BEST EVER
From Susan of Alexandria, Virginia on .
This stuff can be used in so many dishes. They have a shelf life don't have to be refrigerated right away. Worth stocking up on.
Delicious!!!!
From JENNIFER MARA of CHICAGO, Illinois on .
these were delicious for a quick meal!
Great Gyros!
From Janet Yurcik of Cleveland, Ohio on .
Great product. Just heat and eat! I made these on warm Mediterranean flatbreads (lightly grilled), topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, marinated onions, and vegan tzatziki sauce. Delicious! I got about 3 gyros from this package. I love Viana products!!!!
Gyros are great!
From Serialmom of Galloway, Ohio on .
Looking at the picture I was sure the texture would be to firm for me. This is a great tasting product! It truly makes great Gyros. it cooks up fast and easy , I suggest you only heat what you are using since it takes just as much effort to heat it the first time as it does to reheat the left overs. Second time around the texture isn't as good. Will buy it again! Maybe right now!!
non vegan hubby love this
From nicole of macomb, Michigan on .
I am obsessed with this product. I fry it and add it to a pita with tomato, red onion and homemade vegan tziki and BAM! it's a gyro. My husband gets very excited when I tell him I am making this for dinner.
Awesome tasting product
From Josh Dixon of Rock Hill, South Carolina on .
I have tried a few Viana products and this one is my favorite by far. I love it in a pita or tortilla with lettuce, pickles, red onion and some tahini dressing. It won't fool you into thinking it's real meat, but that doesn't matter. It is spiced very well and holds up on it's own merit.
tasty but all taste the same
From hiee of teaneck, New Jersey on .
I find all the Viana products to taste similar (like salami) but they are still chewy and tasty.
omg yummy!!
From Tracy Heckenbach of Fort Wayne, Indiana on .
Very addicting!! I put it on a pita with tomatoes, lettuce and vegan ranch. Can never have enough of them. Even my 11mo old baby scarfs it down
Delicious!
From hollydancer of Houston, Texas on .
Absolutely delicious. Cook in a pan for 5 minutes and you have a yummy sandwich with great spices. Excellent texture and flavor. I had mine on a bun with nothing else and loved it.
The package was pretty much room temperature when it arrived, and i refrigerated it right away. Had no issues, so don't worry if it isn't cold when you get it.
Awesome
From Kim O of Hartford, Wisconsin on .
These were a pleasant surprise. I didn't like gyros before becoming vegan, so I was skeptical. But, I ate it with tomatoes, vegan sour cream, lettuce and black olives on a flour tortilla and it was great. Easy to make to-just warm up.
AWESOME!
From DM Schmidt of Wonder Lake, Illinois on .
These have to be one of the best faux meats we have ever tried. And not too salty, as another reviewer had said. And I am very salt sensitive.
We made homemade Gyros sandwiches that were better than anything we ever ate out at a restaurant!
Will definitely buy again and again!
Insanely delicious!
From Abraham of Seattle, Washington on .
I got these at whole foods last night, and was amazed at how good it was. I recently became vegetarian because of health issues and have been craving a gyro for months. I saw this at whole foods and decided to try it, and I honestly say it is better than a gyro from my favorite gyro place. There is no grease involved and no hard chips of tendon or whatever it is in gyros, and best of all, it isn't clogging my arteries! Also, the fact that it is organic, makes it all the better (no gmo's). If you get it, you can get the pita and all the fixins' from the whole foods salad bar, very convenient indeed!
No wonder they're often sold out!
From Veronika of Stavanger, Norway on .
After we went on vacation to Greece, my better half had aquired a taste for gyros. I had read many good things about these, and ordered 1. When it came I cooked it and served it with fries, salad and some soy sour cream, and it was delicious! He also loved it, so now I have bought 4 more, knowing it won't be enough :)
Ssssooo Yummy!
From Anonymous of Hartford, Connecticut on .
Carmelized onions and this "meat" with cucumber sauce (tofu, garlic, dill, vinegar, touch olive oil), chopped tomatoes, and fresh spinach on a pita bread. Who ever needs to eat meat again?!
Pretty good made like a gyro
From Brenda Marie of New York, New York on .
Had some folks over and made this - with all the pitas and fixings like a real gyro - even with vegan tatizki sauce.
It is not just like gyros or gyro meat - mind you I have not had real gyro for easily over a decade now to compare it to. They were tasty, though - and a big hit with everyone. One package is enough for three or four people to pile on as a whole meal too.
Salty to the max!
From Anonymous of Newport, Oregon on .
These are terrible! So much salt can not bear them. I liked this Brand's Cowgirl Steaks, so tried these. Big mistake.
AMAZING
From MegaBeth of Chicago, Illinois on .
I'm so in love with these.
Makes authentic tasting gyros
From Sandra Athanas of Piedmont, South Carolina on .
This product is delicious and makes for very authentic tasting gyros. After putting the strips in a bit of olive oil, and lightly heating them for about 2 minutes, remove from pan. Then take a piece of pita and heat it in the same pan. Remove from pan and set on foil. Spread vegan tzatizki onto your pita, add a bit of hot mustard, veggie gyros, onions and tomato. Wrap in the foil, kind of like a burrito. There you have it an excellent tasting gyro. My mother who is NOT vegan loved these and is begging me to make them again.
Most excellent Veggie Gyros
From Angel of Lansing, Illinois on .
To my surprise this was very very good I had it on pita bread with homemade vegan tzatziki sauce and fresh lemon juice
very good
From Richard Rankin of La Plata, Missouri on .
I was skeptical of the Viana brand of faux meat products. From the nutritional info, they appeared to be using salt and fat to flavor the products. Normally, I wouldn't bother with such an item, but have been trying many different faux meats, and thought we'd try one.
The flavor and texture is excellent. There is no residual gluten or bean taste as in many faux meats. None of the spices are overwhelming as if they are trying to cover up the substitute protein source. While I wouldn't say a carnivore would mistake this for 'real' gyros, I think most would gladly eat it. The spices seemed to mainly center around paprika. It was unnecessarily salty.
However, we ate it on pita with a cucumber sauce and got 4 servings, not 2.5, so in the end, both the fat and salt content was not out of line. You'd have to really be piling it on to eat half a package of this as a single serving.
flavorful but WAY too salty!
From Jenny Threet of Winchester, Tennessee on .
One serving has 1050mg salt, or 44% of your daily intake. They were OK but that's WAY too much salt for my tastes.
Love this!
From Paula Flom of Prior Lake, Minnesota on .
This stuff is great. We made Gyros tonight and I'm cartwheeling out of the kitchen 'cuz I love it.
Very tasty but way too meaty
From Anonymous of Athens, Greece on .
This is a product for serious meat lovers. I think it is very tasty and extremely filling, but there is something about the texture that reminds me of meat too much and my boyfriend thinks so too. But like all Viana products in Greece the come cheap and are quick to make.
Yum!
From Tracy of Fort Wayne, Indiana on .
Made my own vegan cucumber sauce, put it on a pita with onion, lettuce, and tomato and I was in heaven!
Tasty, and a little goes a long way
From Cathy Flick of Richmond, Indiana on .
Very tasty, although pricey. A little can go a long way, however - can freeze the pieces on a tray and bag, use for the taste and protein in veggie sandwiches where the veggies are the main ingredient. Very good with rice.
Wow! So Deeee-Lish!
From Tofu Mom of Puyallup, Washington on .
I was so skeptical, I admit, even up to the point where I dumped this stuff out of the package into a fry pan. I mean, most commercially-made seitan-like things are just... well... bland, you know? But OH MY GOSH! Once warmed and topped with Gyro "fixin's" this stuff was insanely authentic tasting, PERFECTLY seasoned, without the "ish" factor of being too meat-like. I need to buy about 50 more packages.
Great!
From ozu of Chicago, Illinois on .
Great flavor and texture. One of the better fake meats out there.
Delicious!!!!!
From Anonymous of Los Angeles, California on .
These were so yummy!!!! What a great meal
Yummy!!
From Anonymous of Berkeley, California on .
I made these and served them in a pita topped with a homemade tzatsiki sauce (mix together some Tofutti sour cream, dill, cucumber, and some salt). Then topped it with lettuce, tomatoes, and a spicy BBQ sauce - Yummers!
Incredible!
From D Barnes of APO, Armed Forces Europe/Middle East/Canada on .
This stuff is unbelievable. Seriously, I am still in awe - we had vegan gyros for dinner tonight with some Greek roasted potatoes and carrots on the side, and I can't remember the last time I was so pleased after a meal! There are no cooking instructions on the package, so I just warmed the strips up in a skillet until they were hot. Absolutely delicious.
very, very tasty!
From Mary A Miller of Dallas, Texas on .
