Juicy, perfectly spiced chicken gyro with creamy tzatziki wrapped in warm naan and loaded with fresh veggies. Used @laxmifoodsbrand Garlic paste. It tastes exactly like homemade, made with fresh ginger & garlic and their handcrafted, traditional tandoor-baked Naans that are soft, fluffy, and preservative free. So good in every bite!
