synaesthesia Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Woot! Gyro cart at 15 and M. They also have a gyro salad , will have to stop by at lunch time and see how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaesthesia Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 $5.95 for a gyro. Really thick tzitzaki and feta cheese sprinkled on top. The meat seems pretty typical for most gyro. Not bad, and just around the corner for me. But probably not worth going out of your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterriffs Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Really thick tzatziki GOOD. Too many a gyro has been ruined by someone who doesn't know how to strain yogurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Would you do a full compare/contrast with Marathon Deli and Zorba's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giant shrimp Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 But probably not worth going out of your way. from my perch, i could literally spit on the gyro cart. but nobody around here can tell me anything about it. i think this is its first week in that spot, and the next gyro i plan on eating will be at st. sophia's picnic in a couple of weeks, which is not too much farther away from me than spitting distance. they have the largest variety of greek pastries i know about, although i have never been in a greek bakery.

giant shrimp Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 This is the festival up by Wisconsin and Massachusetts? yes, may 16-18. some of the neighbors have soured on it because they think it's gotten too big and noisy. the pastry counter is in the church basement.

I feel like most people are very hesitant to buy anything but packaged goods from the street carts. My friend and I eat at the Korean cart pretty regularly, and everyone always asks us where we got the food, but when it comes down to it none of them can be bothered. So that might be part of it. I would say it's definitely not as complex as the Greek Deli version. I only had one bite so I can't do the best compare and contrast. I think there is some sort of... I don't what else to call it... gyro federation, where I think there's some standardized gyro meat. If I recall that's what they have at Marathon in College Park, but at least the toppings here seem superior. And I thought it was a little bit more crisp on the edges than Zorba's.

The Hersch Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Speaking of gyros, is anyone familiar with the Turkish/doner kebab place Rumi Mediterranean Kitchen at 20th and L? I'm not, but I'm wondering if it's any good. It's just within lunch range of my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 federation? more like monopoly --kronos ahhh, the old cone of pressed meat product. when I was at SUNY Albany there was an Israeli take out joint and the dude would have an actually leg of lamb spinning on the spit roaster...that was some good shite! 15th and M might be a little too far to walk for pressed meat cone, but I would support gyro cart, if said gyro cart also was a falafel cart! Is this dude just doing gyro or are there any falafel to be had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilrus Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 After working across the street from the cart and enjoying his gyros many time for a year I just noticed this thread. Unfortunately, said cart hasn't been around for a couple months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
