fries. Gyros options include beef, lamb, chicken or falafel. The hummus is
a favorite side or starter. Delivery available. No reservations. Breakfast,
lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
MR. GYROS INC.
3232 Williams Blvd., Kenner 466-6833

of eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, ground beef, rice and cream cheese sauce. Reservations
