* Gyros is Greek. I think it's fine if Iranian, Palestinian or Lebanese restaurants want to make it, but probably it's best to start with the ethnic original. (As for gyros vs doner, I'm not *about* to get in between Greeks and Turks. ;)

* Gyros is a singular noun. One gyros, many gyros. A gyro is a sort of helicopter.
