Lunch at Royal Kebabs & Gyros & Other Mediterranean Cuisine

“For those with pure food indulgence in mind…[satisfy] your desires with our ever changing internationally and seasoned inspired small plates.

—Management

After running some errands, Cecile and I had a late lunch at Royal Kebabs & Gyros which has an extensive menu of Middle Eastern food at Kirkwood Plaza in Campbell. She had a Greek Salad which included pita bread, and I had a Falafel Wrap.

We have had their Turkish doner kebabs their before which is a sizzling stack of spiced meat slowly cooked on an upright or vertical rotisserie, then sliced with a knife into delicious, tender, thin shavings from the outer layer. The vertical rotisserie dates back to the 19th century Ottoman Empire. It has inspired similar dishes like the Arab shawarma, Greek gyros, Canadian donair, and Mexican el pastor.

After our meal, we saw one of their employees taking a promotional photos of a dish of succulent looking Lamb Shank smothered with onions, carrots, celery, parsley in white wine sauce, served with rice. She allowed me to take a photo of it, and I told her I will definitely have my eye on having this for dinner on our next visit.
