The Best Souvlaki and Gyros in Toronto

The best souvlaki and Gyros in Toronto represent Greek food at its finest, typically signified by tin foil, styrofoam and lots of eating with your hands. In this city, we like to wrap our gyros and souvlaki in pita and accompany them with lots of tzatziki, but there's no wrong way to eat these delicious meats.

Here's the best souvlaki and gyros in Toronto.

5 - Fat Lamb Kouzina

This place steps from Yonge and Bloor is secretly where to find some surprisingly high-end Greek food, including loaded slow-roasted herb pork gyros served on pita with scratch tzatziki.
8 - Tzatziki Restaurant

This restaurant on Pape serves chicken and pork gyros and souvlaki, the gyros stuffed to the brim and loaded up with fries.
10 - Florida Greek Restaurant

Located on Pape, this restaurant is reliable for gyros and souvlaki made using fresh chicken and pork, but food cooked on an outdoor spit on certain days is a great bonus. The tzatziki here is made using an old traditional family recipe.
9 - The Original Gyro Grill

The handcrafted gyros at this spot in the Annex come in chicken, lamb and pork varieties and are served as plates, salads or in boxes with tzatziki and pita. Chicken, pork and lamb souvlaki are served as skewers and on salads. There's also a Danforth location.
6 - Square Boy

Though this late night Danforth spot with massive sign is known for burgers and milkshakes, the retro joint still serves a mean souvlaki meal or gyro on a pita.
3 - Messini

At this Danforth spot, you'll find fat gyro wraps with puffy pita, wedgy fries and thick slices of tomato, with all meats shaved from a spit. The cheapest options will only cost you five bucks.
7 - Greek & Co. on Queen

Locations of this place in the PATH and on Queen West serve up signature chicken gyro wraps stuffed with fries and sprinkled with paprika, as well as chicken souvlaki.
11 - Oh My Gyro!

One of the few popular Greek joints not in Greektown, this John Street restaurant serves chicken gyros and souvlaki as wraps or plates.
4 - Souv Like

This place across the street from Pape subway station is climbing the gyro and souvlaki chart with Greek food fans by serving gyros and souvlaki as wraps, dinners or salads. They even do gyro poutine.
