Where it comes from
Gyros is a quintessential Greek dish that showcases the influence of Middle Eastern cooking on Greek cuisine. Traditionally made with pork or chicken cooked on a vertical rotisserie, gyros has become a popular street food across the globe. An interesting tidbit is that gyros is often served with a side of fries tucked inside the pita for added indulgence.
