I just love this place. Best Gyro and cheese burgers!!! I order all the time. The place has always good but just keeps getting better and better. Not on the grid of popular Ditmars but off the beaten path. Amazing food and service. You just gotta check it out. Very fine, clean place.
Clean, simple spot.Fresh food, the lettuce appeared bright & the tomatoes not soggy.Can be seen from the main streetVariety of beveragesOption for sliced and chunks re gyro meat; same for chicken.Can order via phone; not a long wait for your food.On street paid parkingReason for 2 less ⭐:2 tables, along with counter seating but not very comfortable, serves there purpose (eat and go or sit while you wait for your food).My gyro didnt have much cucumber sauce, tomatoes (2 pieces)& not a lot of lettuce. But on the good side it had plenty of gyro meat
I don’t write much reviews but my husband and I decided to go here today. The spot was so bad. I can’t even give it a rating. The AC wasn’t working and it was hot as hell. We ordered a gyro platter and omg it was disgusting. The rice was bland the meat wasn’t cooked and it just tasted nasty. It was a $16 platter and I’m telling you it was not worth to. We got a stomach virus after eating it. So please don’t ever waste your time thanks

2021-07-24I was working in the area and ddnt know what to eat...there are several resturants next to this spot but I wanted something healthy so I went here...OMG THE FOOD WAS GOOD....it was a little pricey but I paid like $15 for the combination plate...I was asked what protein I wanted so I got chicken and the shish lamb...I take what I said back about the price because I got SO MUCH FOOD!!! My plate was huge and the salad it came with was huge too!!!THAT ONE PLATE IS ENOUGH FOR TWO PPL...SO THE WORTH THE PRICE....ASK FOR THE BBQ SAUCE TOO! Way better than Chinese food...

2019-10-04Absolutely delicious! I only gave a 4 because I had to pay an extra fee for Tsiki sauce (white sauce) which is a staple with Slouvalki

2020-08-17Absolutely delicious! The chicken tasted like it was fresh off the grill. Such a large portion as well. The gyro bread was toasty and buttery lightness. I am used to get the gyros off the street carts but this was a classier experience. Owner was really nice. Service was quick. Would love to come here again when I am in the area.

They Hop to it to make sure you’re served quickly and are polite with lite convo while you wait. All food is prepared in plain view.Yum yum yum.

2021-07-04I do like this place as their food was good. The only reason I gave it 3 stars rather than the full 5 was that the tzatziki sauce is not a classic tzatziki sauce which is supposed to be made w/ yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, fresh herbs (usually mint or dill), garlic, lemon juice and salt. This looked more like ranch dressing w/ parmesan & it was very liquified. The chicken tasted burnt & not moist. I gave this place a chance due to the ratings and I dont mind trying this place again as the portion of the food is good in terms of what you are paying for. Though it could use some work. You cant be considered a Greek gyro place if you arent giving authentic Greek food/condiments.
