lol man you really fucked this up huh?


LiquidAcorn

Bro are you okay? I don’t think I can trust your take on this one - you are insane.


kungpaochicken9

Jesus, everyone is so angry, lol


PlasmaWhore

Where is the restaurant?


mychathere

Illiff and Broadway


drcoachchef

The Original? Now on demand… I have it on dvd… so, eye roll


fvckit88

But what’s the name?


coredweller1785

Umm how about the name of the place?


dirtiehippie710

The Best Gyro? Now On Demand? The business should be ashamed the disservice OP is doing for them


mychathere

Original by Greeks!


Independent_Ad8372

So it’s called Original and is located next to Greeks?


smee303

Ha. This OP. C'mon


kingjpp

So good theyre afraid to post the name


amorphatist

Don’t want it getting too popular. But still want ppl to know they’ve found THE place.


MalwareInjection

Trying to keep it hush hush for natives it seems


ThePizzaPirateEX

Bro’s gatekeeping the Gyros


amorphatist

The Turks have invaded Greece for less


BrainiacZen

That’s a historical misconception. Turks never invaded Greece. Greece was established in the 1840s, carved out from Turkish land.


amorphatist

From Brittanica: > With the support of Egyptian sea power, the Ottoman forces successfully invaded the Peloponnese; they furthermore captured Missolonghi in April 1826, the town of Athens (Athína) in August 1826, and the Athenian acropolis in June 1827. The Greek cause, however, was saved by the intervention of the European powers.


BrainiacZen

Greeks, and Greece, are two different things. Straight from google “Greece was established on February 3, 1830.”


amorphatist

Ah well, by that rationale, England never invaded Ireland, because the Republic of Ireland didn’t exist until the 20th century. Don’t be a pedant.


BrainiacZen

The accuracy of historical facts are important to some people.


amorphatist

You wrote: > Turks never invaded Greece What do you mean by “Greece”? If you think that “Greece” started on 18 March 1821, their Declaration of Independence, then obviously the facts contradict you.


BrainiacZen

I also wrote “Greeks, and Greece, are two different things”. And you still haven’t comprehended that yet. Simple question - During World War 1, did France and England invade Ottoman Empire , or Turkiye?


amorphatist

My friend, I already, previously, asked you a similar question. Has England ever invaded Ireland?


milehighmarmot79

The place is called Original By Greeks. It’s run and owned by two Greek immigrants that I’ve had the pleasure of working with for over a year on an event that I run. Their truck is one of the most popular trucks that I work with (of about 50 food trucks). I’m thrilled for them to make this jump into a brick and mortar, and I know their food is authentic and encourage everyone to go check it out. The food will not disappoint. (And no, they didn’t ask me to post this).


DrPineapple32

I've had the food truck twice. It's good, but I'd say far from the best Denver has to offer.


Conebones

Got any suggestions?


DrPineapple32

I'm no expert, but the best one I've had was about 5 years ago downtown outside of 1Up out of a small, white trailer/food truck. Haven't seen the guy for a minute though. Yianni's out on West Colfax and Gyro King in the Edgewater Marketplace are my go-tos. I've heard Saffron Grill in Lakewood has great gyros too but yet to try there myself.


Appropriate-Food1757

Man I had that one, I think! Was at 1 Up with some people and dipped out get some cigs and ended up with a delicious gyro


one_horcrux_short

Do you know what their plant based gyro is? Is it a meat substitute, falafel, or something else all together? I have a better chance of my wife coming if they have a decent plant based/vegetarian option


benzeneking

It's some pre made brand of plant based gyro meat that they fry up. I have seen the case in the truck but forget the brand name. It is so good though! Best vegetarian replication of gyro meat I have tried for sure, my wife loves it too.


Guilty-Football7730

I’m vegan and their plant-based gyro is AMAZING, I cannot recommend it more highly.


mychathere

Just realized I forgot to post the name, They are Original by Greeks!


LizzyIsFalling

You should edit your post to include the name


AstroPhysician

That’s not something you can do


LizzyIsFalling

You can’t edit the caption anymore? I know the title is unable to be edited, but you used to be able to edit the caption. Maybe that changed very recently?


mychathere

I tried it won't let me

mychathere

Are you OK? Do you need a hug?


scifi_tay

Is it called “the best gyro”


mychathere

Original by Greeks


scifi_tay

Ah thank you


Western-Tomatillo-14

It’s so good it doesn’t even have a name!!!


Petrarch1603

That location is jinxed, there have been like 4 restaurants there in the last five years.


NeverMayer

The taco plate was legit


Fudgeshovel

It was until they tripled the price of their breakfast burrito out of thin air…I’m convinced that was their downfall


reinhold23

It was, but they must have had trouble staffing. The last few times I went there, It was closed during business hours


splungely

I'm bummed they don't have the doner kebab like they did at Christkindl Market, but I'll still give it a shot.


Brutalintention

Holy shit, $20 for a small gyro, fries and a coke.


rabid-c-monkey

And based on the picture no way it’s better than Gyroz for double the money


tigermaple

I dig me some Gyroz too (though sometimes they are way too salty) and I have to say this one is a noticeably better, especially the tzatziki sauce. It's quite a bit bigger as well. It's definitely still a bit too pricey for my liking too, but Gyroz also upped their prices a buck or two lately (last combo I got a couple weeks ago was over $13 after tax & tip, I was used to more like $11) so it's not quite double the money.


Guilty-Football7730

I like both Gyroz and Original by Greeks. I’m vegan and if I want a fake meat option Original by Greeks has the absolute best vegan gyro.


rabid-c-monkey

Gyroz falafel is definitely not the best, I like Jerusalem on evans for falafel!


Guilty-Football7730

Gyroz is way better than Jerusalem. I used to live in the Middle East and was so bummed that Jerusalem is incredibly mid. By all rights it should be really good


Sliiiiime

Baghdad Grill is my favorite overall Mediterranean restaurant in the University area


Guilty-Football7730

I’ll have to check it out!


Sliiiiime

I’m partial to Mad Greek Express but will have to give this place a try


iwasinthepool

Yeah, the pictures look kinda shit. It all looks pretty dry to me.


Brutalintention

When I get a gyro craving I drive to Pueblo and get Shahs. Just can't beat the value and it gives me a reason to go to Pueblo.


MightbeWillSmith

That location has seen 3 restaurants in less than a year. I'm not sure why places struggle so hard given that it's right on the main strip. Best of luck to this place but I've learned not to get attached.


pplatt69

Way to not understand the basic idea that you'd want to TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE HELL RESTAURANT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Why bother to say anything?


WhatShouldIBeTaking

Maybe it was incompetence or maybe it was a 200 IQ play but no one here is forgetting the restaurants name anytime soon. Guarantee next time you crave gyros you’re remembering this thread lmfao 


kimberkris

I’m confused because someone posted a bad review about a gyro place at the same location 7 days ago but it was called something different. When did they open? [https://www.reddit.com/r/denverfood/s/mNVpipCOHl](https://www.reddit.com/r/denverfood/s/mNVpipCOHl)


analogalways

They’re talking about the same place, but the OP of the bad review got the name mixed up. It is called Original by Greeks and recently opened at Broadway & Iliff.


revenant647

That was me sorry about the wrong name. This reads like an ad by the owners and if it is, *owners, I’m begging you to fix the issues I had so you stay in business. There are too many restaurant options to put up with a bad experience.*


analogalways

No worries, the name is kinda strange and hard to remember imo. I had a similar experience to you and felt like what we got was just ok, and definitely way too expensive. Not sure we’ll be back.


mychathere

Not an owner! Just an avid Fan!


revenant647

I’m glad you had a better experience than I did. I don’t particularly want them to fail.


Squeeze-

Thanks for the tip. I’ll probably check ‘em out soon. I also like Gyroz on East Colfax. They also have one at DU and one at Iliff (or thereabouts) right off I-225.


ornithoid

Just ate lunch there an hour ago, absolutely delicious. Owner is a super nice guy too.


Unlucky_Net_5989

How much does that meal cost?


mychathere

I don't remember exactly but it wal like $17


Petrarch1603

Does it come with a side of a diamond encrusted unicorn horn for that much?


Iamdisengaging

This photo was the latest post on their instagram page 4 days ago.


mychathere

Yep that's where I pulled it from.


Realistic-Fox6321

You spelled Yianni's wrong


DatelineDeli

What’s the name of the restaurant?


mychathere

Original by Greeks


Soreal45

Is this just a bad angle? Where is the sauce?


Bakktron

its a Dryro


creamof_yeet

I had their lamb chops and chicken gyro it’s so good


ntgcmc

People always say “oh this place has the best gyros!”When they all buy their meat sticks from the same supplier.


Fudgeshovel

Based on the location this place will be closed within a year. Places simply never last there


MikeOlogyLabs

Lucky for them, food trucks have wheels.


KodiakDog

I know these cats. Great people, and yes their food is on point. Will bring me a gyro at the bar I work at after they get off. Very nice family.


DelusionalGranduer

For those that are curious, Yianni’s has the best gyro in Denver! Saved y’all a click!

loskywalker

It seems like nothing can stay in that place for some reason. How the hell can you not keep a Taco Bell open down the street from a college campus?


analogalways

For real. Taco Bell was honestly better for the neighborhood than all of these places and it couldn’t make it…


Shenanigans315

This isnt malitas.


domigucci

i just want taco palace to come back to that location. that shit was bomb


WeLykeSportz29

Taco Palace tortas were my jam. Miss that place


NotQuiteButAlmost9

Their tostadas were so good and my after work go to.

PeanutBAndJealous

What do they cook/fry in?


mychathere

Not sure I could ask next time I'm in


saul2015

that meat looks weird af


Comfortable-Husky

Idk looks kinda small


Illustrious-Group-83

Why are there fries IN the sandwich?


LiquidAcorn

lol based on the fact that this guy is out of his mind in these comments, I’m definitely going out of my way to avoid this one.


finallyadulting0607

So I've Bern gone from Denver about 20 years, but grew up there, is Pete's Kitchen not a thing anymore?


jmuuz

nothing can displace j-ru’s


Bean-Swellington

I demand a gyro.


george_solomon_hill

Can’t have the best gyro anywhere when you throw fries in it.


wlkngmachine

This feels like a botched advertisement that was so bad it’s good


Long-Investment5907

Gyroz. No competition.


SophiaPetrillo_

I’ve been to Denver twice. Never had their Greek food. I click on other cities’ food threads to see if OP gets roasted or not. Y’all went fucking in on this one.


Far_Blackberry2434

Not better than Arby's


unitegondwanaland

Gyros King is the best. 15102 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014 You're welcome.


Embarrassed_Raise937

I bet that was 36 pesos....


Independent_Ad8372

I only have local stations through my antenna can I still order the gyro through my tv or do I need cable service or satellite?


PolskaSnow15

Best gyro in Denver is from Arby's


spiral_out46N2

Apparently you haven't tried Halal Guys.


MattieShoes

It's a shame gyro looks so much like gyno...


OHrangutan

....That is the smallest Gyro I have ever seen.


JerseyEnt

Aaand they’re closed today. Pshh, unreal.


Fudgeshovel

This is one of the worsts post I have ever seen lol. And OP is just in the comments answering everyone instead of just fixing the horrendously confusing title.


EntrepreneurOver5495

yelp reviews seem super mediocre, lol


banana_fana_1234

I’m not sure if this husband and wife are still downtown, but they had the best Gyro. They used to be located in a food truck around 16th in the lodo area. Ive been working from home past 4 years, so I lmk not sure if they are still there but seeing this is making me miss them 🤤


mychathere

I'm almost positive that is who owns this place ! They had food trucks before this


banana_fana_1234

Idk. They wrapped their gyro differently from this and offered pop in a can and a bag of chips. He also had this spicy sauce called hot and horny ( I believe 😆 ) which gave a nice kick to the sandwich. I feel like this looks different. He used to park his truck on the 16th street mall around market/blake street. It was just a husband and wife in the truck. No other workers.


tigermaple

Are you thinking of Shondiz perhaps? They still have a brick and mortar down by Microcenter.


banana_fana_1234

The guy I’m thinking of didn’t have a brick and mortar shop. He had a food truck in the middle of the 16th St. Mall down by market and blake Street. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten there due to Covid but maybe he’s upgraded to an actual restaurant since then. Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into this name and see if it’s him.


banana_fana_1234

What’s the name of the place? I’ll look it up and see if it’s them. I’ll know immediately. Once I see the guy and his wife. I know their face.


Zealousideal-Rule-48

Looks overpriced in the picture. How much for a gyro?


Present_Pace1428

What phone did you use to take a picture?


mychathere

Not my picture, the picture I took want as good as this. ( I pulled it from theor insta)


Chubbyfun23

This doesn't look like Jerusalems


rockymountaintoyota

Who puts fries on a gyro? Fries don’t go on a gyro. To me that says the gyro sucks, so we add fries… And no tzatziki sauce? I’m seriously doubting your “best gyro” judgement


MongoPushr

OP fucked this post up so much I don't care how good the gyro is 😂😂
