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.”

Of course Nick’s to go… come on people! You obviously haven’t had the gyro from Nick’s! The gyro is heavenly, both the lamb and chicken. Actually I have not eaten at any place here in the US that got the chicken gyro remotely right. When I miss home, I just swing by Nick’s and get my fix

The best place in town to get the Gyro is BY FAR Athens Pizza in Decatur, off Clairmont Rd. I travel to Atlanta often for work and no matter where I am in conjunction to Athens Pizza, I ALWAYS stop to eat there. The authentic feel of being in Greece combined with the amazing taste of food is out of this world. The Gyro that Mrs. P. makes is just like the ones I eat when I travel abroad to Greece. Not to mention the other dishes in the restaurant are top notch. I highly recommend the Gyro at ATHENS PIZZA to anyone in the Atlanta area. If I can travel from Florida just to eat one, then you should make the 25 minute drive to try it for yourself!!!

Christos! Best Gyros ever, so large you can barely wrap your hands around it and you can’t help but eat it all.

Christo’s…moved to their new location on Power’s Ferry, but the gyro remains as consistently good as it was at the old location.

Christo’s in Marietta is awesome. The pita is nice and warm and the tiziki (sp.) is so good.

Christos in Marietta off of Terrell Mill and Powers Ferry Rd has the best gyros in Atlanta without a question. 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. My fiance and I eat here a few times a month. It’s family owned and the customer service is top notch!

Athens Pizza in Decatur! Their Tzatziki is probably the best in the city, and they actually give you a great sized portion, and don’t skimp on anything! They’ve been doing it right for 35 years now

Up to now, my very favorite is Grecian Gyro http://www.greciangyro.com/, with the convenience of drive-thru, also!!!

Love Grecian Gyro – a lot of people here are calling it Nick’s – he’s the founder but they are the folks in Hapeville (on Virginia Ave), in John’s Creek, in Tucker and Forest Park.

Nick’s Food to Go in downtown Atlanta has the best gyros. Best value for your money, too. And great tzatziki sauce!

BLU in Marietta by the square, great atmosphere, clean and they are the only ones that grill the Gyro meat! I have been going there once or twice a week for the past 6 years! Delicious.

Christos on Terrell Mill Road is the best gyros I have had in the ATL-area. Perfectly tender with the right mix of seasoning!

Without a doubt the best gyro is Christo’s near Dobbins on Terrell Mill. Well worth the drive to Marietta from Peachtree City!

I used to love Gyro Wrap Cafe on N. Druid Hills Road but since they have since closed down my favorite Greek/Gyro in the metro area is Christo’s near LA Fitness off Delk.
Their Greek potatoes make me yell OPA!!!

Kouzina Christos – reasonable prices, great service and outstanding food.
John Kessler needs to do a review – and soon! Nah, on second thought it may send the masses to this hidden gem in Cobb!

My vote goes out to Christo’s for best Gyro and Heirloom BBQ for the best BBQ in the greater ATL area!

Kouzina Christos off Powers Ferry Road at Terrell Mill Road. I’ve tried the others — Christos is the best. Worth the drive if it’s far.
