I followed the recipe except that I didnt put the meat mixture in the food processor before putting into a loaf pan. For some reason, the meat was super greasy and fell apart when slicing. Maybe next time I will just make thin patties and throw them on my george. Other than that, with adding tazikiki sauce and onion, it was fabulous! Will make again

These were great! My son and I made these as a school project and we had a lot of fun. I made homemade Tzatziki sauce to go with them, and the whole family gobbled them up.

turned out great. I melted a slice of feta cheese on top, served with Tzatziki sauce 1 and topped with tomato and cucumbers in a homemade pita. My 11 month old and 2 year old even ate them.

This recipe was just what we needed for our gyro fix! I used oregano in place of the savory. I made the Magpie's Cucumber Sauce on this site for the tzatziki. Also served on warmed no pocket pita bread and served w/ lettuce, tomato and onion! YUMMERS!

I think this was excellent, my wife and I both enjoyed it. No lamb, so I used all beef and doubled the recipe. Used some extra of each seasoning. I added a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the mix for a better consistency in the meat. Shaped them into about brick shape and grilled them. With homemade pitas and tzatziki sauce, garden tomatoes and onions, it was excellent. Will definitely do again.

Wow! Tasted just like our favorite greek restaurant! I baked mine in loaf form the day before, refrigerated & sliced thin & reheated the next day. I also substituted thyme for savory. (I read somewhere online it was a good substitute.)

Delicious! I added 1/2 a teaspoon of crushed red chili flakes because my husband likes things spicy. Instead of making burger-sized patties, I made small flattened meatballs and browned them in a large non-stick skillet. I served these with hummus, lettuce and tomatoes in warm whole-wheat pitas. I will definitely make these again!

We thought this was quite good! Instead of making small patties, I just mixed it all together and browned it in a frying pan. I also made a gyro sauce to go with it (2/3 cup plain yogurt, 1/3 cup finely chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, & some parsley).

Excellent flavor to the meat (I did increase the coriander and did not have any savory). The meat was formed into mini sausage shapes and baked in the oven at 400 for 12 minutes. After cooling a bit, they were cut lengthwise in half and put into pitas along with tzatziki sauce, red onion, tomato, cucumber, and lettuce. Totally terrific!!!

These were pretty good. Not quite the gyros we get at the local restaurant but it still had a good taste to it.

Sorry, we did not care for this at all. Didn't taste much like a gyro. I was so hoping it would!

My boyfriend loved this recipe. I thought it was a little too Lamby, next time I will do a 25:75 mix for lamb to beef istead of 50:50. But the flavor was good. We will never need to go out for Gryos again.

Mu husband wanted to have Greek night and this was the closest to lamb gyros I could find on this site. Followed the recipe exact (well, used 2/3c panko breadcrumbs in place of toast). We crumbled the burgers and stuffed into pita with tzatziki sauce from the Joy of Cooking. Made an orzo salad using the dressing "absolutely Fabulous Greek House Dressing" from this site. Hubby gave it all 4 stars.

Very good as written for the burgers! I wish I could have found the savory, but like others I ended up substituting with oregano. I also tried making this in a loaf form for gyros, but made this way I would only give it 4 stars - only because we have a wonderful greek restaurant we love and this doesn't have quite the texture or flavor as what they serve for gyros. BUT this is not a gyro recipe, it is burger recipe and even the adaption to gyro meat is still really good and the closest I have come to making decent gyros myself.
