Adel's Gyros - Carmel

We decided to visit Adel's on a chilly Friday night and found ourselves to be the only customers at the time. A few others came in for take-out and there was another group dining in. The owner was very welcoming and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation with him during our visit. My gyro was delicious and generously portioned, while my wife's full-course meal was so large she had to take half of it home. She particularly enjoyed the green beans and chicken, although she found the chicken to be a bit dry (possibly due to our lengthy conversation with the owner). Adel also offers a unique selection of beers and wines. He mentioned plans to open another area of the restaurant for live music and belly dancing. If you're looking for a change from the usual chain restaurants, give Adel's a try.

I recently relocated from Chicago and have been craving a gyro. This restaurant nailed every aspect of the dining experience. They offer outdoor seating, booths, evening dinner options, a great selection of beers, and the food is delicious. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be returning soon for dinner.
