Spyro Gyro:
Friday, We (Eric, Kelby and myself) went out for a bite to eat and we ended up at Spyro Gyro downtown Lancaster. This little gem has been in place for at least 3 years and change. The food is very old fashioned and in all the right ways. For me, it’s as if my own (non-existent) greek grandmother came over and fixed me all my favorite dishes each time we drop by.
Here is a blurb from the restaurant's website: “Every time Jacqueline Makris drives past Home Depot, she feels a little sick. The mere sight of the home-improvement megastore reminds Makris of the 2 1/2 years she spent turning a former city store unit into her dream restaurant, Spyro Gyros and Salads. Three years ago, Makris walked past 241 N Queen St and fell in love with its architecture. "I didn't see what was there because it was completely run down," she says. "I saw what it could be." Makris figured she'd renovate the place in a few months...”
The food here is nothing short of fantastic, the service ever friendly, and the portions, well. I sure hope that either A: You’re very very hungry, or B: a professional eater in training. I might even suggest ordering at least 1 fewer dishes than you have diners, if you’re ordering any of the “Platters”.
This time in, I’d ordered the beef shawarma platter as opposed to my usual falafel platter, as I’d wanted to try something new, if I was going to write about them. As usual, my serving plate alone took up about 2/3rds of our table, and I was all that much happier for it. I had seasoned, marinated beef pieces, a great scoop of what can only be homemade hummus, drizzled in olive oil, a Large serving of greens as a salad, pita triangles all over the place and some parts that I’m sure that I’m forgetting.
Here is a 2nd hand/hosted link to their menu from Carryout Courier. I’d link the official menu, but the site has a few “programmatic errors”
If you find yourself in downtown Lancaster, and you don’t have dinner plans, by all means, drop in on the folks at Spyro, grab any booth or bar seat and eat one of the best Greek meals in the area.
