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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

In the sea of Italian places on Arthur ave is this greek spot. It is pretty authentic which I love. I went with the pork gyro platter and it was amazing. The pork is roasted slowly on the spit and comes out perfect. The platter comes with three dips but I am not a fan of taramosalata (fish roe dip). The others were good. I also loved the greek salad and it was as authentic as you can get. I would recommend and come back. read more

This place is so good! At first I was confused why they didn't have lamb but the waitress quickly explained the history of mediterranean food. The service was excellent and the food had so much flavor and The serving sizes are huge! I can see this place being the ruin of my belt Buckle. The chicken and veggies were fresh! The falafel was not overly fried at all! it was just right and absolutely delicious. Another thing, the wrapping they use to wrap the gyros is amazing. Usually it's a balancing act between me taking a bite and everything falling out of the Pita. I was apprehensive at first because the place was empty. I thought I got set up by my fiancé! But now, people are just sleeping on this authentic tasty spot. People do yourself a favor and pick yourself up a gyro. read more

Beautiful looking corner restaurant. Staff is very friendly and the place looks like it can get super busy. I stopped in a bit late, close to closing for a pick up order. They still had a few tables occupied and it looked very clean. I ordered a chicken gyro with fries. The chicken was so flavorful. Deliciously seasoned with a tasty tzatziki sauce, fresh tomato, lettuce and onion. The gyro was filled to maximum capacity. It could get super messy, luckily they packed me a fork to help out. The fries were ok, nice and hot, but they were crispy coated. Not my favorite, but that's just my preference. Super delicious food, great atmosphere. Looks like a phenomenal date spot. I'd come back here often. read more

Çka Ka Qëllu has been on my radar for a while now. I first heard about it several years ago when…read morethey first opened in the Arthur Ave neighborhood - standing out as a traditional Albanian restaurant amongst the sea of Italian eateries. Fast forward to the present day, and they have gained considerable attention. The restaurant has made the NYT's Top 100 Restaurants in NYC list for the past 4 years, they have expanded to two (soon three) other locations, and is a favorite among the social media and celeb crowd (this is allegedly one of Dua Lipa's favorite restaurants in the city). That being said, we thought it would be a great spot to celebrate a family member's birthday - so I booked a table and off we went. Çka Ka Qëllu is located on Hughes adjacent to the back entrance of the Arthur Ave Retail Market. The restaurant is gorgeous - it's pretty spacious with three main dining rooms. The decor is a showstopper in itself - the exposed stone walls coupled with the abundance of artwork and old world accents placed throughout the dining area make this seem more like a museum than a restaurant. The ethnic music that is piped throughout the restaurant completes the feel. I honestly couldn't stop looking around. There menu is pretty expansive - most of the items I had not heard of before, but it's also approachable as they spell it out for you in the description what each dish is. We were a party of seven, so to make things easy we aligned to share everything. My brother and I decided to take lead and order items from each section. We decided to start with the ajvar, sausage dip, and tarator. These were all delicious; essentially dips, they all had great flavor and were paired with hot crusty bread mmmm. We then got a bunch of other dishes: leçenik, burek, fili, fasule with smoked meat, mantia, mazë e zier, and a shop salad. As with the dips, everything here was delicious. It's hard to pick the standouts because everything was so good - honest food, full of flavor and depth. Okay you twisted my arm - if I had to choose, my favorites were the burek and the mazë e zier. I love a good burek, and this one was top drawer. The pull on the mazë e zier was out of this world, yet it was easy to maneuver with great flavor. We ended the meal with one of their grilled dishes - namely the mixed meat combo. We chose five meats and they paired them with some vegetables and potato. At risk of sounding like a broken record - this was delicious as well. Service was awesome - everyone was welcoming and the food came out at a good pace. Overall, Çka Ka Qëllu is an absolute yes - the food, the decor, and the service were all aces. The hype is real and they deserve all the accolades they have received. Goes without saying, but I would definitely return for another meal - take me back now!

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.

I used to love this truck. I remember when it first landed in the Bronx. I couldn't even write a…read morereview because it wasn't even on the Yelp page. Only other location trucks. When I first tried the food I was very impressed. The flavors were hitting, and that warm cup of broth with the shredded meat inside was all so yummy. The guys who worked the truck were pleasant as well. I would get extra sauces and onions free with no problem. Now after purchasing many tacos, tostadas, and the consommé, I'm just not crazy about the beef. It's too fatty for me. I think it needs to be trimmed more. It's my preference. I don't like to eat any chunks of fat and lately when I've visited that's what I've been receiving. I don't think I will eat here much anymore, I still will give a thumb up for flavor and customer service, but they should work on the meat. Happy Yelping!

Fiorentina Steakhouse

Fiorentina Steakhouse has quickly become a staple. It didn't take long because the concept felt…read morefresh and unique for the area. I love being able to recommend a steakhouse that dry ages its own meats right here in the neighborhood. Yesterday, we were a bit pressed for time, so we ordered the lamb chops, skirt steak, and, of course, a nice bottle of wine. Everything was fantastic. The lamb chops were phenomenal, easily among the best I've had at any restaurant. They were incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. I'm usually not someone who enjoys eating the fat on meat, but the fat on these chops was rendered so beautifully that I found myself eating every bite. There wasn't a single chewy or unpleasant piece. I normally order the porterhouse or ribeye, but the skirt steak was an excellent choice when I wanted something leaner and quicker to enjoy without sacrificing flavor. The fried potato salad is another standout. It's a unique side that's absolutely worth ordering. And then there's the peppercorn sauce served with the lamb chops. It's a total mic drop. I honestly can't put into words how good it is. I found myself dipping everything in it (even my fingers ). It's that delicious! Fiorentina continues to impress every time we visit, and it's become one of my favorite places to recommend for a great steak dinner.

They drank the sodas and i still didnt have my drink. 4.- We could not order appetizers or food until drinks came.. i was wtf is this? 5.- We finally placed the order after my drink came. 3 appetizers and 1 full plate. 1 appetizer came and the server was, how was the food.. i said what food. She went back to check as at this point is kind of obvious they dont talk to each other. 6.- Appetizers came, but we had 0 plates or forks and guess what, we had to ask for them. 2 times to different people there. 7.- Finally, food is out. The Octopus was great and the side it comes was also really good. The Shrimp canastas, we ok. Barely any flavor but not bad. Steamed red snapper looked good but was bland. Still had too many scales which to me its a sign of rushing to serve this. I dont know why as it took so long to get the food. 8.- decided to ask for beer instead and to another person. I was not going to ruin my night. Overall clean and nice location but they need to fix their service and food. I will update the review if o ever come back They can do so much better if they would just organize the staff.

2 words only - Pork Gyro. My first bite was just the pork and it had some crunch, juiciness, and the perfect amount of fat. Delicious. Everything about the gyro was done right - the pita toasted and warm - the tzatziki was thick and garlicky - decent amount of tomato and lettuce - and the whole thing held together in the paper wrapping. Service was also quick and very friendly. I'd come back here anytime! It's the closest to what you'd find in Greece I've found in NYC. Except it's bigger and they don't put fries in it. read more

Why- food is delicious, abundant and just like they say you feel like you are eating in someone's home. Comfy interior with family running the show from front to back . Thank you so much for bringing such quality value and service. I found the entire experience wonderful and at a fair price. I feel like they cared that I went to eat there- I feel like the food was made by the chef/owner and not just a bunch of guys in the back. I feel like pasta patate makes you think back to something everybody's mother made.

They sell it by the slice or as a whole pie, and trust me, you have to go try it. The owner was incredibly hospitable and was even able to accommodate a special order for me. She let me know it would take about 25 minutes, but honestly, I didn't mind at all. In my mind, that just meant it couldn't get much fresher than that! When I returned to pick up my order, there was still a bit of a wait, but for good reason because they were BUSY. I was genuinely so happy to see such a new business getting that kind of support already. I truly wish them all the best because I can easily see them becoming very popular in the neighborhood.

I of course got the chicken over rice. The rice was an unfamiliar brown which I thought would be an overbearing flavor but not the case at all. The chicken was also alarming since it was a red color. And that is where I should have used better judgement. It was quite spicy which I was not expecting. To my plate I added the cucumber and tomato salad and chickpeas and of course a healthy amount of the white sauce. I also ordered pita bread but could have down without. The bread itself had a strange taste that I did not enjoy and wasn't the usual color of pita bread. Almost seemed like a whole wheat version. This spot ranks as number 2 of halal spots in Yonkers for me! Just keep in mind it definitely has a kick to it!
