Kebab Gyros

Possibly my fault for coming on a Saturday afternoon to a location that primarily relies on the Monday to Friday business crowd. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I thought I'd pop in after a swim workout at the Maryland Farms Y. Was so disappointed for many reasons. 1. The prices on their website - which are copyrighted for 2023 - are DOLLARS lower than the actual prices. Case in point, I got the Mediterranean Sampler w/choice of meat, website listed for $8.99. Actual price was either $11.99 or $12.99. A good amount of food, but still. Which.... 2. I asked for and got wheat pita, yay. They asked if I wanted it warmed and I declined as I knew it would be a while before I got home. While the pita was somewhat frozen - no problem, zap it a bit - it was STALE. Even the second piece, once it thawed, was still rock hard around the edges. 3. The spanakopita was also stale. Was not flaky, could not cut with a fork. Had to shovel lift it and bite it as if it were a big brownie. Also a bit too salty. 4. Tabbouleh - hardly any bulgar. Was there mint? Wayyy too much parsley, but that is a personal preference. I prefer Mediterranean tabbouleh which usually has cilantro in it as well. 5. Hummus - when I opened the container, the hummus was close to rock hard but didn't seem cold. Eventually it softened a bit, and as I added minced garlic and the minced garlic juice, it found a better consistency. But kind of bland to begin with. 6. Overall, everything was a little too salty, BUT I am salt sensitive and I find American/American-Greek foods tend to pour on the salt. I will say that the Baba Ganoush was very good. Not awesome (see Edessa for that) but still very good. And yes, the servings were plentiful. Wish I had known about the price differences, but I like trying new places. So I don't totally regret my visit. I *might* try them again during the work week for a gyro sandwich, but otherwise will likely stick to my regular spot in The Farms.

This unassuming storefront claims to have the best gyros in town- and I agree. The brusque customer service and simple decor adds to the authenticity of this great find. The gyro sandwich was served hot and delicious- packed with flavor. And the pita with hummus was a perfect side. What a great value and very good quality. I would highly recommend it and I will definitely be back.
