    Phenomenal! The lamb was awesome! The gyros tasted just like I would get in a restaurant. Thanks!

    This was amazing! The marinade for the lamb was very flavorful. I made a few slight changes since I wasn't using as much lamb as in the original recipe but essentially everything remained the same. I thought it was better than any other gyro I have ever had in a restaurant.

    My family loves this recipe, and I've made it three times now. It's still a tiny bit "lamby" for me, but the tzaziki makes it easily edible for me. The rest of the family gobbles it up. Easy enough and not too time consuming, ingredients are easy to get. It has become part of my regular lamb recipe collection.

    It turned out really well and my whole family loves it. We are planning to make this for Easter as my Mom used to roast lamb for Easter and I never found a recipe I really liked till now.

    Thanks Tyler, once again you blew us away.

    My husband loved this. He gave it four stars and would have given it five except that he says you can't give anything a five. I thought it was just okay. It was my first attepmt to make lamb. My kids didn't like it. For lack of a better word the meat tasted "farmy". I think less olive oil could be used for the garlic paste. Mine was more like a soup. And the cooking time could be adjusted. We cooked for 1 hr. and it was dry. It was also a little time consuming. The sauce was good. My husband doesn't like mint so I substitued green onion. At the suggestion of my mother I also used 1 c. sour cream, and 2 c. yogurt to make it thicker. The sauce was good. We also added red onion to the sandwiches. I'm glad I made the attempt, but I think I'll stick to restaurants.

    I was expecting something different. I think the tzatziki sauce is too runny but tasted good. The lamb is more of a roast instead of gyro meat. Gyro meat I thought was ground lamb that's seasoned and then put on a spit and cooked and sliced off. I don't know, it's just not what I expected.

    My family loved this lamb! I pan grilled flatbread pita that I bought at the greek place at the mall and I thought it made it better than regular pocket pita. Its a little messy while eating, but so worth it!
