On separate occasions I’ve visited Gyros & Grill to try their gyros and kabobs. Their kabobs tended to be on the lean, tough and well-done side, but their beef gyros are spot on. If you pick up the combo, you can get either fries or salad with that. The salad is generally on display, pre-tossed, and typical salad fare. Fries are thicker than usual, with a better-than-average seasoning (probably the best fries available from this strip mall). I’ve also had their hummus and suspected it came from Central Market.

They have expanded their menu since my last visit, offering tacos, pizza, sandwiches, fish (grilled and fried) and rotisserie chicken on their menu. However I have one gripe with their posted menu. Often times one can’t figure out what combos are available and no descriptions are given on the picture menu. A little cleanup and de-cluttering is in order, methinks.

Gyros & Grill sits on the corner of a strip mall neighboring Grill Express. The dining room is smaller than other cafes on this strip, so large parties may have to get their Greek fix to-go.

FYI, a sign on their food counter indicates they are halal, though I did not ask to verify this.

Two words: Butter Chicken. 10 minutes and 2 music videos later, I was out the door and on my way home for some buttah luvin.

Tender chicken, a slow-burn spiciness, and delicious creamy sauce. Paired with rice and at $7.99 a plate, it made for a marvelous lunch. It was even too much for me to finish, and I normally gorge on this stuff.

I’ve also had their large wedge-shaped samosas (beef, chicken and veggie). Paired with their chutney it makes for great snacking.

This is a non-descript cafe, appropriate for casual lunches, and an unintimidating atmosphere for Indian food newbies.
