Chicken Pita Sandwich
Connie T.

Carytown Gyro is my go-to when I'm craving a NYC platter. All the platters I've had are so good. You pick your protein and then it's served over rice with lettuce, tomato, onion, green peppers, white sauce, and pita bread. The meat is tender and I like that it's chopped to small bites. It makes it easy to mix everything up. I always get extra white sauce too. The pita sandwiches are filled generously as well. Their menu is quite large with an interesting variety of foods. I've only ever ordered on Door Dash and have never had any issues. They're also on GrubHub and UberEats.

Pita
Jack M.

Ordered the pita gyro sandwich. Meat: tender, well-seasoned, delicious. Vegetables: fresh, crunchy, bright. Pita bread: soft, fluffy, perfect vehicle for fillings. Ambiance: classic Mediterranean takeout, casual, no-frills. Nice patio for al fresco dining. Location: pleasant commercial street, convenient. Overall: impressive gyro, fresh ingredients, inviting patio. Solid choice for quick, satisfying lunch. Will return to try more.

Beef & Lamb Gyro
Menghai T.

I got the beef and lamb gyro sandwich ($10). It was filled with meat, lettuce , tomato, white sauce, and an optional hot sauce. Both the white and hot sauce added great flavor to the gyro. Staff was nice and they made my sandwich in about 5 minutes. There wasn't much seating besides outside so I just took the gyro home. Overall a good takeout place if you are looking for a gyro that's good and priced fairly. Food(50%): 7.8 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 7.5/10

Words can't explain just how good this food is.Been looking for got eats since moving here.Needless to say I ate at a lot of places , but nothing compares to what I ate today hands-down the best place I ate at since I've been here.

Lamb gyro (without tomatoes)
Nicole N.

I've heard good things about this place and finally got a chance to check it out! The lamb gyro was pretty solid. There were generous servings of well-seasoned lamb meat in my gyro and the pita bread was soft. There was a good ratio of meat to lettuce to bread, but there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. While I'm a fan of extra sauce, the amount was a little too much. I appreciated how you can customize your gyro (ie no tomatoes) and loved how the staff double checked with you for the other ingredients. It feels like a whole-in-the-wall place but there is a good amount of seating and the tables were clean. Food came out pretty quickly and they even brought the food to our table :)

Order here
Anthony F.

Stopped in for a sandwich for dinner. The store looks clean and the service was pleasant and polite. Woman at the order counter explained and answered all our questions. My main question was if they had a traditional gyro pita sandwich made of beef and lamb. She pointed to the menu above the counter to where it said beef gyro and explained that the beef gyro also had lamb in it. I believe that should be noted on the menus. Proceeded to ordered beef (with lamb) gyros with French fries. The food was brought to our table in an acceptable time. Everything ordered looked fresh and cooked properly. The fries were hot and crispy. The gyro was flavorful and the meat was very tender. The meat was warm/hot but since the toppings were cold the sandwich cooled down quickly. I've had a lot of gyro sandwiches in the past and this sandwich seemed more like a shawarma sandwich, I guess I would consider it a hybrid gyro/shawarma sandwich. There were cases of soda stacked in the corner of the main cafe which took away from the ambiance but this is not a fancy place. It's more of a lunch stop and I assume it gets pretty busy at lunchtime. The food was very good and I would revisit to try other items on the menu.

Philadelphia Ice
May-May R.

There's a couple gyro restaurants on this street but this continues to be our favorite! Less busy than the one a block away, the chicken or falafel gyros are my absolute favorite in the area. They are jam-packed with meat (or falafel), great tzatziki but the fries take it up 5 notches. We also tried the Jamaican beef patty's and a Philadelphia ice. The patty's were flavorful and while the cherry ice wasn't our favorite flavor, the consistency reminded us of the childhood ice's we used to eat (we read the mango and coconut were the best flavors). The employees are extremely kind and they have seating upstairs and outside. Highly recommend!

Fries
Steph J.

AMAZING!! i went today and got the chicken tacos combo. the hot sauce was perfect if you love spice it amazing on the tacos, they were warm and filling, the fries were perfectly crispy and not too hard, the guy working at the front was very patient as i've never been and he let me take my time to find what i wanted. the restaurant was a little hole in the wall and it was very warm as it was cold outside. i would go back again!

Carytown Gyro Sunday 1:22pm 3/6/22 Upon arrival I noticed the small tables for outside seating. Upon walking in there was 1 large table and inside 2 small tables. Inside the restaurant was small, really small. $13.00 I ordered a gyro and asked if anything came with it. She told me everything but also added that the French fries that came with it were actually inside the gyro. That threw me off and made me wonder was something else going on abnormal with the gyro. She assured me it was a regular gyro and could give me my fries separately. Whew! lol She was really nice and I appreciate her effort. It took about 10-15 minutes for my food, which is fine. The fries were good but still can't imagine them in the gyro. The gyro, I'm not feeling. For starters, While I appreciate the generosity, there is way too much meat. There's no way I can fold and eat it. The taste was definitely different from any gyro I've ever had. I'm not sure what is going on. The Tzatziki sauce I also did not care for and I typically get extra tzatziki sauce. I'm not sure but it taste lemony and something else. This taste stayed with me the rest of the day. It may be one of those things where you just have to try it for yourself. I will not revisit, just not my cup of tea.

Beef Gyro Pita Only
Naomi G.

I really enjoyed my beef gyro on pita bread! My friend also really enjoyed his beef and chicken gyro platter. The staff were very friendly. The beef was cooked well and the white sauce on it was very good! I recommend!

Outside
Bobbi H.

I was looking for a new spot to try in Carytown so we popped into Carytown Gyros We were greeted immediately upon entering and they were very friendly answering our questions and our order was ready pretty quickly. The place is pretty small with 3 tables inside. Clean, but seemed old, a NYC vibe in there was a cooler for soft drinks, freezer and cases of soda out in the dining area. There was a stairway, not sure if there is more seating upstairs or if that's offuces/personal space. Fries were hot and crispy, though they may have from a bag/frozen Gyro was BIG and packed with meat. The meat was super tender and juicy, you can tell it's marinated for days vs hours...which is a big deal. The meat wasn't really warm though and I think it's because there was ALOT of very cold Taziki sauce. I am a sauce person and a dipper, there was too much sauce and it was pretty plain, which meant it diluted any flavor in the meat. There was also very minimal tomato, onion and lettuce. To some that might be a plus, as there was clearly more meat packed in the pita but I was hoping for more than one small bite of a chopped tomato. Pita was soft and fresh I try to be consistent in ratings and fair because most rating are subjective, so I struggled between a 3 and 4 here and decided on the 4. Service was good, portions were a good value, food was fresh and I will give them another try. Usually with a 3, I probably won't ever go back. Service .5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality Presentation .5 Atmosphere/vibe Value

Cheese Fries Large
Maya O.

Carytown Gyro had one of the best platters I've had. The cheese fries were also great with the addition of seasonings. Additionally, the staff were very friendly and very attentive. I will definitely be coming back soon to try out their 40+ chicken wing flavors.

Beef gyro platter

The restaurant is clean and the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the beef gyro platter, and there was nothing resembling a gyro on my plate. The food was perfectly edible, but if it had been clear what I was ordering, I would not have ordered it.

Fresh food and friendly service. They're open late as well which is great, especially in the weekend. We'll keep coming back for sure!

Blue Habanero is a Mexican restaurant near Scoop on Strawberry St. in Richmond. There's free street…read moreparking in front of the restaurant and street parking nearby. The ambiance can be described as eclectic and casual. It's great for big groups and relaxed lunches. There's a variety of menu options for food and drink. Our server was nice, but she didn't really answer our questions about the menu or substitutions, which was a little inconvenient. Also, we kept having to ask for utensils and napkins, which made our food get a bit cold. The pineapple habanero margarita tasted like spicy pineapple juice and was pretty expensive. It was pretty, but not worth the money. The food also was really average, but the portion sizes were good for sharing. The huitlacoche tacos were a little bland and soggy, the chicken chipotle tacos had a good sauce but were also soggy and the fajitas did not have enough seasoning. Not a restaurant that I would come back to, but I liked it's proximity to other dessert places nearby.

We arrived on Thursday night around 8 pm, and the parking was hit or miss. I had to circle the…read moreblock to find a spot, but it was pretty close once I did. I noticed the ice cream/yogurt spot nearby was hopping. There was a person asking for change outside the front door. We were greeted by an enthusiastic host and seated immediately at a booth up front. The server came by within seconds and brought us water and place settings. We decided to get the chips and salsa for an appetizer and a pair of melting chimichangas for entrees. I can't resist some chorizo and steak. My partner got the chimichanga without chorizo and with chicken. The ambiance was colorful with beautifully painted murals on each wall, and the atmosphere was undeniably loud. There were lots of patrons. The place was packed, even at the bar, so your mileage may vary. We received our orders within minutes of each other, so there wasn't much of a wait time. The chips and salsa were homemade, fresh, warm, and delicious (muy rico). Same for the entrees; exactly what I want in a Mexican food restaurant. The chorizo and steak were well-cooked, seasoned, and chopped finely, but not ground. I was in heaven with that chimichanga. We had to take home leftovers. The next night, heated in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes, they were similarly excellent. The night ended without dessert, sadly (too full). However, the server was quick and efficient, and he was always around to fill water and bring anything we needed throughout the meal. Great experience overall. We will definitely return here whenever we have a hankering for some good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I can recommend this place to anyone who appreciates hearty and filling Mexican food.
