    Pork Gyro Sandwich
    Jackie C.

    Don't forget the little Italy area in the BX for a taste of Europe!! Hubby and I were craving gyros, our go to spot is BZ grill in Astoria (solid place) but that changed (no need to pay tolls!). We decided to visit this Greek restaurant, such a cozy yet lively area. Full of bakeries, pastry shops, restaurants, etc. Walked in, was greeted by a friendly hostess. We had seen the pork gyro pictures beforehand which looked tasty, so we ordered that. The only slight downside is that the sandwich doesn't come with fries, it's about $7/8 for it as a side alone. Food was ready in 15 mins. This is still perfect to me because of how much meat they put in it. So delicious! We quickly stopped around the corner to an Italian bakery (look at my other review) for fresh bread and crumb cake. If craving a gyro in the BX area, don't miss this place.

    Calamari

    Easily one of my favorite places to eat in Little Italy. I've been coming to Avenue Gyro for almost 3 years and I recently started ordering their takeout on DoorDash. I was very pleased to see that their dishes hold up in delivery service as well. They're really that good! Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and amazing taste. They really are always consistent. You can't go wrong with this place! My go to is definitely the falafel. I've had it as an appetizer, platter and gyro. My partner alternates between these menu items but does the lamb and the chicken option instead. I always take a nibble of his food lol. The sauces that come with the Lamb Gyro platter and Falafel platter differ so I like trying new combinations. We also make sure to order rice with one platter and fries with another so we can share. Their appetizers such as the calamari and feta fries are also extremely tasty. While I stick to the same thing usually, I've also tried their burger when a family member ordered it so I can attest to their "non-Mediterranean" options as well. I have an occasional beer here and there but my go to is the cherry juice. In terms of the ambiance, right on the corner of Arthur avenue so not easy to miss. Super easy going and breezy atmosphere. Suitable for solo meals, dates, small groups or even large parties! (I've seen them really spruce it up for graduation parties) In the summer they open their beautiful doors to let the air in and it's just such a nice vibe. All the years I've been coming here the staff has been the same so I think that speaks volumes to the culture- it's always a good sign when people stick around! When I'm in Little Italy this is a no brainer every time. If you haven't had this yet please do yourself a favor and pop in.

    Lamb Gyro Sandwich Lunch Special

    Beautifully appointed restaurant with a great lunch special. Just $16 for a lamb gyro with French fries. And the gyro is delicious!

    Was dying for a good gyro and wasn't disappointed! Nice place, fast friendly service! Delicious lamb gyro with fried onions as requested , perfectly cooked, dressed, and wrapped! Nice way to end a perfect summer evening! Put this spot on your list when you're in Bronx Little Italy! I'll be back!

    Falafel Sandwich
    Dimpie S.

    Ordered takeout from this place after reading the reviews. The falafel sandwich was good! Falafel was fresh, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It didn't fall apart and the sandwich was well filled. Even the lettuce tasted fresh and not frozen. I just wish they put the tzatziki and hot sauce. This is the only sandwich where they don't add additional sauce and not sure if it's because they are vegetarian. The fries were 3/5 stars. Not sure if they were soggy due to delivery but the feta didn't have much taste and they could've added some Mediterranean spices to the fries. Also for $8 it's a little overpriced. The service was quick since the delivery was within 1 hour of ordering. Compared to other places, it seemed healthier and I could see myself ordering either the sandwich or platter again. However, they should include hot sauce and a white sauce like other places even if the meal is vegetarian.

    I came here for lunch on a beautiful afternoon and enjoyed a Lamb Gyro with my friend. we shared a hummus spread also. The place was clean and inviting. The service was great and attentive and most importantly the food was delicious. There aren't many good gyro spots on Arthur Avenue, or the even the entire Bronx so I am glad I found this Gem.

    Pork Gyro Platter
    Julisa H.

    Food was a large portion with good flavors. I got the pork gyro I was surprised they didn't have lamb. My first time not seeing lamb on the menu for gyros. Service was nice. I am the only one in the restaurant right now so I can't complain about that. Menu is limited but not restricting if you want a variety. I say come and try it out I don't feel disappointed.

    I ate here on a cold and rainy day and the food was just what I needed! There were 3 of us and we ordered 1 chicken gyro, 1 pork gyro and the half chicken. Wow! The portion sizes of the gyros alone is incredible, they are very big. The pork was tender which I enjoyed. The baked chicken was a good size and the chicken was cooked perfect. I didn't try the chicken gyro but it looked great. Overall, would recommend.

    Was really good! The platters will definitely leave you with leftovers! Great service. Clean n cute inside

    From start to finish, this restaurant did an incredible job of preparing the food, making us feel…read moreincredibly comfortable, and also giving us a sense of the Albanian culture to the extent that we could establish that over in the Bronx. Our group of six ended up having a little bit of everything from sausage dip and pepper dip to Albanian dumplings to the Mix Grill Platter, and everything that we ordered was delicious. I don't think that we were able to finish everything, and we ended up taking some stuff home. However, it truly felt authentic and It felt real. We also paired that with some Albanian wine, which was delicious as well. it was a very homey location for people to come try some new food and have a hilarious and great time. I'd also be remiss if I don't call out that the bread that they gave was delicious, so light, so airy and that we were begging for more after the first round. They pair so well with the dips that we got and trust that I'll be back for more of that alongside the entire menu.

    Cka Ka Qëllu is an Albanian restaurant by Arthur Ave in the Bronx, previously well-known as Bronx's…read moreLittle Italy but in recent years with a more prominent Albanian community. It was my first Albanian dining experience - the restaurant seemed traditionally set up with Albanian decor and (what I'd imagine) music. It was quite easy to get a table for evening dinner though they do take reservations. They have a large dining room in back with numerous tables and decor hung up. The staff were warm, welcoming and quite attentive throughout the meal and helpful for recommendations. The menu offers nice descriptions of dishes and of cultural significance for certain ones as well. I started off with a yogurt dish and bread - the bread seemed fresh out of the oven in being hot and steamy when cracked, revealing a soft interior. The yogurt was light and refreshing and helped balance spices in the mains. For starter I got the Fli- a multilayered pancake slice with layers of crepe that was primarily buttery. It didn't have a strong taste but went nice with yogurt. For the main I got the skenderberg - veal filet mignon stuffed with cheese, a crispy potato exterior wrap and covered in cream paired with potatoes and sliced peppers. This dish was excellent and very filling with strong flavors - tender, juicy meat, creamy hot cheese and cooler vegetables to balance the hot temperature and strong flavors. I was so full I deferred dessert though they have a few options. Overall a great meal with a large menu and great dining experience, I would definitely return! They have a location in Manhattan I haven't checked out, but per the staff that location is basically identical in menu but more expensive.

    This place was really good and I highly recommend coming here for some well cooked flavorful food…read more The staff are nice and super accommodating. I wanted a mango pineapple kale spinach smoothie and they were able to do just that. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and got my boyfriend a wrap as well. We both loved it. Very delicious and the chicken is so flavorful. Def a must try if you are in the area.

    My person rating is two stars. My husband brought home some take out from Tasty Choice. We used to…read moreorder from here regularly. I can tell you that will never happen again because they seem to short patrons. We all ordered rice platters and everyone got decent-sized portions. My lamb kofta was abysmal. They gave me three small, dry ass pieces. Everyone else's platters were full of proteins. If they ran out of kofta they should have given something else or let my husband know. My daughter had a full piece of salmon filet, my husband received lamb and chicken mixed grill and it covered his rice portion, and my son had a full serving of lamb kebab. What they served for my order was obviously missing meat. They don't even give the actual "white" sauce - it's like a low-budget ranch and the hot sauce is probably bottled Red Hot brand. The rice was decent and there was a lot of red onion, cole slaw and tomato salad - much more than there was meat. If they're sending food to the same home, they should do a better job of ensuring that the meals are comparable. This was a terrible thing to come home to, after a long day working with patients. Never again.
