The service is also excellent, as the same guy served me all three times and he was nice, helpful, and even gave me an extra pita bread for no charge when I mistakenly ordered the gyro plate thinking it came with two already. With plenty of seating a huge, consistent menu, there’s really nothing else you can ask for. The atmosphere feels a little dated but this isn’t exactly a fine dining restaurant so that can be forgiven. It’s perfect, with just a hint of sweetness that really brings out the spices in the gyro meat, with a wonderful pita and just too much awesomeness. The menu boasts that the sauce is «award-winning,» and I can definitely see why. The gyros are especially excellent, with the best tzatziki I’ve ever had anywhere. So far, I’ve had the hot dogs and the gyros, both of which are top notch. They have an enormous menu that includes gyros, hot dogs, burgers, Italian beef, tacos, burritos, salads, and probably some other stuff that I can’t remember! Everything is reasonably priced, and my wife and I are able to have a nice meal here for only about $ 15. I’ve now been to Ariston three times, and have never been disappointed. With so many other choices for gyro in the area, I cannot recommend Ariston’s gyros. It was not horrible but I would not recommend it. The lobby area was clean and if I had liked the flavors of the gyro I would say I had received good value for the money. On the up side, the pita was generously filled with meat and the staff was friendly and efficient. If you want it toasted, ask specifically. I would have appreciated my pita placed on a hotter grill or a little more time on the grill. I want that juice running down my wrist! One of the reviewers had mentioned the pita being perfectly toasted. Add some fattier cuts of meat to the mix. Then you can decide how much you want to dump on your gyro! If I could get past the god awful sweetness of this sauce I might still have appreciated it because the meat was dry and tasteless.
If you end up here wondering if you’re going to like this sauce, get it on the side. No yogurt, no sour cream flavor, just an overwhelming sugary yelch poured over my gyro with a heavy hand. This «award winning» sauce is SWEET! Tastes like ranch dressing. I like a cucumber– yogurt tzatziki sauce with a slight garlic aroma and some dill or mint notes. I looked at Unilocal to help me decide which one to eat at and I ended up here based the great reviews. Reviews are good guidelines but what if your tastes are different from the reviewers? There are many places in this area to get a gyro.
