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. read more

Pretty good gyro, white sauce is not overpowering, quality of the meat could be better though

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. read more

Carytown Gyro - Pita - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

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 read more

Carytown Gyro - I Mix ,Chicken,Beef&Lamb Fettuccine Alfredo - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

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 :) read more

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. read more

Go there now! We went there at 9pm on a Saturday and the food was fresh and tasted amazing. Large portions with exceptional sauces. We all had the Spicy Chicken over Rice and it was soooo yummy. The owner who helped us was so friendly : service was exceptional. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

Menu is fantastic. Food is 97% RICE!! Not much to say. Ordered 3 meals , picked up all the food and found RICE was the primary goals here. SMH. Small ass chunks of meat. NOT AT ALL what is advertised. Nothing like the menu choice. NEVER AGAIN. Thanks! Byeeee!! read more

Small spot but amazing food and great flavor. I had the Gyro wrap and my husband had the platter. We both got mixed meat. Very full of flavor. It wasn't greasy, over sauced it was very fresh. The lady who took our order was very sweet. When our food was ready she brought it out to us as we sat on the patio. She also brought out a big bottle of hot sauce that definitely packed some sneaky heat. We shared some fries that were nice and crispy not soggy. We will be back for sure. read more

Worst KCF ever! The peasant behind the counter insisted everything was in the bag. I get home to see that ALL the chicken was missing!

This is a super cute place at the end of Cary Stret just off 195. My husband introduced me to the food here and I'm hooked! The portions are massive and full of flavor! I get a mixed gyro and usually end up eating half and saving half for later. The meats are expertly seasoned and cooked and the garlic sauce is the best thing I've tasted in a long time. Hopefully if the get busy enough they'll offer delivery! Soooooo good! read more

Carytown Gyro - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Of the three or four gyro places on Cary, this mom-and-pop is the most tucked away, but you don't want to miss it. From flavor to portions to service to ambiance, Carytown Gyro is actually outstanding. In addition to the Yelp hummus offer, this place participates in just about every miles and points program there is, making it an even better value. I've eaten here four times, and my only regret is not "discovering" this place sooner. The falafel is a standout: large, light, tender, crispy spheres with sesame seeds added to the traditional mix. I usually prefer more herbaceous falafels, but make an exception for these. The falafel sandwich is an enormous portion, with three falafels, hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickle, and a tangy sauce, all dusted with sumac on a whole pita - that it is only $5 on Wednesdays makes it an absolutely amazing deal. Service is as friendly as it is fast. There is patio seating, as well as a communal table in an anteroom that is all window, in addition to a couple of tables near the register: it's like "choose your own ambiance," but each has its advantages. read more

This is our 5th stop on our little food tour. I got a falafel wrap and when I tell you that it was a struggle to only take one bite....whew....it is soooo good. All the ingredients taste freshly prepared. There is limited seating area but we were the only ones in there and I ordered to go. There was a steady stream of order pick ups, which makes sense because it's chilly outside and parking can be crazy in Carytown. The lady that took my order was super nice and attentive. read more

LISTEN YALL! My boyfriend and myself have been here so many times, but this time really pushed it over the edge. Our food came so fast and the guy gave us extra homemade white sauce and homemade hot sauce, which was so amazing and when I said it was so amazing. He sent us home with some extra! It's such a cute small family restaurant and you can genuinely feel that the workers care ! As I hinted towards earlier, everything is homemade we ordered the falafel and it came out, moist and fresh. My boyfriend, who doesn't even like falafel half the time said that this was one of the best falafel she ever had because it was so moist! My bf got the gyro and it was amazing ! There's a lot of Middle Eastern restaurants up and down Carytown but this one is very affordable very quick and very yummy. I would recommend it over all of them anytime! read more

I love this place. I live nearby and it is a perfect place to drop in to grab a bite to eat. I usually get the chicken NYC Platter and it really is the perfect blend of flavors. The house white sauce and hot sauce also add the perfect amount of heat if that is more what you are looking for. The person at the register has always been kind and the food comes out pretty quick! It is a small building with limited seating but it is very welcoming and feels like a family spot. Big fan! read more

A very nice hole in the wall restaurant. Seating is limited but it makes it feel very cozy. You can choose to sit inside or outside. We ordered the chicken and falafel gyro platter, the chicken salad and the jerk chicken wings (we actually spent a long time on the wings section because they had a ton of flavors, but the staff were very good with their recommendations). The salad was good, but a little dry because it didn't come with a sauce. But each table has 2 sauces if you wanna mix it up. The platter was so good, the rice and chicken were well flavored and easy to share or just enjoy on your own. Would definitely go back again read more

Carytown Gyro is conveniently located near a bunch of cute shops. The restaurant is quaint and has a welcoming vibe. I ordered a gyro platter with a mix of everything. The food did not disappoint! The platter also came with a salad which tasted very fresh. The food was well worth the price, I believe I only paid about $12-13 for my plate and I most certainly got my money's worth. In addition, the service was great! The person who took my order was really kind. As I was eating my food, one of the employees came around making sure that everything was cooked to my liking. I really appreciate this customer service and look forward to returning should I ever be in the area again! read more

Stop wasting your time reading this and go there right now. Hands down the best gyro and baklava I've ever had! I got the mix gyro with beef/lamb/chicken and the quality of the meat and the pita is incomparable to any other place in Richmond .. or even in Virginia. My friend and I were so full but I had to try the baklava . I got hazelnut chocolate drizzled on top and it was sooo good. Just sweet enough and you can taste each crispy layer. They also have specials that changes frequently. I've been told their kefta is amazing too. Go there.. now. read more

Carytown Gyro is takeout only right now. I stopped there to try them out for lunch. Was greeted by very friendly chef and ordered the Greek to me sandwich with lamb and chicken. 15 minutes later I got my gigantic sandwich. They do not skimp on portion size, so there is that. It is definitely more than one serving. I did like the fries inside of the sandwich and Taziki sauce was delicious but I wish they added more veggies. Cucumber, onion, lettuce, tomatoes were pretty much absent. Just basically meat and fries. Meat was seasoned well though. Anyway, overall sandwich was ok. read more

Wonderful new Mediterranean restaurant in the Carytown district. It caught my attention while looking up reviews on places to eat. The place had a comfortable ambiance with plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs. Upon entering, we were greeted by a sweet lady at the counter. She explained the menu and then proceeded to take our order. We started off with an appetizer of hummus (it's free when you check in with Yelp). It was so good and fresh. I was really craving falafels so I ordered a falafel sandwich wrap. The flavorful falafels were wrapped in a warm pita bread. The falafels were delicious; the outside had a nice crunchy texture to it. I also took a couple of bites from the mixed gyro platter that we ordered. Wow, it was amazing!! All of the ingredients complimented each other well and created an exploding of flavor. The mix platter comes with lamb, chicken, and beef. The lamb was definitely my favorite! I'm ordering that next time I go! After finishing up, the manager came by to greet us. He was very welcoming and kind. Overall, the food here was super tasty! It's worth checking them out! read more

Carytown Gyro - Chicken Shawarma with pickles! - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This was my first visit to Carytown Gyro. I came around dinner and placed my order to go. I ended up ordering a lamb and beef gyro and my boyfriend ordered the chicken shawarma. Their food is made fresh, so don't be alarmed if you have to wait a little bit (under ten minutes). It is worth it! The gyro was simply the best I have ever had and had a generous amount of tzatziki without being too messy to eat. My boyfriend's shawarma was very good as well, though I did prefer my gyro. To finish our meal, we split a piece of baklava and it was SO good; it was flaky, yet soft. I regret not ordering another piece. In addition to the top notch food, the customer service was absolutely delightful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful given that it was our first visit. Carytown Gyro is an absolute treat. I know we will definitely be back! read more

Carytown Gyro - These frys are bomb! Amazingly seasoned and fresh. - Halal Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Best shawarma I have ever had. Falafel is amazing too, and they have the best weekly specials in town. $5, huge, made-from-scratch, falafel sandwich on Wednesday? Amazing deal. $6 greek-to-me chicken gyro on Thursday? Amazing deal! I actually hadn't tried the gyro prior to the Thursday special because I am much more interested in the shawarma, but the gyro is also so, so goooood. I still think I may still prefer the beef and lamb shawarma, but the greek-to-me gyro is a not far behind! Portions are generous as well. If you manage to finish a meal here, you will be very full. I've read some reviews here where people said they thought fries in a shawarma wrap was an unconventional and inauthentic, though tasty, addition (this is actually what made me want to write this). In the past I had taken my friend, who is Lebanese/Saudi, who had spent much of her childhood in Beirut, to the only other good shawarma spot I had been to, and her biggest complaint is that she couldn't get fries in her shawarma. So I'm pretty sure that serving fries in the shawarma is nether inauthentic, nor pandering to local tastes - it is just really really good! Good set up for pandemic times as well. I have tried to only order take-out from restaurants that are being safe during the pandemic, and Carytown Gyro seems like they are being safer than most! read more
