  Finally. We have an actual gyro in the neighborhood.
  
  There are a lot of places that claim to serve gyros, but this is what I'm talking about. Sumela has the thin slices of browned, tasty meat carved off straight off a spit. So flavorful. So good.
  
  The rice, babaghanouj, and bread are all excellent as well, but I would recommend getting the salad with your meal, otherwise it seems like you've got a gigantic container of meat. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, unless you don't want heart disease.
  
  While the lunch special is still pretty pricey, it's nice that the "small" is plenty of food for anyone at lunch.
  
  I will be eating here embarrassingly often.

  I asked for 2 orders of just plain falafel. I double checked with them that they were not charging me for the actual entree which came with salad and bread and hummus and was more expensive. I just wanted a plain order of falafel. They assured me they weren't and charged me $22 for 10 minuscule balls of falafel that came soaked in a tub of hummus and tahini, with salad and bread--a veritable entree that I neither wanted nor had ordered. In fact, it was what I had explicitly not asked for.
  
  Do not go here, they take forever, overcharge, and overdress the food. You can find much better Middle Eastern/Turkish/Mediterranean food in Brooklyn, especially somewhere that will actually listen to its customers.

  High quality delicious Turkish food! Really fresh ingredients. I loved the chicken soup and the chicken Adana wrap. Wrap was grilled to perfection. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend for delivery or takeout! Delivery came in less than 20 minutes.

  One can only expect a chicken gyro to come on a pita, right? Well that's what I ordered but definitely not what I got. I got more like a burrito with chicken in it. For such a simple order on my first try of Sumela, I was disappointed and won't be back. Ordered a chicken Gyro with white sauce and onions only to get a Gyro with sautéed yellow onions no white sauce and on a wrap instead of in a traditional Pita as they normally come. Had a few bites and just tossed the rest very disappointed.

  Save your money and go to a halal cart!
  Total waste of money.
  
  I ordered lamb gyro with rice, falafel with rice and french fries. It came with a sad bland salad.
  Falafel was gross, nobody in the house wanted to finish it. Lamb gyro was nothing special. French fries were fine. Salad was typical fast food salad as an afterthought- iceberg lettuce, pale flavorless tomato.
  
  Trust me, food cart gyro and falafel are much tastier and much less expensive.
  I suspect a lot of the positive reviews on here are from friends and family of owner or employees.
