| - "Best" Gyros - umm , not.
I've been here twice - once within the first week of opening (so I'll discount that mediocre experience) and then now. My latest order was at 11:30 AM. I ordered the regular size meat lover's gyro, which, according to the menu, has seasoned, cubed chicken in addition to the gyro meat and regular ingredients.
It was highly disappointing; here's why:
1.) I had been looking forward to a gyro for days - so the "Best" sounded like luxury. But,
2.) the gyro meat was dryed out, not slightly charred, not luscious as it should be. More spins without cuts for customers equals more jerky-like product and, lamb jerky, while a heck of a good idea, is not what I had in mind for lunch. Did you guys forget to pay the gas fired spit grill bill?
3.) I looked up tzatziki after this experience and in all the best reviewed recipes I found - all had a critical component that I felt was gapingly missing from this joint's sauce - acid. Best Gyro's sauce is like cream cheese with herbs - advice to management - walk across the street to the Turkish place and just taste their food, lest you be embarrassed to ask for advice. This creamy, too stiff sauce was consistent with visit one and would be best served on a mish-mosh bagel. Please offer cut lemons for people who like gyros.
GOOD THINGS:
1.) the flat bread was griddled perfectly.
2.) "BEST" Actually - After hearing your apparently non-grecian staff handle phone-in orders pronouncing the Establishment's name on greeting I became freed forever of my fear of offending greek restaurant owners everywhere - it shall forever be as I first thought it should be- my "kronos emancipation pronunciation" - 'ghai (like chai, as in tea) -row", ghai-row, not 'yee-ro'.
3.) BEST - when you guys fail, and you're set up to, the physical plant and what you've done to it is perfect for a worthy replacement. The landlord is the winner here.
Get a grip on the basics guys and I'll be back.
