Oh It’s been a long time since I had one of these. There were many greek kids at my school and most of the families owned kebab shops, we often queued up straight from school for our gyros.
Wraps are always so tasty.

These are my preferred on-the-go food. It’s a shame a lot of the street stall shacks selling these here in Manila have already closed down. Those were the best merienda places of my misspent high school youth 😛

What a perfect gyros!! This is something that I always go out and get because I always thought it would be too hard to make the meat filling. Thanks for showing that it’s not all that hard!
I am one Shawarma-lover! You just made me crave for one with this gyros!

YUM these look like a Greek version of a Lebanese kebab.
I love gyros! They’re served at a lot of diners in New York. I usually order chicken or lamb, but beef sounds great too.
