How can I not review this little diamond in the rough on the Queens Quay in Toronto. Driving along on my way home from a late night mid week event, those late night hunger pangs started to drive me nuts.
I knew I needed something quick, fast and Yelp-certifiably delicious, quick as a wink I jumped on the Yelp app and noticed that a little hard to find place called Alexandros was spitting out the best Gyros south of Bloor. Ya ....that's right...I said it...THE BEST....wanna fight about it?
Like most take out spots at 2:30 in the morning, this place isn't much to look at BUT it's got all the fixings for an amazing take out spot. Good food, cool staff, fair prices and GOOD FOOD! (Did I mention that already)?
The menu is diverse but the yelpers recommended the Gyros and that's what I came for. Suprisingly they don't do the typical Lamb or Beer OR Lamb and Beef mix. They offer chicken Gyros (a first for me) and Pork Gyros!!
I opted for the Chicken and informed the guy to make it the way he would make for himself (always a strong ordering ploy). Meat was cooked perfectly and the X-Factor here truly was the Tzatziki sauce. Amazing! They didn't overkill the onions and the rest of the ingredients went together famously.
A bit of a trek from the club and bar scene but totally worth the trip!!
