Available for a Limited Time Beginning Monday, November 1st at the Hapeville, Tucker and Forest Park Locations
Vegetable lovers rejoice. Grecian Gyro has added a seasonal Mediterranean Veggie Wrap to its menu of affordable, authentic Greek favorites made with the finest and freshest ingredients. Available for a limited time only, the new wrap will be at all Grecian Gyro locations beginning Monday, November 1, 2010.
It may not be the same as a trip to Greece, but with each bite of Grecian Gyro’s delectable new Mediterranean Veggie Wrap you'll be transported there. Thinly sliced grilled onions, nestled with fresh zucchini and ripe eggplant provide a crisp crunch to each bite, while a layer of roasted red peppers and imported feta cheese give it a bit of extra zing. Drizzled with Nick's famous Grecian Sauce and wrapped in fluffy pita bread, Grecian Gyro’s new veggie packed wrap will make your taste buds a world traveler. The Mediterranean Veggie Wrap ($4.99) joins a selection of vegetarian-friendly menu items including spanakopita, dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice and spices in lemon juice), hummus, Grecian salads, the traditional Veggie Wrap and more.
Open for 28 years, Grecian Gyro is an Atlanta-based, family-owned, authentic Greek eatery specializing in freshly made gyro wrap sandwiches topped with a secret, homemade sauce. With the first location opening in 1982 in Hapeville, Grecian Gyro now has three locations and is credited with serving “Atlanta’s Best Gyro.” The speed of service, uncompromising quality, freshest ingredients and affordable prices ($5-$10) make each location an ideal spot for a quick lunch or family dinner.

Olive Oil: Important Part Of Mediterranean Diet
(NAPSI)-The Mediterranean diet is not a prescribed eating program. Rather, it is a set of eating habits that has been linked to reducing heart disease, cancer and mortality rates.
Also, there is a general consensus among health professionals that the Mediterranean diet is healthier than the North European and American diets because of the higher consumption of grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and olive oil. Olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fats, doesn't raise blood cholesterol and is a good source of antioxidants. Using an oil such as Iliada Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced in the Kalamata region of Greece, can add a boost of flavor and health benefits to your meals.
Try this quick, one-dish meal full of distinctive Mediterranean flavors:
Garlic Stuffed Olive & Tomato Bruschetta with Arugula
Serves 6
1 loaf fresh Ciabatta bread
¼ cup Iliada Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups chopped and de-seeded vine-ripe tomatoes
½ jar Iliada garlic-stuffed green olives, chopped roughly
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 bag washed baby arugula leaves
A few leaves of fresh basil, ripped
Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Slice bread into 2-inch-thick pieces. Brush with oil. Place on baking tray; bake until slightly brown around edges, about 8 minutes.
Mix tomatoes, olives, salt and pepper. Toss in arugula just before serving to avoid getting soggy.
Top warm bread slices with tomato mixture. Garnish with basil.
