Bite into this handheld wonder of seasoned meat carved from a vertical rotisserie, wrapped in warm pita with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki. The meat develops a crispy exterior while staying juicy inside, creating the perfect portable meal. Each gyros shop has its own spice blend and technique, making it worth trying from different vendors to find your favorite.

βAnd here's a gyro from another night. We got them whenever we could, but it should have been far more often. They are superficially like the gyros we have in the United States, but in Greece the pita is so fresh, and the tzatziki is extra creamy, and the meat is quite differentβwhole shaved bits of crispy pork rather than the pressed beef/lamb stuff I've tried at Greek restaurants at home. [...] Anyway, these were the pinnacle of gyros. Worth eating every day.β
βAs planned, I ordered a plate of chicken and pork gyros alongside the tzatziki sauce and bread the table received as an appetiser. The pork gyros I had at this restaurant were not served rolled up in pita bread as often served in the States, but instead on top of the pita, with raw red onions, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce and french fries to the side.β
