A place with different size baklava

Gyros of oz

Greek with blue mosaic tiny tiles on the side. The thin columns - faux - not to support the roof but lend an enclosed snug feeling to the diners.
Gyro burro - Novel idea of gyros in a flour tortilla instead of the pita bread. Surprise is  french fries soaked in a sauce, very tangy.
The lady gave out samples of gyro burro. Since we had already ordered, she figured she didnt have to sell the product to us. She would grab the passers by and ask them if they no Euros .
A man said that he once had them at Chandler mall. She tried the next trick.
'Its all homemade, the gyros, the fries, the hot sauce. Its not from a freezer or  a box.
The man acquiesced and said he worked in the mall and promptly he was promised a discount.
Since it is only 5 days old and 3-4 days shy of grand opening, the owner asked us about the taste. He wanted us to acknowledge that the burro was huge. luckily for us, we had split it into two so it could be shared. A picture is worth 1000 words.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
