Ultra-budget gyros and grills by Chania Old Town with fast counter service, big portions, and mixed consistency; great for quick cheap eats, not for refined dining.
Restaurant Summary
On a busy Old Town stretch by the harbor, 9STR runs like a compact street-food engine: fast counter orders, sizzling spits, and plates flying to tables. Service swings from effortlessly quick to a bit frazzled when lines swell, but many praise the crew for being friendly and efficient. One diner summed it up: "Perfect cheap gyro between sightseeing." The cooking is classic Greek street fare—pita gyros, skewers, burgers, and shareable grills—more about big portions than finesse. When fresh off the grill, flavors hit the spot; occasional misses include dry meat or wrong items during rushes. It suits travelers who want fast, filling, and low-cost over lingering meals or culinary fireworks. Families on a budget will do fine here: kids can lean on fries, nuggets from the platters, simple burgers, or a plain chicken gyro. There is a vegan burger and salads, but note one report of a yogurt mix-up on a vegan order. Seating is tight and stroller access drew a complaint, so arrive early if you need extra space.
