Choose from succulent chicken or tender lamb served over your choice of spicy red or milder yellow rice, each dish topped with the signature white sauce and a vibrant red hot sauce for a flavor-packed experience. The lamb gyro wraps juicy slices of lamb in warm pita bread, complemented by fresh salad and the same iconic sauces, delivering a handheld feast that's both satisfying and flavorful.
