TASTE OF THE TOWN

Mr. Gyros Mediterranean Grill

Authentic, Fresh, & Handmade

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer • Photos by Carly Carpenter

S

pring is just around the corner, which means we should hopefully be able to sit outside and eat at our favorite restaurants again! While some people will vehemently go down fighting for their standard barbecued steaks and burgers, there are just as many of us out there who prefer somewhat lighter fare. Especially during the warmer months, nothing sits heavier than red meat, fries, and beer!

Now nobody’s saying that a good burger isn’t welcome now and then, but it’s always good to consider a variety of options. When it comes to great options here in Wilsonville, there is nothing better for a delicious, healthy, lighter meal than Mediterranean. More specifically, there is no place better than Mr. Gyros!

back to the hustle and bustle of the restaurant world.

As it turns out, a very close friend of Fayad’s also happens to be the owner of several Gyro House locations around town. Serendipitously, he was interested in selling one of those locations and discussed it with Fayad just when he was looking to get back into the industry. The timing was perfect! He bought the location in Wilsonville, transformed it, and on April 20th, 2021 he opened the doors of the very first Mr. Gyros restaurant here in Wilsonville!

Opening a new business, especially a new restaurant during the unpredictability of COVID, is a huge challenge. However, Fayad has done well and remains optimistic, and if the initial response he has gotten from the community is any indication, he’s more than up for the task! Beyond that, however, trying out a newer restaurant is all about the food, so let’s talk about the menu!

Fayad Zinab, owner and founder of Mr. Gyros, has been in the restaurant business for over 20 years. For those of you who’ve been in the greater Portland area for some time, you may remember the late great Greek Cusina—yes, the place with the purple octopus over the entryway. Fayad started his culinary journey there at the height of their popularity; it was a favorite dining spot in the downtown area for years and a very sad day when they closed. After his time there, Fayad went on to Daphne’s (another Greek/Mediterranean eatery) and then some fast food restaurants. It was in fast food where he gained a lot of his managerial experience, working his way up to the district manager level where he was overseeing 14 locations!

He left the food industry for a short time and tried his hand at something different, but he’s always been drawn 6 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MARCH 2022

First and foremost, as you may have guessed, are the gyros. These are his best selling & most popular items. Given the name of the restaurant, it doesn’t take a huge leap of faith to believe that, but even if you’re no stranger to Mediterranean cuisine, these gyros may surprise you.

Everything Fayad makes is authentic. These are his recipes, made with his own proprietary blend of spices. It’s all fresh and it’s all made from scratch—even his hummus, Baba Ganoush, and Tabbouleh.

When I say that this is “lighter” food, I’m referring to the fact that they use lots of vegetables and the freshest ingredients, not the size of the meals. Order a gyro and you’ll understand what I mean. The portions are exceedingly generous, and you’ll be glad of that fact once you taste it!

If a deliciously jam-packed gyro sounds like a bit too much for you, there are plenty of other options to choose from too. Fayad said that he’s been getting terrific responses on his Falafel (made completely from scratch, not a mix!), his Lamb Shank entree, his Kabobs, and his various bowls. One bowl in particular that’s been getting rave reviews

is the Mr. Gyros Goddess Bulgur Bowl.

This has become one of his signature dishes, and is a composition of bulgur, salad, hummus, feta cheese, Tzatziki, and chickpeas. This dish, along with many others on the menu, is vegetarian, so for those who have dietary restrictions this is a terrific place to find a variety of alternatives that fit your specific needs.

Fayad is always fine tuning and adding new items all the time. And of course, he makes all of his own desserts from

scratch, including Baklava (Walnut and Pistachio), Nut Roll, Maamoul Dates, and other pastries like Kunafeh and Kataif, as well as savory pies, including a Cheese Pie, Zaater Pie, and Spanakopita.

Everything is authentic, fresh, and handmade. You can’t lose, no matter what you order on the menu, though it could be argued that these are the best gyros in Oregon!

Fayad is grateful to be a part of the Wilsonville community. He wants to

thank those who have come out in support and he looks forward to serving more of you in the future. Eat something delicious and healthy while supporting local business! Eat at Mr. Gyros today!

Mr. Gyros is located at 30200 SW Boones Ferry Rd in the Wilsonville Old Town Square. Call 503-486-5198 for more information, or their menu is online at seamless.com or toasttab.com. Delivery is available through DoorDash.

BEAUTY TIPS

DIVINE COMPLEXIONS

Waxing 101

By Christine Lewy, Beauty Expert

M

aybe you’re a seasoned waxer or never done it before in your life. In this article, I’ll give you an overview of what waxing is and why you might love adding it to your routine.

Christine Lewy

Licensed Esthetician, Owner of Divine Complexions Spa, and West Coast Regional Glo Skin Beauty Makeup Artist.

How often should you get waxed? It depends on the area. Brow waxing is about every 3-6 weeks and body waxing is about 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair growth cycle is. But imagine silky smooth skin for up to a month! Will you have to keep waxing once you start? Nope, if you stop waxing your hair will go right back to what it was before you started waxing.

Waxing is the removal of the hair from the base of the root. This is different than shaving. When you shave, you’re slicing the hair off at the base of the skin but still leaving half of the hair hidden beneath the skin which can lead to bumps, itchiness, and ingrown hairs. Waxing can be done on any part of the body, and it can completely transform your look and attitude.

Take eyebrow waxing for example.

Getting your brows properly shaped by a professional can lift and open your eyes and properly frame your face. Talk about an instant face lift!

Have you not tried waxing before because you’ve heard it will make your hair grow back thicker and darker? This is completely false. When you remove the hair from the base at its root, it comes back feeling finer compared to shaving because the new hair is naturally tapered at the top vs being bluntly cut off from shaving. Another perk of waxing that debunks this myth over time waxing will reduce the number of hairs that will grow back. Hair growing back darker? Nope that won’t happen either. Only hormones and internal triggers can cause change to the natural color of your hair.

What’s used to remove the hair?

Not all waxing products used for hair removal are created equal. Some can be quite dangerous when not used correctly and can lead to irritated skin. There are honey waxes, sugar waxes, hard and soft waxes, and many more. At Divine Complexions, I’ve chosen to use NuFree which is a product made out of soybeans. It only adheres to the hairs and not to the skin like some waxes, making it a more gentle experience. It’s also one of the only waxing products on the market that is antimicrobial, which for you means a safer service.

Technique is important, and can make just as big of a difference in your experience as the products they use. Choose a licensed and trained professional called an Esthetician who specializes in this type of service. It’s a great idea to look online and read reviews or ask a friend for a referral.

At Divine Complexions we’ve become famous for our waxing, especially for eyebrows, and the eyebrow massage at the end is just part of the extra mile we go to make our services special and unique.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

TREES PLUS

SAFE & BEAUTIFUL TREES

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer Photos By Carly Carpenter

O

ne of the great benefits of living here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest is the abundance of rich and verdant woodlands. The problem is, we take a lot of it for granted. We assume that the more mature the tree, the less human intervention that’s required. That’s not always the case though. Mature trees, just like shrubs and bushes, require regular maintenance. Fortunately, we have professional tree care specialists in the area like Trees Plus, who specialize in this kind of work.

Owners Maria and Leo Cervantes have more than 15 years of experience in forestry. And Leo is a firefighter!

Together, they lead this team of residential tree experts on a mission to serve homeowners and business owners throughout the community. And it’s not just about keeping your trees healthy and beautiful. That’s their priority, but more than that, it’s also about protecting people, property, and investments. According to a report

by OSHA, there are over 100 landscape and tree fall

fatalities every year! That number would be significantly less if everyone in the country could employ Trees Plus for regular pruning and maintenance!

In their natural state, forests are complex ecosystems with millions of interdependent organisms working in conjunction to keep a healthy and sustainable balance. That said, trees are still susceptible to catching diseases, being attacked by beetles and other pests, struggling against the effects of drought, and more. Deep in the woods, none of that poses a problem to homeowners. Trees fall, it’s part of the cycle, the circle of life. But when those trees are next to homes, it can be incredibly dangerous.

One call to Trees Plus can not only save the lives of your trees, it can save the lives of your family! Tree care and maintenance for residential and small commercial properties, pruning and removal, brush clearing and removal, storm debris cleanup, stump grinding; they do it all and more!

That dead tree on your property you’ve been keeping your eye on, or even that healthy tree with the diseased limb; don’t wait for it to fall on your house! And don’t hire some fly-by-night operation boasting the lowest prices in town.

This is the kind of job that requires years of experience and expertise, and you want to use someone who has a proven track record and

12 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MARCH 2022

a reputation you can rely on.

Trees Plus is quick to respond, highly professional, detailoriented, and respectful of both you and the environment. They will always do right by both.

And Trees Plus, as an organization, is growing. They are looking now to bolster their teams with qualified individuals. Local certified arborists and estimators are needed, as well as tree climbers.

So if you fit that bill, now is the time to call.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we get to enjoy some of the most amazing and lush greenery that exists in the country. But trees and houses don’t mix, and if it comes down to it, the house is going to lose every time! Don’t fall into that trap of thinking that nature will take care of itself.

Call Leo and Maria, and sleep better tonight knowing that you’ve done your due diligence to keep your family and property safe. And for Spanish speakers, Leo and Maria are

bilingual! At Trees Plus, the customer and their trees always come first!

Give Trees Plus a call at 503-393-0608. Email them at support@ treesplusnw.com. Or check out their website for more information: treesplusnw.com.

BUILDING BUSINESS - BUILDING COMMUNITY

A message from your Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce CEO, Kevin Ferrasci O'Malley

On February 16th more than 140 business professionals attended the Hilton Garden Inn, Wilsonville (and virtual via Zoom) for our MultiChamber Business Town Hall regarding the I-205 Tolling Update. (An I-205 toll is proposed to go into effect late 2023 or early in 2024 on all lanes, all times of the day and every day of the year between Abernathy Bridge and the Tualatin River bridge.

Guest speakers Senator Kennemer and Clackamas Commissioner Savas provided insightful updates about the serious issues regarding major traffic diversion onto local roads and equity concerns. The business community voiced many concerns about the major increased costs to commuters and businesses without any real evidence that traffic congestion will improve. We will keep you posted as updates arise. Thanks to those who attended the event to learn more and express their concerns.

BELTRAN PROPERTIES GROUP at eXp Realty

A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE? It’s Just A Phone Call Away!

A

s most of you should be aware of by now, the real estate market has been on fire this past year.

Continued low inventory and low interest rates have kept things attractive for both buyers and sellers. Interest rates have finally, just in the last couple of months, started to climb again. We are still a long way from what would be considered average numbers, but the writing is on the wall. The unprecedented market conditions we’ve been enjoying will not last forever, and now is the time to act, if you want to take advantage.

Our friends Jaimy and Sherine Beltran with Beltran Properties

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer

Group at eXp Realty have consistently and generously kept us updated each month on all of the latest developments and trends in the industry. If you have any interest at all in buying or selling a property, there is no better agency in the Portland Metro area to work with. It’s been well documented that Jaimy is not only one of the top agents, but also one of the nicest people you could ever meet, and a highly-respected and active member of the community. Sherine, for her part, shines no less brightly, but from more of a behind-thescenes role.

30 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MARCH 2022

What happens behind the scenes?

While Jaimy is the face of Beltran, out pounding the streets, meeting clients, showing houses, and writing contracts, Sherine is the master of advertising and marketing. She has focused her energy more towards the recruitment, training, and development of talent within the Beltran team and also within the industry as a whole. She is a mentor, an “ambassador” of real estate, promoting the benefits of the business while also educating people on how to become a successful agent. Whether they are already in the industry but floundering in the bottom quartile, or just starting out and considering it as a possible career path, she works with people to illuminate many of the finer points of the business which can lead to greater success.

Sherine’s vast experience and knowledge of the industry, combined with her ever-expanding network of agents and experts in the field, places her in the ideal position to assist anyone who is currently looking for guidance, even if you’re not planning to work directly with the Beltran Team! She has this incredible ability to read people; to quickly and effectively ferret out who you are at your core, and by playing to your strengths, carve out and develop your own personalized brand. Her mentorship literally turns beginners into pros, and average agents into superstars. So if you’re looking to take that next step, a call to Sherine should be your first course of action.

Working with Sherine: Agents tell all!

Davide Cook, a current member of the Beltran Team, and a mentee of Sherine’s, offered to provide a testimonial on her behalf. Davide had been an agent for over a year, but was struggling to find the success he knew he was capable of. He reached out to Sherine and she mentored him, regardless of the fact that he was working for a competing agency, and without asking for anything in return.

She never tried to recruit him. She never tried to steal him away for the benefit of her own team. She just sincerely wanted to help, and for the first time in his career, he felt like he had a friend in the industry. With her guidance, he found the success that had previously eluded him, and he has since joined the Beltran team!

Carlos Salazar is an independent agent who also counts Sherine as one of his best allies in the business. She was one of the first people he contacted when becoming a realtor, and she not only helped him make the leap, but also provided him with “incredible insight” to help him get his start.

According to Carlos, Sherine has “always

taken my calls, shared valuable information, and supported me. There is nobody better to have in your corner!”

It’s your turn now!

Sherine quoted Dale Carnegie stating, “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” And that’s what she brings to the table.

By identifying people’s strengths and helping them to develop their brand around those, Sherine ensures her mentees will enjoy their work and subsequently discover their greatest success.

Looking for a mentor in the real estate industry?
