Gastro Mania SW Portland · Northwest District
Chef Alex Nenchev turns out gyros Willamette Week called almost certainly the finest in town, whether lamb spiked with jalapeno aioli or salmon brightened with balsamic. The Northwest District deli prepares its Mediterranean menu fresh daily, with the gyro as the signature order.
Nicholas Restaurant Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine · Central Eastside
Nicholas is a longtime Lebanese-Mediterranean institution profiled as Portland's first family of Lebanese cuisine, and it carries a classic lamb gyro alongside its mezze and hummus plates. Willamette Week reviewed it directly and readers named it their favorite Mediterranean restaurant, making it a durable, well-sourced anchor for the category.
Cedo's Falafel and Gyros · Sabin
A narrow, perpetually busy counter on Northeast Martin Luther King Boulevard with a cult following. Willamette Week's Cheap Eats guide joked that if you live or work in Northeast Portland there is a nine-in-ten chance you will see someone you know in the lunch line, and found the gyro sandwich full of perfectly spiced meat. The Jerusalem-style falafel, packed with tabbouleh and hot sauce, is the other signature. Order the gyro or a falafel plate with warm pita.
