| - After seeing the picture of the Greek fries, I knew I had to try this place. I've been to their Danforth location, but it was so long ago and it was after a night of partying..that I had to make sure everything tasted as good as I remembered!
The location at yonge and eglinton is pretty easy to find, however it is practically impossible to find a parking spot anywhere near the place in the evening. I was so hungry that after 30 minutes of circling the streets, I decided to give up and park inside the yonge and eglinton mall underground.
Once inside, we ordered one chicken and one lamb gyros sandwich, along with the Greek fries. The sandwiches looked so filled and so yummy, that we bit into them right away. Well, we were both unfortunately disappointed. The veal was full of fat and I barely tasted any meat, however the tzatziki sauce with the tomatoes and onions were good. Not much of a sandwich though.. The chicken was tasteless and once again, the sauce was the only thing saving it. We ended up throwing away half of our sandwiches.
The Greek fries are a different story and the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. Although quite greasy, I have a soft spot for anything that has feta involved in its preparation. I gobbled those down pretty fast, because I was still so hungry!
Overall, the place is easy to find and was pretty packed for a Monday evening. The meat isn't done the way it should be. It was more shawarma than gyros and even then, I would have preferred shawarma. I wouldn't come back unless I had a major craving for some oily Greek fries.
