Lamb Gyro Platter and Chicken Gyro Platter
Heidi M.

Whenever I get free DoorDash credits, I try to order from somewhere that will give me the biggest bang for my buck. Call me frugal but with my $25, I was able to order 5 different things from here! And that, my friends, is what I call a win. Gyro Cafe is a really solid spot for your classic, affordable halal cart-style chicken over rice platter ($9.75). Generous portion, filling and overall very yummy. My bf had the lamb gyro platter ($9.75) which was just okay - the texture reminded us of mystery meat. We would've preferred it in smaller portions, perhaps in a mixed plate with other proteins. We also tried a couple of kebabs - the kofta ($1.50) and chapli ($3) - which were also okay but I'd personally skip next time. I'd just stick to the basics: chicken gyro platter or mixed platter and perhaps their namesake, a gyro (pita sandwich)! And if anyone was wondering, I got an Arizona iced tea with my last dollar. It was a well-balanced New York meal.

My office has ordered from here a couple of times and they're a great choice for halal platters. I usually always get their mixed plates. The meat that it comes with tastes very fresh and is flavorful. The rice on the side is fragrant. Additionally, the salad it comes with has a nice mix of veggies and is very fresh. My main complaint is that I wish there was more meat and rice than salad since the former would be more filling. However, the portions that come with each order are huge. I can usually split one platter between two meals. All in all, a solid lunch choice.

A hot ass mess. Exactly how it came. Does this look appetizing to you? 13.75 for this.

One thing I can't stand when it comes to food establishments? Negligence and carelessness. If you're not going to prepare someone's food with the same care and respect you would want from someone preparing YOUR FOOD, then you shouldn't own a restaurant or any type of business for that matter. This place was my go to and then I started ordering less and less because they got sloppy and started to ignore special instructions/requests. Not to mention I also realized that their prices didnt make that much sense compared to other spots in the area with better service and portions. However, I really did enjoy their lamb and so I decided to order from them tonight. I placed the order 30 minutes ahead of their closing time on Doordash which was 12:30. Their official closing time is at 1. When it comes to halal in general, my only request EVER has always been that the meat be chopped up very small. I have a pet peeve with large chunks of lamb or chicken, especially cause it's usually dark meat. I also get my sauce on the side. That way I can heat it up in the oven without it getting soggy. My order arrived in a plastic grocery bag that wasn't even properly sealed or wrapped. The aluminum container could've been accessed by anybody and tbh I would'nt be surprised if it was with the way that it looked. The white sauce was spilled all in the bag. And the biggest let down? It literally looked like they didn't even bother to put any type of effort into my order at all. I have never seen pieces of chicken that big in a halal platter in all my years of living. It looked thrown together or worse, like someone had their hands all up in my food. No way for me to know though so it went in the garbage. I even tried calling them to let them know and they sent me to voicemail. So to be frank, fuck this place.

Salad Bar

This is the spot. Fresh lamb and chicken shaved in front of you. A FULL salad bar that is immensely fresh. Don't forget about their menu that is extensive - veggie options. The best in BK.

Lamb Gyro Sandwich
Lisette C.

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and I was quite satisfied with my gyro sandwich. It was quite tasty. The meat seasoned well and very tender. I loved the white sauce as well. My only complaint is that I requested additional sauce on the side but it wasn't in the bag. Oh there were no napkins or utensils either. Overall it was a good experience and I'll be ordering again.

I have never been to the famed "Halal Guys" food cart in Manhattan. But we stumbled into this place around midnight as it was one of the few places open and still serving food... Oh man... I don't know how good the OG Halal Guys food cart can be, but I can't imagine it being any better than this chicken plate I got at Gyro Cafe. It was one of the best meals I've had during my trip to new york. maybe my whole life... Now where can I get me some halal food back in Oakland?? I've been to a sanitized "Halal Guys" chain location somewhere in southern california, but that does not light a candle to the plate of chicken and aromatically seasoned rice I got at Gyro Cafe... Someone please help me!

Falafel
Sharon T.

Happy with my order. Very fast delivery. Some of the food was spicy which is a plus. Would have been 5 stars if the sauce was good. Very watery and mayo based...I don't know what the red sauce was it was horrible, glad I tasted it before I put it on my food. Will order again

Chicken over rice.  White sauce overload.

When we arrived, we were surprised to see that it was a more formal setting as we were looking for something more of a quick takeout type of place. The restaurant is very nice, it has two dining room rooms and sit down service only for the dining rooms. We were approached immediately and sat down at a table by the window. When we explain to the waitress what we were looking for she let us know that we would be able to order gyros or wraps. We ordered two chicken wraps, and one lamb wrap, as well as lamacune. The wraps came with french fries, they were tasty and they came with a white yogurt sauce on the side. The Turkish pizza (lamacune) was delicious, each order has three pieces. The waitress brought us, complementary, hummus and yogurt sauce along with their fresh bread as a starter. Overall, the experience was good and I would go back to this restaurant if I am in the area.

Both were delicious and very tasty! The falafel was very moist and fresh while the chicken shawarma was very flavorful. Platter portions weren't that big. Overall, it's a great place but nothing special that you need to go out of your way for. Service: Staff are friendly and welcoming! Ambiance: The restaurant has a good amount of seating, both indoors and outdoors. The place feels homey and cozy. Can accomodate small and large groups, but tables are set up for groups of 2-4. Overall, I would recommend this place.

We ordered the Spicy Chicken Kebab, Chicken Kebab, Mantu, and Qabali Rice with Lamb Chop. All the dishes were tasty, and we really enjoyed the flavors. The only disappointing part was the timing. We arrived around 9:15 PM, and the restaurant was supposed to close at 10 PM. Unfortunately, we felt rushed to finish our food, so we couldn't relax and enjoy our dinner as much as we would have liked. Overall, the food was excellent, and I would definitely recommend trying it. I just wish we had been able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed!

I had been to this Afghan restaurant once a good while ago, having gone there as part of a Yelp…read moreevent where I loved the food. More recently, I hosted a meal here with a bunch of others, and there were enough glaring issues that I can't recommend this place anymore, regardless of the excellent quality. The place is casual, and the staff had to be asked for silverware, extra cups for water, spoons for serving, and other items. To drink, someone had a $5 Doogh, and I ordered one too, but it never arrived, though at least it wasn't on the bill. They gave us a simple salad to munch on prior to the meal, which worked well with the yogurt dressing on the table. The bread on everyone else's table was missing from ours, which turned out to be the first difference in our meal compared to most other tables. For appetizers, we got a couple that were both $8 and had the same type of sauce. My preference of the two was the Mantu, or steamed dumplings stuffed with ground beef. The dish came with six large dumplings that were plump, with a nice thin dumpling skin. There was also the Aushak, filled with leeks and scallions. In comparison, they were smaller and a bit thicker, with a more refreshing filling. The sauces on both dishes consisted of a mix of garlic mint yogurt and a lamb/tomato-based sauce, and they went well, adding some tang. Of the mains, my preference was the $15 Chapli Kabob, or sizzling pan-fried ground beef patties mixed with fresh vegetables. In comparison to the Pakistani version, they were more delicately spiced, but I didn't mind, as there still was a little pleasant kick. The meat, otherwise, was very tender, with the three patties easily broken apart with a spoon for sharing. The group favorite was surprisingly the Spicy Chicken Kabob, consisting of boneless chicken breast marinated with a blend of Afghan spices for $17. The chicken was very tender and juicy, with a mild kick. I found it better than the $18 Lamb Tikka Kabob, with the meat in the latter being tasty but a bit dry/overcooked. There was also the tasty $15 Borani Banjan, or fried eggplant seasoned with spices and topped with garlic mint yogurt. This is available as an appetizer, but we got it as a main. The eggplant had a light crisp and a similarly tasty sauce, similar to the appetizers, which made sense in retrospect. The most well-known dish here is the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao for $23, or braised lamb shank served over a bed of rice and garnished with sweet raisins and carrots. The lamb fell off the bone and was wonderful overall, and I can see why this is the most popular option here. I would comment on the Qabuli Pulao, but they gave us standard brown rice. They eventually gave us a separate dish of raisins and carrots, but this was annoying at best, as a few other dishes were coming out with said mixture on other tables, and I doubt they had all ordered it prior. For dessert, we got a single order of Firnee for $6, a housemade custard made with sweet milk, cinnamon, rosewater, and cardamom, garnished with minced pistachios. The custard was light with a mild sweetness. Otherwise, there was a pleasant floral flavor. We had a $5 pot of green tea with that dessert, which had some cardamom and I think maybe a little bit of cinnamon as well, and it went well. Overall, it was good, though a few of us got dessert afterwards at the excellent Pakistani shop Narala nearby. If the food wasn't so good, I'd be docking this spot another point or two, as this was the first time in a very long time that it felt like we were getting a different experience, in terms of bread and especially the rice, for some rather obvious/unfortunate reasons. The fact that they charged us for this rice multiple times without giving us said pulao irks me as well, even if it's only $3 per dish. To be honest, I would prefer to go back to a pricier spot in Manhattan, such as Afghan Kabob House or Ariana, where the service is nicer and we get the same experience.

Cafe Two Way confuses me. On their sign, they're called Chaihana (Tea House) Two Way. Online,…read morethey're called Cafe Two Way. On another sign in front of the door, they're Tandoori Food & Bakery. One the inside, they advertise as Chaihana Salom. What doesn't confuse me, though, is how ridiculously delicious and authentic everything they prepare is. Upon stepping in, you're greeted by a fairly timid mom and pop setting. Four small tables, a sink, a small counter, and walls decadently decorated with paintings and mementos of Uzbekistan. The workers are down to Earth and get straight to the point. No time for chit chat when you have a thriving business to run. - Samsa: We were told by family friends that Two Way has the absolute best samsa in all of Brooklyn. While that's a bold statement, they are definitely up in my top rankings. The crust is of perfect thickness and flakiness. Inside, you are greeted my a monstrous amount of lamb, onions, and delectable lard. Juices flow out like the nectar of the Uzbek gods. What makes their samsa so special is that they have a legit tandoor in the back. It's not the same as what you might find in a Tashkent street market, but its very close. - Shurpa: A tomato based soup of lamb, potatoes, and other vegetables. Wonderfully prepared and full of that distinct aroma that shurpa is known for. One of the best I've had. Most patrons you will see here are locals. English will be rarely heard, but I'm sure is spoken. Next time I'm back in New York, I'll be sure to return and place a to-go order for half a suitcase full of samsa to bring back to California. These guys are ruthless too. The sign outside says "Those who do not drink tea will be ended." The Russian word "hana" means death, the end, but is also included in the word "chaihana" = tea house. Clever play on words. Drink your tea, kids. I don't think you want to be ended.
