During this time of year, I find myself craving the sunshine and warmth of the Mediterranean. However, it is not plausible for me to hop on a plane to head there at this moment in time. Enter Silver Sands Gyro.
Silver Sands Gyro is a new restaurant located in Milford, Conn. I’ve enjoyed their food quite a few times as of late, and I will be honest that every time was a treat. The decor fits into that peaceful blue that is associated with the serene Mediterranean Sea that is miles away from Milford. However, it’s the food that is worth the buzz.
The menu consists of a Subway-style build your own pita, salads, and bowls, as well as some special options. What is really cool about Silver Sands Gyro is that the fact that you can completely customize your meal — from meat choices (chicken, Falafel, steak, gyro, and kofta), to dressings and toppings. However, they do have a few other treats on the menu as well, such as the delicious rice pudding and baklava.
Right now, my go-to on the menu is a pita with grilled chicken, lettuce, onions, and tzatziki sauce. That is my go-to because their ingredients are so fresh and delicious. I’ve also had their Falafel — which was my first time having it — and it was absolutely amazing. They had a little kick of spice of them, but did not lack flavor. In addition, I’ve also tried their seasoned fries and they were absolutely delicious as well. What I liked about those is that those fries don’t taste overly salty. Instead they rely on natural flavors and seasonings. Perfect for this high blood pressure girly.
Oh, and before I forget, we need to talk about the hummus. The hummus was absolutely amazing. One bite of this is like biting into a piece of heaven. It is the perfect addition to anything that you get on the menu — from bowl to pita.
I will say that this is the perfect grab and go place if you need something quick or just want something to grab for dinner on your way home. One thing that I will note about this place is the takeout stays so well. You know some foods that you need to consume right then and there? Yeah, well this place can be taken home and enjoyed without lack of flavor. And in addition to in person ordering, they also offer all of their options online as well.
It is safe to say that I will be a regular at Silver Sands Gyro — whether it’s a falafel pita, or a bite of hummus — long after my winter blues subside.
