I saw an episode of "Chicago's Best" almost four (4) years ago featuring Central Gyros. At that time I didn't really call myself a foodie and and thought a can of Campbell soup would be much better than a poppin' hot homemade Gyros plate.
Sorry, folks. I'm now a changed person, or at least I can say I've changed a lot since moving to Chicago. "Central Gyros" is one of many restaurants I pass by on Central frequent, yet tonight hubby and I walked into this place for the very first time. I brought several "uninvited" guests to dine with us as well: pidgey, rattata, drowzee, jynx, eevee, and spearow.
As many of you may have figured it out, "Central Gyros" is a poke stop. Let's just say this in unison: Oppa'a!
We ordered one of the most popular appetizers: saganaki, or Greek-style pan-fried cheese. There was a wedge of lemon on the side, and I squeezed some lemon juice on top of the saganaki. It was quite delectable.
I must admit that their gyros plate is a little on the pricier side, but the portion is large enough to split into two (2) meals. The gyro meat was delicious, so was the tzatziki sauce. I could tell the quality of everything was superb. Service was also very prompt and responsive. In addition, the boss did a round of greeting to each table to ensure that everyone of us enjoyed the meal.
The total for a gyros plate, a vegetarian plate, and an order of saganaki came to $31 and some change. I didn't know how hubby was able to finish his veggie plate. He should know that Rosa J. isn't going to wake up early on her day off to fix him some breakfast, and he better not to touch her leftover gyros!
