BEST GYRO IN SEATTLE! Holy moly. I saw Nikos Gyros on Yelp and the menu looked legit, like what they would serve at an actual Greek spot, with items like mousaka and avgolemono soup. And gyros with not just the standard beef and lamb gyro meat or chicken, but leg of lamb and roasted lamb! I told my bestie about it who lives walking distance from the place and he said I just had to try it for myself.
I ventured out to north Beacon Hill for a much-needed break from WFH, and ordered takeout from Nikos Gyros. I ordered the roasted lamb gyro and Greek fries. Because of the outbreak, they ask that after you order at the counter inside the shop, you wait outside where an employee will hand you your takeout. It didn't take long to get my order.
Okay, so I drove back to Bellevue to chow down, so as you can expect, the fries were wilted down because everyone knows that you have to eat fries soon after they're fried. But whatever. They were fine. I don't even care that much because the roasted lamb gyro was AMAZZZEEEBALLLZZ! This is the best gyro I've ever had! First of all, the gyro was packed with roasted lamb, which was dripping from the natural juices of the perfectly cooked lamb. I also love that this gyro did not have any fuss from the typical lettuce that's on most gyros, but just red onion, tomato slices and tzatziki, which is the only toppings you need on this baby, because the meat is the winner here. ROASTED LAMB FOR THE WIN. I am telling you, you have to get this gyro! I had it yesterday and I already want another.
I'm looking forward to dining here though when the outbreak is finally over, as they have a nice seating area inside. The menu is straightforward with gyros, bowls, entrees and Greek sodas! It's also walking distance to much of the businesses on north Beacon Hill. Thank you whoever you are Nikos!
