If you’ve never eaten hot chips stuffed inside a gyros, you need to get to Gyradiko in Bexley.

When is takeaway food not takeaway? When you have to sit down to eat it.

Sure, you could attempt to devour a gyros, otherwise known as a yeeros, standing up, but that’s just asking for trouble.

The round of fluffy pita bread stuffed with meat, chips, tzatziki and salad is so juicy that it’s going to be down your arm and all over your face before you know it.

Don’t mistake gyros for a kebab. This is so much better than what you get in the early morning after a big night out.

Gyradiko is far from flash but it serves simple street food done well.

This is what the people come to Gyradiko for.

You can get some of this goodness for about $9.

Set on the corner of busy Forest Rd in Bexley, Gyradiko is far from flash — tiled floors, a counter and a help-yourself drinks fridge. But it doesn’t need much more; it serves simple street food done well.

Grab one of the outdoor seats — it’s hot inside — and take the time to appreciate the warm, pillowy bread rolled into a cone and overflowing with chunks of meat cooked on the spit, spice-seasoned chips, a punchy tzatziki that’s heavy on the garlic, and a smattering of tomato and onion.

If you’ve never eaten hot chips stuffed inside a gyros, you need to get to Bexley, quick smart.

Choose between chicken and pork on the spit or pork souvlaki stuffed into a gyros ($9), get a gyros, chip and drink combo ($14) or go for a merides ($19), a main, and get a plate overflowing with meat, chips, salad, pita and tzatziki.
