You say, “Being from Chicago, I am used to gyros that are packed so high with meat that you have to eat half the meat before you can make a sandwich out of it, and Christos does it just like that. I honestly think Christos has even better gyros than the ones I used to get when I lived up north.” and “Wonderful, mouthwatering meat and the best dressing you will ever have. Yummo!”

1. Cafe Agora
The AJC dining team’s Popular Eats specialist Jon Watson says, “Cafe Agroa, with its friendly and eccentric owner, consistently serves up my favorite gyro in town. While the prices seem to change depending on the day of the week, a trip to Buckhead for one of these no-fuss, classic gyros is certainly worth it.”

Grecian Gyro!! So good, amazing sauce, and no one else’s come close! (This includes the original Nick’s on Virginia Avenue and my favorite drive-thru in Tucker.)

Athens Greek Restaurant on Alpharetta Hwy. in Roswell… I live in Lawrenceville, but if I am craving a gyro I will find time to make the trek to eat the most delicious gyro I have found in metro Atlanta.

GYRO-GYRO on Winters Chapel Rd hands down has the best Gyro in Atlanta. There are a lot of other menu items available but I can’t help myself but to gravitate to the old faithful Gyro every time! The secret sauce is amazing too. I could put it on anything!

Gyro gyro is by far the BEST gyro in town. I’ve tried almost everyone from in town- Roswell sandy springs- no better gyro- no better service- and the other food is outstanding!

Nick’s Food to Go is THE best place for gyros and authentic Greek food on the fly. Family own and operated they don’t cut corners and its Greek as you can get outside of Greece. EVERYTHING there is amazing!!

Ali Baba’s on Broad St is good, and their shells are awesome, but Nick’s tzatziki is to die for on MLK @ Hill St.

And the CORRECT answer is Athens Pizza on Clairmonte Road. They are one of the few restaurants that make their own Tzatziki sauce, and that is a MUST to be even considered for best gyro. Also, my favorite pizza there has gyro meat and feta cheese with a side of tzatziki, YUM!

Athens pizza on Clairmont or Grecian Gyro. At Athens Pizza they will humor you and make them for you like they do in Greece, with the fries inside the gyro

After being a dedicated customer for twenty years (at their old place on Delk Road & current place on Terrel Mill) I will never go back to Christo’s. They literally were treated my grandmother horribly. Made her wait 30 minutes only then to tell her that they didn’t have her food in stock. When she tried to order something else, they didn’t have that either. The waiter admitted he should’ve told us thirty minutes prior and Christo himself was there. After the entire fiasco they insisted we pay for our appetizer. His brother (may he rest in peace) was a fantastic man. He would’ve never treated a customer, much less someone 90 years old that way! So disappointed…

Gyro Gyro is the best as it is the only place in the city offers Mahi Mahi, Falafel and Vegetarian Gyros.
Every person I sent there just loving it! Me? It is kinda my cantina…:-)))

Christos or now known as Kouzina Christos in Marietta is hands down the best gyro around. Try everyone else’s, then drive OTP & see why nobody can compare. I’ve tried gyro from all over & they are the best.
