Gyro Express Souvlaki Restaurant

The place just got a facelift. The gyro and pita are excellent. Souvlaki is good as well. My one major gripe is their tzatziki that is so mild that it is unappetizing. 3 doors down is Kesso Foods, which specializes in greek yogurt (and yes tzatziki; the best in fact). If they were to source their tzatziki from Kesso, it would be 4.5 Stars.

The best Greek Souvlaki in New York. The most foodgasmic meal I’ve had in a really long time! We had Tzatziki with warm pita which was crack. The food knocked us all off our feet. I know it’s a simple meal but execution was exceptional.

I eat from this establishment about 2 or 3 times a week because it’s right next to my work and I usually stop their before my shift I been coming here for years the food is above average very large portions at decent prices I usually get the chicken greek salad it comes with a whole pita for $ 10.50 which is a bargain for the size of salad I also order it with lamb gyro on top which is truly amazing but try not to get it that much because the gyro meat isn’t that waist friendly this is not a place to go for ambience but to get some greek comfort food to go this is the best in this part of astoria

The souvlaki sandwich was pretty good. The face needs a makeover but the food is ok. It seems family owned this place can become a 5 star place with just a face lift. The authenticity of Greek food is there.

This is a mediocre-​at-​best neighborhood gyro place that’s incredibly rundown and filthy. It’s been around for years and I used to order gyro platters often from here, but stopped for a long time.
Recently, I ordered from here and noticed that they have a «C» rating from the health department. For those who don’t know, any establishment that doesn’t get an A the first time around gets a second chance to get reviewed at a later date. Then, whatever grade they get on the second time is the final score. Two shots and still a C (aka one step above failing)? Once you walk in the place, you can begin to understand why.
The food handling and cooking equipment storage is highly questionable. Overall, the place just looks dirty.
In terms of food, the gyro platters are $ 11 and not outstanding. You get a good amount of meat over yellow rice, a salad, and some pita bread. I’d suggest going elsewhere for meal unless you’re literally starving.

This place is actually pretty close to my house. I went here after a softball practice with one of my friends. Went in, sat on one of their stools and ordered a gyro sandwich. My friend orders a cheese burger. The food was average, I felt like the gyro meat was waay too dry. Being curious about the price, I asked the girl behind the counter about the lamb over rice. She told me it was 11 dollars. I much rather drive to the city and pick up the famous 53^rd and 6^th halal guys than to conveniently order from them. And like Lea wrote, the restaurant is a little run down. The food is average at most, the only thing I find worth it to come back for their average over priced food is the attractive girl behind the counter. I’ve definitely experienced better before. ²⁄₅

We order from here when were really hungry and need food fast. The souvlaki’s are okay and their burgers are mediocre but they do the job. Definitely not an eat-​in kind of place. They have tables and stools but the place is pretty run down.
