My sweetheart was working, so I found myself alone on a Saturday. Woohoo! After laying around the townhouse most of the morning, I decided to take a drive to get something to eat and shop at Costco in Tempe. For a year or so I've wanted to try out Niro's Gyros at the southwest corner of 48th Street at Elliot in Ahwatukee.
The restaurant is located in a stand-alone building that must have been built and then abandoned by Pizza Hut. No matter, once inside it is clean, with brightly colored tables and chairs. The front counter is gleaming white tile.
I ordered a double gyro plate, which includes "two toasted pitas served with a mountain of gyro meat with gyro sauce, tomatoes, onions, and fries on the side." After adding a large soda and hand over $12.71, I only had to wait five minutes for my number to be called.
This is a casual eating establishment (i.e. plastic forks), so the gyro meat comes packaged within a white styrofoam container wrapped separate in white paper with the hot pitas and fries on the side. There is enough meat to overfill both pitas. I found the whole meal very tasty and enjoyable.
