Recommendations for Greektown Eats? Good Gyros a Plus [Detroit, MI]

Glad you enjoyed it! GF's gyros are something that more people should know about...

Recommendations for Greektown Eats? Good Gyros a Plus [Detroit, MI]

I still stand by the fact that Golden Fleece has the best gyros in metro Detroit. The sandwiches are huge and cheap (GF is the diviest place in Greektown), but the meat is what sets them apart. Very thick, juicy hunks of meat with a wonderful charred crunchiness to the exterior.

I wouldn't recommend everything else as highly, but the gyros are spectacular.

Filipino in Metro Detroit

I might be the last to know this, but with New Lutong Pinoy now closed and Royal Kubo already gone, is there anywhere in Metro Detroit to find filipino cuisine? And does anyone know the story behind New Lutong Pinoy closing, and if they're relocating somewhere else?

FYI: A place called Satay House appears to be opening in its place, with a listed grand opening of November 19th. It'll supposedly feature (I believe) Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, which would be a gain for Detroit, since I don't believe you can find Malay/Singaporean food anywhere else. Assuming the place is decent, of course.
