Beef & Chicken combo platter

Delicious and healthy fresh food. Best gyro meat in Houston. My Pops and I look forward to stopping here every time he visits MD Anderson. No matter what the doctor says, we always have something to look forward to when we're done. That means more to us than I can explain. The staff and food are top notch. You gotta swing through!

1. Lamb Gyro

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:

8. Lamb Over Rice Platter
Ivy L.

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!

1. Lamb Gyro
Cindi H.

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

Good food, kinda pricy (but what isn't these days). Paying in cash helps reduce the charges considerably.

While the wine selection and date friendly vibes were good selling points, the subpar service, high prices, and average food made for a less than stellar experience. These factors likely contributed to their recent closure, which is unfortunate. The interior was modern and intimate. High ceilings and large mirrors made the place feel more spacious than it was. It was a nice vibe that made the place visually appealing and date friendly. The brick walls, nice decor pieces, and ultra clean bathrooms were a big thumbs up. But vibes can't save poorly executed food. The octopus was dry and overcooked, the potato croquettes were a bit disappointing, as was, the trio of of dips. The souvlaki was supposed to be their most popular dish, but after trying their ribeye, pork, and chicken, it was simply too bland and not up to par. The gyro platters did not fare much better and the lamb chops were under seasoned. The lemon potatoes needed way more lemon but the only dish that was acceptable was the spanakopita (aka spinach pie). It was all overpriced, especially given the modest portions. Service was often aloof or nowhere to be found. When the nice woman butchered souvlaki and spanakopita, my gut was already in cringe. At least there was discount for cash. While I am saddened by their departure, I take comfort in knowing there are better options available in the city.

We actually went to a different Fadi's looking for cabbage wraps and koussa (stuffed zucchini), but they had a much smaller spread so we drove 15 minutes to Meyerland and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The hack at Fadi's is to go half-half so you get a slightly smaller portion of 2 side dishes that counts as 1 side. I had the babaganoush, muhammara, mushroom salad, and rice as my 2 sides (each 1/2 portions) and the lamb kabob for my protein. My wife had the spanakopita, cabbage wraps and stuffed zucchini. Loved it all. The restaurant was packed, but there was still plenty of seating and we found a nice quiet area to enjoy our meal. It's always a great experience at Fadi's Meyerland.

Came with family for the first time and we were so overwhelmed by not just the food options but also by the friendly staff! Pro tip: don't get too excited too early because you will absolutely miss out on the rest of the options. Take a stroll down the line to look at all the possibilities before committing. That said, you can't go wrong with anything at Fadi's - great food, balanced flavor, home-style service :) We'll definitely be back - cheers, Fadi's!

We usually substitute the rice for Persian salad. Diced cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions with a Persian dressing. My favorite. For something different, try the fesenjan. Chicken served with a pomegranate, walnut and saffron stew served with basmati rice. So tangy and sweet. Love this one! Add some hummus, whipped feta or warm eggplant dip while you wait for dinner.

I must say I have to echo her review, as we were blown away by the flavors. The restaurant was packed, and the decor was fancy but comfortable. One look at the interior and clientele already convinced me this place would be authentic. We opted to try 2 different combos, the Kasra and seafood combo, so we could share and try a bit of everything. It's hard to pick a favorite, all the proteins were flavorful and tender. The rice was a whole talking point just by itself. I often get bored with plain old white rice, so I'm glad Kasra seasons their rice well. The portions were very generous as well, they left me full after cleaning up that whole plate. This was an excellent introduction to Persian cuisine for me, we got lucky that we chose a place that would leave a great first impression!
