A Salaam Allah Qim!
I don't know about authentic Greek Gyros, but most of the Greeks I have known over the years prefer the spice blend of Schwarma. Schwarma is traditionally lamb meat. However, the "cones" in most Middle Eastern restaurants are made from beef with leftover lamb fat added for flavor. I know, because the owner of Holyland has their own butchery inside the store, and he told me they pack up their own selected meats, and send them along with their own spice blend to Chicago to have the cones processed(compressed).
They also now use only halal meat. And the taste is outstanding. I plainly don't care for tzaziki sauce (cucumber/yogourt sauce) as much as tahini sauce accented with authentic hot sauce, which the Holyland makes from scratch also.
