Bosphorus, the Turkish restaurant in Cary, has made in house doner (Turkish version of gyro) on Sundays from 3 PM until they run out.

The service is slow and they get crowded. I'd suggest going early if you're going.

Their bread is excellent. I believe they make the bread themselves but I'm not sure.

Agreed! I seem to recall that they do make the bread.

We go frequently on Sundays for the doner. I haven't had a gyro there, but the dish I order has so much meat that I have enough to make my own at home!

Up thread Solomon's was mentioned - They do a decent gyro. Not my ideal gyro, but enough to get through a craving. I spend a lot of years near a sizable Greek community and have rarely had the "perfect" gyro since then.

I'd toss out Baba Ghannouj in Cary/Raleigh as one possibility, I like em a bit better than Greek Fiesta. They do great kabobs and I'm pretty sure they have gyro's. Nur Deli on Avent Ferry has them (mixed feelings here) and then Baba Grill in Brier Creek (have heard good things there).

One place that's too often overlooked is Flame Kebob. a Persian restaurant in the area across 70 from the mega Brier Creek shopping center. I haven't had their gyro, but the kebobs are excellent. Great bread, too. People are friendly, prices, are reasonable and it looks like they could use the business. They are hidden away (look in the strip near the Alehouse).

I'll stick to my gyro platter at Med Deli, but a coworker of mine use to love the Greek Fiesta ones at the Morrisville Shops.

Cilantro in RTP is the real deal for gyros - turning loaf, fresh baked bread ..

[rockycat]

Neomonde doesn't have gyros because they're Lebanese, not Greek. Try their beef and lamb shwarma with extra tahini. Beats any month old Kronos gyros I've ever had.

Try Xios in Apex. It's a sit down place but the gyro was good when we went a few years ago. Also, I agree with Rockycat's tip on the shwarma.

[dinersaurus]

Xios is my favorite so far. Solomons and Nikos Taverna do a decent gyro. Greek Fiesta and Baba Ghannouj aren't bad. I do not recommend Pita Delight.

However, I'm not ecstatic about any of them.
