Sam's Gyros

This in NOT an example of good Mediterranean food...and it's an insult that they charge for this.  You could make it better at home.  I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich.  The chicken looked like Tyson chicken chunks sauteed with onions and crappy shawarma seasoning that looked mostly like chili powder and paprika...freaking gross!  Real shawarma is slow roasted on a spit and carved as ordered and it should have hints of lemon, coriander, and cumin among other spices...and it should practically melt in your mouth.  Moreover, the sandwich came with NOTHING but cucumber sauce...which I think was a mixture of sour cream (maybe greek yogurt...but probably sour cream) and dill.  It was WAY to thick and mayonnaise-y in consistency.  No lettuce, tomato, tahini or hummus...just the poorly seasoned meat, onions, and "cucumber" sauce in a store bought pita.

My husband had the falafel sandwich, which was also terrible. It contained falafel and hummus inside the store bought pita...overall very bland in flavor...just such a poor poor representation of food that really is the BEST and most flavorful when done well.

Used to love this place and was excited to take a friend there for their first time. Delicious gyros   I hadn't been since the expansion.  It was about 2:00 on a Saturday, dirty tables, a couple tables with people looking around, a guy waiting at the front desk and no employee in sight.  We waited a few minutes and then sat ourselves. Apparently there was one guy running the show.  He could have been making the food too for as long as everything took.  He was really friendly and really did the best he could under the circumstances.   We ordered gyro platters and the meat looked like it had been shaved and sitting for some time.  The pita was dry as well.   I was a little embarrassed for having recommended it to be honest.  It could have just been a bad day as they were obviously very short staffed.  I will give it a try a a much later date.

Delicious gyros!!! Fairly inexpensive. Definitely try it out.
