Gourmet Gyros in SoBro. Sometimes I just want a plain old gyros sandwich, like what you can get at King Gyros in Bloomington or Mr. Greek Gyros in Chicago. Sam’s spicy gyros sandwich is on an entirely different level, and it adds a nice dimension to my gyros universe.They soak the meat in spicy sauce and actually stuff it inside the pita (as opposed to wrapping the pita around it like they do at many places), so a nice puddle of sauce forms in the bottom of the pita. This makes for a really nice finish, since you’re not just eating plain bread at the end. Your hands also stay clean if you’re careful and don’t blow out the side of the pita in the middle of the sandwich. The meat is abundantly juicy and flavorful. Yum.The cucumber sauce is good, and they put plenty on. The cucumbers are diced, so you get a nice bite and more cucumber flavor than when they’re shredded. It also tastes like there’s some dill in there. Just enough to add a nice touch of flavor.This is a sandwich you eat one deliberate bite at a time, savoring the mix of flavors and textures in each bite. It’s definitely an experience. Highly recommended.We also tried the falafel, which was tasty but failed to impress like the gyros did. Finally, we had the saganaki. It tasted fairly standard, but the portion was large, which was a plus.
Worst Falafel Ever. Garbage.
Beware of Take-Out. Live about 20 minutes from Sam’s. After getting home with a take-out order, we realized that they included the fries for a kid’s gyro but forgot the gyro. When I called to see about getting a refund for the kid’s meal, instead of quickly doing so, I could hear him discussing with the cook about if he included the gyro (as if I was trying to get away with something). After being on the phone for about 15 minutes and hearing the employees continue to bicker over what to do, they hung up. When I tried to call back a while later, they would not answer the phone. I have enjoyed their food over the years, but will not be eating there anytime soon after this experience.
Incredibly Average. I’ve lived in the area (meridian kessler) for years. And I’ve witnessed the evolution (de-evolution) of sam’s gyros. Before the renovation, it was what it was. Average food, for an average price, no presumptions. Now, with a complete renovation, which looks admittedly much better, the cover does not resemble the content. The gyros are maybe as good as they used to be, and the falafel is gross. Hopefully its shipped and pre-packaged from somewhere, I shudder to think that someone actually made this by hand (and I’d bet a thousand bucks it isnt). If you’re willing, make the trip to Adele’s, he makes his falafel fresh every day, and his spanakopita is freaking sweet. Oh, yeah, and he doesnt charge you 10 bucks for a gyro and nothing else. Seriously avoid this place, you don’t have to go to Adele’s but dont waste your time here.
Spicy Gyro, get it!. Always gonna go with the spicy from now on. Possibly enough for two people. Well done.
Best Gyros In Town, Hands Down. One of the reasons I wished I lived in the Broad Ripple area. I tell you, it should be easy to get this stuff right. But their cucumber sauce is absolutely, positively, the best I’ve ever had and it complements the spicy gyro perfectly. Meat is never dry, and the pita is fluffy and a pocket (much preferred in my opinion to a flatbread sandwich)Oh yeah, their hummus and schwarma are to die for also.
Bad service. We came in at 9:38 and they close at 10. We said we wanted to eat in and they made a point of checking the clock and telling us we could eat as long as we were done by 10. Most good eateries accept customers until they close. They won’t be getting my business at any hour.
