Krilakis

My husband and I went here for lunch today since it is incredibly close to his office. There was plenty of room inside. (I think we were at the end of the lunch crowd.) We both ordered combos, filled our drinks and picked a table. Our food came out fast, and there was a lot of it! My grilled chicken gyro was great, and I love the sauce! My husband had the lamb, and it was really good too! Next time we go, we may only get gyros, because they are so filling by themselves. The fries are really good too, but I would have made myself miserable if I ate all of them. We will definitely be coming back again!

Nice atmosphere… Very good gyros. Don’t do a burger. Treat yourself to fresh. Shrimp … Chicken… pork… .its worth it!

Yooooooo. This place right here, it’s that crack! My and the roommate were lookin for a place to enjoy some good eats on a Friday night. He had eaten here before and suggested it. I’m so glad he got me hip to this place. The lamb gyro was on point. Best lamb gyro ya boi has ever had. I’ll definitely be back. They’ve gained a loyal customer.

Love love love this place! We’ve been going here since they opened in Byram. They are in Ridgeland now but we make special trips out there just to get salads. Always super nice people and the food is always awesome. Never had anything I was disappointed in.

I work just a few buildings down from Kriliakis and it’s my go to «oh man I’m hungry and forgot to pack a lunch» spot.
Just about every time I go I get the lamb gyro and I’ve never been disappointed. While I’m not exactly a gyro connoisseur, Krilakis’s is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a little messy, but that’s part of the fun.
I’ve never had the hamburgers, but my wife and mother have had them and loved them. They take a few extra minutes to come out because they’re freshly ground and made as you order then, but I’m assured it’s well worth it.

Always delicious! Usually do takeout and Get the veggie with cheese. But no fries too much carbs with them. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the pita is doughy inside. But something I can look past for the most part. Parking is sometimes difficult especially during lunch time since it’s right off Jackson avenue. Great place! Definitely one of my favorites for a quick bite

Krilakis is one of the better gyros I’ve had. The one downfall, and this is strictly personal, is that there is SO MUCH FOOD in such a tiny foil package that it’s hard to handle the gyro gracefully. Every bite will leave your face covered in tzatziki sauce. Their pita melt is also a good choice for an appetizer. It’s loaded with ooey gooey feta and mozzarella cheese. Really, everything I have had is good. The staff is always friendly and the food always comes quickly. They have a nice outdoor seating section that is shaded (which is a huge deal in this Mississippi heat!) and plenty of space inside as well. If you find yourself this particular area of Ridgeland, definitely give Krilakis a shot.

This is not the most authentic Greek restaurant, but for Mississippi I believe it’s the closest I’ve tasted.
The lamb is always fresh, food is cooked to order and they are super friendly.
I have had the burger, it’s not out of this world but it is good.
I usually have the lamb gyro without lettuce and tomatoes. It comes packed with lamb and the Tzatziki is above average, however I think it would help to put it on the side for to-​go orders. The warm lamb made the sauce warm and it lost some of its freshness.
For the serving size I think the prices are spot on.
Their fries are homemade from fresh cut potatoes, I love that!
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for a quick friendly taste of Greece in the Ridgeland, MS area they fit the bill.

Whenever I want to grab myself a salad, I always choose this place. The meat is perfectly grilled, and their salads are a #1 pick for any meal!

Best gyro I’ve ever had! I’ve never had lamb this tender. I went with a group for a mid-​week lunch and everyone was very happy with their meals. I had a small greek salad and an original gyro. The table also shared hummus/​pita, fries, and baklava (we were hungry!). Everything was amazing, except the hummus was a bit dry. Service was friendly and although it was busy the food came out quick. They have a nice menu with salads, burgers, appetizers, and a large selection of gyros from traditional lamb to chicken, pork, etc. Toppings, pita bread, meat was all very fresh, very flavorful. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating indoors and a small, shaded patio outside. This has to be the best Greek food I’ve ever had, and I travel a lot! I can’t wait to get back for another lunch… maybe tomorrow.

It was okaaaay. My Salad was way overdressed. Gyro meat was thin and crumbly. I ate all my food, but wished I went to Keifers the whole time. Servers were not in uniform making it difficult to figure out who worked there.

Being that it is only a block from my house, this place is by far the best Greek restaurant in the Jackson area! If you want to be blown away, go ahead and try the Greek Chicken Salad. Also, you can bring your own beer and wine.

Probably get take out from here at least once a week. I’ve had at least one of every gyro and they never disappoint. The only problem I’ve ever had with this restaurant is them forgetting to include tziki sauce in my order. By far the best Greek restaurant in the Jackson Metropolitan area.

I won’t keep this review long. All I have to say is that this is hands down the best Greek food in the Jackson area. It’s a small restaurant, good atmosphere, and very reasonably priced. Staff are great too. If you like Greek food and you haven’t eaten here, you should plan a visit.

I disagree wholeheartedly with the other reviews. My lamb gyro was closer to authentic than I’ve had in a long time. The lamb was chipped or shaved rather than cut in strips. The tzatziki sauce had the tang of greek yogurt with grated (not diced or minced) cucumber.

Pretty decent and served the purpose for a quick stop on the way to New Orleans. The lamb gyro was good if unremarkable. There is a write up of the place that talks about the tzatziki sauce being really good. Umm, ok, not really. Couldn’t taste it on the gyro as it was so mild. It was a decent overall though and seemed to be fresh. The hummus to me did not taste fresh and wasn’t very good. I would not order it again. Decent place though for a quick stop. The staff was very nice and the food came out very fast.

I was very pleased with the food and the service. Great place. Great atmosphere. Great for kids. We will be back.

I usually do not like reviewing places on just one visit. However, since I do not live anywhere near here I am going to go ahead and do one. Basically, I found this place via Unilocal and it’s really good reviews. I went in and ordered the combo that had a Lamb Gyro and a greek salad. The Greek Salad tasted pretty decent and the Lamb Gyro left quite a bit to be desired. The meat tasted almost unseasoned and the sauce they put on it did not have much flavor like I am accustomed to. Also, I asked that they add Feta cheese to the gyro. They charged me $ 1.50 to do so and put none on there. That really rubbed me the wrong way. I pointed this out to the girl at the front and she got me a small ramekin of it. It was actually some of the strongest feta I had ever tasted. A little too strong actually.
Other complaints I had were the fact that there was only 1 other table that had occupants in the place at 7:15 yet the floor was dirty with food and straw wrappers that were on the floor. There is no excuse for that in a slow restaurant. The unsweet tea was also terrible as it tasted like straight up water. They also charged my AMEX for a drink that I never requested as well. The total came to like $ 16.00. I left very full, but the food was not that great at all. Had the food been priced at about $ 10.00 I may have felt a little better about it. Sure my company was paying the tab but I spend company money as if it were my own.
Another turn off was the place was crawling slow yet my Gyro came out within 1 minute. It was warm which means that everything is precooked and just sitting under a heat lamp or above boiling water or something. Basically it is definitely NOT prepared fresh.
Based on my experience, I am giving it 2 stars which is pretty generous. Apparently many folks think they have awesome burgers. The other table that was occupied were eating burgers and they did look pretty good. My advise is to go with one of those because they have to be better than the gyros. If I come back to town I will definitely not be back.

Clearly, this is not run by a Greek family, because nothing is made on-​house, or authentic.
I got the hummus and pita starter, and they both looked, and tasted, like they were from a grocery store. The pita’s were really think and had been toasted so that the edges were almost crisp, and the hummus was so thick, and not whipped at all.
I also got the gyro and salad combo. The salad had two olives, and had thinly sliced soggy tomatoes. And it was saturated in dressing, rather than just drizzled and then tossed to get a good coating. And the gyro was just not very flavorful. It was about as bland as the hummus, and tasted more like onions than anything else.
I travel every week for work, and absolutely love Greek/​Mediterranean food, and eat it probably twice/​week while I travel. This was a huge disappointment.

Great place for lunch or a casual dinner. Order at the counter and choose a seat. They have a patio near a fountain that made for a very peaceful lunch. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. What sold it for me was the food! The gyro and fries were really good!!! Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and large portions for less than $ 10 with a drink is a steal. I will certainly be back and maybe even take advantage of the BYOB offer
