Gyro Cafe

Though there are a few tables to eat in, the room is often quiet on weekend nights, with most locals treating this as a popular takeout spot. The kitchen turns out spiced Middle Eastern and Indian plates, from falafel over salad with pickled peppers to chargrilled lamb chops. Stick to the freshly prepared grill items and skip the pre-made fried chicken. The service can be inconsistent, occasionally requiring some patience at the counter, but the seasoned, filling portions keep the neighborhood lining up.
