I got 2 chicken gyros, an order of Greek Fries (feta fries) and a bottle of coke which came to about 20 bucks. I've only had the meatloaf type gyros down at Taste of the Danforth but I have had shawarmas with the same meat before. Overall, the food was great. I took 1 of the gyros for the train ride back home. The fries were delicious, crispy and well seasoned. The gyro was one of the best I've had. it was juicy but not enough to make it drip. Even after sitting in my backpack for an hour the second pita wasn't wet but the chicken was still juicy. I'll be looking for them at Taste of the Danforth this year for sure. i went to Alexandros in Queens Quay last night after partying at Cherry Beach for Victoria day.

They have pork, Lamb and chicken but pork is the best way to go. They also put fires in the Gyro which reminds me of the souvlatzithiko i go to in Greece. They also have all sorts of souvlaki in pita and souvlaki/gyro platters. Lunch special was around $10 with a drink and salad or fries. Messinis is much better in my opinion.

I will definitely have to try Alexandros gyros. That looks like a great meal and I like the sound of the feta fries! I will definitely have to try Alexandros gyros.

It would be great to learn more through your blog.

Funny, when I saw the thin slices of pork on the rotisserie, I thought, "tacos al pastor"! Which is the same setup, but different flavor profile. I adore gyros, especially lamb ones. The herbs and spices, the sourish yogurt, the cooling cucumber...all make one tasty sandwich. I've never seen feta fries before but now you're making me want to fly all the way over to Toronto to have some! Thanks for sharing. Wow, the only gyros I’m used to are the meatloaf type.
