Pork shaved straight off the spit, crisp at the edges, folded into warm pita with tomato, red onion and a few fries tucked inside.
Tzatziki made every morning from thick Greek yogurt, cucumber and garlic, from a family recipe that came over from Crete.
The house gyro
Order it Athens style: pork, tzatziki, tomato, onion and fries in one warm pita. One is lunch. Two is a feast.

In the house gyro they go in that order, every time. The fries go in last so they stay crisp to the last bite.
