4 Best Greek Restaurants near Bronx

“I honestly don’t know how it has taken me this long to write a review for Gyro King. I could have sworn I already did. I’ve been coming here since high school, and we are NOT going to discuss how many years ago that was as a tear slowly rolls down my cheek. 😂

The best part? One of the same guys is still working here after all these years and actually remembers me. I love that!

Gyro King is a true Bronx staple. If you’ve never been, get up and go. It’s conveniently located about a block from the 4 train at Fordham Road.

Now, if you’re driving, welcome to Fordham Road. Parking can be a mission. Somehow, I almost always manage to find a spot right outside. At this point, I’m convinced it’s fate.

Inside is pretty tight, but it’s well lit and has a long counter where you place your order, grab your food, pay, and keep it moving. There are also a few tables and chairs outside if you want to sit and eat.

The menu is HUGE. They have just about everything you could imagine. On this visit, I grabbed the Gyro Platter, Beef Shish Kebab, French fries, and a few slices of their Gyro Pizza.

The Gyro Platter was exactly what I remembered. A huge portion loaded with seasoned lamb gyro meat, lettuce, onions, tzatziki sauce, and pita bread. Filling, flavorful, and a classic for a reason.

The Beef Shish Kebab had a great smoky flavor, although this particular order was a little fattier and chewier than I would have preferred. The flavor was definitely still there, but the texture could have been better.

Now let’s talk about one of their newer creations, Gyro Pizza. After all these years, somebody decided gyro meat and pizza needed to meet, and whoever made that decision deserves some recognition. 😂

They take a cheese slice, pile seasoned shredded lamb gyro meat on top, and finish it with their creamy tzatziki sauce. It sounds simple, but it WORKS. Savory, cheesy, meaty, creamy, and ridiculously satisfying. I’ve ordered it three times now, and it has been delicious every single time. Definitely give this one a try.

Will I be back? After coming here since high school, I think we already know the answer. Absolutely.

And now they finally take Apple Pay, so I don’t even have to remember to bring cash anymore. Welcome to the future, Gyro King! 😂“

“It was our first time at this place, and we really enjoyed it! We ordered the octopus, and it was delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also tried the tilapia, which came with a delicious tomato-based sauce. The rice, mushrooms, and everything else were really good. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!“

“Delicious fresh Greek salad and spinich pie. Tasty baklava. Love this food, so fresh and fast delivery! Reasonable too!“
