Super Gyros

If you’re looking for Mediterranean in campus, look no further. Super gyros has a gyros pita sandwich, gyros salad, Greek salad with pita and hummus, and I think a chicken salad and sandwich.
I got their gyros salad for $ 7.88, and was pleasantly surprised. They filled the Styrofoam (i thought UH had phased those out?) container half with romaine, tomatoes, and red onions, a quarter with gyros, and a quarter with a piece of pita bread. They then slathered the gyros and salad with a garlicky herby tsatziki (sp?) Sauce and called it a day.
It was good. The salad was fresh and super crunchy, and the gyros was juicy and well seasoned. They gave a good size portion too! The pita bread was straight outta the bag, but still good.
Don’t come expecting the fat Greek or anything, but compared to the other options at paradise palms, I’d take this healthier alternative any day! I thought about saving some for a study snack, but nope, tasted too good. I’m genuinely full, but not in the food coma greasy gimme a pillow let’s just go to sleep right now kinda way. Approve!
(Although full disclosure, I’m pretty sure I can still taste the garlic on my breath. Good thing I like garlic!)
Also– they sell chocolate baklava!

Super Gyros is a very convenient place to eat. It’s relatively healthy and because not many people are willing to be adventurous with their lunch on campus, the line here is very minimal (1 – 2 people max!).
However, since my first review, the quality has gone down a bit. I’m not sure if it’s because my very first one was AMAZING and my expectations after that one gyro was high or because the following gyros were actually not up to par.
The amount of beef/​lamb that they put in the gyro is still quite a hefty amount but there’s something about it that’s not the same. It’s much more dry, the flavors are. different (maybe because it’s dry), and it’s a bit tough. Still good to eat, but not as good as I hoped it to be.
The veggies are still nice and fresh but just like the beef/​lamb, there’s something different. The greens don’t seem as green and the tomatoes don’t seem as red.
Don’t even get me started on how much more chang they’re getting on the feta! I don’t even think it’s worth it to pay the 50 cents for the dash of feta that they give.
Definitely still one of the more difficult meals to eat on campus because the pita is usually always overflowing. All in all, not too shabby.
