Do you know the name? That sounds interesting... |

Try the restaurant on Elston & Kedzie, I think the "Sunnyside," - they have a nice Gyro Omelet! But they're not open during dinner time!

I don't know the name of the Gyros place near DePaul, but I can ask my cousin. The gyros place my great aunt used to own on Lawrence, she sold back in the early 80's. Don't know what happened to it. |

-Marcos Beef on Fullerton and Austin, went yesterday.
It was decent.
-Lucky Dog in Cicero, Melrose Park and Berwyn have good Gyros... the cream is not the one I'm used to though.
The Melrose Park one gives the most meat.
-Maywood Express on 5th and St.Charles is very greasy.. but good.
-That one restuarant right outside Cook County Hospital is the worst Gyros I've had. They used the pre-cut slices.
- Gyro stop on Eastwood and Kedzie are okay.
-George Kabab Grill on Lawrence had a pretty acidic taste. I think they put Lemon on it or something.
