san fernando valley - reseda: firehouse

tommy finds his go-to for gyros at firehouse in reseda...

chicken gyro salad

gyro

tommy says: consistently good gyros and salads.  salads are well dressed, and the gyro meat is always tender and tasty - even the chicken! the tzatziki is a good consistency, not too thick and not too runny, and has a nice tang to it.  portions are generous.  pita is always warmed up and yummy. a great take-out or casual dine-in option.
