“I have been going to Gyros House for years, and have never had a bad experience. It's my go-to for gyros, and (in my opinion) the best option in the Parkway Plaza food court.

The food is reasonably priced and amazing quality. The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, hot, and tender. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The pita is soft, warm, and flavorful. The sauces are perfect. The portions are big and very much worth the cost. The french fries are crispy and light, always hot and perfectly salted.

The customer service is incredible. The man who always makes my gyros always has a smile on his face and puts a smile on mine. Same with the woman who sometimes works the register. They are kind and helpful.

Very lovely people, very good food, great prices. Much better than the chain gyro places around.“

Served with Pita Bread, Grilled So when I got home I find out there is only 4 Ground Beef kabob and 4 chicken Tikka And that was so embarrassing for me because I invited 5 people for lunch That was really bad experience“

“My visit to Nahrain Fish & Chicken Grill was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The customer service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Iraqi Masgoof , which was prepared to perfection. The fish was incredibly fresh, beautifully seasoned, and cooked just right. Each bite was a delight, showcasing authentic flavors that transported us to Iraq.

I can't recommend Nahrain Fish & Chicken Grill highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Iraqi cuisine in a welcoming environment. It's truly a gem worth visiting again and again.“

“(Translated by Google) I advise all Arabs to try eating their money! Their best grill! In our eyes, the taste is Baghdad, the grilled chicken and sumo make it masgoof so that the smell of firewood has it, and the kebabs are crazy(Original)‫ أنصح كل العرب يجربون الاكل مالتهم! اطيب مشاوي عندهم! عيناً الطعم ابغداد، الدجاج المشوي والسمج يسووه مسگووف بحيث ريحة الحطب بيه ، والكباب ايجنن‬‎“
