated to an area very near their restaurant, and we've stopped in for lunch a time or two. The service is quick, the food is fresh and filling and a great value for your dollar. We had a catering need and were tired of the regular pizza and mini-burrito platters, so we decided to give Niro's a shot at our lunch catering - what a great choice! Pauline was a delight on the phone, helping me to figure out exactly what would be needed for our group. She even offered suggestions for our vegetarian staff that didn't just include a salad. Next, Theo called the morning of our delivery to make sure that our order was correct, he was exactly on time with our food and even called back in the afternoon to ensure that we enjoyed everything. Customer service WIN! Come for the gyros. Check out the chicken. Have your fill of falafel. Ignite those tastebuds with some Feisty Feta Dip. It's all good. read more

We placed a to go order last night. They asked if i wanted rice of fries with the plate and I said fries. When we got home with the food, my meal had the rice. I called them about it and they said they would call me back so they could finish taking an order. I never heard back. I was wanting to come back for the fries, swap out the rice..whatever. My husband got the hummus with gyro meat bowl. There was an olive with a pit hidden under the meat in the hummus. It would be great if they put the olives on top where one could see them because it ended up being scooped in the pita and my husband unknowingly bit into it chipping his tooth. We called about this, too, and their reply was just 'sorry.' What is going on with this place??? read more

I'm very disappointed that first, I ordered extra tzatziki sauce and didn't get it. Secondly, and most importantly, I ordered a falafel ( vegetarian ) wrap. I got a gyro which was ok, but got a meat one. Unacceptable. Do I have to open each gyro on site to check? And why should I have to? I'm not sure about ordering again from this place. They will be contacted tomorrow to hopefully rectify this situation. read more

Slooooooow service, not only that but they don't care. This is a place that you might see on kitchen nightmares. Everyone from the cashier to the cook spend most of their time on the phones so the service suffers. read more

Excellent greek food! Very fast and convenient- never have had to wait long for my order. All staff is very friendly and willing to accomodate if you ask for special requests. Great place! read more

One of the best Greek menus! Great customer service, clean place. Highly recommended! read more

A must try if you are craving gyro this place will hit the spot!! Don't miss out if you are in the area

Best Gyro sandwich in the valley ! Very tasteful and generous in their portions ; you will absolutely leave full and happy . The garlic sauce is a must try . read more

This was my first time in, I came with my dad who comes all of the time. He ordered a chicken gyro and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. He was over the moon for his gyro and the bite I tried was very flavorful. My chicken sandwich was solid, but the fries were amazing! They were not as thick as steak fries but reminded me of them in the crunchy outside, soft potato heaven on the inside. A bit disappointed they charged $0.30 for ranch but it was worth it for the fries. I was reluctant to go because I don't generally care for Mediterranean but they have an extensive enough menu that I know I could find more on the menu that I would enjoy. read more

Little pricey but love the veggie pitas here. I love The owner and staff and very friendly and the service is very good. This place has definately been a staple for me to come back to because of the craving that always come back to return. read more

Boyfriend and I both got Gyros, absolutely delicious! Plus large for the price :) they got the order correct and it was on time- definitely recommend! read more

Just 2 words for you Italian Beef! If you are from the midwest and miss good Italian beef sammies GO HERE NOW! I used to go to Niro's at least twice a week when I lived in Champaign, IL. Niro's opened in an old Rally's just 2 short blocks from my house. I became friendly with the owners. About a year later told them I was moving and they wouldn't be seeing me anymore. They asked where too & I said Phoenix and they said they were opening one in Phoenix not sure where. Well I found you again Niro! Love the Italian beef it is what I am used to from Illinois thanx! read more

Very friendly staff with huge portions of gyro meat when you get the platters. The fries are thick-cut and also a generous portion, although they can taste a little mealy. The platter comes with warmed grilled pita, tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, and a cup of tzatziki sauce. I shared the double gyro platter, and found that we still had a heaping mound of meat after eating 1 pita's worth of gyro sandwich each! The double gyro platter is a little less than $11, and you can substitute chicken instead for $.75 per serving. read more

My sweetheart was working, so I found myself alone on a Saturday. Woohoo! After laying around the townhouse most of the morning, I decided to take a drive to get something to eat and shop at Costco in Tempe. For a year or so I've wanted to try out Niro's Gyros at the southwest corner of 48th Street at Elliot in Ahwatukee. The restaurant is located in a stand-alone building that must have been built and then abandoned by Pizza Hut. No matter, once inside it is clean, with brightly colored tables and chairs. The front counter is gleaming white tile. I ordered a double gyro plate, which includes "two toasted pitas served with a mountain of gyro meat with gyro sauce, tomatoes, onions, and fries on the side." After adding a large soda and hand over $12.71, I only had to wait five minutes for my number to be called. This is a casual eating establishment (i.e. plastic forks), so the gyro meat comes packaged within a white styrofoam container wrapped separate in white paper with the hot pitas and fries on the side. There is enough meat to overfill both pitas. I found the whole meal very tasty and enjoyable. read more

Love this place! Gyro Greek Salad is perfect every time. HUGE selection of Greek pastries, extensive menu of American favorites as well! If you haven't, you must; if it's been a while, get back there! read more

This is a good Gyro, but nothing absolutely amazing. I only tried the Gyro, and I will go back, but only if I am in the area. They don't put lettuce on their Gyro's, I had to ask for it and it cost extra (lame). read more

Niro's Gyros - Gyro extra sauce - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

This little hole-in-the-wall, located on the southwest corner of 48th Street at Elliot in Ahwatukee, serves the best gyros this side of the Atlantic. What qualifies me to make such a resounding statement? My husband and I have been to Greece several times and were married on the island of Corfu (in the Ionian Sea). If that isn't enough of an endorsement, our friends from Chicago also thought Niro's served the best Gyros -- and Chi-town has the largest congregration of Greeks (hence "Greektown") outside of Greece. But it isn't just the gyros that rock, I love any of their fried food too -- Mozerella Sticks, Onion Rings, French Fries. I don't know what kind of oil they use - but the taste is fantastic and they are fried to crispy perfection. The facility itself is misleading and unimpressive. If you can get over that, you'll find a tastey gyro winner. Don't keep driving by - stop in! read more

What an amazing family run business that serves no fuss food. They get brisk business and most people come in for takeouts. Both the chicken and the meat gyros are fresh, served on warm pita bread, daubed with tzatziki sauce and some interesting onion-tomato seasoning. The fries are hot and without any trace of staleness. The flaky, syrupy, nutty baklava is a must try- get it for take out, microwave it for 10 secs and enjoy the goodness!!! Derek r. has compare the place to Spices but I feel it is difficult to compare uniqueness, love Niro's for its own reasons and the same goes for Spices. read more

I needed a Greek place that had more seating than the BFG Express on Warner; long story - it was a birthday thing :) So we settled on Niro's (handpicked by moi, willing to try something new, and good ratings on Yelp) ... it wasn't half bad. I had the Gyro Salad, but wished I had the Gyro plate others had enjoyed. It just really looked good. The price is great, too. The owner introduced herself, and upon learning we were celebrating a birthday, graciously offered a few pieces of her baklava - heck no I didn't share. So, if you've cruised by thinking about it - give it a try :) read more

OK people, if you like Gyro's then you'll love Niro's. They treat the meat with care and apply alot to their Pitas. So much so you better get extra napkins and a fork! Hot Juicy and tons of flavor, they also have Italian beef, Chicken and Greek salads too. Great alternative to fast food, but they cater too. read more

My lady and I finally got around to eating here and did it disappoint. I ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich, she an Artichoke Chicken Pita Sandwich. First, the meat in my Italian Beef was bland, really bland. I was sprinkling salt on my sandwich. I can't remember any time I ever sprinkled salt on anything, after it was prepared. I opted for hot peppers over the sweet (Actually, I asked for hot & sweet but he said it'd cost more for both. Yeesh.). I didn't see or taste any. I asked for the sandwich to be dipped but I was expecting, y'know, an actual roll. The 'bread' must've been like those premium hot dog buns that Costco sells because it just mushed up, completely. That's probably what bummed me out the most because when your teeth just break the barely crusty exterior of that roll and the au jus bursts from the inside, that's what you get Italian Beefs for. Just mush at Niro's. I just asked my lady what she thought of her sandwich, "It was plain and didn't fill me up." Now, my girlfriend isn't the hearty eater that I am. She's pretty slim and rarely finishes anything. She's also allergic to onions so is used to having food that has no flavor (Heehee). For her to say those things, it's bad. We shared a side of fries and they were good, though. Not great. We won't be visiting Niro's again. I recommend Chizona's Pizza for a good Italian Beef, if you're in the Scottsdale area. read more

I never tried a hot dog from here so I can't really comment on the previous author's review. The fries are greasy, but aren't they suppose to be? However, I have eaten gyros here... about 25 times in the past 6 months. I get the chicken gyros which are excellent. The tzatziki sauce is awesome and the pitas are overstuffed with the meat, onions, and tomatoes. If you have a craving for gyros, I implore you to try this place. To top it off it is family owned so you won't be stuffing money into some corporate fat cat. read more
