best gyro and schwarma I've ever had, been to Turkey a few times, is from the food truck on Portland and NW 37th Abu Omar Halal

Thought about trying them, but we prefer sliced-off-the-spit meat instead of chunks (had chunks at a couple of places here and it's just odd to me), which I believe Abu Omar does. They're just a mile from our place, so might have to give them a try, though, be closer than Gyros City when we need a fix, thx for the info. :)

Abu Omar Halal uses spits, lamb is so tender and seasoned perfectly

Anybody had the gyros here, and if so, how do they compare to Gyros City Cafe's (they're our favorite, due to the spices, texture, thinness of the meat and good bread)?

Haven't had the gyros yet but the chicken schwarma is excellent- their drinks are also good. I wish they would do kebabs as appetizer option though

Thanks for the tip, had the lamb gyros sandwich tonight and the lamb is really good (I prefer lamb over lamb/beef or beef gyros), but the tzatziki sauce was a bit too garlicky for me (wife liked it, though). Whenever we're around Gyros City, we might stop by because their fries are better and I prefer their tzatziki, but Abu Omar is probably getting the bulk of our gyros business now.

Also thanks for the tip - now that my wife's gyros craving has been satisfied, we don't have to try it at Lua, so I'll probably give their shawarma a try.

I got the gyro with extra lamb, cheese, extra sauce and it was amazing...so much flavor. Lamb there is super tender

I tried the gyros sandwich at Lua today and it was just OK - instead of lettuce, tomato, onion, feta on top, they do halved cherry tomatoes, lettuce, Persian salad, and charge $1 extra for feta (which I got). Meat was pretty bland, although a good texture. Tzatziki sauce was better than the garlicky one at Abu Omar, however. Wife got the chicken sharawarma wrap and I had a bite and it was better than the gyros. Fries were better than at Gyro City or Abu Omar, but Abu Omar's gyros still taste the best that I've had here in OKC. We'll go back to Lua, but not for gyros...
