| - Stephano's is my latest addiction. If the government ever outlawed mediterranean food I'd be like Bubbles from the Wire, walking the streets of Las Vegas looking for a hit of Gyro to "scratch the itch". Thankfully it hasn't come to that and I can instead legally swing by Stephano's every few days (sometimes daily, it's come to that before) for a fix before the withdrawal symptoms set in.
I've tried several menu items. My favorite overall item is probably just the gyro rice bowl. It's basically a bowl of rice with several pieces of gyro meat and a small side of israeli salad (which always consists of seemingly fresh tomatoes and cucumbers) and some pita bread (white or wheat). I think the portion size is perfect with the rice bowls as opposed to the plates which should only be used for feeding large families. Okay that's a lie as I still from time to time will order a plate because really the food is so good I always want more even when I finish. That's probably a medical disorder that I just admitted to you all, but I like these reviews to have that extra special personal touch to them. The plates are a little more expensive, and are loaded with more meat, more rice, more everything essentially and some hummus to boot! I can highly recommend the gyro plate, and also tried one of the mixed skewer plates with chicken and lamb, and everything was great. On occasion I also will just get a straight up gyro or the "cheese gyro" which is the same but with feta. Stephano's makes an excellent version of this classic. The gyro meat, obviously the driving force, is always tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They don't skimp on the meat either. I usually get an order of feta fries with those, and don't be fooled by the order sizes of "small" or "large". The small is large and the large is unconscionable. Even if you're sharing with another, the small will do.
The only item I've ordered that I wasn't a huge fan of was the chicken shawerma wrap. I found the mix of tahini and garlic sauce to be overpowering and the chicken was overcooked. It may have just been a one-time thing, but I haven't tried it again. The other items that I mentioned above have more than made up for it. I can safely say that if you stick with the dark meat, you'll be okay (someone less civilized than I could make a joke about Kim Kardashian here)
So whether you're jonesin' for falafel or just out for a one-time recreational usage of Tzatziki, let Stephano's be your pusher.
