thrillist

Literally translating to "my gyro", Mena'll adorn your Mediterranean sammie with the toppings of your choosing amidst amusing signage concerning Greek swear words and the Hellenic invention of sex, plus a video monitor carrying a steady stream of belly dancers, who will hopefully just shuffle around to "Feed the Tree".

Start by choosing your spinning meat (the familiar beef-lamb combo, plus Athenian-style all-pork/chicken options) and delivery method (pita, wrap, salad), before loading up on any of 15 toppings, from grilled onions, to bacon, to bleu cheese; finish it all off with a homemade sauce, whether lemon-tarragon yogurt, hummus, or Turkish tzatziki, which differentiates itself from the Greek by adding in a thunderous dunk by basketball phenom Omer Asik, or maybe just mint. There's also app action including Greek fries dusted in feta and doused in dressing, flaming orders of saganaki, and deep-fried egg roll-esque creations filled with either spanakopita or gyros & onions, and served with a side of tzatziki for dunking, which Omer Asik can certainly coach you on.

Wrapping it all up are non-wrap sweets from classics like baklava to rice pudding, plus an espresso-spiked Greek frappe they'll occasionally give free to someone who performs a particularly enthusiastic belly dance, though after your meal you might have too much junk in the tree trunk to even do a shuffle.
