The Place to be!
Even the really bad photos taken at Cross Crossing could not
put a damper on our Sunday evening experience. These people had such a wide
variety of delicacies to choose from, gyros,
burgers, fried chicken and chips, hot dogs, buffalo wings, garlic wings, corn
soup, bake and shark, barbecue pigtail and many other combinations of fish,
lamb, chicken and pork.
GYROS! Today’s outdoor/street dining experience!
The Gyro sandwich is an almost new crave in street food offers. This
delectable meal of meat, fresh salad (lettuce, tomatoes and onion) and a tzatziki sauce rolled in a pita bread, is making its mark and claiming rights amongst the
other culinary delights offered on the street of Trinidad.
“Gyro” is a Greek word; however the sandwich
did not originate in Greece but Turkey. It is said to be a spin off from the
Turkish Doner Kebab. A similar sandwich known as “shawarma” is found in the
Middle East.
The whiff of meat roasting on a vertical spit with fire blazing as it turns, stimulates the senses. You can choose a variety of meats - chicken, beef or lamb - to have the it made to you desire. There is also a shrimp gyro but it is pricier than the meats.
A pleasant cloudless evening with great company, people moving from stall to stall enquiring of the menus so that they can place their orders. The aroma tantalising the tastebuds, whetting the appetite, compelling you to partake of the scrumptious offerings of our multicultural cuisine.

This wonderful addition to our already dynamic range of food, is
blending itself nicely into our food culture and cementing its taste and
cuisine into our diet and lifestyle. It has been acculturated to the
geographical and demographical location in which it is being served.
Many variants can be found around the world especially in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Hungry, Iran, Mexico, The Middle East, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Trinidad, you can find a gyro in many hole-in-the-wall type outlets, food vans on the streets. street kiosks or stalls, as well as established mall outlets
