Gyro Plus

This little shack, randomly placed in a huge parking lot strip mall with the likes of Wendys, Pathmark, a deli, a bank, McDonalds, pizza spot, a diner etc really deserves more recongnition, maybe a spot light on it to help it stand out in the dark! With not too many halal options in College Point, this rare gyro spot was a great find!
1. Easy to get to, dont have to pull over on the side of a busy street, can park-​go in place your order-​wait in your car or grocery shop until your order is cooked and prepared fresh!
2. Decent to large portions, one mixed platter each for my wife and i and a lamb gyro roll on the side, is an entirely satisfying dinner that wont break the bank.
3. The white sauce and hot sauce and really, really good.
4. The meat doesn’t take rubbery, chewy, bland or make you question what you are eating. The lamb and chicken are seasoned well, flavored decently, and not over or under cooked
5. Depending on which guy is behind the counter, you may get a bit or more less of everything (rice, meat salad, sauce) so just be sure to state how you want your platter
6. Haven’t had a bad experience here in over a year, definately makes our top favorite three gyro spots in Queens

We stopped by Pathmark so many times but somehow we just never really noticed this place. Being a halal food enthusiast, we were excited when we found out this place serve halal food!
We got the chicken gyro platter ($ 6), which is basically chicken over rice. The food was definitely really good. The meat has lots of flavor. The white sauce is thick & creamy. The hot sauce is spicy. Now, that’s definitely one great combination! We love it!
If we love it so much, why give 4 stars? Now here’s the reason why. The portion is smaller than average halal. One of us (Ms M. S) wasn’t full. Well, other than that, we think the chicken over rice here is pretty good. Definitely worth trying.

What I think used to be an old Fotomat booth way back when, is now a place to get a quick halal fix. They pack the styrofoam tray with plenty of rice, salad and your choice of meat… all for a budget friendly 6 bucks or so. Pretty good food for a very good price… can’t go wrong with that combo.

I usually get the combination platter for my halal fix here. The ppl who work here aren’t the best at customer service but that doesn’t bother me, jass giime ma food and bye. The taste is okay and the portions depends on the worker lol. P. s They now have talapia fish to throw in the mix xD

I’m going to try to be nice and not get overly excited.
So on my day off, I wanted to pick something up and bring it back home to eat.
so i could just relax and eat in the comforts of my home.
I order a Gyro, No tomatoes. no problem… but as i’m watching him prepare my
gyro i see him putting cucumbers on it… i’ve honestly NEVER seen anyone put
cucumbers on gyros… anyone who knows me knows i hate 2 things… tomatoes
and cucumbers so i say… excuse me can i have no cucumbers.
And so it begins…
He goes… why don’t you just order a Hotdog…
I say… excuse me? i ordered a Gyro because i want i Gyro. is that a problem for you?
he says… you would never get away with this in Astoria…
i’m like what?! i’ve eaten plenty of gyros in Astoria and i’ve never had a problem.
He goes… well… this is just a pile of salty meat…
I start laughing… oh really? then cancel my order.
He proceeds to tell me, oh i already started it…
and i say… well i’m offended and i’m not paying you to offend me.
and he begins to curse at me
at which point i decide it’s not worth the trouble so i walk way and that was that…
