Meráki Greek Grill opens in Henderson for its 5th valley location

Updated February 15, 2023 - 12:07 am

Meráki Greek Grill is bringing the lamb chops to Henderson.

The locally owned group of Greek restaurants will open its fifth location Wednesday at 249 N. Stephanie St., Suite 150.

Founder Girair “Jerry” Goumroian, executive chef and partner Nikos Georgousis, and franchise partners George and Joseph Djavairian plan to open another Henderson outpost on St. Rose Parkway and Spencer Street in 2024, bringing the total Meráki grills to six.

The launch follows the debut of the inaugural restaurant on South Rainbow Boulevard in 2017, a Summerlin spot launching in 2021, a third restaurant firing the grill in June 2022, and a Meráki debuting in Centennial Hills last October.

Lamb chops and kalamakia meat skewers, freshly grilled with oregano, olive oil and spurts of fresh lemon, will continue to anchor the menu at the new Meráki, along with signature rice or quinoa bowls. The menu also features spreads, appetizers, salads, classics such as saganaki and avgolemono, gyros, and a Meráki steak burger with feta, arugula and tzatzki on brioche.

A roomy terrace rounds out the new restaurant.
