Master Critic Review
Love 'N Gyros
7.6
A counter-service gyro shop running clean-label certified, locally sourced meats through a tight format of pitas, plates, and hand-cut fries with house-made sauces. The lamb gyro is the anchor order—well-seasoned, generously portioned, stuffed with fries inside the pita in the Greek street style—and the baklava closes meals above its weight class. The physical space is basic and shows some wear, and quality can vary by visit, but when it hits, this is one of the more honest fast-casual Greek executions in Miami.

What makes it special: Miami's first dedicated Greek gyros boutique using clean-label certified, locally sourced, antibiotic-free meats with hand-cut fries and all house-made sauces — a rare commitment to ingredient transparency in fast-casual Greek.
Who should go: Street food lovers seeking authentic, no-frills Greek in Wynwood
When to visit: Wednesday or Thursday lunch for shortest waits; closed Monday and Tuesday
What to order: Go with the Lamb Gyro Pita — fries come stuffed inside the wrap for added crunch — and get the Fit For Gods sauce on the side for dipping. Add a side of Greek Fries to share. Save room for the Baklava, which is generously sized.
Insider tip: There's free parking behind the building — a rarity in Wynwood — so skip the street parking hunt entirely.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Free parking available in a small lot behind the restaurant—a real perk in this part of Miami. Street parking and nearby paid garages are also options. The free lot fills up during peak hours, so arrive early or use the street.
Dress code: Come as you are—this is a fast-casual counter-service spot. Shorts, t-shirts, sandals all perfectly fine. You're ordering at a counter and eating off a tray. Zero pretension.
Noise level: Casual and lively—Greek music plays in the background, and the small space means you'll hear neighboring tables. Not a place for a hushed conversation, but perfectly fine for catching up with friends over gyros.
Weekend wait: No reservations taken—it's counter service. Food is made to order, so expect 10-20 minutes for your meal during busy Friday/Saturday evenings. Lines can form but move quickly.
Weekday lunch: Typically 5-10 minutes from order to food in hand. Quick and efficient.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—falafel gyro and falafel plate are the go-to options. Greek salads (Horiatiki), spanakopita (spinach-feta phyllo pie), hummus, and tzatziki round out the vegetarian choices. Enough variety to have a satisfying meal.
Vegan options: Limited—falafel with tahini dressing (no yogurt-based sauces) is your best bet. Hummus is available. Salads can be modified to remove cheese. Call ahead to confirm current vegan-friendly options as the menu evolves.
Gluten-free options: Not specified online—gyros are served in pita, but you can order a plate or bowl format to skip the bread. No GF menu markings found. Call ahead to confirm: (305) 549-8802.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No — this is a fast-casual counter-service spot, not a date-night destination. You order at the counter (they use self-ordering kiosks), the space is small, and the vibe is casual grab-and-go. There's no table service, no cocktails (they serve beer), and the ambiance is functional rather than romantic. That said, it could work for a very low-key, "let's grab a quick bite" early-dating scenario if both people are casual and food-focused. But for a proper first date, look elsewhere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — no reservations needed or accepted. This is a walk-in, counter-service operation. Order at the counter or self-service kiosk, grab a seat, and your food comes out quickly. During peak lunch hours it can get crowded given the small interior, so you may need to wait briefly for a table to open up. Off-peak times (early lunch, weekday afternoons) you'll have no trouble. Closed Tuesdays. Hours vary — generally 11:30 AM to 10 PM on weekdays, noon to 10–11 PM on weekends. Monday hours may vary — not confirmed consistently across sources, so call (305) 549-8802 to verify.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — this is a great pick for kids. The casual counter-service format means no pressure to sit quietly through a long meal. The menu features familiar, kid-approved items: gyro pitas, hand-cut fries (Greek fries are a crowd favorite), and Greek frozen yogurt for dessert. Reviewers have specifically mentioned bringing children who loved it. The portions are generous, and the quick turnaround means minimal wait time for restless kids. The space is small but casual enough that kid energy won't be an issue.
Is it good for groups? Limited — the interior is small with modest seating capacity. Fine for groups of 2–4, but anything larger will feel cramped, especially during peak hours. There are no large communal tables, no private dining options, and no special group booking services. For groups of 5+, consider ordering for takeout or delivery instead. The counter-service format means everyone orders individually, which can be convenient for casual friend groups but isn't set up for a coordinated group dining experience.
Is there outdoor seating? Limited — there are a few small tables on the sidewalk outside the restaurant. No cover, no heating, no dedicated patio space. The sidewalk tables are fine for fair weather but not a meaningful outdoor dining experience. The interior has a decent amount of seating for its size but reviewers note it can get hot inside, particularly if the AC is struggling. Free parking is available in the back of the building, with street parking and nearby garages as additional options.
Best For
Better for: Authentic, no-frills Greek street food at an honest price point. This is where you go when you want a legit gyro—hand-shaved meats, locally sourced, clean-label certified, zero preservatives—without the sit-down restaurant markup. The lamb gyro and hand-cut fries are the stars. Also great for a quick Wynwood lunch that won't blow your budget.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a sit-down dining experience with cocktails and ambiance—this is counter service with a casual vibe. No alcohol served. Also closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. Some reviewers note the space could use cosmetic updates, and portion-to-price ratio has drawn mixed opinions.
