The meat is perfectly seasoned, often stacked like shawarma or shaped into a tasty loaf and cooked on a spit. When shaved off, it comes in crispy, juicy, slightly smoky strips, and is loaded into a pita with your choice of toppings— commonly tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and homemade tzatziki sauce. Some gyros even get extra loaded with french fries, feta, and more. Here are my favorite gyros in Columbus:
