Soulard Gyro — Restaurant in Plano

When I moved back here from NYC, the first thing I thought was, “I’m going to miss my friends.”

The second thing I thought was, “where the hell am I gonna get doner?”

Back in NYC, I had the luxury of eating doner 3-5 times a week. My friends begged me to choose something else but for me it was doner, sushi, lanzhou lamian, chicken over rice, or hipster Taiwanese food. I became depressed during my first year back- apart from the Asian and Mexican dishes from my childhood here, nothing “slapped.”

When my partner told me about Soulard, I was hesitant. I’ve been disappointed by all the doner and shawarma places that opened up here in recent years. Even German Doner Kebab and Shawarma King were just reminders that maybe I didn’t deserve good doner/shawarma- maybe if my resume was better, I would still be eating doner 3-5 times a week in my favorite city with my favorite friends.

We went and I ordered a doner at Soulard Gyro and I wanted to cry. It was the closest thing to the ones I had in Brooklyn- the perfect blend of yum, sauce, crisp veggies, with the doner bread. The owner even offered me a baklava afterwards.

So I came back. Again and again. And every time, I hear the same comments:

“This is the best doner in Dallas and I lived in Europe!” “Did you hear that? That guy lived in Europe and he thinks this is the best one!”

I no longer feel like leaving Dallas because now I have everything that I missed in NYC- minus my friends, walkable streets, and hipster...

I really wanted to try this place during Ramadan but they close at 9pm so few days ago I finally did and it lived up to my high expectation.

I recently visited Soulard Gyro Plano, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of.

The highlight, of course, was the food. The gyro was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender meat wrapped in a warm, soft pita with a generous helping of fresh veggies and tangy tzatziki sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and I couldn’t get enough. They also offer a great selection of sides and appetizers, and the falafel was crispy on the outside and soft inside—just perfect.

The portion sizes were incredibly generous, and I left feeling full but satisfied. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. Whether you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or new to the flavors, Soulard Gyro Plano is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu options!

Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Mediterranean food in a cozy, inviting setting. Five stars...
