Gyro King Staten Island Reviews
If you're looking for food that actually taste good this is that place. Food with flavor gyros that aren't soggy. They even have vegan options. They never disappoint.
I Drive from Brooklyn to Staten Island just for there, Chicken & Lamb over Rice spicy with salad and sauce. It's the best. Customer service is great and your phone in order is ready to pick up, by time you get there.
Amazing food, and they load the plates up! Garlic fries are excellent along with a mixed platter over rice. Delivery drivers are super accommodating and friendly! Fast timing too.
Just drove up from Florida and the 1st place I stop for something delicious is here. Best gyros anywhere!!!
This place is awesome. The people are awesome and the food is awesome. So if you get here and order some food, you would be awesome too.
Delicious chicken on a pita. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was exceptional, and the restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated.
Great experience in this new location Beautiful interior and atmosphere everyone was super nice and welcoming the food was 10/10 amazing flavors & fresh products also recommended trying there desserts absolutely delicious !!! 100% will returning and will be recommending to friends,colleagues, family!!
The food was very good. The gyro portion was more than generous and delicious. Also had the chicken over rice which was very good and the portion size was amazing. I would highly recommend.
My go to place when I’m in need of chicken over rice! What I love about them is when I call and place my order for me and my family ,they immediately know who I am and remember me from my order (which is always the same lol ). They are always polite and welcoming when I enter the store and the food is always great!…definitely recommend getting the green sauce with your meal.. I have been coming here since they opened and will continue to be a customer…no complaints here
My first time eating here, I was impressed. I had the chicken and lamb combo gyro. It was tasty and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with how much meat was packed in the pita bread. The store is very small with only about three tables. For a small restaurant, the menu has four pages of dishes to pick from. The owners are very friendly and the service is fast.
I tried the lamb shish kebab and I did not enjoy it. It was very burnt and there was more lettuce than than actual meat. I do not think that is worth 14$ maybe 3$. I wish I knew I would have not ordered it.The customer service is nice but please do not order the shish kebab and get yourself they gyro instead. When asked how the shish kebab was done they mentioned it takes 25 minutes yet I received it faster and it was mostly Burnt cold meat with a lot of char not slow cooked at all. I would suggest lowering the temperature and changing the meat altogether. I would advise marinating the meat better and cooking it slower less heat and choose thicker pieces to make sure it is tender and well done. Another suggestion is adding water into the skewer oven to prevent burning the meat. The food is not authentic halal food. With patience and more passion the menu can be improved.
Food used to be great here , with great portions too but has changed alot with much smaller portion on meat and salad now, with prices going up also. Used to be great now only okay food now. And used to not charge for hot sauce but now charges for hot sauce... great place went sour
Great food, prices okay. Not much seating but it’s what you expect from a fast food style spot. Panner is solid flavor is strong, falafel is crispy, and rice is soft and even comes with peppers. Hummus is also good, taste fresh Update. Worst paner ever, super sweet dry and tiny, hummas was full of oil and make me want to throw up, only good thing was the bread and falafel bits. I was just hungry when I wrote the review and trying to justify spending almost 60 dollars on this food for two.
From gyro king on forest Ave . Wth! Worst gyro platter ever! Never had chopped up gyro meat before! And the white sauce is their tzatziki sauce, taste nothing like fresh tzatziki, taste like Mayo! Maybe have a nice side Greek salad with feta and real fresh tzatziki, not a mayonnaise sauce!
The food was I don’t even know what to call it. I mean many times I’ve seen that it was packed but for the overall experience, I was not impressed with it the taste of the chicken over rice, but customer service is great atmosphere is great as well, but I don’t know. What else to say on this….
I have been going here since they opened over a decade ago. Not the same quality, not the same restaurant. I'm very disappointed.
The meat is burnt bitter taste something wrong not consumable I am voiding this place for sure! Main chef need to make sure the food before go to customer!
I been a customer for a long time and was really disappointed with my last order seems they changed the cheft cause the food taste different so much cumin, vegetables chopped in huge pieces and their amazing white sauce was tasteless. Please hire the old chef back because I will not ordered anymore.
Lamb over rice was terrible. Hot sauce is their home made hot sauce that isn’t what you get out of the halal carts. Folks mustn’t order halal here often cause he pulled the meat out of the freezer. I give their halal food 1/10. The only thing good here is their fried whiting and chicken.
The guy that made my gyro used one glove and used his other hand to pull on his on beard. When questioned he became defensive saying he was only touching the aluminum foil and not my food. His partner jumped in stating that their beard was clean although he had on two gloves. I think this is very unsanitary and unprofessional!
