I'm not saying that JAI ROW is correct. I'm saying I've heard it pronounced different ways depending on where I am. And that saying it like you're clearing your throat always worked for me.

If it were ever featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", it would definitely fall into the third category. But damn, those are some of the best gyros in town.
Noted, will do. The gyro is my new favorite food, hands down.
If true go check out coffee oasis on Euclid in the CWE between FPP and Laclede...magic!
Often gets overlooked because of the name and Majestic being in such close proximity.
Went on Saturday and was impressed. A couple observations:
No falafels- big disappointment but the gyro was great. Glad I didn't get chips because that gyro was really filling. Good prices too.
Cash only- hopefully they accept plastic at some point. Went there without cash and had to run out to an atm before coming back. The food was worth the hassle.
I'll definitely be back, although I wish they were open later. Seems like they would do great business after people leave the bars. Hopefully they'll have different hours for the summer.
My favorite place was the Middle Eastern Market on S Grand where TFA was most recently. I used to pick up lamb heads for my dogs and a gyro for me. Such a drag the place was firebombed in the late 90s.
I had a gyro here today and it was really good. I would recommend it to anyone that likes this type of food. Gives me another reason to not eat at Olympias.
