Yiro Yiro — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I've been here twice. Food is excellent, and you get a LOT for the money. Had the beef/lamb plate with fries as a side. Came with a small chopped salad (very fresh) and warm pita. They accommodated my request for an extra skewer (even though they technically only come as singles if you order the skewer plate. I guess they require work because my pork was grilled to order. I'm glad they did, though because this souvlaki (actually what the skewer is) was PHENOMENAL. Seared to perfection, and very juicy, it made me regret my original order. The beef/lamb was OK.. a little gristle as some others have mentioned, but not a deal killer. The Yiros are made with real muscle (not the ground meat Gyros we are used to.) It's more like we think of as Shawarma, but seasoned differently. I went back to sample the pork Yiro, and it was superb. I got some education there (learned that pork is preferred in Greece.) Also, as I came in a little later (as opposed to dead noon on my last visit) the pork was shaved right off the cone and put on my pita. There was no steaming of the meat, and the crispy bits made for a first class mouth experience. The place is spotless (looks like a well-run chain, but it's not) and the staff was friendly (as Greeks are.) I'll be back often. It was even easy to park! Oh ... and we all know that many English words can be traced to Greek. There is probably a word for people who are too cheap to spend $5.00 for baklava as a dessert. DO NOT allow yourself to be called that word. Just order the f____g baklava. You KNOW you want it. You won't be sorry...

If you're on the hunt for a delicious late lunch, look no further! I recently visited a charming spot in manayunk. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find no wait time to place my order, making it a breeze to dive into the culinary experience.

The ambience of the restaurant is inviting—open and clean, with plenty of tables for diners to enjoy their meals. It’s the perfect setting for a casual lunch or a quick bite. As I settled in, I noticed a steady stream of customers coming in and out, picking up their orders, which speaks volumes about the popularity of this place.

For my meal, I opted for a gyro and a platter with rice, and let me tell you, it was fantastic! The flavors were vibrant and satisfying. To complement our main dishes, we also ordered a side of French fries, grape leaves stuffed with rice, and falafels. Each item was fresh and clean, showcasing the quality of the ingredients used.

I highly recommend stopping by and trying out their food. Whether you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for a tasty meal, this spot is...

Honestly a very pleasant place. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good food. I ordered a bottle of soda, a pork belly Yiro, with spicey Tzatziki sauce. Along with an order of rice pilaf.

The Yiro was flavorful with fresh veggies and seasonings. A good amount of meat. And the sauce was spicy but a mellow spice. Not enough to burn your mouth but quite complimentary to the rest of yiro. Very good...satisfying. the rice pilf was actually a surprise how good it was as many restaurants don't make such fluffy rice. The rice also has seasoning which was pleasant. Between the entire, side order or rice and the soda. The total ws about 17$ while it may sound high for some foods. This is no McDonald's. You get good food freshly prepared. Worth it.

They have many delicious sounding things on the menu. I will be looking forward...
