Niko's Grill — Restaurant in Douglas

Had Gyro for Dinner from here — Five Stars!

Highly recommended.

A quintessential Greek street food, the gyro features seasoned meat—traditionally lamb, beef, or chicken—slow-roasted on a vertical rotisserie. As it turns before the heat, the outer layers crisp up while the inside stays juicy, basting in its own drippings. The meat is then thinly sliced and typically wrapped in warm pita bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables and tangy tzatziki sauce.

We ordered plain chicken gyros—no sauce, no toppings—and requested the pita in a pizza-style format, which the staff gladly accommodated. The pita was grilled to perfection, lightly salted, and served warm. The chicken, bare and unadorned, was incredibly flavorful—tender, spiced, and juicy. The simplicity of the dish allowed the real chicken flavor to shine.

Gyros share roots with Turkish döner kebab, Arab shawarma, and the Canadian donair. The name comes from the Greek gýros (meaning "turn" or "circle"), referencing the rotisserie’s motion. Interestingly, the English word "gyro" is a back-formation from the Greek plural gyros.

In Greece, it’s everyday fare—cheap, quick, and ubiquitous. Eating it feels like stepping into history. You can imagine Alexander the Great’s armies roasting meat on swords over open fires.

Whether as a quick street bite or a cultural journey, the gyro is a delicious tribute to Mediterranean tradition...

There are alot of kebab shops in douglas but niko's grill is the most special. I have tried all of them and although every one of them is good but niko's grill is somewhat better when it comes to customer experience. The best thing about them is they never shy away on giving you extra if you ask them, Even when you are ready to pay for it they dont worry about it and give you a lot extra without any extra charge. Their pita breads are very soft comapred to any other place and i think they are the only one who serve Falafel.. so all in all if you are craving for some good kebab with great customer experience then this is the...

It was my first time visiting Nikos Grill yesterday evening, I had a Doner Wrap, I must say I was struggling with my appetite before going here but this kebab hit the spot it was perfect, staff are very friendly even let me try the chilli sauce first to see if I liked it.

This business doesn't promote enough as the best Kebab house on the Island clean and hygienic I highly recommend you to try Nikos Kebab...
