Gyro House 07.01.20

Gyro House
Working on a Saturday sucks, so I took the time to find some joy out of it by going out to lunch. On Castro Street in Downtown Sunnyvale lies a restaurant that serves one of the best Gyros I've had, at least in terms of the meat. Their lamb and beef is freshly prepared on a rotating skewer and then thinly cut and placed onto the tortilla. The tortilla itself wasn't too great, dry like most other places, but meat was really succulent and juicy. The flavor was relatively mild which is good; not like a slab of meat that has been dipped in MSG. It was accompanied with salad and a mildly sour dressing. How very Mediterranean.

The service? Well there really isn't much service. You exchange your order for a number at the counter. Then you look for your seat, if any are even available. The seating here isn’t too great and I can imagine it filling up pretty quickly on a weekday if it’s this full on a Saturday at 13:00. In no time, they give you your order. Value wise, it was really filling, and the entire meal was under 10 bucks with a drink. All in all, a pretty good experience. I’ll definitely be back.
