John’s Grecian Delight

Simple, had to hunt a little bit to find it. It’s downstairs but quaint, authentic, and delicious!

The best greek food from the friendliest guy around. Try the souvlaki with some tzatziki, it’s so good! Well worth the vampire-​repelling breath you’ll be stuck with for the rest of the day.

The best hole in the Greek restaurant. One man one grill super cheap food daily specials and the best gyros around. You definitely leave super full and with a smile

This is hands down my favorite place to get gyros. John has the best food and offers it for a college-​student price.

Johns is the only place I will go and get a Gyro. When I worked in the mall there for one company I would go to Johns almost every day. Very friendly wish I could eat there more often.

The food is always delicious and John is always talkative and very nice! Worth the trip! :)

It’s located in an old mall. We almost didn’t find it. Now I’m glad we did. We were looking to try something new. The restaurant was quiet and we were the only ones there as they were like 20 mins from closing but very welcoming. We went in and tried the gyros and they were delicious. It’s an affordable restaurant. They don’t have a very big menu but still my family were each able to order something they wanted. We all enjoyed our meal and our experience there. We will be going back.

You should do yourself a favor and eat here.
As a young kid I ran around Southroads Mall with my friends… going to movies and shopping and stopping in to John’s for great food. Today, when there is no other reason to stop by Southroads… I still swing in for John’s great food, great prices and great service. You will not regret going out of your way to the Lower Level of Southroads for Amazing Greek Food.

I have been coming to this place for as long as I can remember. I have enjoyed my fair share of chicken nuggets and fries as a child here. This was also when the mall was full of people and businesses. A lot has changed since then, the mall is now a ghost town and I have graduated to gyros but John’s is still great!
The meat is tender and full of flavor. The tzatziki, tomatoes, and onions are plentiful. Large portions for an unbelievable price. John is always very friendly and will even remember you depending on how often you visit. This place truly is a hidden gem.

John is great, he’s always smiling, efficient, and effective. I’ve never had a poor experience. I always get a chicken gyro with everything on it with extra sauce and a side of onion rings. It is damn good, very filling and way too cheap! It’s a little inconvenient to have to go down to the lower level of the southroads business building it’s seriously worth it, tenfold =]

Real good food for a real good price. John packs on the meat with the gyro and its as original as it gets. It is hard to find. It is located inside an old abandoned mall straight out of the 80s. Other than that, I’ll go back.

Oh my! What a great gyro place! I was getting my car worked on at Firestone next to Southroads technology Park, and they suggested I get luck at John’s Grecian Delight for lunch while I wait. Little did I know, I had actually bookmarked this place a few months ago when I visited Omaha! The gyro meat was tender, flavorful, and you definitely get a lot of it with your order! The tzatziki sauce had a kick, and was so delightful. I ate there an hour ago, and the amazing flavor from that gyro is still lingering on my tastebuds! The service was very friendly, and I enjoyed talking to the owner. They are close to the military base, and although the mall area looks like a scene from walking dead since there are lots of closed stores and the escalators don’t work, I recommend this place to anyone!

I’ve been going here since I was a little kid! He always remembers me and the rest of my family! The food is amazing! And it’s the best baklava ever!

Just had lunch here. A little out of the way and you would never find it since it is in an old mall that doesn’t get much traffic. However it is highly worth the trip. I went on lunch break with a co-​worker that frequents the place.
The menu is simple, nothing too fancy. However the food is amazing. I had the steak gyro, twice since it was so good. The white cream sauce on it was really good and a bit salty, but I really liked it. The steak had great flavor as well. Best gyros I have ever had hands down. The head cook is John who knows his traditional Greek food!
Highly recommend a try, as I will go back when I get the chance!

Best gyro you will ever eat! The sauce is absolutely amazing! John himself is also the best, nicest guy ever.

Great food. Kinda hidden from the main mall (or what’s left of it). The prices were really reasonable and the food was good. Definitely going back. Might have to try the other items on their menu.

Not the best gyro I’ve had (I prefer my meat crispier) but it was very good and the prices can’t be beat. A gyro plate (comes with a salad and fries), gyro supreme, 2 nuggets and fries, a burger and fries, and 2 sodas came to $ 24.
I will echo others on the owner being super nice too.

I ate at John’s today, after reading all of the great reviews. When the other reviews said this place is hidden they wherent joking. I first tried to go into the door under the cosentry sign, that want it. You want the door in between the cosentry sign and the paradigm signs.
Now to the food. While I will say the gyro was good it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had. Maybe I had a bad batch of tzaiki but I found it too salty. Also, the menu said they had Greek salad, maybe I just got the regular salad but it was just a salad bar with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and croutons, maybe this is stereotypical of me but I was expecting feta of some sort. I would return but only for a gyro and mostly because for the price it was good and im cheap some times.

I’ve been eating here off and on for the last 15 years. As most reviews indicate, this place is a bit of a hidden gem in a «dead» mall. Definitely make the effort to find the place and enjoy some gyros.
Gyros sandwich is excellent. Tzatziki can be a bit on the salty side sometimes, but is still very good. He also has these potatos he serves that he marinades in something. Whatever they are… they’re awesome. They are usually paired with chicken. Both sell out quickly. Don’t forget to order a piece of baklava.
One criticism I have is that dinner is not as good as lunch. That is, the place closes at 7PM, so, not wanting to waste food, items that run out are not replenished and are just no longer available for purchase that day. Additionally, the pitas can get a little dry toward the end of the day. So, if you’re going to eat at John’s then come for lunch.
I got a laugh out of the «Smoking Permitted» signs on the North wall. Smoking has been banned in restaurants in Nebraska for about 7 years now. So, in 7 years John hasn’t gotten around to taking the signs down. I’m tempted to buy a pack of smokes and light up and when somebody says something I’ll just point at the sign.
Restaurant is always clean and generally well-​maintained. You have to use the mall restrooms at the far Northwest corner as John’s does not have restrooms of its own

Hands down– THE BEST gyros in town. THE BEST… THE BEST!
His supreme gyros are the best.
I remember going here as a child but I thought they closed when Southroads Mall went under. Imagine my surprise when I found they were still open for business.
I have been to practically all the gyro places in Omaha, and this remains the best in Omaha and surrounding areas.
Other meals are equally as yummy… his grilled chicken is GREAT!
