Gyros are always a good idea. For our anything-but-ordinary take, ground beef is mixed with warm, fragrant spices (in this case, garam masala) & garlic. The mixture is formed into a flat patty & seared to form a flavourful crust. Next, it’s piled onto a toasty Mediterranean pita & served with an irresistible sauce that will may just having your licking your plate!
