My wife and I discovered King Gyros when we moved to Columbus 13 years ago. I was born on a Marine base with a restaurant run by a Greek couple who opened it in 1950. My father befriended the owner, who spoke very little English at the time and they traded English lessons for Greek food. They are still friends today and I ate there often growing up. The owner personally delivered food to my mother in the maternity ward hours before I was born, so I guess you could kind of say it was my first meal.
With due respect to the Greek cuisine of my youth, King Gyros reminds me of home. From the gyros and stuffed grape leaves to the baklava, everything is fresh and fast. Don't let me forget to plug the cabbage rolls and lamb as well.
Bring an empty stomach — you're going to need it.
Pros: Personal service and friendly staff
Cons: I don't live next door
