New choice for meat lovers in Oakland

 A restaurant in Oakland called Madonna'm has been known as serving Mexican
 food. The new owner of the restaurant has added new variaties into their
 menu. I would like to recommend meat lovers to try their homemade Gyro
 either between pita breads with fresh veg.salad or as salad with yogurt,
 tomato sauce and melted butter. They have some other meat variaties, too.

 You can also try their lentil and mushroom soups for different tastes. Their
 location is on Forbes Ave. next to Subway and accross McDonald's.

 If anyone else tried those new tastes, your opinion would be helpful, too.
 Thanks.

 They announce their Homemade Gyro on the window. And I was told in person
 that they purcase their meat and prepare the Gyro loaf/ball inside by
 themselves, not from a factory.

 One more thing. The new owner renamed the store as SULTAN'S.
