| - Is this heaven?... no, it's Chandler. This small counter-style restaurant in a strip mall is a solid choice for lunch.
I've had the gyro and the Greek salad here before, but today I stepped it up for the gyro platter. It was outstanding. For $9, I got food served to me on 3 different plates. There was a generous portion of gyro meat, and french fries served with sliced tomatoes & onions and tzatziki. Then, there was separate side greek salad and a pita. That's a lot to review.
The gyro meat was about what you'd expect. At least it looks legit because they cut it from one of those giant meat cylinders. The french fries were fantastic, thick cut but crispy with a seasoning salt on them. The tzatziki was thicky and lumpy, with a strong dill flavor (and I mean all of that as a compliment. It was good stuff.) The salad was crisp and fresh with an acidic Greek dressing and some feta cheese. It was mostly lettuce, but there was tomato, onion, and a single olive & pepperoccini to make it a nice presentation. And finally, the pita was grilled warm and toasty, as it should be at a place named Pita Heaven.
I ate my entire salad, and about half of the rest. $9 is a little pricey for lunch, but not when you make two meals out of it. There is a large menu, but I've never strayed from the Mediterranean choices. If you like Chicago hot dogs or beef sandwiches, they've got you covered. If you're on a health kick, the Greek salad with chicken is a healthy, but satisfying option.
