Everyone is always in the best mood and so friendly here! Both breakfast and lunch are great. This is also a cute spot to sit outside at in the summer.

Mitsos is our go-to when we're at Eastern Market! It's obviously a family owned restaurant and they seem to really care about all their customers. Eating outside was wonderful this past summer, as they have outdoor picnic tables. The food is delicious and always fresh, and everyone working there seems so kind. Don't forget an iced coffee, they're consistently tasty. The portions are HUGE. My husband and I easily could've split a single meal and been happy with the mountain of fries they gave us.

Stopped by Mitsos during a recent trip to Detroit and was blown away by the quality of the fresh Gyros that they offer here.I decided to go with the Hercules and a side of fries. The Hercules was maybe the best gyro I've had in several years, easily. The big stack of meat, with beautiful sauce, and fresh pita was absolutely perfect. It's been a few months and I am still dreaming of the gyro. The fries were also delicious - freshly fried and crispy. Absolutely a great meal and they have some super cool soda options.The place has a few bar seats to sit at as well as some outdoor seating, but just a handful of tables. You order at the front and they'll call out your number when the food is ready so there is no table service. That being said, the staff are incredibly friendly.The only drawback and unfortunately for me, was a massive drawback as I have some stomach issues is that they have no bathroom at all. I had to wander around nearby stores and ask for someone to let me in which is so unfortunate. Definitely brings this down a star for me as I was worrying the whole time of where I'd be able to go.

Salt of the Earth people live and work in Detroit ...Jimmy runs this joint with his wife Irene and it's a family affair...Walked my way from the Wyndham Pontchatrain to the Eastern Market in like less than an hour... a beautiful walk... Cabrera is playing his last home game for the Tigers and the fans are sending THEIR love with a sold out Ford Stadium...you hear their yells and screams as you walk down these ancient Detroit streets...I got one thing on my mind ... the pork meat slabs on an original gyro... w exemplary Greek style fries laid inside the gyro... yum Then try the lemon soup... its gorgeously delicious... like something my NONA made when I was a kid BUT BETTER...the fries are outstanding...on the side too .. why not... it's hard to find fries that taste like this...The rice pilaf YOU CAN TASTE THE SAFFRON! And it's light airiness and texture ... I finished the whole little cup...in a gulp... excuse me... I was hungryThen the Greek donuts with cinnamon and honey had the bees flying in thinking THEY WERE HOME!a Fredo to wash it all down which is like a cappuccino tasting iced latte with milky frothy cream on top...All of it... delicious No man is an island here...We're all FAM!!!Ps Sorry guys... no fotos OF THE FOODWhat matters is what's inside here!PEOPLE CARRY CABRERA AND DETROIT IN THEIR HEARTS...I'm thinking about only GYROS now...The spinach and cheese doughy turnovers with their cheesy filling and special Greek cheeses like Feta and other I forgot how to pronounce ... will melt in your mouth ... the dough crisps off like snowflakes in winter.. leaving all these snowflakes of dough everywhere ... so brush yourself off why don't you... you're a mess kid...We forget ourselves here...Glad to see they didn't forget how to make that original Greek fare here...like they do it in GREECE!!!Peace!PS Andy Milonakis would be proud of this place

Fresh, delicious food that hits the spot. Coffee was good too! It's nice to eat outside right by the market as well.

Delicious! Obsessed with the tzatziki, very garlicky and they put so much on the pita. The meat was flavorful and fresh. Plenty of tomatoes and onions. Love that they put fries on the pita. And the pita was grilled to perfection. I really enjoyed the soup. It was thick and flavorful. I do wish there was a little more lemon flavor, but I would still get it again. It came with pita and crackers. I was greeted the second I walked into the place. The woman at the register was very kind and the food came out in minutes. Prices are fair!Although small, they have indoor counter seating for a few people and plenty outdoor seating.

Delicious food and coffee, plus quick and friendly service! We stopped in with our two kids under 5 and everyone had a great meal, with leftovers for later. Our kids loved the burger and handcut fries, and my husband and I loved the Greek salad, gyro and super fresh pita. We chatted with the owners who were incredibly helpful with keeping our kids happy and entertained too. We'll be back!

Mitsos by far has the BEST gyro downtown and in the metro area. Don't waste your time in Greektown for some fake Greek food. Their traditional pork gyro and souvlaki gyro are a must try, spanakopita as well!
