    1. Lamb Gyro
    Michelle T.

    So good, so messy, as is expected of a good gyro. Absolutely hit the spot. Red sauce IS actually hot. Tread lightly

    I love coming here. We always get the large gyro fries and it's a meal for 2 people for under $20. The staff are kind and generous with their portions. It's very clean and the music is a bop. It's a great spot in TMC for food at a great price.

    Located in the medical center Gyro King is a great place for great food on the go. Parking can be limited at busy times however they have ample seating inside. We came here on our lunch break to grab some food and relax before going back. Service was fast and friendly.

    Gyro King is a place where I can constantly come back to and have the food reliable each time I go. The service is nice. There's usually only one person at the counter, but food comes out still quickly regardless. Ambience is nice. The benches are relatively clean And well lighted. I've been to this place more times than I can count and it's becoming one of the places I can get my comfort food.

    Randomly craved some chicken and lamb over rice for lunch and happened to be in the med center. We usually go to Halal Guys, but decided to try this place out instead. Place was easy to find with enough parking. You walk up to order your food, and they assemble your order right there where you can see it. I got the chicken and lamb, and my wife got the lamb over rice. Both dishes were very good. They gave us the sauces on the side and we basically just went ham on it. The favorite was definitely the lamb - very flavorful and not dry. The rice was also good without being too overpowering. Overall I think this place is a solid halal food option. There's several nearby, and for this place to turn from food truck to brick and mortar tells you they're doing something right:

    Came back to give Gyro King, the brick and mortar, another shot cause I was right in the area and didn't feel like driving over to the food truck! Nobody was here when I came in on a Tuesday for a late dinner! Placed my order and the guy got on it quick! Received the food fairly quickly and was on and out in about 5-10 mins! I ordered the lamb gyro and it was huge - filled with the appropriate ratio of filling! Always get sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy by the time I get home! Also ordered the lamb over rice platter with no salad! My toddler absolutely loves this dish and devours it, every single time and the portions have improved since the last time I've been here! Lamb was cooked well and the rice was flavored really nicely! Overall, I think they listened and made adjustments to accommodate, from the complaints I had previously! This warrants a 5 star cause the food is good, service was great, portion sizes improved and there's not much they could've done to make the experience any better! Kudos!

    My husband & I walked here from MD Anderson last night & were so impressed by the food & Robert's friendly service that we had to come back this evening! Last night we got a platter & shared it because it was pretty late already. Tonight we each got our own gyros & they did not disappoint! The lamb is so tender & all the other ingredients are very fresh. This place doesn't look like much from the parking lot but it is clean & pleasantly surprising on the inside. Robert treated us like old friends joining him at his home, taking pride in the restaurant, the food, and the service. Pretty sure this will be our go-to every time we have to come to the Houston medical center.

    Went here late night when no one was really there. It is located in an unassuming place and the windows were tinted so I thought they were closed. The lamb over rice was really good, but the gyro fries with chicken was extremely dry. I think halal guys is better

    This place is in a tucked in are in the medical center. Had lunch here and it's pretty good. My husband and I ordered the rice platters. The chicken was not too bad but my favorite is the lamb. The lamb is seasoned well and cooked perfectly. For the price of $13 each, the platters were a deal because it came with a lot of food! They offer I think 10% off if you order online for pick up. You can park in front of the place and their food came pretty fast. Will definitely come back here.

They had run out of beef ribs, so we ended up getting the pork chop instead, and it was really good! The mac and cheese with bacon was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The potato salad was a huge surprise, I'm usually not a potato salad person, but this one was a solid 10/10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was this French-style side (it looked like a giant turd ). It was a 0/10 for me. I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. The peach cobbler was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me compared to everything else. Overall, the food was incredible, especially the brisket. I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10, highly recommend!

The potato salad was hearty and good. Slicing the brisket! The workers were all so friendly!

We tried the turkey, brisket, and jalapeño sausage, and every one of them was delicious. The brisket was especially impressive--moist, incredibly tender, and so soft you didn't even need a knife to cut it. The sides were very good, but the meats were definitely the highlight of the meal. One thing we really appreciated was the toppings bar, which included pickles, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, and two different barbecue sauces so you could customize each bite. They even had a mini soft-serve ice cream machine for a little dessert after your meal, which was a nice touch. They also offer family meal options, making it a great choice for larger groups. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for excellent halal barbecue in the Houston area, Levant is definitely worth a visit!

All the servers were prompt and helpful and our food came out quickly. The korma chop was heavenly like last time - so well-flavored and savory! The beef was definitely a good choice.

This is a nicely sized spot next to the Jusgo plaza in Houston Chinatown, so plenty of parking and also food options. It's tucked in a corner but should not be written off. Its a pretty casual sitdown restaurant and we were welcomed and sat pretty quickly on a Saturday around 8:30PM. We were provided menus and started ordering everything that sounded good (within reason for 2, sorta). We ended up getting the Uyghur polo with lamb shank, Uyghur goshnaan, korma chop, garlic cucumbers, mint tea, and a yogurt for dessert. This was more than enough food for 2 but I wanted to try a bunch and this is me holding back. The Uyghur goshnaan was very crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy, good lamb flavor and nice spices. The Uyghur polo with lamb shank was great and the pilaf had a nice sweetness with raisins that cut through some of the fatty richness of the lamb. The korma chop was also super flavorful with a nice savory sauce and noodled with an excellent texture, very QQ. I don't usually order cucumbers at Asian restaurants cause I can make a cucumber salad pretty easily at home but the one here was very good. Excellent refreshing crunch and garlic flavor to go with all the other dishes. The mint tea was also nice to wash down the mountains of food I was inhaling. I also enjoyed the yogurt, it's a thicker yogurt like a Greek yogurt and topped with honey and raisins. Again, a nice sweet/tart treat that didn't feel too heavy after everything else. I definitely need to come back as I didn't even get my big plate chicken but it'll be hard to choose between all the options. I def recommend this spot, esp if you like lamb as all the dishes we had were excellent and priced fairly for the portion and current economic situation.
