About

"We are so honored to bring our food to Sacramento with the opening of Jayna Gyro in East Sacramento," said Jayna Gyro and Tarla Grill Owner Yusuf Topal. "Sacramento shares our passion for creating places that neighbors and families can gather together over incredible and diverse food inspired by culture and local ingredients." Jayna Gyro's menu features traditional Greek items including Gyro chicken or beef and lamb pitas in house-made lavash wrap to house-made dolmades and octopus salad. Dips include hummus, baba ghanoush and tzatziki along with Turkish inspired desserts such as kunefe and baklava. Over half the menu features vegetarian dishes including a roasted chickpea gyro and gyro bowls and halal meat for its lamb burgers. In addition, the menu features a "Family Meal" of whole rotisserie chicken with Mediterranean salad and Greek fries for $29.95 and cocktails to go. For sweet tooths, frozen Greek yogurt is available with a choice of baklava, olive oil and sea salt, Nutella and hazelnut or honey lemon toppings. Tarla Executive Chef Kadriye Baspehlivan developed the menu with Topal inspired by their shared heritage and passion for culturally exciting eats. Baspehlivan moved to Napa, CA from Turkey after finishing a business administration degree to study at the Culinary Institute of America where she worked her way up from intern to Executive Chef at Tarla Grill. For Jayna Gyro's rotisserie chicken, she marinates the Mary's Free-Range Chicken for three days in a champagne vinegar and spice brine and served with a Napa chardonnay reduced gravy. Operations and customer experience is led under General Manager Demetri Gregorakis. A Sacramento native, Gregorakis is a first generation Greek and former co-owner of Black Bird. He started his career in Greece and has worked over 17 years in the industry, most recently at The Rind in midtown Sacramento. Jayna Gyro's space was created with the neighborhood in mind as a place that one can grab-and-go on a lunch break or sit at the bar and enjoy a beer with a lamb burger. The space's décor is inspired by the rich culture and colors of the Greek Isles through the collaboration of Mendy Peterson of MHPDesign and renowned muralist Maren Conrad. Peterson worked closely with Topal and Conrad to understand their vision and gather both new and vintage Mediterranean pieces to create yet another curated space to elevate the experience for the guest. Conrad's murals bring to life the sparkling turquoise waters of the Greek Islands with Medusa murals and shimmers of gold and silver. BenefitsHealth insurance 401k Match Employee Discounts
