Hello!

A "gyro" is a popular Greek dish consisting of meat, usually beef, lamb, or chicken, cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served wrapped in a pita or flatbread, along with vegetables and tzatziki sauce.

Pronounced "YEE-roh," this flavorful sandwich is enjoyed worldwide for its rich taste and satisfying texture.

For example, you might order a gyro filled with tender lamb, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and creamy tzatziki sauce.

I hope this helps!
