Gyros are made from lamb not veal. Asian or ethnic grocers often sell thin sliced lamb meat although it's usually frozen, or visit a halal butcher. Make the sauce from cucumbers that have been skinned and the seeds removed. Add that to a good whole milk yogurt (find that at an Indian grocer) along with chopped mint and a little chopped cilantro leaves if you like, chopped tomato (deseeded) and onions, let it marinate, look up recipes for tzatziki sauce. I make my own gyros and they're the best. I fry up the lamb and grill onions, then add a bit of garlic, marjoram, and rosemary at the end. The best.
And forget about so called "greek yogurt" because that's fake, there's no such thing as "greek yogurt" in Greece, just good yogurt made from whole milk. This thing called "greek yogurt" here in America is just a kitschy thing, like "chop suey" is American not Chinese.
