Platia Greek Goodness · North Charleston
Platia won Best Gyro in Charleston City Paper's 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, beating out Kairos Mediterranean for the title with a menu that runs to gyros, Mediterranean bowls and falafel wraps. The North Charleston restaurant has built a following well beyond its strip mall storefront on Dorchester Road.
Stella's · Cannonborough
Stella's took Best Greek honors in Charleston City Paper's 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll and Best Gyro back in 2020, serving rustic modern Greek cooking out of a Cannonborough storefront on St. Philip Street. The restaurant has held its standing across two separate readers' polls six years apart.
Kairos Mediterranean · West Ashley
Kairos placed runner-up for both Best Gyro and Best Greek in Charleston City Paper's 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, cooking out of a West Ashley kitchen that runs without commissaries or freezers. It had already placed runner-up for Best Gyro back in 2020, a standing it has held onto since.
My Big Fat Greek Trailer · Mount Pleasant
Owner Panagiotis 'Pete' Kakaziotis, whose family ran a Pennsylvania diner for 17 years, stacks pork belly on a vertical spit for the gyro at this Mount Pleasant food trailer. The Post and Courier calls it the hot dog of Greece, and the truck keeps a fixed parking spot on Coleman Boulevard for lunch and dinner service Wednesday through Friday.
