    C’è qualche altro paese in Europa (oltre alla Grecia e Cipro (?)) Dove Gyros è più popolare di kebab/doner/shawarma?

      Gyros/Doner/Schawarma are literally the same thing. Each word mean “to turn” in Greek, Turkish, and Arabic respectively. Greek Gyros is usually pork but can be chicken. Turkish doner and Arabic shawarma is obviously not usually pork for religious reasons.

      Hungary. I have honestly no idea why, you see more places selling gyros than döner/shawarma.

      I haven’t done a survey and haven’t read one either, but I believe it’s still the case here in Hungary. It’s just a feeling, based on what I observe among friends, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as on restaurant menus and in fast food places. There are way more “gyros” spots than “döner” ones, for example, and gyros seems to sell better too.

      In Germany Gyros is rarely a fastfood but a dish that you eat in one of the plenty greek restaurants while Döner usually is a fastfood that you grab to-go in a Döner restaurant (that you usually couldn’t sit and eat in until maybe 10-15 years ago when they’ve started converting to restaurants too (but 90% of their sales are still out of house).

      I like gyros more, but you don’t see them frequently here in Spain. Why is that?.

      Technically… Mexico. Or at least northern Mexico.

      I’ve seen more gyro (lamb) places and stands than restaurants that serve kebabs / doners / shawarmas.

      Gyros are still a very obscure / niche dish, but way more available than “kebabs”.

      Now…

      …Non-technically speaking… Shawarmas / doners / kebabs are closer to Mexico’s northeastern cuisine in the form of tacos (specially tacos al pastor), so…

      I think it is a question of quality. Gyros in Germany is even not half as good as the Greek ones.

      From the presented picture… what’s the difference? Because this is how they mostly serve kebabs in Lithuania.

      In Armenia it’s pretty common, not sure if it’s more popular than shawarma though.

      Why???? Why are there french fries on the gyros? Traveled through Greece in 2023 (beautiful country, people, and cuisine). Every gyro I got had french fries on it. They were always soggy, mushy, and often cold. Took them off every time. Is potato a traditional ingredient in gyros?

      I understand the adversity but to me gyros is kebab and vice versa, its just like turkish coffee where im at, we called it that for like a century, then last 20 years with the rise of nationalism now if you order turkish coffee in a pub you might get corrected saying theres no such things, because of nationalism.

      Random but I went to Rome this year for the first time and my favourite meal there was a gyros. Tried it once and was hooked ever since❤️

      My stomach agrees.

      In U.K. kebabs are usually shaved entrails from a slab of rotating fat, served with raw cabbage and a soggy cold pitta.

      Gyros, when available are proper chunks of meat, rolled up in delicious flat bread. And chips actually in as well for that double carb in your mouth at once deliciousness .

      Gyros= food at a greek restaurant

      Döner kebab= to go food/fast food

    27. Suspicious-Neat-5954 on

      I’m greek I’ve never tried a doner and at this I’m too afraid to ask what’s the difference except the meat being pork in gyros

    28. youmightwanttosit on

      We had a fair amount of Greek immigrants come to Detroit to work in the auto factories. Fwiw, gyros in our Greek restaurants are always lamb and served with tzatziki.

      I’m not entirely sure if the dish that is offered as gyros outside Greece and Cyprus would actually pass in said countries. Even from the Greek-Cypriot owned joints and restaurants.

    30. Away-Wishbone-6420 on

      Belgium, I guess. At least, in Brussels there is a street in the city centre that is like 50% greek restaurants with various gyros options

    32. JustDutch101 on

      It should be. Gyros is better, especially with a nice Tzatziki.

      But in The Netherlands the Turkish often deliver more often rather than the greeks who start more restaurants.

    35. _M_A_N_Y_ on

      In Poland many places actually sell gyros as kebap and other way around.

      “Packing” (bread) is also mixed all around. Few days ago I be seen doner Packard into lawash (or whatever it is called in english, – hungarian pizza like bread).

      Some places even put nuggets inside”McDonald’s style”..

      Real fusion cooking 🤟

      Serbia.

      Majority of people even don’t know what kebab is.

      Doner has only recently started to be popular.
