GYROS. Especially this Greek resturant that my bf & I goes to we love their Gyros plate comes with Greek salad. Basically the gyro is a pita bread fill with slices of roasted meat (lamb) which are so soft & tastey, tomato onion fried potato & tzatziki (cucumber sauce) its a huge plate we get everytime & we assemble wrap the meat in the bread & eat it but if your going to a fast food place its already made to their way like a pita bread w/meat & vegetable.
Dessert is Baklava is basically a pastry dissert thats made with phillo dough with cinnamon butter, sugar & nuts.
