text: As the night was winding down on State Street we started looking for some food options Since we had already given Ians a whirl the night before we thought we would look for something else The long line outside of Parthenon Gyros was an immediate recommendation and late night gyros kefta and kebabs are a treasured institution the world overnnAfter waiting almost an hour we entered what struck me as I see it did other reviewers as basically a Greek McDonalds Which is not necessarily a bad thing hey I am all for a speedy late night gyro And with the lamb and beef glistening on the spit my Greek pants were getting excited But in sum total the experience was a let down The gyro meat was not tossed on a griddle or anything before being served so it did not get that crispy char at the edges The tomatoes and onions in the pita were freezing cold which translated into nearly cold gyro meat along with the cold tzatziki which combined into a rather offputting meal The plate was served up quick once we got to the counter but in this case haste made wastennThe only redeeming factor is that the fries were actually quite good Crispy and flavorful and if you get a piping hot batch they are delicious with a side of feta cheese dumped and slightly melted on top which you can purchase for about centsnnI was so hoping this late night gyro would be fantastic But alas we should have just gone back to Ians
