I ordered here few times and one of my order was gyros pita, which was pretty good and I really enjoyed it. My another order was chicken(maybe another meat) souvlaki meal and the problem was in potato, it was extremely sour, I understand that this is Greek cuisine and usually potato prepared with citric acid, but that time it was too much
