| - I went here as part of a food tasting event. I got to try the lamb gyro, as well as the Greek lemon chicken soup.
The gyro was absolutely delicious. The pita was warmed and the lamb was fresh, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The gyro had the perfect amount of toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion) and the tzatziki sauce was delicious - it was definitely homemade, creamy and tangy, with lots of dill for flavor. The gyro was proportioned very well, where you could get a little bit of everything in each bite!
The lemon chicken soup was something I've never had before so it was a kick to the face in flavor that I wasn't expecting. It is very tangy, just shy of sour, with perfectly cooked orzo, small bits of chicken, and a flavorful chicken broth that was a bit thicker than your standard chicken soup. It was served with oyster crackers which I didn't use because the soup was delicious on its own and didn't need them. I will definitely look for lemon chicken soup on the menu the next time I visit a Greek establishment!
The items I got to try were cooked to order, flavorful, and comforting. I was very impressed with the quality of each and every ingredient and the elevated taste of a standard gyro, without the guilt. Marathon Diner is definitely a solid choice for those wanting some quick comfort food at an affordable price. I will absolutely be back for another gyro the next time I am Pittsburgh International Airport - check it out!
