Sometimes, the craving for a gyro and baklava takes me by storm. I saw this place had recently opened, and it was time get my fix.\n\nThe owner was behind the counter - incredibly friendly and excited to talk about his food. I asked for the gyro and baklava, and asked what else could I not live without - he told me the chicken shawarma was incredible, so I ordered that, as well.\n\nThere was nothing *wrong* with the gryo - and the menu does describe it as \"thinly sliced.\" Maybe I should have asked him to qualify that. It was shaved meat, not sliced meat. The flavor was spot on - but the texture was just...odd. And - my fault - I don't care for lettuce on my gryo - just the meat, tomato, onion, and tzatziki. The menu said lettuce - I should have asked for that to be left off. (It's impossible to get all the lettuce shreds off of sauced shredded meat.)\n\nThe chicken shawarma was okay - again, nothing wrong with it. But it was a bit too heavily seasoned. To the point I couldn't really tell it was chicken. \n\nThe baklava was perfect - and I will be back to check out more of the menu. Next time, I will ask the owner if he can slice the gyro a bit (a lot) thicker - more like the consistency of every other gyro I've ever had anywhere - and hold the lettuce. Based on the flavor of the meat - I would definitely go back for that!
