Never had one so don't know.

Pronounced gee-ross. Pitta if you don't mind messy fingers, otherwise plate. I've only eaten them from the Tasty Corner,& I am happy with the choice there.

I prefer them in a pitta, but if you don't mind them on a plate, Terezas do a great gyros, but don't have a starter, they are huge.

We prefer them in pitta,Only had them at tasty corner & no complaints about them

In pitta for us too , Gyro i think is the greek for round, i.e. round pitta folded 
tasty corner is my choice

[deemac]

Sorry Helen, almost correct gyro does indeed mean round, but in terms of turn round as in rotate (like on a spit). Think gyrate.

Tasty Corner for my gang! I think they are 1.70

Quite regular at Tasty Corner and I find them moreish! Sandra prefers pork souvlaki though. Both of us enjoyed a lunchtime Gyros Pitta at the Olympia, very nice indeed though only one size available. Had Gyros plate at the Little Prince and enjoyed that too.

So what do you actually get in / on a Gyro??? If it sounds as good as you are all saying we may have to try them this year.

Basically.... A pitta wrap... Containing meat, salad, fries and taramasalata (spelling!). Cheap, filling and tasty. Probably the only fast food we eat.

Yes - Gyros are best at tasty - but they worry me - it's almost the same as the turkish "Doner Kepab",
pressed meat cooked on a rotating spit grill, the troube is "What was the Doner"?? How many days has it been rotating??
It always looks like a road-kill grill to me.  LOL!!
But must admit - I do eat them on occasions from the Tasty grill!!

I think its watching the rotating thingy that would put me off - i would definitley be thinking how long has it been there.

Yes - how many customers - how many times re-cooked?? Always a worry!!

my husband says he thinks they are made of all the bits no one wants he works at the vets and was told by an old vet he  would never  eat cheep sausages as they were all eyes ears and well i wont say the last one but gordon brown talks out of his if you get my drift i think it could be the same with the gyros
