Many people confuse gyros with Shawarma as both are popular street vendor dishes. Shawarma is from Turkey and is usually made with lamb, turkey or chicken, where gyros are more commonly made with beef, lamb or pork.  The two dishes are also seasoned with different seasonings and Shawarma may be wrapped in a thin flatbread while gyros are wrapped in a slightly thicker kind of bread called a pita. Shawarma is usually paired with salad and pickles while gyros are packed with tomatoes, onion, lettuce and creamy tzatziki sauce.  While the dishes are not the same–both are delicious in their own way!
