Disclaimer: I have been eating gyro pita all over Greece since 2007 (Athens, Crete, Cyclades, and the North) I came here in July 2023 based on all the rave reviews and as much as I hate to say it, this was hands down the worst gyro I have ever had. Bland, meat too lean and dry, cut in large chunks. Not nearly enough meat in the pita, maybe 5 chunks total. Lacking in flavor. Meat on the spit was semi raw and overall hygiene was poor i.e. food and money handled by the same person, no gloves. I highly suspect that I got sick from eating here. Crete has the best food in all of Greece in my opinion and this was my only bad meal, if you can call it that. My guess is that the owner is sick of all the tourists and doest want to scale up to...

So my 5 five stars review is because of the quality of their product.
It is true that the portion is small (still worth it for me). Furthermore the lack of potatoes is because the traditional gyros used to be without potatoes. And for me, this gyros doesn't need any potatoes.
If you want potatoes (precooked plastic) and a big portion and you don't care about the quality of the gyros you gonna get then don't bother, try going...
