King Gyros: Olive Oil Gyro Temple

Most gyro joints drown everything in seed oil. King Gyros actually defaults to olive oil and family recipes from Greece.

July 25, 2026 About King Gyros

Olive-oil gyro temple, actual Greek not LARP.

The Take

Order the gyro plate or sandwich with extra tzatziki and Greek salad at King Gyros. It posts a Slop Score of 29 for using olive oil by default and skipping the usual industrial shortcuts.

Family-owned with an owner straight from Greece at the flagship, the spot keeps pita, rice, and salads simple like pre-1990 Greek spots. Fresh-cut fries and real feta seal the based status.

The Verdict

Buy the gyro plate or sandwich with extra tzatziki and Greek salad. Ask for the spicy variant or off-menu cucumber sauce if the owner is in.

Avoid fries only if fryer oil worries you; otherwise the olive-oil sides win. Slop Score: 29.
