About Greek giros

Greek Gyros are a delicious and iconic dish rooted in Greek cuisine. Originating as street food, they consist of thinly sliced, seasoned meat—commonly pork, chicken, or lamb—rotating on a vertical spit, carved fresh for serving. The meat is typically wrapped in a soft pita bread and paired with fresh toppings such as tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, along with a dollop of creamy tzatziki sauce made from Greek yogurt, cucumbers, and garlic. Gyros offer protein-rich meat and yogurt, along with fiber and vitamins from vegetables. However, they can also be high in calories, fat, and sodium, especially with added oils and sauces. For a lighter option, choose lean cuts of meat, reduce sauce portions, and add extra veggies. Gyros embody the vibrant flavors of Greece while offering a mix of nutrition and indulgence.
