A gyro (pronounced yee-row) is a sandwich of spiced beef and lamb, slow-roasted on a vertical-spit broiler, sliced thin and served inside handmade, grilled pita bread.
The Original comes with onions, tomatoes, and a tangy Tzatziki sauce. The Maui Gourmet includes everything in the Original, plus cucumber, feta cheese and Greek olives.
The Kauai Cheese is served on a French baguette, and includes the two meats, grilled onions, tomatoes, a touch of Dijon mustard, Tzatziki sauce, and melted Monterey jack cheese.
Other popular dishes at the eatery include the Philadelphia (Philly) cheese steak sub, including steak, sauted onions, mushrooms and provolone cheese.
Served in the same style are chicken teriyaki and parmesan subs. A variety of cold subs, fresh salads, pizza and gourmet soups are also on the menus for lunch and dinner.
