Gyropolis

My wife and I slipped into this small joint in Bloomington on a recommendation. There was a line of about 12 people at the ordering counter, so we knew we had a winner.Winner.Chicken dinner.

I found a table while my wife ordered a spicy gyro combo for me with a small Greek salad and a soda. She got a side of pitas and lentil soup.

The pita was perfect size and had lots of gyro meat and a wonderfully spicy sauce with lots of tomatoes and onions and was just perfect!  The spiciness was just enough to say "Hello!, guess what, I am spicy!" The gyro meat was flavorful lamb and pork mixed together.

My wife had a fat free cucumber sauce to dip he pita bread into, it was super wonderful. I tried a bite of the lentil soup and it was full of beans and you could tell it was home made. There was even a bay leaf in there to pick out.

The whole bill was $12 too, nice!

I would be surprised if they don't open more locations of this place, super busy for a reason. It was AWESOME!

On the advice of Yelp, I showed up for the best gyro in the Twin Cities.  I found it!  Fresh veggies, tender and juicy gyro meat.  And the spicy tzatziki?  They're not kidding.  This isn't Minnesota spicy, this is for real spicy.  I went through three napkins, two were used solely to wipe my running nose.  I loved it.  The space is super clean, and the line is laid out efficiently.  The pita bread was cooked to perfection, and the sandwich was big enough to feed two.

I snagged a piece of baklava for later and nibbled on it later that night.  Sadly, that was the only disappointment.  It was cooked perfect, and not too gooey, but I think the nuts in that batch were rancid, because the taste was off.  If nuts are chopped too far in advance of cooking, this is a common result.  I'd give it another try since other reviewers enjoyed it.  Probably just an off day for that one dish.  Can't wait to try the fries next time, when I do, I'll bring a friend because I can't imagine eating that much food by myself.

Nice and clean place
