Michaelaway Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Looks like Gyros King is going to open April 1st, at Tesco... exciting! Man, I could go for a Gyros plate with some good Tzatziki drizzled on, and a Greek salad with olives, feta, etc. (Hey, King: Are souvlaki, pastitsio, moussaka, avgolemono, spanakopita... too much to hope for?) Yasou, philos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 You'll have to let us all konw which are best Tesco's or Carrefour's Gyros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Also which Tesco in Pattaya might be of interest ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgard Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think it's the gyros from Carrefour. Last Monday I was there and it's gone allready!! Now in Carrefour are only Kebab/Doener avaible!!! The Carrefour Gyrosshop only saled Pan-Gyros not the real BBQ-Gyros. Tzaziki you can make very easy self. It's not the real one but the best what you can get "cheap" in Thailand: Buy a pack of natural yogurt and mix some pressed garlic inside. Thats all!!! ;-) But ... you must find your optimal natural yogurt self. It give different companies with different taste. Some more sweet then the other. The price for a pack (4 pieces) is between 39 -48 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommaz Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 @Michaelaway - would that be Tesco Lotus at top of Thepprasit, or the one in North Pattaya? Sorry to be pedantic, but kebabs are a serious subject! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 for the records: tsasiki: yoghurt mixed with salt, lime juice, and lots of garlic. Use only the yoghurt from foodland with the red screw cover or as substitute the yoghurt with a white/blue plastic box. Never ever use any sweetened yogurt!! Gyros: from "γύρος" = "turning". So if there is nothing that turns, it is not gyros, as simple as it is. If your stomach turns, it doesn't count. Substitute: take a large slab of pork, slice it into 0.5 cm thick slices, put some onions, garlic (!!), oregano, salt, pepper whatever else on the layers, tie it together. 1.5 hours in the oven et voilá!

Michaelaway Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Seems to me the owner of the new Gyros King at Tesco is not a TV reader. So close to his advertised opening day, and only saw the one classified ad; no follow up at all. Clearly, he hasn't seen or been told about the gyros chatterbuzz here on TV. Anyways, as the days wind down towards April 1st, I will again apologize for not knowing which Tesco... but, I'm thinking Sukhumvit Rd, South Pattaya. Yasssou!

PattayaParent Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 ^I haven't been there in a while but isn't the food court there a bit congested? And I've never been in the Tesco on North Rd. so can't see me making a special trip just for a kebab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siammilk Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) GYROS KING, starting on April 1.. The new location is in TESCO LOTUS NORTH ROAD in Food center (right side on the windows).

yankee99 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Looking at the ad picture it looks like the same meat they use in the kabobs here in thailand. Not sure if the meat in america is authentic or not but it is good. I have my doubts it will be the same meat as i am guessing no one would want to pay the price. In the usa between $6-8 (180-240baht) a sandwich. I also have never seen gyro style pita bread in thailand which is thicker and fluffier then the pitas the kabobers are peddling..

Y99, The meat use for Gyros, authentically, is lamb. That's what I've always eaten in America- lamb gyros. Here, they always use pork, which is much cheaper and more readily available than lamb. Pork gyros can be delicious, too. The seasonings are crucial! Re: the pita bread- it is what it is, I guess. No big deal for me. Good luck to the Gyros King!

They are all over the USA. Simple concept and great sandwich. We already have all of the "kebob" places (too many to count). But not one gyro place. Please open one in Jomtien. Thanks.
