I was so excited to try this spot after seeing all the positive reviews, as well as from hearing good things from a couple of people I met in the area, but, sadly, the reality of what I had was in stark contrast to my (high) expectation. I had the chicken wrap/gyros, and found the meat completely lacking in seasoning, and with no char, thus no texture beyond that of chopped up chicken thigh with bits of gristle/bone at times. Further, placing the fries underneath (vs. on top of) the chicken only serves to expedite their sogginess- not sure why they'd do that. The garlic sauce (or tzatziki, or whatever it was) was similarly lacking in flavour. Oh, and my pita was almost burnt. Just not a good product whatsoever, and bad first experience- doubt I'll revisit. For anyone willing to make the trek and interested in experiencing a truly great such chicken wrap/gyros, I recommend trying out Souv Like on Paper- again, it's very far from here, but...

When I saw the picture with the fries in the gyro on the website and immediately i remembered a similar place on yonge and Eglinton that had lineups out the door and down the street during lunch, every day. (Since then that place had closed unfortunately)
Yeah my picture of the gyro is a bit messy but you can see the person had savagedly attacked it cause it tasted so good. The chicken had been marinated well plus the fries were crispy in the outside and soft on the inside - perfect. The also allow a spicy version of the gyro but I didn't get it this time.
FYI, they do delivery through Skip, but if you're thinking that you would order ahead and then pickup: they did say that it gets so busy during lunch that they no way of picking up the phone. So if you're planning on getting lunch, the best way is to stand in line for pick up. And don't worry, the line up was very quick. They 4 people...
