turkish kebabs are better
No but i wish i did try one 😋

Kudos to you for being the only foreigner I've heard pronounce γύρος correctly
That's how we say it in Chicago. We have a big Greek foods factory Kronos. My dad used to work there. He'd bring home fresh gyros and pita every week.
@@The_Gallowglass First time I've ever heard of an American pronouncing anything correctly, so this is noteworthy. Thanks for sharing.

I had "gyros" first when I lived in nyc but whatever they're putting there is total trash and I thought it was average at best. But gyros in Greece is on another level. The way it should be done and one of the best street foods out there
You are correct. Do not trust 'Greek food' abroad. It is rarely good and even more rarely Greek. To be honest, even in Greece, to find good gyros/souvlaki/etc nowadays you need to do some research
problem in the usa is everything is an import and somewhere techniques are lost, ingredients differ, with the best will in the world foods in the states are always poor imitations of those in their country of origin. and what the usa has done to bread (the factory commercial products) is a crime against humanity.
@@DaredeviIGRI dunno man. Australia has a massive Greek expat population, and most of the Yiros I bought there tastes great!
Yeah try some Döner instad from truditinal turkish placeses you will love it trust me its better
@@ozgurkurtoglu6005 I have tried both and I like them both, as a Greek. You cannot try pork gyros if you are religious, thus you cannot suggest one is better than the other.
Both are great and go with different things. The process might seem the same but the experience is different.
Went i went to greece i found no bad food, everything was delicious, from a cart on the street to any restaurant
Greeks don't put up with mediocre food.
it's very difficoult to find bad food in mediterranean countries 😅
It's so popular here in Germany that in my town almost 80% of restaurants are Greek.
Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I am Greek, new in Germany, last week found myself in rural NW. And even there, at a village, there was a Greek guy making gyros. There might be things I miss from home but grilled food isn't one of them. 😂
As a Turkish person, tasted it in a Greece cafe in Serbia. 10/10 perfect.
Greek-Turkish beef lol no offense
I tasted döner in İstanbul, 10/10, perfect, Ican tell as a Greek.

Gyros styles vary from region to region, city to city. The size, sauces, condiments, and spicing can vary greatly. Up north in Thessaloniki they put ketchup and mustard! Heathens 😂

@@astroboirapStop trolling. You replied the same words in almost all comments
@@astroboirap Not better, just different and delicious in their own right too.
@@astroboirapat the end of the day turks are more terrorists yes.
@@astroboirapcan't say I agree. I like Turkish kebabs but tzatziki is better than cacik
Gyros is so big in Greece, i just stumbled upon this youtube video while eating gyros lol!
For the first timers, When you order a gyro, you say i want 1)a pita with 2)type of meat( pork or chicken gyro, or pork/chicken skewer or beef patty or sausage) and 3) toppings (tzatziki or mustard sause, tomatos, onions etc).
The standard version is:
For pork meat: tzatziki sause, tomatos, onions and fries (if it is a traditional place they may not add fries and you may need to say you want them as extra topping)
For chicken meat: mustard sause, tomato, lettuce and fries (same rule about fries)
So now you know you can either say for example I want a pita with pork gyro and with everything (standard version) or you customise it.
I'm a native Texan, but the gyros I've had (with tzatziki) at Greek restaurants have been among my very favorite foods. I could be mistaken, but I thought the gyros I've had were made of lamb.
You will find not even one souvlaki grill shop with lamb in Greece.
So this concert must be American one.
@@kenmasters2034 Interesting! Thanks for the info! 🙂
With lamb its donèr and its turkish no tzatziki... greek is chicken or pork ... wraped 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯 no fry potato ..only tzatziki ..
@@kenmasters2034 That's interesting. Most of the greek places I go to have lamb available for gyros. I guess it is an American one.
The ones made in the States are a Beef & Lamb Combination.
In Greece, the traditional ones are:
Pork

Chicken
But you can also find with Beef & Lamb as well, just not as popular as the first two.

@@astroboirap Incorrect and only your opinion. Meanwhile in reality did you know that World Taste Atlas Put Pita Gyros nr 1 of best street food on earth? It completely wiped out Turkis Doner/ Kebab which is ranked way lower. OUCH. Also. We don't use low quality ingredients like in Turkey. Did you know that even this year based on the biggest study in Europe, the most adulterated honeys in Europe are Turkish and Chinese? Meaning. The lowest quality honey completely mixed with sugars and syrups, chemicals and bad things. Greece is not like Turkey. It's way better, way better quality of ingredients and recipes. Now sit back and eat that low ranked Turkish snack of yours
Thank you for the nice video about the most popular street food in Greece 👍
As an italian my opinion what make GYROS the best street food from different Mediterranea or Arab/Turkish street. Food. It's the delicious crispy pork....and the Greek oregano. what else!
Absolutely! Bravo Italia, you know good food! 👍🏻
For anyone who wants to give it a try, the souvlaki shops that are shown on this video are:
Achilleas in Neos Kosmos (best gyros in Athens, awarded by the no1 gastronomy magazine in Greece)
And Lefteris o Politis in Omonoia and Syntagma Square (best "kebab" in Athens, also awarded)

I remember my vacation on greek islands at Lefkada , I was just 20 & enjoyed souvlaki & greek pastries so good with cheese 😊❤
I love Lefkada.... greetings from Australia
Hello from Lefkada
I Love Greece ❤❤
Looks awesome! 👍
In northern Greece (thessaloniki/makedonia etc ) they serve different versions of gyros, in thick bread and with many other different types of sauce as well, p.ex. with cheese (tirokafteri), with various types of spice etc etc
Gyro lover here 😋😋
you're not supposed to stick them up your rectum
With all due respect, Gyros belongs to the streets, just the streets.
Juicy seasoned meat with tzatziki and garlic, fresh pita and vegetables. That's just simple and perfect recepie for a gyro!
💙 We have loved Greece for more than 5,000 years.💙
You are a Hellene?
Been to Greece many times.
In Thessaloniki, when you said "Apo ola", there is meat gyro, onions, tomato, french fries, ketchup and mustard
I want one now...
Damn, those things are good! I ate a boatload of them when I was there. Watching this video makes me want to go back just to have more.
Damn. You must be boat sized then.
Delicious right? The perfect food 😋
One of my favorite greek food 😋😋😋😋
man. i'm drooling.
What made gyros the most popular food, apart from the taste, was the low price as well. But now the prices almost doubled making it sometimes more expensive than a burger.
You will not find a burger that is cheaper than a gyro in Greece. Even a miserable hamburger without cheese will be at least 0.50€ more expensive than a pork gyro. Most burgers in Greece go for 6-7€, sometimes even double that if it's from a specialized burger joint.
@@johnhighway7399 apparently I cannot post links. Anyway. I ordered gyros 4 days ago and I paid 3.80. There is burger joint that the base burger costs 3.60.
And 3.80 for gyros is astronomical compared to how much it cost 5 years ago. Not to mention even earlier.
@@KC80SiXYeah, Gyros almost doubled in Price. But still so worth it for anyone traveling from abroad
Gyros is better than Döner in Berlin

I like gyros better than turkish donner as the donner so greasy
Good man
im turkish and objectively yes
I Agree! 👍🏻
@@MIKRASIATISSA👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My mouth watered.
The beauty of Gyros is that you will not have the same in all of Greece - for example, let's say you get a Gyros with chicken. In some restaurants in Athens, they will give you tzatziki sauce and in some others, "pink" sauce (mustard and ketchup). In Thessaloniki, they can even put ketchup! In Corfu, its common to put their "special" red sauce.
I think in the United States, the meat is usually beef and lamb?
The ideal gyros is pita, meat, tomato, onion, and sauce. Nothing more, nothing less. 😊
And parsley usually...
Some places put lettuce on them. It just doesn’t work for me.
definitely not lamb LOL
Pork! No lettuce, no parsley.
@@SmellsLikeNirvanna Pita is also in lamb. In many meat ways. Soutzouki, Lamb, Souvlaki, Gyros, bifteki, and many other ways.
Tzatziki feels wrong, but not gonna lie pita is a brilliant choice for it. We do it wrong in Turkiye with lavash.
Greece feels like home
This is my favorite food ! luckily you can find it around the world !
The part of the United States I'm from you can find shops all over who have Gyros some better then others, my favorite way is lamb with just grilled onion .
The stuff they have in the states is different. It’s shaved ground meat. Where this( in Greece) it’s actually meat.
Stuff in the states is nothing like the native one, when greeks look at the gyros in the states they feel uncanny because the meat there is usually processed and like grounded (greeks call it plastic as a joke), here in greece is always fresh pork meat or chicken if you are dieting!
@@icantmeme4378 Which is strange, because all other spit meats in the US, like doner, shawarma, and al pastor are just cut meat on skewers. I wonder why it became this ground thing (usually beef or lamb) in the US (I don't love it, either, that's why I usually give gyros a miss here in the US.
I remeber in the 90's Jack in the Box put it on their menu and had a whole ad campaign on how to pronounce gyros. It def wasn't the right way....
Can somebody explain to me what’s the difference and where to draw the line between gyros and shawarma
I’m in country where Greek cuisine is way too hard to find out
And usually it is super expensive
Both are knockoff’s of Doner from Turkey
They’re both an imitation
Shawarma : Middle Eastern (Levantine to be exact) version of the dish. Made with lamb, beef or chicken meat in flattened pieces form (in general. If you want pork it becomes Al Pastor thanks to Lebanese immigrants brought and updated the recipe in Mexico).
Döner: Turkish version (The OG version all of these some people say) It started as horizontal stacked version called "Cağ Kebap" (made with only lamb) and 2 centruies and hundreds of kilometers west on Anatolia later, it became vertical and beef started to use in minced form. In modern days it can be made with chicken / lamb / beef / even spicy sausage meat called sucuk in Turkey. During the 70s this dish brought into Europe (Germany/Austria) by Turkish workers / immigrants and it evolved into a new version which contains lots of veggies & sauces.
Gyros: Whatever you see in this video is way more enough to explain gyros in my opinion so i don't have anything to add other than Greek immigrants that moved to USA created a version made with fully minced meat and drown that meat with tatziki sauce and they're calling that Gyros too (with wrong pronounciation by English speakers of course :)
Gyros isn't minced meat but sliced pork fillets, one on top of it's other that creates this mass of meat you can see on the video...
@@phdimakopoulos543 If you read my message better, you would understand that i was mentioning the Americanized version of "gyros" in USA brought by Greek immigrants made it like that not the Greeks in Greece ;)
The most important difference is the meat. Middle Easterners are using lamb or beef and Greeks use mainly pork but you can also find chicken.
Can you link to the restaurant?
Achilleas, Spintharou 18, Athina 117 43, Greece
Yes, thank you for proper pronunciation.
Thank you DW ! Efxaristo, Danke se
Love Gyros. Surprised that they put the fries inside; here the fries come on the side.
To cut cost on the meat, it's a filler
Many greeks eat gyros while they take a walk (!!) in the town' s main road ("wifes bazaar") at night ... So fries must be inside 😊😊
@@___beyondhorizon4664
It's not a filler, the amount of meat is the same whether you want fries or not
@@___beyondhorizon4664Nope. Gyro meat will be exactly the the same regardless of fries or not
In Thessaloniki, pita-gyros is double size and with bigger variety of sauces. Tzatziki is not standard, my recommendation is to ask for paprika (pepper sauce, slightly spicy). Fries also come by default.
Best time is anytime 😂. Well saiddd
I'm here as a Greek to approve this message. No matter where i travel in the whole world, from Brazil to Thailand, my first meal will be local cuisine, second meal of the day "let's find some gyros".
ate twice outside of greece and i threw it away. i wouldnt even give it to my dogs. these people are just disgracing our food lol
Where did you get gyros in Thailand?
I prefer Greek Gyros instead of the Turkish Kebab counterpart. The soft bread, the white garlic sous. The fresh salate. mmmmmmmmm!
Turkish version better, you need to find the right place :)
Or maybe you are greek 😅
@@eren3390 it's personal preference, same as preferring bulgarian yogurt instead of greek.
By the way, Kebap and Döner ( which some people call gyros or shwarma ) are completely different foods.
@@faceofdeadwell, yoghurt is Turkish. Dont know how a Turkish product can become bulgar or greek

@erdemozcan5435 buzuki is a middle eastern instrument not a turkish one. Buzuki has 3 strigs while the greek buzuki has 6. An instrument similar to modern buzuki is represented in the temple of parthenon in the acropolis. The ancient greeks called it pandourida. It s a predecessor of the lute, of the buzuki, of the lyra etc all those instruments existed in ancient greece. But our national instrument in which our folk songs are written is the flute. You can google greek folk songs like karagouna, itia, amarantos, milo mou kokino etc and you ll see none of our folk songs has bouzouki in it. Bouzouki is mainly played in rebetiko songs songs written after 1930. Our folk songs from the middle ages till now have only flute and guitar. But your mania to say everything greek is turkish stems from your nationalism for which you should find therapy instead of spaming greek videos and me and wasting my time trying to correct the unhistorical lies you write.
Souvlaki is only one thing. The thing Athenians, and only Athenians, call kalamaki. What Atheneans call souvlaki, all over Greece except Athens is called "pitta with souvlaki or gyros or ....."

I need to drive for five hours to get one. But it's all worth it as I've never had even an equal to those I get there.

There's no debate about chips inside gyros. In whole Greece we eat it with chips. Some people want to increase their profit. Apart from that, the place looks ideal for... tourists. Very small sandwiches; a Greek would complain.
I don't add fry potato ... only tzatziki onions...😅
Looks similar to the famous Syrian Shawrma, thicker bread, though!
I'm Egypt also
Is shwrma made with Pork?
I see that you take gyros from Achilleas in Neos Kosmos area. Top 5 in Athens for sure!!! And Kosta is for sure the best souvlaki in athens with tomato salsa!!
That looks delicious not gonna lie
Don't trust Athenians for naming things. They're confused and they'll just confuse you more!
Gyros = gyros (not souvlaki)
Souvlaki = skewer meat
There, two distinct things for everyone to easily understand what you're talking about.
As for kebabs, falafel, humus and things like that... They're middle eastern food and not consumed anywhere else in Greece than Athens.
No question just gib.
Better than Döner TBH, anything Chicken or pork is good.
I'm sure it is very nice, but a local bar near my university used to serve the best damn pizzas in the whole Northern Europe. The guy who runs the place is origically Greek, funny enough (the best pizzas in Southern Europe are made by his brother, who lives in Greece). But then they changed their menu, and exchanged those pizzas for gyros. I was deeply disappointed. Those pizzas were so perfect: the perfect thin crust, just the right amounf of toppins and in perfect balance. God I miss those pizzas.

hows this different from shawarma?
Basically be it a Gyro, a Shawarma or a Döner, they use the same technique of preparing the meat by keeping it rotating near heat. The difference comes with the type of bread they use, for example gyros are made with thick Pita breads, whereas Döner or Shawarma usually with a thin flat bread. Gyros has meat, tomatoes, onions (sometimes fries) with a sauce( similar to sour cream). Shawarma has meat, onions, tomatoes and pickled vegetables with toum sauce( garlic flavored white sauce). While Döner has meat + all these vegetables, Tzatziki ( white sauce) and a spicy sauce ( usually Ezme) . Also the spice mix that goes into the meat might be different.

Now that we have a war about who’s souvlaki is, let’s talk Greek salad...
Whose is Souvlaki? 😃
".. But when the thigh-pieces were wholly burned, and they had tasted the inner parts, they cut up the rest and spitted and roasted it, holding the pointed spits in their hands .."
-Homer
[Odyssey 3.461-463]
«.. αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ κατὰ μῆρ᾽ ἐκάη καὶ σπλάγχνα πάσαντο, μίστυλλόν τ᾽ ἄρα τἆλλα καὶ ἀμφ᾽ ὀβελοῖσιν ἔπειραν, ὤπτων δ᾽ ἀκροπόρους ὀβελοὺς ἐν χερσὶν ἔχοντες ..»
-Ὅμηρος
[Οδύσσεια 3.461-463]
------------
".. Then he went on from task to task: first he cut up the rich, fatted meat, and pierced it with wooden spits, and roasted flesh and the honorable chine and the paunch full of dark blood all together .."
-Homeric Hymns
[Hymn 4: To Hermes 120-124]
«.. ἔργῳ δ᾽ ἔργον ὄπαζε ταμὼν κρέα πίονα δημῷ: ὤπτα δ᾽ ἀμφ᾽ ὀβελοῖσι πεπαρμένα δουρατέοισι σάρκας ὁμοῦ καὶ νῶτα γεράσμια καὶ μέλαν αἷμα ἐργμένον ἐν χολάδεσσι: ..»
-Homeric Hymns
[Hymn 4: To Hermes 120-124]
^^^Anything older than this from our 🦃ic friends? 😂
Greek Salad is Simply Greek. Feta Cheese aka Prosfato, is what makes the Greek Salad.
turks didn’t even have ONE CHEESE listed in TasteAtlas Top 100.
Meanwhile: Greece, Italy, & France had 20 Each on the list 😃
Greek food 😂 really? Try to say Döner✌️
Try to say Pork
Yes it is greek food. We consume it in Greece, and it is something that no matter how much I try I CANNOT find in Turkey. The technique is the same but the final product is very different in taste. You have lots of tasty foods in Turkey but your doner durum is just too BORING.
@@MrGiovanniOSFP You should visit me when comeback Istanbul again, I add fresh mint, grated carrots, pepper, dill, sumac, garlic and lots of fresh tomatoes.
Result: seductive when consumed with Ayran :P
@@MrGiovanniOSFP from Wikipedia; Grilling a vertical spit of stacked meat and slicing it off as it cooks was developed in Bursa[12] in the 19th century in the Ottoman Empire. After the 1922-23 Population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the Greeks brought their variation with them to Greece. Following World War II, Gyros made with lamb (called as döner kebab by some restaurants) was present in Athens.[13][12] It was likely introduced by immigrants from Anatolia and the Middle East.[5][14] The Greek version is normally made with pork and served with tzatziki, and became known as gyros.[15][16] Chicken Gyros is also very popular however.
@@kaanyagzer8536Your food is garbage. I also tried all variations. Not impressed at all. L
Gyro Dominates! 😃
