Mr ,Gyros is an American Greek restaurant at Al-jazeera petrol station . I had this strange idea the other day to try their gyros. I managed to overcome my phobia of petrol station eateries after the deadly blast in February . And I put my prejudices aside about American cuisine as well.
What can go wrong with a gyros ?- I thought . The marinated slices of steaks are roasted on rotating spit and cut and served with salad and pita bread .It simply can't be spoilt ...
Well ,well - I was very naive . I love shawarma as well but I wished to eat gyros the way we used to have it in Hungary .Much better than the shawarma around here . I remember a friend of mine who married a khaleeji guy then when in Hungary he found it very strange that a country like Hungary have far better and more delicious shawarma /gyros than the wealthy place where he grew up .
Money can't buy everything -it seems .
Well - we bought our gyros meal around 40 rials . We got a tray with the meat /some rice .dressing ,salad . Then I got the big surprise - this American gyros tasted no gyros at all -but it had the taste of canned meat .
If you do not mind that then I can recommend the place - it is the usual American look - posters on the wall -nice wooden chairs -polite service ... even their banana milk shake was nice .... for 20 rial !
Otherwise I felt it was pure waste of money .
