5 places to get a great gyro in Las Vegas

Paymon’s Mediterranean Cafe & Lounge

Paymon’s was a trailblazer in Las Vegas — opening near UNLV way back in 1988 — and the reasons for its longevity include its gyros, served in classic style. Smart people get an order of Paymon’s addictive Athens Fries on the side.

Paymon’s Mediterranean Cafe & Lounge, 4147 S. Maryland Parkway, paymons.com; also at 8380 W. Sahara Ave.

Kyklos Greek Cafe

You probably wouldn’t expect much from a mall food court restaurant, and in most cases you’d be right, but Kyklos is an exception. And their gyros are not only good but varied — available regular, as Gyros Supreme, with chicken, Philly-style and veggie.

Kyklos Greek Cafe, Galleria at Sunset, 1300 W. Sunset Road, Henderson, 702-450-1515 or kyklosgreekcafe.com

The Halal Guys

People in New York seem to line up for everything, but in the case of The Halal Guys it’s understandable. And you probably won’t have to line up in Las Vegas to experience their pillowy pitas stuffed with moist meat served by a staff that takes customer service seriously.

The Halal Guys, 3755 Spring Mountain Road; 702-848-6162, thehalalguys.com

The Great Greek

You can get your gyro here with just red onions and tzatziki; order the signature version and you’ll add lettuce and feta. You can even get a wrap if you have something against pita. At any rate, what you’ll get is a variety of flavors, textures and colors that appeal to all of the senses.

The Great Greek, 1275 W. Warm Springs Road, Henderson; 702-547-2377

Stephano’s Greek & Mediterranean Grill

The Cheese Gyro at Stephano’s ups the ante with a generous scoop of feta adding salty and creamy notes to the usual beef-and-lamb combo, with crunchy tomatoes and onions and zip from tzatziki.

Stephano’s Greek & Mediterranean Grill, 10612 S. Eastern Ave. in Henderson, stephanoslv.com; also at 4632 S. Maryland Parkway
