Estiatorio Plaka · Greektown
Estiatorio Plaka serves a homemade pork gyro. The Greektown restaurant places that specialty within a broader Greek menu and a polished Eastern Avenue dining room. It offers a sit-down interpretation of the format while keeping the seasoned meat, bread, and accompaniments at the center.
Samos Restaurant · Greektown
Samos has sold gyros and souvlaki since Nicholas Georgalas opened it as a tiny Greektown carryout in 1977, and it still thrives as one of the neighborhood's Big Three with Ikaros and Zorba's. Customers order at a counter in front of the open kitchen, where Georgalas works the grill; no menu hangs over it, and regulars leave with bags of gyros, souvlaki and moussaka. The Oldham Street room is casual and closely tied to the neighborhood's dining identity.
Zorba's Bar & Grill · Greektown
One of Greektown's Big Three with Samos and Ikaros, still thriving on Eastern Avenue despite dwindling numbers in a city whose dining scene has changed immeasurably around it. Order a gyro and sit at the bar.
Karella's Cafe · Greektown
Karellas Cafe cooks pork souvlaki and gyros with family marinades in Greektown. The meat turns on a vertical broiler until crisp, then reaches the table in a room built around regulars and shared meals. A gyro here centers the cooking that helped the family keep this neighborhood cafe going.
