As for gyros, fat boys has a gyro special, it's ok, but it's probably not what your looking for.

Not much around in the takeaway kebab/souv/gyro market.

Hummus House do shawarmas. Decent, if small. Just had one of their sujuk shawarmas.

Maybe Aroma on 19, but I think they only do mezze.

Old mate outside Neil's mini mart does 'kebabs', attempt at own risk.

Never come across a proper Greek restaurant in PP besides Steve's steakhouse.

I've rarely seen sheep here, the only times have been around Cham communities near the city and my Cham friend's farm in Takeo.
It doesn't seem an ideal climate for an animal with so much hair. Goats are good for clearing scrub but they totally destroy trees and
everything else in their vicinity. Neither animal is suited to low-lying swampy ground, and will suffer foot-rot and other complications
down on the plains and wetlands.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I was literally having a conversation with AE86 a few hours ago about goats and their habits, not the least of which is climbing trees...

No sheep in Cambodia!

Always "hope" but never "expect".
