Gyros, souvlaki, hummus, baklava, and fresh Greek salads
"Even though Ekko’s is nothing more than a counter and a few tables inside a Valero gas station, there's enough bright blue paint on the walls that you could pretend you’re looking out on the Mediterranean Sea. This Galleria spot operates a mostly carryout business with folks lining up for beef souvlaki kebabs with pita warmed-to-order and massive salads with dressing you should consider taking extra home extra of. Plus, if you stare into Ekko's deep blue walls for a few minutes, you may catch the scent of sea spray." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"This straightforward counter is tucked inside a Galleria-area convenience store, making it the definition of a hidden gem. Known for its Greek dishes served fast and at a seriously cost-conscious price, its gyro sandwiches are packed full of meat. Choose from chicken or its lamb and beef combo — a bargain at $8." - Brianna Griff
"Ekko's Greek American Deli proves that only some things near the Galleria require taking out a second mortgage to afford. The small counter in the back of this gas station serves gyros for $9, burgers for $9.50, and double portions of souvlaki over potatoes with warmed-to-order pita for $14, for which you’ll need a to-go box. Ekko’s also has a tiny dining room painted a deep blue. Staring into that color long enough counts as a mini-vacation, and they don't even charge extra for that." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Don’t let the fact that it’s housed inside a gas station convenience store deter you — Ekko’s offers quality Greek cuisine at a wallet-friendly price. The menu is simple and satisfying, with fresh Greek salads, overstuffed gyros, falafel sandwiches, and baklava for a sweet finish to a meal." - Brittany Britto Garley
