A gyro place is a gyro place is a gyro place, until you find one that differentiates itself. This place has set itself apart in an amazing way.\r

I had the pleasure to dine here after a friend recommended this place. Great location in Dunwoody with ample parking. They have a good sized patio that definitely would be great to use in the warmer months. The Greek theme seamlessly flows through this establishment and the authentic Greek music definitely amped up the mood of our table! Overall, this place has been tastefully decorated.\r
\r
So, let's get to the main reason why I'm giving this place a great rating. First off, the gyro meat is better quality than you will find in the majority of gyro restaurants in Atlanta. It is special ordered in order to set itself apart from the others. The spice is awesome and the texture is spot-on. I ordered a side of just gyro meat to verify my friend's claim and was glad that I did! I know that a side to side tasting of this gyro meat would win against any other. \r

The reason I only ordered a side of meat was because the Mahi Mahi gyro caught my eye. It was a gyro with Mahi Mahi instead of gyro meat. It was SO good!. The fish was perfectly seasoned. It was done just right and was really fresh (I took a whif just to make sure). Overall, it was a welcome departure from the ordinary and I would definitely order it again! \r
\r
The fries it came with were perfect and crispy. Also, they offer a special sauce to dip your fries into. Great option for those that don't want just ordinary ketchup. Also had the spanakopita and it was extremely well made!\r
\r
This place also sets itself apart with its specials. This is where this place really earns its merit. The owner said that he prepares a wide variety of authentic Greek food and switches up the specials all the time. He said that they update their facebook page regularly with their specials. Great idea to keep the menu fresh and exciting! \r

I can't wait to try the Kritikos gyros. My friend says that they usually sell out pretty quickly. I can't wait for my next visit when I'm in the ATL again!!
