Grecian Gyro is a Greek restaurant chain founded in 1982 by Nick Koulouris in Hapeville, Georgia, built around a secret sauce recipe that remains in use across all locations today. The business has expanded to six metro Atlanta restaurants: Dunwoody, Forest Park, Hapeville, Midtown Atlanta, Snellville, and Tucker, establishing a widespread presence across both intown neighborhoods and suburban communities.
The menu centers on gyro wraps featuring thinly sliced gyro meat, onions, tomatoes, and Nick’s Famous Grecian Sauce. Additional core items include steak plates made with marinated beef tenderloin tips, Greek salads with feta cheese and kalamata olives, spanakopita, hummus, and a “Build Your Own Grecian Bowl” option. House-made desserts include baklava and a Baklava Nutella Sundae. Grecian Gyro also operates Izzy’s Ice Cream as part of its brand portfolio.
Catering services are available through EZCater for events across the metro area. Service formats at each location include dine-in, takeout, and delivery. Most locations are open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM; the Hapeville original opens at 10:00 AM on weekdays, and the Forest Park location closes at 8:30 PM on weekends. Online ordering is coordinated through Chowly’s platform for pickup and delivery across all six sites.
Customer reviews cited on the site emphasize quality ingredients, notably crispy potatoes, friendly staff, and generous portion sizes. Reviewers note meals are available for under $20, positioning the restaurant as an accessible everyday option alongside its catering capabilities. The Hapeville flagship can be reached at 404-762-1627.
With more than four decades of continuous operation since the original Hapeville opening, Grecian Gyro has built a multi-location presence across the Atlanta metro, serving both longtime local regulars and new customers across Dunwoody, Midtown, Tucker, Snellville, Forest Park, and the original Hapeville location near Hartsfield-Jackson.
