Call it what it is...

So I was totally thrown by the name Taza Cafe, I searched by Broad Ripple and Greek Mediterranean, and found this. However, for anyone who may be confused as I was, this is the Gyro Joint! If you're a Mediterranean food fan, and like a great Gyro...this is the spot for you. The hours are hectic at best, Rageh seems to open when he wants and stay open till business slows. But this is the best Gyro in town, and trust me, I've had them all. Awesome Spanokopita too, if you're not in the spiced lamb mood.

The ambiance is non existent, you can't sit down. Sometimes it gets down right annoying waiting for food here, especially sine the most likely time for Rageh to be open is when there are hundreds of guided drunk missiles out there on the streets of Broad Ripple cramming the door. But well worth the wait.

The best part is Rageh himself, I have him in my phone book so I can call him for help learning Arabic, if I ever get to that point. Rageh is Egyptian for the record and super kinda and always willing to chat, but be a good sport and let him work when the place is packed. And just a word of advice, ask to add your own hot sauce, Rageh and his son can go a little over board.

Oh, this is the Gyro Joint?!!

Well now that I know THAT, I can wholeheartedly endorse it.

I CRAVE gyros here. Usually I just get the baby gyro, it's enough to fill me up. But get the regular size one if you're super hungry.

It's insane (think of those drunken-mess mazes of people at Hot Box at 3 a.m., compacted into a 4-foot-by-4-foot space and overflowing into the street). But, unlike some OTHER 3 a.m. grub spots, the food here is just as phenomenal when you're sober (which can't honestly be said of a few other Broad Ripple spots).

The meat is seriously perfect every time he shears of the slices from the spit. And the sauce. OMG. To die for. His sauce totally makes the gryo. Perfection.

I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

3am Gyros Runs

Well this is the spot to get some food when your in broad ripple. I like the hot dogs on the street, but when they cant cut it, this is the spot to go. The guy who serves you is pretty funny and if you not careful and your pretty wasted make sure you total your bill right. Its got alot of good gyros and it always comes fully loaded. Its the spot to go to before you head home after a long night of bar hoping.
