  My wife tried their gyros. Nothing special, average. Good size, not too greasy, plenty of accoutrement, lettuce, tomato. If we head back to the Market, may try the other Gyro joint. See how they match up...

  This restaurant in the west wing of the City Market has managed to elude me for quite some time now.  Alas, I finally found it and immediately had to try it last week.
  
  The value of the daily special was disappointing - I'd was expecting a side, a salad, and pita along with the special, but no, it was just the special and rice - that's it.  Once I dug into it though, the food was very good.  Great flavor and just all around yum.
  
  I'll be back to try the veg items on their menu - stay tuned for updates.  :)

  Was expecting rather more given the reviews.  Had the Gyro sandwich; the gyro isn't the real thing (which is layers of meat, placed on a vertical skewer and grilled) but one of the prefabricated elephant leg things.  Maybe should have had the special..

  Gyros sandwich was unbelievable.  I guess I'm too accustomed to the fake stuff, frozen/microwaved meat blends with old sauce, dry pita bread.  This sandwich was the real thing!  The meat was juicy on one side and nicely seared from the rotisserie on the other.  The tzatziki sauce was tangy and fresh.  The tomatoes and onions had a ton of flavor that nicely enhanced the gyros meat.  And the bread was soft and soaked up the little bit of juice from the meat.  I know there's other cool places to try in the City Market, but I'll be hard pressed not to make a bee-line back to Ameer!

  The food is excellent!!  It is run by a mom and pop couple!  The food is freshly made  and the portions are very generous.  It is not spicy but very flavorful!  I had the beef in a white sauce - the sauce was somewhat sweet possible made with cream and I think I detected a hint of cardamon maybe an additional spice like cloves, or allspice, and of course a very slight onion taste - which is part of the base of the sauce!  They put it over the rice if u get the combo mmmmm rice with the sauce - a must!  Also tried the mixed veg with cabbage - the flavors in this where more subtle than I like - mostly just slightly steamed veg. with slight seasoning.  I also tried the cauliflower in a tomato sauce - it was good but still lacking in the punch I was looking for.  I will go again and keep trying different veg till I get one that is more aromatic and dances on my tongue!  Lastly - the ice tea they make.... Is spiced it is SO yummy!!!!!    
  
  If u are in or near city market at lunch I highly recommend this tasty alternative!  It is cash only so don't forget ur money!  From the looks of it they change the menu depending on day - I was there on a Wednesday.

  Food and service is always a delight! The cleanest kitchen and the best tea served hot or cold. I like to try the daily specials I don't always know how to pronounce but, I can always enjoy the dishes!! Come try it for lunch one day you will not be disappointed...
