Gyros catering

We prepare the most delicious Gyros catering in Østerbro. We have our own rotisserie, where the delicious Greek gyro meat is cooked. Here the gyro meat is roasted for a long time and is therefore completely tender inside but a little crispy on the outside. Our chefs can also come to your event and make gyros there, whether it is a Greek Christmas party, confirmation, wedding, etc. This way you are free to cook the food yourself and can focus on your party. Here you get “Pitogyro”, which is Gyros in Greek pita bread, but can of course also be made as a buffet. The solution with “pitogiro” is more fine and delicate, as our chef makes it based on his many years of experience and in this way you are free to make it yourself. You can read more about it here and otherwise we of course also have our other catering menus, which are also made as a Greek buffet .

Gyros made at your place

We can also make gyros at your place. Here, 2 of our chefs come to you, with their grill and equipment, and make completely fresh gyros on the grill, after which they roll the gyros so that they are ready to eat for you. As a rule, there are 2 gyros (Pita gyros) for each. Our chefs are at your place for approx. 4 hours where they make sure that you are spoiled with an authentic Greek “Gyro experience” just like in Greece, only even better.

The gyro meat is primarily pork, but by arrangement, gyros can also be made with other meats, such as lamb or chicken. There is also the option of making souvlaki (grilled skewers) and is a really good combination for gyros and can also be used as a filling/meat for pita.

Gyros with homemade Greek pita bread

As the only ones in Østerbro, we make our Gyros with homemade Greek pita bread. That is, our pita bread is 100% homemade, which makes our “pitogyro” more juicy and delicate. When we deliver the gyros menu, we usually cut them into triangles, so you can take the meat and add it yourself or just eat the flatbread next to the gyro meat. We can of course deliver the flatbread in whole pieces by arrangement.

The history of Greek gyros

Gyros is a Greek dish made from meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Originally it was made from lamb, but in Greece it is usually made from pork or chicken.

The word gyro or gyros, (γύρος in Greek), existed before 1970 and ended up replacing döner kebab for the Greek version of the dish. The word Gyros means “round” or “To turn around”, which symbolizes the rotisserie that is used to turn the Gyros around while it is being fried. Gyros has become enormously popular both in Greece and outside of Greece. There is what is called “Gyradiko” which is a shop that usually only sells Gyros and souvlaki. You can of course also get it in restaurants, but when people are in the mood for Gyros, they usually go to a real “Gyradiko” or a “Foodtruck”, where you can sometimes also hear Greek music while enjoying your Gyros. Drinks that are typically drunk with it are a cold Greek beer , typically Mythos , Fix or Alfa.
