Open Mon-Sat, 10:30am-9:00PM, Sunday 11:00am-8:00PM. (732) 240-7100. Sat May 09 05:08:04 -0700 2009 181892 Tapas52 1 4683829 Color me unimpressed with the Gyro Hut. Hoping for something a little different, I decided to follow in Tapas' footsteps and try it this afternoon for lunch. As many of you know, I eschew bread and decided therefore to try the lamb gyro salad along with a side order of dolmades. A few minutes after ordering I was presented with what appeared to be a pre-made salad consisting solely of lettuce and a few slices of tomato topped with a decent portion of shaved lamb gyro meat and dressed with oil and vinegar. Aside from the salad being pre-made, I was disappointed to find that there were no onions or feta cheese. The former was remedied by a request to the solitary worker behind the counter. Although the lettuce was fresh, I found the gyro meat to be dry and not very satisfying. The salad came with a piece of grilled pita sliced in quarters. The pita was dry and could’ve benefited from a brush of olive oil (I decided to try a bite). Also, the grilling detracted from the bread as it only added a layer of accumulated carbon from the grill. The dolmades while decent were also disappointing. I had hoped to add them to my salad, instead they were served warm straight out of the microwave drenched with tzatziki sauce. Locally, I’ve enjoyed much better Greek style salads at Athens Grill, Crystal Diner and even Tiffany’s. Sadly, I doubt I will ever return to the Gyro Hut. Good Luck.

Confused being community hospital is right next door...could be bad management? Sun Jun 07 21:01:41 -0700 2009 4749813 181892 Tapas52
