They just opened one in Ellisville or Ballwin (whichever) on Manchester. I saw the Gyro sign and I jumped a lane so quickly to turn into the lot! I have been looking for authentic Greek for over 10years out West...so I go in and I instantly KNEW the gyro was going to be sensational. I do consider myself to be a gyro hunter...The place is nicely new, modern, and welcoming. The husband & wife or brother & sister duo are so cute and so nice. I ordered the classic gyro with feta cheese. I didn't order extra sauce so I could tell if this place was a keeper or not. I got home and it was EVERYTHING I could've hoped for.

Great to see a quality near-east style deli. A sharp, refined, family-run, single-shop type of...
Read moreLocated in the former Hamilton Jewelry store, Yiro Gyro shines as bright as any jewel. When I’m downtown around lunch time, a stop here is always a must. The best falafel in St Louis can be found here and I love that this is a family owned business. All ingredients are fresh and come together in an authentic recipe. I cannot force myself to try the other dishes because I enjoy the falafel so much. However, my friends have reported that the classic gyro, Doner Kebab, Ana’s Salad and other choices are splendid. Lunch only in a relaxed and friendly place across from the Old...
