Great portions, good food and good service 👍
I really want to order a Lamb Gryo well done, right now but, the 3x I ordered the gyro they didn’t do what I asked. I going to give them one more shot before I stop ordering from them.
The orders were filled promptly, the food was very good the prices are a little high but not too bad! I would recommend it but I wish their prices would come down about a dollar off each price food was good though I would go back!
I love this establishment. The soups are always great. Gyros are excellent. We go there at least once a month. Check it out
The pitas are perfect, the meat is good, the veggies are fresh. Great gyro place.
Always great food. Very consistent! Soup is always good. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Tomatoes are awesome and desserts are great as well.
Sent me to the toilet. That pretty much says it all. It didnt taste bad but since its all I ate today I am certain its the problem.Fyi if you are a mask person this is not the place for you no one was wearing one.
Excellent food and unbeatable prices. Fresh and large portions for what you pay, so its a very good value. Quick, friendly service.Restaurant is small but comfortable.Highly recommended especially is the chicken souvlaki, but all the gyro dishes are good too and their fries are amazing.
I was excited to see a gyro restaurant in the area. I ordered a lamb gyro. It was was exactly the opposite to my expectations. The lamb meat was burnt to the point wear it tasted like charred grit. I wont recommend this place!!! The cashier was very polite I must say. Cooks can either make or break a restaurant!
The service was outstanding the food amazing sorry forgot to take some pictures definitely will go back for the food and the service
Amazing! I dont think there are any other words but that. Amazing food, amazing staff and amazing food. Love this place, you wont go wrong with anything on the menu!
Best Greek food on Long Island period.
Love this place. Food is so fresh and delicious. We sat inside since it was only one other table. Inside has about 4 booths. Outside has one table. We ordered Chicken Kebob platter from the lunch menu.
Delicious food always consistent
The best great food around
This is my ,favorite Go-To place for chicken gyros!Always very tasty, plentiful, and a great price.Definitely a must try!
Very good the food is fresh and the service is excellent. The owner is always present and takes personal interest in your service.!!!
Happy! So tired, so hungry, then I remembered this place and called to see if they delivered to my town, and Bingo yes. Delivery on time and pleasant. So much thanks to the staff for making my entire experience a pleasant one, too many bad ones out there. Delicious hot food, Greek salad, grilled warm pita, chicken slouvaki, spinach pie, yogurt sauce and lemon potatoes. A lovely combination of flavors, textures and nutrition!!I went to sleep restfully with a warm, full and healthy belly. Thank You.
I love Greek food . Its always my choice of takeout in my family . Lol. In all the years of trying so many different places. I think your restaurant is by far the best I have ever had. Definitely ordering from u once or 2x maybe 3x a week. Love love love😍😍😍😍😍
Food was good and tastey.
Very authentic and delicious food!! And the only reason I gave it four stars is because it was excellent but I do not really know other Greek places and foods but this was unbelievable
Horrible manners on the phone . For starters I call this place for the first time and I get the “ what do you need “ question as if I’m bothering the guy in the phone and then I order a salad with chicken and he comes back with “that’s all ?” And proceeds to tell me the limit for delivery is $30 for my area . I was willing to give this place a shot after reading their good reviews but never again!
The food always arrives cold and if you call when your order isn’t right they’ll tell you more then once they’ll sent the correction, but they don’t.Oh and their phone is currently ‘broken’ so you can’t get your money back either. But it might save you from the anger of hearing them laughing in the background knowing they messed up your order.
I have been eating at Abes pitaria for its seems like decades,and its sub par at best, because I didnt know the Gyro Palace existed. I am so glad I tried it today because this is my new go-to Greek food. Everything we got from there was delicious and the people working there were also very nice..Update.! Now a year later and this place is just as good as the first time I tried it.
Passed this place so many times...finally went in, and so glad we did. Gyros are fantastic- meat is seasoned well, and the pita is the perfect thickness. Also, GET THE SPINACH PIE! It is delicious! Will definitely be back.
I want to give this place 5 Stars, but I cant because: 1. In the Winter every time someone opens the front door, the entire Restaurant becomes cold and food become cold very quick . 2. The French Fries suck, please make better Fries! The Service is great, the Gyro tastes good, the Lemon Soup, the Greek Salad all good. Fix the front door and get new French Fries please!
Best pita, best tahini, best falafel around!
We moved here from queens and were use to really good Greek food and have had a really hard time finding a good place. This place was it. We love the food, nice little place if you want to sit in, great for take out and delivery. Highly recommend
Awesome awesome cant stop talking about it. Best spilt pea soup Ive had other than my own. The palace Israel salad awesome. Quick and fast service. First time there from out of town.
Normally GREAT however last two times I went to get take out something was missing from my order and when I called back, its like they were too busy to care. Dont get me wrong, the food is GREAT but sometimes theyre too busy for their own good and theyre not afraid to let you know that too. Plus, it AINT cheap.
I went to this Greek restaurant and ordered a bacon cheese with sweet potateo fries. It was AMAZING! Better than some of the burger joints and diners around here. I cant wait to go back and try their gyros. Service was a 5 out of 5 as well
I have been to many many gyro spots, this is by far my favorite. I consider myself picky and know what i like. This place hands down has the best Tzatziki sauce on the planet! correct temperature, thickness, amount. The chicken is cooked to perfection and never ever has tendons, the salad components are fresh, crunchy and meticulously proportioned to perfection, the pita is never burned on the edges inedible they serve coke products, which in my opinion is old school, a better, more costly upgrade that many choose not to go with! Within just a couple visits, i was recognized by the staff and that made me feel even better about my experiences there.
I really like the food here. I always get a Greek salad with gyro meat. Its so good!...Sorry had to change my stars bc I went today and My tomatoes were bad, along with my pepper and the olives were soft. It just was not good today. So disappoined🙄
Gyro Palace is my only go to Greek food restaurant in the area. The staff is always welcoming and the food is wonderful. The owner is who is always there, walks through to make sure everyone is happy with their food.Best tsaziki sauce around.
I eat there about five times a week the Chicken gyro on whole wheat pita with a twist of lemon is magnificent! The staff is friendly and professional if I cal in my order it is ready for pick up promptly their homemade custard is superb.
Decent food, typical greek place, nothing fancy. my 10 year old daughter loves this place for some reason. last time i went the chicken souvlaki was under cooked and they graciously gave me a new dish. big salads on plates that are too small...youll see what i mean when you get one
I absolutely love falafel. I have been addicted for decades. This is by far THE worst falafel Ive ever had. The outside was super over done and the middle pasty and under-cooked. My husband got the platter with Rice and his rice was gross; slick and definitely not yellow (as the waitress assured us). The manager (or whom I imagine is the manager) was a horribly rude man who tried to cover his behavior with a fake smile when we went to pay. The prices suck for the quality of food.The food truck on Nassau Road in Roosevelt is 10,000 times better... but sadly was closed. Save your gas folks. This isnt worth the ride.
Lived 5 minutes away for over 30 years... My only complaint is not coming here sooner. Ive been twice in one week. I also took my husband with me my second visit and he loved it also.
Fast Service, delicious food!!
This was the 1st time hereAnd the service was GreatI dont know if the guy at the frt was the owner...which I think..he was...so...so..nice..He brought the food out..2 me..Wht service..The food looks great..Have not taste it yet..But iam pretty sure its .Good..Kudos....2....them...
Food was really yummy and the staff was friendly. Win win.
The best greek food on the south shore served by the friendliest staff. Everything is fresh and homemade just like my greek grandmother used to make. We call ahead for takeout often but you can eat in, there are a few tables.
Excellent! Fast friendly service, clean establishment. Parking is is available but limited parking on side street if needed. I recommend 👌 this place to others 👌 👍
If I could give this place more stars I would. The owner is culinary trained. He puts all his love and care into everything he makes. It is a small quaint Greek restaurant. This is the type of place you should go out of your way to visit.
Was looking for a good quick bite and came across this place in my travels. It wont dissapoint. I ordered a gyro with salad, I requested no pita. The meat was soft and tasty. Definetly hit the spot.
If you are going for lunch/dinner The chicken or lamb souvlaki dinners are great and they also have pork ,beef , and shrimp souvlaki but I just stick to the chicken or lamb , The lentil soup is amazing and if you get the dinner it comes with soup and a side dish . One of the best restaurants . The owner is so nice
Good food nice atmosphere and very nice people gyro was excellent would go back to try other menu items 👍👍
Food is great! They catering service was perfect, we absolutely loved and enjoyed our celebration... awesome service.
Great Greek food and portions. Good prices and great service. Once they forgot a gyro on a delivery. The manager not only sent another one but also sent FREE deserts for the inconvenience. Very good customer service
This is my favorite restaurant on Long island. Great food , fast Service and the owner is very nice
First time coming here. I had a gyro and fries. I was very impressed with how big the gyro was and the fries were amazing. A must go to if your in Merrick
Food is always good. Service was fine. Place was busy but wait for food was short. Always nice whether you eat in or take out.
I love George 😘 His Staff and food are the best feelings like a family place for dinner or lunch food delicious so good omg🥂
Dont let the looks of the place fool you Food was fresh and delicious. Waitress was attentive. Will definitely be going back
Great Mediterranean Greek home cooking. Prices are very reasonable, portions are ample and delicious. Clean and prompt courteous service.
This is the go-to place for a good gyro, nice greek salads too!
Great gyros and burgers
Food is good but I called at 8:30 pm to place an order for pick up and was told the kitchen was closed. Why is the kitchen closed before closing hours? Do the owners expect customers to only buy beverages? Very disappointed.
Good neighborhood gyro place. If you want a sit down dinner with wine or beer or cocktails then this is not the place. If you want good food that is quick and well prepared this is a place to go.
4 years of eating here. Great service and food. Good prices. Friendly staff. Great gyros !!
Best Greek restaurant around for dine in or take out. Been going for years and years and its still amazing
We love this place! Great food and staff. The hummus is delicious!! Food is ready fast for eat in or take out.
The food was excellent, atmosphere is welcoming, and the owner is very personable. Great place to eat.
Best greek food on long island waitresses always efficient and friendly
I bought 3 gyros one for my wife my son and one for me...it was delicious...thanks.
Friendly neighborhood joint. Contemporary Greek pop blaring lends to relaxed atmosphere. Staff lively & knows the regulars.The food - average gyro dinner. Lemony chicken rice soup with hearty shredded chicken, diced carrots. Bursted Rice grains; this soup version is thinner than some but favorful. Warm chewy pita accompany mild yogurt sauce with cukes on the bottom. Gyro meat is favorful if a bit over salted. Could of used a sprinkle of onion slices to help offset the salt. Lemony potato wedges had a healthy dose of paprika but were a tad undercooked. Fresh HOT coffee.Would return to try the chicken dinner.
Had take out they were smart put hole in French fries dish an they didnt get soggy.they were crisps and hot when i got home.. best gyros and chicken souvlaki..yum
Good stuff. Great gyros and friendly people behind the counter. We did takeout. Dont let them get cold.
Delirious food and very friendly stuff. Highly recommend.
Always fresh and delish. I love the chicken gyro over the Greek salad or chicken gyro platter
A grest local place. Great job from start to finish, but it can be cold in there in the winter you eat with your coat on. Portions are large and generous.
Best gyros in town. Great fast and friendly service and the owner is such a great guy.
Great menu and always fresh food. The staff is so friendly and we always leave stuffed.
Had a awesome traditional gyro here, so so good.
Delicious food. Wait time is short. You can pay with cash or debit/credit card. It has a own parking lot.
Best Gyros ever!!! All of their food is great!!Can never go wrong. Friendly staff and owner.
Great food. Hard to get to, but I will definitely go back.
Horrible experience food was horrible manager was rude and pretended he didnt speak with us about the wrong order after saying he would redeliver in 40 mins. After 1 1/2 hours called back and suddenly had dementia and didnt remember anything!
Nice place. Great food!
Great food and excellent service as usual!
Great Greek food option for the basics ... gyro , souvlaki, fries and tzaztiki. Nice staff and fresh food. Consistently good!
Nasty Manager … First he tells me his rice is Gluten Free ! I question the manager about the ingredients in the rice...Than he tells me there is Pasta in the rice (Orzo which is clearly not gluten free). Nasty nasty manager
Food is excellent. The best chili I ever had!!
Got food poisoning from them last week. The board of health was notified!🤮

Review №1
2022-06-29Been going here since I moved from Brooklyn in 2017. If you have ever had greek food from bay ridge or Astoria, this place is on par with anything coming out of those Greek neighborhoods. It’s arguably the best Greek place on the south shore and there are a ton of them (not counting fancy sit down green restaurants like santorini). I prefer them over anything in my town and I’m two towns away, with many Greek options much closer. The chicken gyro is especially excellent. I get from this place probably once every 2 weeks, and I’ve never had anything other than excellent food from this restaurant. I felt compelled to finally review them after seeing the last review they got which seemed ridiculous and not a fair review of this restaurant.

2022-06-17Moving from Queens, I was worried about finding a really good Greek spot. I stopped looking after I found Gyro Palace.Excellent food
Review №3
2022-06-14Wow this supposedly be a Greek place for gyros but wow this is the worst food ever had I ordered fried calamaris and taste like very old oil I think they never change the oil to fry the food Do Not waste your money, even those food trucks have better gyros and cheaper. Obviously Not recommended it.

2022-04-11Me and my entire family have had the same experience with the rude staff and manager. This guy talks over the phone like a jerkoff. Everyone working there is so nasty and has the worst attitudes
Review №9
2019-08-20Ordered the gyro melt, did not come as expected. It was just lamb meat and cheese on pita. From the website, it looked like it would include tomatoes and cucumbers. The spinach pie had no or very little feta cheese. Putting two stars because although it was ok, there are better places nearby with comparable prices. Staff was nice.

2021-10-14I cannot say enough great things about the food here. I pretty much have a standard order now - which they know as soon as I walk in. In several months I have yet to have a bad meal, food is fresh and bursting with taste. Pricing is reasonable, service is excellentYou deserve to go here - warning it will spoil toward other places
