Was walking around the area taking photos when the charcoal smell enticed us in for tea. It was so worth it. Had never been there before although had eaten a few from the old Port one when it was open. These were great.. and it was nice to eat fresh crispy lettuce all the way through. Will be back.
Unfortunately I am a sucker for good charcoal grill. Was working in the area and somehow managed to stay away for 2 days...on the 3rd day however all I could smell was the delicious aroma of the grill, and thus succumbed to the lure of Yianni's. Juicy combination of meats, crisp salad and a generous smear of garlic sauce...not sure how it could have been better....

So good I dream of this lamb lol. True story. A must after every Adelaide United game
I have long been told that these were the best Yiros around and I can't believe it took me this long to find out for myself! Absolutely incredible charcoal fire cooked lamb. Perfect garlic sauce and packed full of ingredients.
The best yiros ever they are the Ferrari of the yiros

Real meat real charcoal taste there is none better
Small menu no hot chips Yianni sticks to what he's good at!
Saw this place on the way to hotel. Came yesterday evening to try, yiros was great. Came back this morning. Yiros is the best in Australia, and this coming from a victorian!
Been demolishing yiros for over 30 years.
But never have I had yiros like this.
7.15 a.m. and I'm hanging for one now!
I have never been anywhere else for a yiros for 6 years.
Guess where I'm going for lunch today.
Nice staff and yummy food ! Love it! The filling was full and neatly folded with juicy meat and crunchy veggies..
definitely will come back while i’m craving gyros..
Bloody incredible yiros. Horizontal lamb, chicken or pork. Beautifully cooked over charcoal and carved fresh. Crispy, juicy and delicious. Friendly service too!
No frills quality yiros. One of the better yiros establishments in Adelaide selling great fresh, quick charcoal yiros. The lamb is pretty much always tender and succulent and even when it isn't top notch it is still very nice. The use of a charcoal grill also really elevates the flavour of the meats and is much better than the regular electric rotisserie machines. The only problem sometimes with the lamb yiros in particular is it ocassionally too salty but the lettuce and garlic sauce does a good job of balancing out the saltiness. Always very quick, good staff and the owner is a great bloke. The pork yiros is a little different and is also very nice, the coffee frappe is also really great, using strong greek coffee mixed with milk, ice and sugar.
If you want quick, great quality charcoal lamb yiros, this is the place to go.
The smell of meat cooking on charcoal draws you in and then the yiros delivers. There is so much meat and salad that the pita can barely wrap around it and it is all sooo tasty.
The best yiros in Adelaide and most definitely my favourite. From the fat, tender and taste of the meat, to the quality and quantity, Yianni's never ceases to fill my yiros cravings and thankfully, my stomach.
I've been here a few times with my parents and for my uncle this is an institution - he visits every time he's back in Adelaide! There are fewer great yiros shops around Adelaide which is a shame. Yianni's is fantastic. Obviously you should get the lamb if you go! You won't regret it.
I was looking for something close to my hotel (Adelaide Rockford) to eat during a late Wednesday afternoon. Interestingly enough Zomato didn't have many options that were open, looked relatively fast and very decently rated. Funnily enough a souvlaki store down west past the university and away from all the other food places seemed to shine out.

Easily one of the best Yiros I've had. My lamb yiros, was everything I imagined it to be. Heavy (this yiros feels like it weighs as much as a brick), the right amount of garlic sauce (not too much, not too little), and beautiful, fresh lettuce, tomato and onion helped elevate my yiros to new culinary heights. The lamb cooked over charcoal is simply beautiful. There's not much more I can say without using the same words, over and over again to describe how good this yiros is.
I once felt that Adelaide is devoid of any good greek food places that also provide good value for money. That is until I discovered Yiannis on Hindley.
When I walked into this place, I was welcomed by the owner, and he was very friendly, saying hello in greek (Yasu for those who don't know Greek), and quickly attend to your order. The girl helping him was taking orders very nicely, and the two make a good team. It's very nice to see that customer after customer, it was the same warm and friendly greeting (and if I heard correctly the owner had been working long hours). The owner seemed to really care about his shop, as they have earned a 5 star food safety rating, and any mess is cleaned up immediately. Overall a very pleasant atmosphere.
You need to go here at least once! I'll be definitely heading here again to try a chicken yiros or the combo.
NEW VISIT #1: BEST CHICKEN YIROS
Still the best yiros. I had the chicken yiros, and I was in for a surprise. It's just as amazing and delicious as the lamb. Chicken is very tender, and had this amazing, mouthwatering charcoal smokeyness to it as well. It is now my go to Yiros place. Thank you Yianni's on Hindley for amazing yiros!!!
VISIT #2: BEST PORK Yiros
Just when I thought this place can't surprise me more. I had the intention of buying a combination yiros, but when I looked at the menu they had the option for Pork, I just had to try it. And my curiosity was rewarded, because I had another amazing yiros. The pork was tender, succulent, juicy, everything associated with good. If this place only did pork yiros, I would go here just for it. I don't think I need to mention the lettuce, tomato, onion and garlic sauce were top notch.
VISIT #3: ADDICTION.
It's a true sign that this place has made me addicted to yiros. Not any yiros, but Yianni On Hindley's Yiros. It has been two days from the time of writing this since my last one. And I was craving for another one. That's how good this place is. I can't go two days without having another yiros from here. It's fair to say at this point I've probably met most of the staff, and I can say they are efficient and friendly. I am absolutely in love with this place. I have only the combination yiros to try, and seriously I can't wait until I can. You must give this place a try. The only thing you would have to be careful of is that you'll want to come back for more, and more often than your logical side or your wallet would like.
This isn't the only best place in Adelaide for yiros, but I can confidently say this is the best place in Australia.
Freaking delicious! The meat is soooo tasty being that it is cooked over an authentic charcoal spit. Smoke circulates through the restaurant which smells delicious but if you decide to dine inside you will smell like a spit, lol. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
I'm disappointed that searching for yiros on here doesn't return Yianni's as the top result! It really is the best yiros in Adelaide. Simple, fast, cheap and tasty. Food without the pretention
I am from MELBOURNE and I often eat at stalactites in Londsdale St, i have been to yiannis Yiros several times and I have to say that Yiros is the best Yiros, it destroys stalactites, the charcoal taste and the calving with the knife is traditional greek. This is why I refuse to eat any other Yiros except for yiannis yiros.
The best souvlaki in Australia. Ive been there twice on my trips to Adelaide and have never been disappointed. Few if any in Australia offer pork, lamb and chicken off a charcoal spit.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Unquestionably the best Yiros in Adelaide, possibly Australia.. In Adelaide it is possible to buy a yiros at at least 150 places. If you lined up every one of those 150 yiros, this one would be at the top every time. There is no substitute for roasting the meat over coal. Perfection in a Pita...
Oh, don't complain if it falls apart in your hands. This yiros is PACKED to maximum capacity. If you are not a seasoned yiros consumer who understands the art or yiros comsumption, the correct unwrapping technique, the optimal angle of attack, the balanced holding position, and the ability to open wide, it's going to be a bit of a train wreck, but rest assured that once you gather up all of your dropped meaty goodness and consume it, you will be full. A word of advice here - that big bit that fell out that looks just a little burnt on one side - save it for last. With more practice (and I assure you that you will want more practice) you will soon flawlessly devour one of these beauties and walk away smiling, as I do every time.
Personally, I get the combo (Pork, Lamb, Chicken) with Garlic sauce and a dash of hot chilli sauce. Don't wuss out on the garlic sauce if you have to go back to work, go buy some gum, you wont regret it.
Sensational. One of the best souvlakis ever. walking down Hindley you get the waft of charcoal smell and it leads you straight to Yiannis! definitely will be getting one again when in town next.
So. Much. Meat. But that's what you want in a yiro. Very tasty
Best yiros we've ever had.definately worth the trip if you're in adelaide.dont judge book (or the street) by its cover.efficent & capable service.
The best yiros in Australia if not the world. Try the pork yiros, lemon juice, salad, with garlic sauce...a simple master piece that will leave you satisfied!
There's nothing to match a real charcoal flame yiros. A venerable Adelaide institution and still excellent value.
We're from Melbourne, lots of Greek food there, and this stacks up with the best! You rock Yianna!
We were hanging for a traditional yiros for a quick lunch as a family. This really hit the spot. Fast, flavoursome, fantastic. Nice to hear Greek music too to add to authentic feel.
After something quick, tasty and cheap?! Head down to Yianni's on Hindley for your yiros fix, they're open til the wee hours of the morning, perfect for those who are leaving the clubs and in need of something to soak up the alcohol! Combo yiros the the lot: lamb, chicken, pork, lemon juice, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion; $11.00 The yiros filling is generous with the assortments of meat super tender and juicy. The bread itself is soft and fluffy whilst the outside is slightly toasted; and the lemon juice and garlic sauce adds that extra kick of flavour whilst still being super light and nowhere as heavy as I thought it would be. One of the best yiros' I've had! ~ (Psst, thanks to a blog reader for the suggestion!)

Great customer service, the two people working were super friendly and nice to us. The food smells great when you approach that lovely charcoal smell. Pretty pricey but a really big portion! And quality fresh vegetables lovely garlic sauce and the meat is juicy and they pack alot in the pita bread ! Definitely recommend this place to anyone ! Pretty much the best Yiros I've had and always worth it.
Well, this is no joke.
The Yiros here will cost you an arm and a leg. Very pricy but, I must admit! You actually get a proper Yiros.
Actual Meat cooked over charcoal! Even when you receive your Yiros, it's almost weights 1kg.
Restaurant - 5/5 causal vibes with limited seating.
Yiros - 4/5 the Yiros was amazing. Absolutely fantastic. Flavours, quantity and quality. Price however is to much!
Not familiar much about yiros but this was excellent. Very tasty and lots of meat for affordable price. Can feed more than 2 people for that much meat. 👍 will come back when I visit Adelaide again.
Yummy Lamb, Pork & Chicken Platter! Garlic sauce was sensational.
I’d rank this placr as one of the top yiros places in Adelaide.
The best yiros, meat packs & killer ab's packs, actually i cant go past the ab's, so bloody gd, extra garlic sauce please
Good choice of food taste and I will love to come back here!!!
