Providence, RIGyros

A Greek concept from chef Panagiota Agganis, cooking traditional dishes handed down from her parents, including dolmas and a braised pork gyro finished with yogurt. Rhode Island Monthly gave it the Greek Grandma Cooking nod in its 2026 editors' picks, for housemade dips and flatbreads, gyros and handcrafted ice cream desserts, and its March 2026 feature describes the setup as a restaurant residency inside Courtland Club, sharing the same West End address as the cocktail bar around it.

Rhode Island Monthly's guide to the state's diners points here for the gyro sandwich, the souvlaki plate and the Greek omelet, because the owners who opened the room in 2004 have Greek heritage and cook those dishes the way they learned them. Everything else is straight diner: breakfast all day, omelets and breakfast burritos, shepherd's pie and pasta, served across a wide floor of vinyl booths with an active coffee counter and classic rock on the stereo.

Rhode Island Monthly's guide to the region's Mediterranean restaurants points here for wraps of the gyro, kabob, shawarma, veggie and pesto variety, alongside jedra, falafel and hummus starters and classic Greek salads. The counter sits on Fortin Road near the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, at the southern edge of the Providence metro, and the owners run a second location in Middletown. Order the gyro wrap, or a plate of your chosen meat with pita bread, rice pilaf, sauces and salad.
