Never one to shy away from a new meat dish, [Arby's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-fish-sandwich) has just debuted the new Spicy Greek Gyro.

A gyro is a classic Greek dish made from meat cooked on a [vertical rotisserie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rotisserie-revolution). Arby's version consists of sliced gyro meat, paired with lettuce, tomato, onion, tangy tzatziki sauce, and a [spicy chili sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-sandwiches), all served on a fluffy pita. As Arby's puts it "It’s like the Greek Gyro you know and love, except with 100% more spicy sauce and the word 'spicy' in its name."

The new Spicy Greek Gyro is available for just a limited time and can be enjoyed a la carte or as part of a meal combo with your choice of side and a drink.
