| - If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Having recently moved to Pittsburgh, I have been rather disappointed in the lack of quality restaurants - lots of greasy mom and pop joints using very low-quality ingredients. There seems to be pizza and gyro shops on every corner and I had been unimpressed with all of them. Then I found The Simple Greek!
This is a Chipotle-style, build-your-own gyro shop. Excellent quality ingredients (actual spring greens instead of shredded iceburg, etc.) but I was most happy to see they had a great selection of add-on ingredients. Finally, a gyro shop that offers actual Mediterranean ingredients like kalamata olives and feta! PLUS lots of other items like lentils or rice, green beans, tomatoes, onions, cukes, and on and on. Whole wheat pita and yogurt tatziki sauce make healthy substitutes.
I order the bowl and it is HUGE! Seriously, I could make a meal out of just the meat portion alone - they do not skimp! And you can choose chicken or steak in addition to traditional lamb. The rice pudding and baklava are super yummy also. Please, please, come check this place out - you wont regret it!
