We all (4 of us) loved it/ I did everything as described and it was perfect. Thank you I normally spend $4.00 for one gyro with 4 people eating at least 2 each that's alot of money. I can now make this at home on the cheap and they are just as good. Thank you.

Scrumdiddlyumpshus! I used minced garlic instead of powder, and onion salt instead of powder and salt. It's great! I wasn't overly thrilled with the sauce as I found it a bit too sweet, but maybe without so much sugar? I'll definitely make this recipe again and THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was an easy and tasty recipe. I added some mint and lemon juice to the tzatzki sauce (following one of the other tzatzki recipes here), but other than that made no changes. The meal was fantastic. They really taste like gyros, and I should know, I used to work in a Greek fast food place where we served them! I served this with spinach as a veg and made a complete dinner. Very tasty!
