Niko Niko's · Montrose
Chris Fetokakis opened this Montrose walk up window in 1977, and nearly 50 years later it still turns out gyros, kebabs, and rotisserie lamb across several area locations. Widely considered Houston's definitive Greek institution, its walk up window still drawing lines nearly 50 years on.
Athena's Greek & European Kitchen · Northwest Houston
Owner Maria Stefanakis, who learned to cook alongside her mother and grandmother in Greece, runs this northwest Houston kitchen with decades of family restaurant experience behind the counter. Gyros and souvlaki anchor a menu that has won over the suburbs.
Ekko's Greek American Deli · Woodlake
Tucked inside a working gas station, this counter turns out a moist, generously portioned gyro on soft pita with tangy tzatziki that has a cult local following. Mostly a to go operation with a handful of counter seats overlooking the pumps.
