That's not the same.
Similar idea, different approach.
@Laughing Grass what's you take on......
Gyros are americanized greek food. Usually supposed to be lamb and comes in thin frozen slices........totally different
Actually there is a pretty good place to get them but it's not the usual gyro.

Yeah, they have gyros in most Greek restaurants but not the same. Pronounced yero as Gyro is Greek for round movement or spinning. Donair is a Turkish word that refers to the rotation of the meat being prepared. I lived in Halifax in the 80's where the KOD was founded by a Greek gentleman named Peter Gamoulakos . The main difference being a Gyro has a Tzatziki sauce consisting of sour cream, yogurt and garlic. The Donair's use a sweet sauce consisting of condensed milk, sugar and garlic. Man, now I am hungry.

LOL, what you said with a few added tidbits. Met the dude once upon a time. Used to sell Donair meat by the pound and things of sauce. Was stoner heaven. Grab a case of Keith's, couple pounds of Donair meat with sauce and wraps than over the Alexander Keith's memorial to drink, eat and smoke. Good times.

Very different. Pork and chicken gyro from a rotisserie are Greek.That's not the same.

They can come in any meat it's just A style of preparation similar to shawarma. The lamb is by far the best flavour for me.
the place we got here that does the east coast/Halifax Donair. Man that that sweet sauce is killer with the onions and the tomatoes. But I doubt that stuff is lamb. I don't know what it is it's like thinly sliced meat loaf or something.
