Gyros is one of the most popular Greek street food dishes, consisting of meat such as pork and chicken (in Greece) or lamb and veal (popular in other countries) cooked on a vertical spit. The meat is sliced in thin shavings and is then usually placed in a pita bread along with sauces such as tzatziki and vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and cucumbers. Gyros is derived from the Greek word gheereezo, meaning to turn, referring to the constantly rotating vertical spit on which the meat is cooked. Some believe that gyros originated during the time of Alexander the Great, when his soldiers skewered the meat on their swords and cooked it over a fire. Others claim that gyros was introduced to Greece in 1922, with the refugees from Constantinople and Smyrna. Many of the refugees became merchants and opened their shops with tiny holes in the wall, where gyros was sold. After WWII, gyros gained popularity and spread to Europe, Australia, and the United States. Today, gyros is known as one of the most popular street food varieties around the world.

I really enjoy the döner kebab here. It seemed a bit cold, I guess it's cut early at 12 noon due to the lunchtime rush. The fries were also quite delicious. The meat wasn't too fatty, it wasn't bothersome.

It might seem a bit crowded when you first enter, but there's always a place to sit. A hospitable Eastern gentleman greets you, helps you find a seat, and after you tell him what you want, a sample is immediately served. It's served to your table within 5-6 minutes at most. Along with the menu, portions come with a combination of tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Before you've even finished half your meal, they've given you almost 3-4/10 of the plate as a complimentary topping. Although the meat is slightly fatty, it's very clear that it's not minced meat döner; you can taste the authentic döner from the very first bite. I recommend ordering the rice as a portion. The ayran (yogurt drink) wasn't quite what I expected, but the restaurant serves tea as soon as you finish your meal, and surprisingly, the tea is also good. I'd like to especially thank the staff there; their attentiveness was excellent. If I remember correctly, they're open until 3 AM.

Soup, raw meatballs, teapot of tea, and salad were complimentary. The döner was oily, but I finished my plate and it didn't bother me at all. The rice could have been better. The salad had an onion taste, but it was fine. I think the meat tasted good. The prices are excellent. Normally, döner is 250 TL, but the one in the photo for 1.5 people is 375 TL.

I think it's a very tasty döner. It's not too oily. It could be better if the salt was reduced. Everything about the potato salad that comes with it is delicious. I think it's a better choice than the aspava.
