Opinions de Taste of Gyro Astoria
Incredible Greek food in a relaxing environment. The hummus, dolmas, lamb kabobs, all of it was so delicious.
Genuinely one of the best greek places for gyros. We’ve been to our fair share of greek restaurants in NY and Greece, yet their gyros are one of the best!!!!! Above that, the owners are the sweetest and always give us a warm welcome.
Beautiful place, spaceful tables, nice atmosphere. Great service, our server was very nice and sweet. The food was incredible. the portions are great, the seasoning and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. Great place, I recommend it :) and will be back for sure.
What a wonderful neighborhood experience. The perfect dinner for our last night in NYC. The food was absolutely delicious!
This place has giant portions, incredible quality, and very friendly staff. If you are craving Greek food this is the place for you! Great prices for the amount of food. Everything is clearly very fresh and homemade. True Greek food.
Went here first thing after picking up a rental car at LaGuardia. Amazing food and such a nice clean dining area. Had high chairs for the baby and very very friendly staff.
The food was amazing, the pork was seasoned beautifully with Rosemary, lemon and other great Greek flavors and was charred to perfection on the grill. The pita was soft sand warm. The service was excellent and everyone in the restaurant was very friendly and polite. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Family-owned very kind, excellent fresh food every time, good customer service. The lamb gyro is delicious!!!
It was an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the service was great - everyone was so very friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. It was the perfect end to a lovely Sunday. Highly recommend, and we're definitely looking forward to our next visit!
amazing food ! reminds me of greece quality is exquisite! im very picky with food and gyro but this place def did it for me ! service soo on point ! and very family warming! def coming back and ordering Thank you I enjoyed it. I do enjoyed it I just told her I was like I’m gonna order I got it. I got it. I got it. That’s it. It’s over. See you later.
Wow!! So so delicious. Enjoyed a nice dinner here with my partner. I got the souvlaki grill platter. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Will be back for sure!
The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend! Best souvlaki in NY by far!!!
The closest thing to actually having food in Greece. The dishes are authentic, full of flavor and almost impossible to stop eating. Please make your way here as soon as you can. Simply amazing.
Great food very tasty, the service was very good they arevery helpful answering all the questions atmosphere reminds me greece
Feels like home! We absolutely love coming here. The food is what brought us here -- it always, always hits -- but it's everything that goes with the delicious dishes that keep us coming back, literally on a weekly basis. The relaxed, cozy atmosphere and beyond friendly service is out of this world. We feel exceptionally special every time we go. Our daughter (who recently turned one) is always so well taken care of, it's beyond thoughtful what they for her when we dine here. The family that runs this establishment deserves all the 5-star reviews in the world. It's truly a peerless experience at Taste of Gyro, I can't recommend it enough and will probably be annoyed when I walk in one day and there aren't any tables available because they're so popular (but again, they unequivocally deserve it!)
Stopped in since our rental car was delayed, did NOT expect to have the BEST gyro I've had in my life!! The spicy gets dip was a delicious start to the meal, but the star was that lamb gyro. Perfectly seasoned, amazingly succulent and comes just right!! Honestly, I would fly back in to LGA from Toronto for that!!
It’s a cute family owned and operated place. Easily the best Greek restaurant in the neighborhood.
delicious, first time here and will definitely be coming back. My mother loved this and said best Greek food she’s had! The tzatziki is a MUST, it’s perfection 10/10 rating! It’s such a gem of a restaurant!!!
Best gyro in Astoria. That’s a big claim to make, but this place is GREAT. Consistently delicious food and the service is always really friendly. I always get the lamb gyro pita and the Greek salad and my gf gets the chicken. It’s delicious every time. This is the kind of good local spot you wanna see do well. I’m not exaggerating when I say these people have and maintain a high standard. Quality ingredients, great service. No drop off in quality from dine-in to delivery, that’s tough to find. You think you know a better gyro spot, come to this place and change your mind.
Had no idea when I walked in here I'd be trying probably the best lamb/beef gyro I've ever had in Queens. Incredible food.
One of the restaurants in NYC that EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. My wife if not a big eater but every time I get her that amazing pork gyro, she finishes the whole thing:)
The ambiance is super cute. The pictures framed with the window shutters is a very nice touch. The service was good. Very nice staff. The food was delicious. Tasty gem on a residential block. I will absolutely come back here again. Came back to post about the fries! Wow! The lamb gyro platter! Yum!
Absolute delicious food! Flavorful and tasty. Although it takes some time to get your food, when your plate is served it's all worthy, fresh and homemade food takes time. The plates are generously served. Some of them you can share.
Old School Super Greek Husband and Wife restaurant with homemade everything. I would prefer to keep it a secret but because they are off the beaten path I also want them to thrive so I will have to share the the gyro is the real thing and you won't be able to finish it. Their Melitzanosalata (eggplant dip) is the best I ever had and Panajotis makes a mean Frappe. Must visit. You will thank me later!
I have to say that out of all the Gyro spots I have eaten at, this place is phenomenal. I like that everything is taken care to the detail. I am still debating on which is better their food or their professionalism.
Great food, large portions, reasonable prices, and wonderful customer service. Owners are very kind and accommodating; would 100% recommend eating here. The Chicken Souvlaki Platter is my go to, but all the items on the menu taste great. UPDATE: Just wanted to reiterate how nice the owners are. I've gone multiple times since my initial review and am always met with a warm welcome. I even got some delicious Greek deserts on the house. If your in the area and looking for some delicious Greek food and wonderful customer services, be sure to stop by.
Highly recommend! - Fantastic food! Family oriented restaurant, clean, generous portions, reasonable price. One of the best Gyro's I've ever had.
Great vibes. Came for a birthday. Was amazed with the quality of the food. The salad, the gyro, the patates. Even the drinks are from Greece. Great experience
Went for a kids birthday celebration. The group ordered from all over the menu. No complaints. The staff was attentive. Will definitely go again.
Wow this place is amazing! We split the souvlaki platter with rice and it was the perfect meal for 2 people. Authentic and delicious. Would 100% recommend 👌
The food is fresh and tastes amazing! Sitting there I felt as if I was in a Greek Cafe. This place is a good one.
I recently visited Taste of Gyro in Astoria and had an exceptional experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that set the tone for the meal. Whether you’re a fan of traditional gyros or looking to try something new, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be returning soon to try more of their menu!
Just ordered two Gyros a falafel and a beef and lamb and both Gyros were delicious. Most definitely will return.
We had a lovely time there at a birthday party, food was delicious and the people were very friendly and attentive. You get a glimpse of true Greek hospitality.
We visited "The Taste of Gyros" today and were warmly welcomed by the very friendly and kind staff. We tried their amazing handmade biftekia and souvlakia – both were absolutely delicious! It was a truly tasty and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend everyone to go and give it a try. Lena & Erik
My friend and I came here last week to eat a gyro and it was delicious and one of the best I've had. We came back to eat one again until we got told about the special of the day and decided to try it out. It was phenomenal and a great dish, the stuffed peppers. We hope they make it again and can't wait to try other specials they may have.
Unironically the best feta cheese and best gyro I’ve ever had, 100% coming back, phenomenal experience the meat was fresh, the gyros were better than I could’ve ever imagined
The food was really delicious and I haven’t had anything this tasty in a very long time! I’ve loved it and would highly recommend it. Definitely would come again.
Perfect little neighborhood gyro shop. We are frequent customers. Very residential area, quiet and relaxed. The food is great, it always tastes very fresh. Large portions. Our usual waitress Violetta is attentive, friendly, and wonderful. We live a block away and they are good neighbors and a wonderful addition to the community. Only drawback when visiting is that parking can be a challenge.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! Fabulous authentic Greek food made from scratch. The appetizers both hot and cold are delicious especially the humus, soups and eggplant. The gyros speak for themselves. Even vegans can find something good. Great neighborhood spot.
This is by far the closest taste to the food in Greece! Amazing service, great atmosphere, food tastes delicious and they have Greek sodas which are excellent. People that work here are all Greek. I highly recommend this place. If you don’t have time to go to Greece this year, just come by this place.
Everything had incredible taste! Almost identical to gyro spots in Greece! Well seasoned food, very good size portions and good prices! All around I’d recommend it anyone!
I found this amazing place and truly felt like I was eating homemade food. Everything was fresh, and it’s definitely worth a visit. It was a wonderful experience, and the service made me feel right at home with such helpfulness and great energy. It’s been years since I’ve felt this way. Thank you for the experience in NY(Astoria).
Cute Greek Restaurant tucked away on a residential Street in Astoria! Food is good. We had a chicken souvlaki pita and Pork Gyro Platter. The pork was lean and flavorful, the chicken was juicy and good as well. French fries seasoned with paprika. Moderately new place, as I remember this place being some type of Social club.
Looked up best Greek food in Astoria on the Google browser and came across this gem. Another tasty and family owned Greek restaurant in Astoria! Totally recommend it!!! We got the Lamb Kebab platter, lamb gyro, Greek salad, grape leaves, and of course lots of tzatziki sauce. They also have Greek soda! We will be back!
We looked up a gyro place when in Astoria and we were pleased to have found this cute spot. Food was fresh and tasty. We ordered the gyro and feta dip. Both excellent!
Been here a couple times after having some friends over from college. Every person that’s come here has agreed that this is some of the most delicious food they’ve ever had. I hope this place gets more popular, and as a Greek that lives in the area, I wish I had found out about it sooner!
A hidden gem that n Astoria. This is a small tavern where you can enjoy good Greek food, prepare with Meraki and love. Whatever you order will be good. Go simple. Good place to catch up with a friend on a Sunday afternoon.
We had such a great experience at Taste of Gyro - my son has allergies that can made restaurants challenging. The kitchen and staff went out of their way to make sure his dinner was okay for him to eat, and were so kind and generous - the food was absolutely delicious. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
We ordered lunch for four, two platters and two appetizers and we were all full after it. The chicken souvlaki platter was very fresh, juicy and crispy, and included pita, lemon potatoes and salad. The spicy feta dip was unique and tasted great, I recommend it for feta lovers. If there’s one thing I would ask to be added to the menu, it would be some vegetarian main hot platter option or replacement. That being said, The dips and lemon potatoes made up for it. The service is great and it’s a sweet family run business. Made me feel like I was back in Greece. Eucharisto!
Really delicious gyro, best we have had in a while. Fresh and packed with meat, and crunchy delicious fries which is rare! Soup was also delicious. Looking forward to trying more items. Glad it’s in the neighborhood.
Love this spot- brought my parents who were visiting from out of town. Even in January they still find a way to find the most ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and served. Family owned and operated - nothing more iconically Astorian :)
Had an excellent gyro tonight at Taste of Gyro in Astoria. The meat was perfectly seasoned and sliced, the pita was warm and soft, and everything was fresh. Simple, honest food done right. Portions were generous and the flavors really hit the spot. This is exactly what a gyro should be. Even though they were busy at the place with take out orders they were working hard to please everyone. Great customer service! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it if you’re in the area.
I visited with a group for lunch, and the experience was exceptional. Every dish was outstanding, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The food was truly authentic, capturing the rich flavors of traditional Greek cuisine. In addition, the staff were warm and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience.
This. This is the place you want to go to for gyro. Amazing. Double amazing and the platter was piled so high with meat that despite being a 240 lb man that hadn't eaten all day, I could not finish it. And the husband and wife team that run it? Unbelievably hospitable and kind. I will be taking my wife down for dinner (and we live up in Hudson, NY) because it was that good. Oh, and they make an amazing baklava too!
One of, if not the best Gyro's I've had. Everything is fresh, well seasoned, and authentic. The service is laid back but very kind and attentive. The hummus is made to order and I would wholeheartedly recommend it. You can also get some greek sodas and lemonades that are imported by the owner.
I’ve been to Taste of Gyro 4 or 5 times and the food is always so delicious. Portions are large, prices are reasonable, and the family that runs it is so very nice. It has a cozy atmosphere inside, kind of like a Greek cafe. Greek music is always playing, and most of the time you’ll hear Greek spoken by the patrons. That just adds to the charm of this place! I highly recommend it.
Their Gyro is so authentic, it’s honestly better than what I’ve ever had in Greece (which is a lot). Even the service is authentic Greek (a little slow-paced, lol). I only write reviews when I love a place and this fits the bill. Quiet little shop run by mom and pop, and so delicious. Fresh RED juicy tomatoes and fantastic homemade tsaziki sauce. Crispy French fries on top give it away as truly authentic. Better than the hectic chaos of any place near Ditmars or Steinway. Make the trip: you won’t be disappointed.
I came today to pick up my order AND WOW delicious gyros :) tomato tasted as real tomato and looked fresh. It was pour raining and they gave me a plastic bag (love that they use paper bag) for my food and a cardboard to use as umbrella 😅😊. This is definitely not going to be the only time, I might even be back for my bday. Loved the place and I hope it continues as it grows with the same attitude 🩷
If you’re looking for authentic Greek food that warms both your heart and your stomach, look no further than Taste of Gyro. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. The space may be small, but the flavors are larger than life. The classic gyros platter and the porkchops are absolutely the best I’ve ever had juicy, perfectly seasoned. Every bite is bursting with flavor, and the tzatziki sauce is so fresh and creamy it deserves its own spotlight. The sides, from the tomatoes and feta salads to the golden fries, round everything out beautifully. What really makes this place special is the care and love in every dish. You can taste the authenticity, the passion, and the dedication to quality. It’s the kind of food that makes you slow down and savor, because you don’t want the meal to end. Taste of Gyro is truly a hidden gem, and once you eat here, you’ll keep coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone who wants the best Greek food around!
Been here a few times and always had a great experience. The food tastes amazing, especially the platters, the portions are more than fair for the price, and the owners are very friendly. I personally love the chicken souvlaki and sweet potato fries, they are both fantastic. The soups are also a highlight, the few I've tried have always been great. Overall, you really can't go wrong with any order, its all great! Highly recommend if you want fantastic authentic Greek food.
Peter and Anita are amazing cooks and hosts to their restaurant. We had the most amazing time there, and made us feel like home. We loved meeting you and will come back to see you again for sure 😄 The food is excellent, everything is fresh and if you're looking for the most tasty and quality Greek food, then it's THE place to go! ✨
I had the pleasure of dining at Taste of Gyro recently, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The authenticity of the Greek cuisine here is unmatched. We ordered the gyro and the chicken souvlaki platter, both of which were succulent and full of flavor. The zucchini and eggplant fries were a crispy, delicious surprise, and the hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The grape leaves were another highlight, showcasing the care and authenticity put into each dish. The owner of Taste of Gyro made our visit even more special. It's evident that this is a passion-driven, family-friendly local business, and their hospitality shines through. They even treated us to complimentary feta fries, which were a delightful addition to our meal. Overall, I am thrilled to support this new local gem. The combination of delicious, authentic Greek food, warm hospitality, and a family-friendly atmosphere makes Taste of Gyro a must-visit. I can't wait to return and indulge in their culinary delights once again.
