From a Single Bite to Tulsa’s Table
Gyros by Ali started with one unforgettable gyro in New York City and grew into Tulsa's most-loved Mediterranean spot — built on generational recipes, house-made sauces, and a genuine love for feeding people well.
Gyros By Ali | Our Story
The First Bite
Twenty years before Gyros by Ali opened, Ali tasted a gyro in New York City — slow-roasted meat, warm pita, bright cooling sauce — and couldn't let the memory go. That single bite planted the seed for everything Gyros by Ali is today.
From Food Truck to South Lewis Avenue
The dream started on wheels, rolling through Tulsa's streets and earning a loyal following one order at a time. When the Oklahoma Gazette, Tulsa World, and Tulsa Kids came calling, the city was ready — and the sit-down restaurant on South Lewis Avenue was born.
The Craft in Every Dish
The kitchen runs on generational recipes: house-made sauces, carefully spiced meats, and 100% Halal-certified ingredients from first prep to final plate. Inventive dishes like the Pitadilla show what happens when deep culinary roots meet genuine curiosity.
Everyone's Welcome Here
Gyros by Ali was built to be a gathering place — big enough for celebrations, warm enough for a quiet weeknight dinner. Regulars talk about the staff like family, and that feeling is something the team works hard to earn every day.
