Gyro is a popular Greek street food. It is made of meat, tomatoes, and potatoes as well as other ingredients. The term Gyro is derived from the Greek word- Gheereezo which means to turn. The food has a classic Mediterranean flavour and is healthy too. In Greece, it is typically served in an oiled, lightly grilled piece of pita or tortilla.
