This is another restaurant well-loved by the gaijin community. It has a casual beachy ambiance, with a line of plastic chairs and a bar up the side, a couple small tables, and upstairs a couple more tables out on the corner of the roof (the "rooftop terrace" - unfortunately no ocean view). Weekdays at lunch the place is packed with uniformed members of the armed services. Luckily, the owners have not let the success go to their head; they produce good food for reasonable money. A huge draw for us is the delicious warm pita bread, whether paired with tsatsiki or wrapped around shaved meat it is a lovely change of pace from rice. The tsatsiki (approx 350Y) is make from an excessively creamy yogurt, and is a bit shy on cucumber, but is still reall tasty and has just the right amount of garlic. The beef gyros (approx 550Y) was also satisfying, with a nice oregano flavour in the meat. It comes with some yogurt sauce, but benefited from the leftover tsatsiki in addition to the accompanying red sauce. They should also be commended for avoiding a common gyros problem - the oil dripping out the back of the sandwich.
