Modern Greek eatery GRK opened its doors in Sandton, Johannesburg in early July 2022, launching its menu with an exciting modern twist on classic Greek street food.
A classic gyro is usually made from meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served wrapped or stuffed in pita bread. The owners saw an opportunity to make the gyro the star of the show, however via the “new method” of cooking the meat
The owners encountered this new method while in Greece a few years ago and it entails grilling top-quality meat on flat grills onsite and thinly sliced and then cut on open kitchen butcher blocks with custom-made half-moon knives.
Although a different take on the traditional gyro, there is no compromise on that punchy gyro flavour. This method of cooking is cleaner and more sanitary offering discerning diners great-tasting food, in a modern, casual setting.
Pork, beef, lamb, chicken and kofta gyro is offered, all served in traditional pita and come in four variations; village (choriatiki), wholegrain, carob and corn, each containing their own nutritional values.
Furthermore, for vegetarians and vegans; falafel, traditional halloumi and mushroom options are offered, which are equally as delicious as the meat options.
Besides gyro, GRK also specialises in Vaflaki (freshly baked mini waffles imported from Greece), homemade Italian gelato (using imported products), as well as authentic ready-made meals which are personally prepared by their in-house team of Greek chefs, ready for you to grab on the go or enjoy at the eatery.
