“If you don’t have a rotisserie...”
Bro my card got declined on a bag of taki’s
Bro are you ok？？？
how can you not have a rotisseire... tsk tsk tsk.
Let's start a gofundme so this man can afford his takis and a rotisserie
@@fakenews938 I agree
lmaoooo
Tzatziki tip from a Greek: Grate the cucumber in the big cheese grater and then squeeze all the liquid out. LITERALLY GAME CHANGING! In Greece we never cut the cucumber, we only grate it. Plus we use vinegar instead of lemon ☺️
Make babaghanoush!
I was a little upset he didn't grate and squeeze. But thanks for the vinegar tip! Noted!
Finally! Someone spoke the truth
Yes! That's how we make it!
White vineger or another?
Tips from a Greek 🇬🇷: if you are using the rotisserie that Joshua used to rotate the gyros put a whole tomato 🍅 on top!! We do that in Greece and literally adds a lot to the flavour of gyros!! Also you can grate the cucumber strain it and put it in the tzatziki . Last the pita bread is thinner and bigger here in Greece so try to make it thinner but not too thin !!
Seen a few people in the comments who say he made cyprian pita bread instead of greek. Where you're meant to cut open and use the pita as a pocket with what Josh made
That's so interesting, when making tacos al pastor in Mexico we use a rotisserie like that and put a pinneaple on top.
@@shardj5151 That pita he made is basically the same stuff as "somun" we make in Serbia, and it is meant to be cut open and, well, we put a serbian style of burgers (pljeskavica) there (or, basically, anything else from the bbq).
@@Lennyman That's the same principle, I guess.
As a greek, I can say that this man has put more effort into this souvlaki than most Greek gyros places
exactly
Isnt souvlaki meat on a stick?
@@thepunisher3160yeah, what he is refering to is souvla which is just meat on a spit, souvlaki is the mini kabab type version. most of the greek gyros places ive been to use souvlaki instead of a shawarma type cook but regardless this is a great video
@zorba noodle in athens, people call "gyros" a souvlaki, its just an area thing
@@ThyMonstiur ah gotcha, whatever its called it tastes great!
Tzatziki tip: Scrape out the watery core of the cucumber and discard. Grate the cucumber with the big holes on your grater, salt the grated cucumber and let it sit for like 5 minutes. Squeeze excess water from the cucumber. Tastes much better than just cubing the cucumber.
just grate it , i dont recomend squeezing it as you lose a lot of liquid/some flavor if you can fing high quality yoghurt though as it wont get runny , in other case you can squeeze it
@@stergiosdardas7235 no he is correct the water you lose is just that water there is no flavor loss but josh uses English cucumber no seeds core so very little water
@@jamesdizzle420 I dont know if it depends on the specific cucumber variety but for the ones that I use it does take away flavor and texture.
You should let the cucumber sit for a minute combined with white vinegar. And drain it after. Makes a big different
I generally see 3 varieties of cucumber, standard thick skin, fat and watery core cucumbers, hothouse "English" cucumbers are long, thin skinned and usually sold wrapped in plastic, and miniature Persian cucumbers. even if an English cucumber isn't as watery as standard, it still seems like a good idea to salt the cuke before mixing it in. soaking an English cucumber in vinegar might flavor it, but i don't think vinegar will remove the water from a standard cuke like salt and 15 minutes will. so either grating it or using cheesecloth would work, also cheesecloth can be used if you have standard yogurt instead of strained yogurt (basically any ethnicity of yogurt that isn't French, but Greek has gone mainstream so you gotta make sure it's actually strained instead of just thickened with starch)
“I love your pita” “Thanks! It has pockets!”
GIRLS DO BE LIKE
Nearly spit out my wine. Lmao 😂
Love this 😂😂😂
Lmaooo
...
A couple small tips from a Greek. Pita is usually a lot thinner and usually they spread tzatziki on the pita before the gyros. Also cucumber is grated and then sqeezed and vinegar is used instead of lemon. Also tzatziki usually contains healthy amount of garlic.
Man this video is so well put together and the gyro looks delicious. Instant subscribe!!!👍🏽
Those pita breads Are gorgeous. As a retail bakery manager for the past 20 years, I am more than happy to give customers frozen Kaiser rolls in raw form To make pita bread at home the same way. So stop by your local supermarket bakery and ask. They should be able to help

Same here, droooolll
The kind of pita you made was a middle eastern style pita that has a pocket. Greek/Mediterranean pitas are generally thinner and so when they cook they don't puff up as much resulting in no pocket, hence why Gyros are traditionally placed on top and folded like a taco.
Stole my words
Middle eastern pita bread (in syria and lebanon ) do have a pocket, but they are way thinner, that's why stuffing it would'nt work. They can be opened resulting in two thin layers of bread .. his pita is more like egyptian / palestinian pita bread to me, and I imagine would work better stuffed than wraped like a taco ..
@@ayhmherh1809 agreed!
But nobody is putting pork in this type of bread, cmon now
It was a Cypriot Pita he made … not all Greek pita are flat breads :p
I love what you did with both the pita and the meat! Most places here in Greece don't take care of their gyro s meat half the way you did...I mean your version of gyros is so high quality that I could even consider it a gourmet version of gyros!
Omg! This looks amazing! Also I love your editing style!
As a Greek man, I am SOOOOOO happy that you pronounced gyro and tzatziki properly lol

Tried both today. Soooo yummy!! Thanks a lot ♥

Hey Josh! Big fan of your channel. Some "greek tips". Gyros is usually made with pork tenderloin but your version is great as well. Traditional tzatziki has yogurt, cucumber, olive oil and as much garlic you can handle. I don't mind the lemon zest and juice, it'll be tart and gorgeus, don't know about the herbs tho, I'll try it. Your pita looks amazing, way better than what you'll get served around here. Last but not least every gyros has french fries and depending on the location others use plain yogurt instead of tzatziki (yogurt and pork goes great as is) and occasionally paprika on top of the french fries, lettuce and mustard. It's usually wrapped like a big taco as mentioned but it can be served with various ways. Great video, have a nice day!
I see Josh is flexing on Arby’s gyros without mentioning them. I like it.
*But Better theme intensifies*
what’s arbys
@@rushpotts5991 look up “We have the Meats”. It’s an American restaurant that specializes mainly in roast beef sandwiches here in America. Lots of seasonal items with gyros being one of them. The only things I like there is the Brown Sugar BLT sandwiches but they’re way too pricey and I can just make them at home.
@@rxanime535 ☠️
the gyro isn't an Arby's creation, its Greek fast food and became popular at Greek ran diners or pizzerias in the US way before Arby's started selling crappy knock offs
Papa's Greek pronunciation was spot on! Love how he seeks out authentic recipes and uses metric.
Favorite cooking channel right now, hands down
YES...I did learn so much! I love you last comments Josh. Only suggestions on your part, I wish people would just walk away with that and use what they need from your instructions. I learn so much from every video that you put out here and I have been an excellent cook and baker ( personally & professionally ) for decades now. A big Thank You for all of your hard work. Keep on keeping on!
I feel like he has so much fun complementing his own work at the end of each vid
He really does, but it's fun to watch.
Ok as a Greek felt proud of what i saw. Tzatziki sauce was good enough but if you want you can make it simpler or traditional,
Just add the yogurt - dill - salt - 1tbsp apple/wine vinegar - 1 whole cucumber grated and wring it till dry - 3-4 cloves of grated garlic and here you are :D
Btw keep up the good work Joshua every video you made is beyond awesome
Καλά αλλάζει γενικά κι εμείς λεμόνι βάζουμε αλλά μέντα ναι πρώτη φορά το βλέπω.
@Jay Nds Stop having cultural complex, Gyros was made in Greece like forever also pita is greek also and Tzatziki. Stop trying to take something as your own when it's not
@Jay Nds I am Greek dumbass I know my culture and my foods feel sorry for you for having so much complex
@Jay Nds seems like you need to educate yourself and not believe whatever you read on Google
@Jay Nds You literally said that every food you saw in the video is not Greek but Turkish, because thats what you read from Google.....when its know from many years that Gyros is Greek and the way they were making him, also Tzatsiki....Maybe yogurt is Turkish too you never know.
Absolutely nailed the taziki sauce.... And coming from a Greek you did it perfectly wrap it like a taco 🌮 bravo 👏
Made this today, it slaps so hard. Well worth it. I doubled the amount of Naan and this fed 6 people very well. Thx
I’m greek and let me tell you that this is the way to do it, it looks delicious! Maybe you could make the pita a little bigger and add fried potatoes to make it even batter
*better
French fries with paprika powder*
So you're greek and you think this is a proper tzatziki?

I baked the pitas from this recipe. They turned out exactly like the ones in the video. 10/10 would recommend.
They look fantastic. As a chef of 30 years, who's been Executive Chef in a Greek restaurant, and my sister is a chef owner of a restaurant bar, Skopelos Greece. I'd say they'd say this looks fantastic. The only thing I'd change. More vinegar in the meat marinade, with both Rosemary and Oregano. The yogurt they hang in a cheese cloth for a few days to make it less watery. They lightly peel them, core them, then grate them, followed by squeezing the water from them before mixing them to the yogurt.
Apart from those mistakes. I'd say it looks fantastic. He could easily open an upper class fast food with them looking like that. Great job.
Oh. I need to do a Google search on that Shawarma. It looks cool. I hope they paid him to endorse it. As he did it justice.

I admire and am jealous how Josh can create his own recipes. I've been working in the kitchen for years and I do variations and make small changes to recipes I use but have no idea how to create my own recipes from scratch.
I used to feel the same but I believe it all starts with adjusting recipes and techniques that you’ve learned from someone or someplace. Every dish is inspired from another or a fusion of different things even different culture dishes. Over time, you become more comfortable with what flavors go well together and you start experimenting more. Then write down what works and tweak what doesn’t.
imagine having all this work for a meal. Pure madness!!
Maybe it’s the Armenian/Turk in me, but I always eat lamb in my gyros. Family chained restaurant I ate in Laval called “Marathon Souvlaki” growing up was Greek owned off the boat and that’s what I ate daily. Chicken is good and pork is too, but lamb hits different for me.
Lamb is always my preference for spit roasted meats - for gyro, shawarma, etc. Lamb is besssssst. Ive never liked beef gyro for some reason... But i do at times enjoy chicken gyro... But im very mixed on chicken shawarma
American-style gyro is almost always beef, but Greek gyro comes only in two varieties: pork and chicken. That being said, you're welcome not to prefer the authentic version.
@@karlpoppins I didn't know, I was on Kos in 2019 and the place we ate (most often) had chicken and lamp as options (but Turkey is just a boat ride away so that might have something to do with it). I should definitely try it with pork when I can go back.
@@TolaAlfrunKikula I would highly recommend it. It's the default option, and in fact I had never heard of a Greek gyro joint serving lamb gyro before you mentioned it.

As a greek, seeing someone from the us make ACTUAL real looking gyros makes me wanna cry, thank you lord joshua
Yeah but the saddest part is that you should cut a small hole in the pita and put the shawarma inside and not outside of the pita like he did
This is why he’s called Papa.
@@free_palestine792 actually no we don't cut holes in our pitas here in Greece we wrap the ingredients with pita

AT LAST!! Finally a non-Greek person that pronounces AND makes gyros properly!! Way to go, Joshua mah maaan, your σουβλάκι looks delish! Greetings from Greece 😁
I wouldnt say thats a good way to make gyros but whatever
@@adeallapashtica9003 actually this is the way they do it everywhere they sell souvlaki. But the truth is they get it frozen and they don't make it themselves.
@@hermione2067 way of makings correct but like i just doesnt look the same lmfao. You know they are much thinner and with chips 😂😂

Lamb always! But this looks so good and super authentic. My family approves🤣
Yesssss he said it right im so proud
I am sure it is delicious, would smash 💯!
HOWEVER as a Greek living in Greece I have to mention some things as an fyi:
1) in Greece we do not use the puffy pita bread, but a wider flat version that closes almost like a tortilla. The one Joshua makes looks like what we call cypriot pita (some places offer it as an alternative however). Just as delicious but usually it is opened from one side and the ingredients go inside like stuffing
2) we do not add mint in the tzatziki or on top either (I'm not aware of any region of Greece that does this, but definitely would try)
3) it is not considered traditional but I'm sure it has been decades already that almost every single tavern/gyro place in Greece adds fries inside the pita by default.
That's all 😁
Well said!
Mint in tzatziki is generally something us cypriots do, and not even cypriot pita is that puffy althought they do look similar.
Im geek, you cant IMAGINE how happy i was when he pronounced gyros correctly and him saying tzatziki correctly just made it better. Joshua you just made my day :)
So true ; )
Haha! Geek!
@Πλουμη Ορφανου that's how you pronounce it? Wow... Btw in my country (mostly Turkish ppl) stuffs the pocket of the pita with the things :)

In Greece they add fries in the Gyros, I've been there and they're the best thing I've ever tasted, good job Josh
Those pitas look amazing.
Two tips I learned from a Greek friend of mine regarding Tzatziki:
Grating the cucumber and then squeezing out the water improves the flavours of the Tzatziki a ton.
(the less water you have in your Tzatziki, the better).
And letting the Tzatziki rest a bit (~ 1 hour) in the fridge also improves the flavours.

Josh soon flexing on us by breeding his own animals. Harvesting his own tomatoes isn't enough flex.
A couple of nuanced things to an otherwise dynamite take on gyro. Primarily it's that the pita bread in the video is more of the Arabic style, with the pocket. Greek pita bread normally resembles a thicc tortilla and is prepared the same way - on a hot surface and turned over (that's why you've always seen it wrapped like a taco). Others already mentioned this also, but lot of times they are indeed served with fries wrapped with the meat. Don't forget to finish with paprika!
Yeah the bread seemed like it was Khubz - Arabic Bread just a bit thicker.
@@mohammedmuneeb6888 no
I saw greeks saying how spot on it is, and im like "Why the bread so thick and where the fries at tho"
@@lolicafighter8124 yep the bread is to thick and it needs fries
@@lolicafighter8124 no greek person will say this is spot on? Please, the tzatziki is made wrong, the pita is wrong, there are no fries (pretty normal in greece, though ofc traditional gyros are mostly eaten without fries).
When make ours we alternate layers of seasoned fat ground meat with layers of sliced joints of meat, we find this helps use get a more even chub diameter with the base plate, the extra fat works well to. Rather than a regular pita we make the Turkish donner bread a Pide, cut into quarters and stuff like they do in Berlin donners or just use wraps/tortilla if feel lazy. We found using an electric carving knife for slicing the gyro meat to be the best and easy way to shave the chub, best way we have found to use a rather iffy christmas gift. The Prymat guro/donner premade seasoning is pretty good and the closest we have found to the gyro/donner take aways we have found sofar. Take care, God bless one and all.

As a person who grew up in middle east... I'm getting cultural shocked that you roll it like tacos...
And I'm already not saying a thing about “why are you making shwarma with pork” because I absolutely know what is gyros 🤣
To be clear, is it still considered gyro like this with pork? I was under the impression that gyro was lamb or lamb and beef only and that meat like this is shwarma. I just want to understand your comment.
@@davidrosaschi342 Shwarma is Arabic, and you'll very rarely see pork in Arabic food for obvious reasons. Pork is used for gyros sometimes, but less often than lamb or chicken, at least in the states (I think in Greece pork gyro is much more common). The other thing is tzatziki; tzatziki is a Greek sauce. If you see tzatziki, it's probably gyro, and if you see tahini, it's probably shwarma. Both come from the Turkish doner kebab though, so there are definitely some similarities. But, yeah, gyro is a Greek food, shwarma is an Arabic food.
Edit: oh, also, gyros tend to be principally flavored with herbs, and shwarma with spices, but of course both of them will use both.
@@davidrosaschi342 Pork gyros is one of if not the most common type of gyros eaten in Greece
@@hihey229 I did not know that thanks
@@zaynelumpkin huh I never really thought about that. My mother's family is Lebanese but has been in the states so long that they have lost most of the recipes to make stuff, so my experience has mostly been with restaurants. It always seemed like ground lamb donner kebab style is what is usually called gyro, although I have also seen ground chicken formed the same way.
Shawarma to me has almost always been chicken that looks more like what he cooked, where it was seasoned chunks slow roasted then carved off so you could still see the muscle fibers and get that texture.
Honestly this is the first time I have ever seen pork at all served in this style. Thats why I was so confused as the spices said shawarma to me, but he called it gyro.
Since this is mostly spices and not herbs, doesn't that mean this is closer to shawarma in flavor, but served with tzatziki?
I am confused as to what the defining characteristic of gyro vs shawarma is. Is it the meat choice? The preparation method (ground vs chunks)? The spices vs herbs for seasoning? The sauce it is served with?
Anyone else forget this guy exists for a few days but get excited cos you know when you remember him there's gonna be some fire content to watch
Dude im greek and i had a foodgasm just now ,good job man
