Looking for a blast of savory flavors or a nice scenery to lounge in? Then look no further. The Feisty Greek is here to solve your dilemma. 


Come take a swing at The Feisty Greek at 38 Vanderbilt Ave, in Norwood. Once you see the festive window paintings then you know you're there. 


Music and joyful employees welcomed me into the restaurant. You can definitely tell it’s family owned because everyone gets along so well.


There was plenty of seating, even though it is mainly a take-out restaurant.You could do many things like chill or study,while eating your food.


Instantly, the smells hit my nose like a firework. It smelled like grilled steak and chicken. My nose was very delighted and I felt good immediately.


It was personally hard to order because there were so many great choices. I chose  the Authentic Pork Gyro because the name really caught my eye. 


After ordering I surprisingly received my food in two minutes. Part of the reason was nobody was in line and it wasn’t really busy.

The Authentic Pork Gyro cost about $10.46. This is a pretty good deal for such a great meal. 


The Authentic Pork Gyro had a welcoming scent and looked very appetizing. The tomatoes, onions, fries, and the pork were just so amusing.


I took a bite and it met my high expectations. It was really tasty and savory. I didn’t want to stop eating because it was so good. 


The taste of the pork gyro was really good but I was a bit disappointed by the fact that it wasn’t really hot. It was a little warm but despite the fact that it came out in 2 minutes,  it wasn’t really as hot as it should have been.


But overall the combination of the onions and tomatoes and the pork was very splendid. The fries just put all the ingredients together. 


My personal rating for the Authentic Pork Gyro is a 9.5/10. It didn’t get a full rating because it wasn't as hot as I wanted it.


I also saw there were sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks in the refrigerator. There was a big variety if needed.
