Gyro King 150 Washington Ave. Dumont, NJ 07628 Wings Shish Kebob Chicken Tilkka Platter Chicken Rice Platter Lamb Rice Platter Chicken Lamb Mix Platter with shawarma Appearance: 1/2 Taste: On the main intersection at Washington and Madison Avenues is a local Halal restaurant. Both appetizers were excellent! The wings are hot and crispy. While the shish kebob was also really tasty, it has an elongated appearance that looks similar to a specific body part (hence the main reason for a lower appearance rating). While I was apprehensive about trying lamb, the green eggs & ham situation came into effect! As soon as I took my first bite, I was hooked as I devoured that platter! The shawarma sauce is really creamy and it goes with anything and everything! You can either have it on the side or on top of your meal. Some of the dishes, such as the chicken tikka and shish kebob, are cooked on the grill and it will take a few minutes longer. But it's definitely worth the wait! All in all, these Halal entrees are fantastic. The portion sizes are really large; in most cases, one serving will feed 2 parties. As I mentioned in previous reviews, come with an open mind and never judge a book by its cover. #dumontnj #gyroking #halal #shishkebob #chickentikka #shawarma #njfoodie #lamb #lambriceplatter #chickentikkaplatter read more

Horrible experience tonight. Been visiting here for a few years now, but tonight was the worst. I order the large lamb platter. So they start with the rice, which is fine. I asked for the salad, the one with tomato and cucumbers chopped up. I asked for a scoop of chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. I was denied, the person stated that it already in the salad and he wasn't about to give me anymore. I said "Since when is this new?" The employee was just a miserable person. They had other stuff like beans, olives, chickpeas, jalapeños and such. All I want was the salad and a serving of chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. He didn't even really give me much salad to begin with. Then I guess he thought he would be funny and try drowning everything with the white sauce. Had I not already paid, I would've walked out. Never going there again. As a side note, since the platter was $14, I gave a $20 and he wasn't happy because didn't have the change to give me. He kept asking if I had $4. They had no small bills and he was forced to pay me out of the tip jar. I'll never go there again read more

I saw photos of their dish online, however I didn't see any dishes with what this thing is. Its antennas are very present. Poor hygiene along with customer service. They started yelling at me through the phone and in person too. read more

Gyro King - Lamb and Rice Platter with a cockroach. - Halal Near Me - Dumont, New Jersey

Went over to grab a platter for lunch. Unfortunately chicken was still on the grill, so had to come back 15 minutes later. Upon return, it was quick turnaround to walk out with my platter. The store appeared much cleaner than before. The platter was super tasty. Love the flavorful chicken they serve. The white sauce is really complementary to the rice and chicken. read more

Walked in and smelled terrible, like walking into a used bathroom. The cashier was so rude. We just walked right back out.

Thank goodness for late night Halal restaurants. Gyro King is conveniently open until 3AM! They have a parking lot in the back of the building, so don't drive too quickly because it's easy to miss the driveway. I came a little after 9pm on a Sunday. There was a constant influx of people coming in for pick-ups. Despite how busy it was, I was able to get my food very quickly. Customer service isn't the friendliest here. They're not very interactive and just want you to order and go. I ordered a chicken platter ($9). It comes with rice and salad. For the salad, you can choose your toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, chickpeas, peppers, etc.). And of course, you can't forget the sauces. I always always always go for white sauce and hot sauce. You get a generous portion of food for the price and it's easily enough for two meals. The chicken and rice were good quality. Seasoned and delicious, but also on the saltier side. Was it the best platter I've ever had? No. You ever had a meal that was just missing IT? That IT factor. Yeah. For the price and the amount of food you get, it's still worth getting a meal here. Very budget friendly and convenient. read more

Normally don't give 1 Star Reviews, Ordered from here and my girlfriend took a bite into her lovely staple, rice and lamb. Yes, there was a staple in our ride and lamb covered in white sauce. We also asked for it to be plain and it they didn't do the order correctly. Eat here at your own risk ‍ read more

A year later and still aspiring for 4 stars! Ordered pickup via UberEats. Food was ready in a timely manner and prepared as requested. "Lamb", chicken, and rice were all dry and not as flavorful as I remember them being. Portion was still decent, although I noticed less salad, and probably a slightly smaller portion overall. Service by the gentlemen behind the counter was brusque, as usual. Still probably the best Halal platters in the area. read more

I got takeout for lunch from Gyro King and was impressed by the generous portion size and reasonable prices. The chicken and lamb platter was a standout - succulent and flavorful. One platter is enough food for two people. I couldn't finish it for lunch and ate the rest for dinner. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars...I could see why nobody was sitting inside. This place has provided me with the WORST customer service I have ever experience IN MY LIFE! The type of service that makes you walk in hungry & leave with a completely soiled appetite. I truly feel bad for even leaving a review like this, but this type of treatment cannot go on. I asked for sauce on the side MULTIPLE TIMES, and when I saw the lake he dumped onto my food I stopped him & said, "I asked for sauce on the side." To which he argued with me about the way I ORDER MY OWN FOOD? Instead of arguing with the customer, perhaps he should have taken accountability for mishearing or forgetting the order? Instead, he forced me to pay for a new order & now I'm going home with 2 meals I won't be eating. I would never have argued with someone over something like that...I know how I ordered the food I would eat vs. NOT eat. Fast forward 2 weeks. My boyfriend found a WORM inside his food!!!!!! I can't emphasize enough how DISGUSTING this place is. read more

Being a vegetarian and formerly lived near this neighborhood, I stopped in because I was in the mood for Falafels. I asked the person behind the register, what is in the falafel sandwich, I did not understand a word he said, and it seemed as if he had the same problem. He then starting ringing it up in the register. I, again, stated what are the items in the sandwich, (I.e. cucumbers, tomato, etc.) ...no clue. He then turned to the grill man and I asked him the same question.. No clue what was inside. He said the item is a pre-made sandwich provided by corporate. Bottom line, I don't like tomatoes, they had no idea if tomatoes were in the sandwich. I left. read more

Just came across this local gem! There's a wide array of options at a reasonable price (lamb, chicken tikka, falafel..etc). I would also add that you get a generous amount. I ordered the chicken platter and it was amazing! It was $9 and 100% worth it. Side note: There is also parking in the back! Definitely coming back soon! read more

One of my entrees was missing from my prepaid order. When I called to straighten the problem out the man I spoke to didn't care and hung up on me. Rude. I'm still trying to get my money back. read more

Ok so DID NOT know this place existed in my town. DID NOT know they were so close! DID NOT know how yummy they are. DID NOT know how delicious they are. DID NOT know how reasonably priced they are. DID NOT know how popular they are until very recently. DID NOT know how awesome this place is! Super Friendly service, great menu, great pricing and tasty dishes! You can see how they prepare your meals as you wait for your take out (unless you call ahead). We tried a chicken and gyro platter, gyro and chicken tenders on our first try. They were all hands down DELISH!!! Nothing is greasy nor fatty which is a huge plus! On our second visit we called ahead and ordered for a group of us at home. We ordered three of the same fabulous filling and tasty platters, falafel and chicken tenders again. Oh and their hot sauce is hot sauce indeed so beware! Everything was amazing!! Our guests were delighted and surprised by how delicious the food was. If you can't tell by now, I am super excited to have this lil gem in our town! I am Obsessed! Good luck Gyro King. Keep doing what you are doing! Nothing seems to last in that space but I think we have a winner-Finally! read more

Food was tasty and not overly salty. Lamb and chicken tikka were a hit. Ask for the white sauce and hot sauce on the side because they tend to drench it when you don't request it. Got a sweetness from the chicken in the rice platter so chicken tikka is the way to go. Love the added ingredients in the salad. Not your generic ice berg. There were fresh peppers, cucumbers, corn and olives. Happily adding them to our weekly rotation! read more

My family and I ordered from Gyro King for the first time tonight, and we were quite impressed! We ordered their chicken and rice & chicken lamb and rice platters. Flavorful, yet not overly salty. They are also so generous with the amount of food- each platter was so PACKED and hefty, and felt enough for two meals. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Never disappoints! When I need some halal late at night, I will always order from here. Chicken rice platter is delicious and they offer a generous portion. They also provide sauces on the side if you ask. They offer an area to dine in and seems clean. They are open until 3 AM so they are open for a late meal! Highly recommend! read more

A great addition to the area. The place just opened today. I went w the chicken rice platter. They have an assortment of add on veggies - lettuce, onions, chick peas, corn, banana peppers ect. I also got a side of falafel and an order of chicken wings. The falafel was solid. The wings were tasty but they are straight pre frozen out of the bag. I would stick to the main stays - chicken, lamb platters, w fresh meat cut off the rotating spit. I love the option to be able to crush a real gyro now locally whenever I want and not have to schlep 20+ min away. Gyro King - In! read more

I ordered the chicken gyro with no onions. Unfortunately they added green peppers and a ridiculous amount of tzatziki sauce. Make sure you custom order your sandwich. I called to complain the man apologized but did nothing else My sandwich in the garbage and I am a very unhappy customer read more

Be careful of an "internet fee" when you order online for pickup. Chicken was seasoned perfectly, delicious.

Rude and poor customer service. The falafels in the pita were overcooked and very dry. Couldn't eat it. Gyro was good till I found a hair in it. I give this place a big NO! read more

I've been coming to this place frequently since they opened. I've even give them nice review when they start the place to help them growing and get more customers. But now I'm so disappointed that this place is went down the hill very fast. I mean the food still good, but the place is miserably not taken care, you can really see almost everything on the open kitchen. But the most concerned is the attitude of the guy work there or own that place is beyond rude. No honesty, no respect towards customer. So I came there on May 18, 2022 ordered gyro platter, chicken wings and chicken burger. The first guy taking my order and I paid it with tips (I always give tips even for takeout). Few minutes later the first guy talk to other guy, and the other guy (I think the owner or manager) told me they're out of chicken burger, they only have spicy chicken burger. I told them I'm sorry I need to cancel that because it's for my daughter and she can't eat spicy food. So the guy just give $5 right away to me without saying anything and doing anything on the register (he's looking upset, like it was my fault?!) Then 2 days later, May 20 I called to order again. I ask first if they have chicken burger? The guy said yes, so I order 1 chicken burger and 1 chicken platter. When I came to pick up, I saw the same guy with the same dirty shirt (not uniform) who looks like the owner or manager ask me for my veggie side. When I ask to add more lettuce he just ignored me and ask "chicken"? I was confused, Then I said again "can you please add more lettuce?". Then again he ignored me, and just rudely asked "chicken? Chicken??".. I said yes it's for chicken platter. Then after put the chicken he just add some lettuce. Like whattt??? What was that? Are you on pms or something man?! When I came home, and my daughter eat her chicken burger, she said it's so spicy! I try it and I know that it's spicy chicken that the guy said 2 days before, but this time he just want to sell that out so he just lie that it was the regular chicken. That was just terrible! Very dishonest!! I've had enough! Not gonna come there anymore! I better drive 20 minutes to Teaneck if I want gyro king than to deal with that kind of rudeness and dishonesty. read more

This Gyro King is 1 in about 3-4 other locations of the chain in Bergen County and they just opened up in Dumont on Friday. This is definitely a great edition to town, stands out against all other cuisines. I had a chicken platter, chicken wings, and falafel. (1) The chicken platter is the best bang for your buck (only $7) and you get to choose what's in your salad if you order in-store. The chicken itself has a nice blend of spices, but that doesn't make it spicy. The white sauce is light and creamy and the hot sauce is HOT! A few drops puts some hair on your chest! (2) The chicken wings are small, but they are crispy and flavorful. (3) The falafel was great! Light and crispy, not too salty. A nice bite to complement your meal. Overall, I had a great experience at Gyro King and I recommend giving them a try if you want an affordable, tasty meal. read more

The rice platters are as you would expect and the prices are reasonable. I'm a regular customer but I'm starting to wonder about the sanitary conditions of the place. The floors are sticky and there's litter all over. I can't tell when the last time they mopped was and the staff are half masked and only wear gloves on one hand (sometimes). I'm starting to wonder if the kitchen is operating pursuant to health codes. I'm here at 7PM on a Thursday and they ran out of chicken. I wasn't told this when I ordered so now I'm stuck waiting 15-20 minutes pacing around the sticky floor writing a less than stellar review. At least the guy apologized for the wait. Gave them an extra star for that. read more

Okay, so if you're a regular eater of halal platters like myself, you tend to pick up on distinct differences between the various platter places. I've had chicken platters from all over--The Halal Guys, Kabab Paradise, and most recently this spot. For starters, this place has a huge parking lot which is a great convenience. We were there past midnight and the uber eats/doordash chimes were going off constantly--seems like I wasn't the only one that enjoyed the food here as customers are ordering on the phone nonstop. When it comes to the food, it is a little more unique. It has more of an East Asian palate of influence as opposed to the others. The curry makes it have a wonderful flavor! My friends and I absolutely devoured it! Also, you have more choices of salad-esque toppings--lettuce, olives, banana peppers and more. Think about it as Subway and The Halal Guys having a baby! Are you ready for the best part? The pricing is the moat competitive out of the places I go to--definitely the cheapest priced platter in the area. The most bang for your buck when it comes to late night platters! read more

Great food and good service. Only gyro restaurant I will ever go to. Gyros,platters, burgers. I've tried everything there and it never disappoints. Naim, the manager is the best. I couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

Lamb gyro is tasty. Chicken Tiki is delicious with chunks of real chicken meat. Prices are reasonable (about $10 per entree). Mostly take out customers, but they do have a few tables so you can eat there. We order there almost every Friday. Large salad fixings (i.e., chickpeas, olives, tomatoes, lettuces, pickles, cucumbers), but go early before they run out. read more

This is the best take out restaurant in Dumont. A welcomed change from the Chinese and Pizza spots locally. The portion sizes are huge, and are great value for money. One platter with a large fries would easier serve two adults. We love this place and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food is made fresh, which lots of salad topping options and yummy sauce. Nice work guys!! read more

I've been a big fan of platters, so as a long time dumontian, this was a very welcomed addition to the town. The guys are friendly, they have great and affordable options, and the platters and falafels are delish. Whether you're looking for some culinary diversity in the area, or a great spot for platters without having to drive far, this is your place. Warning, the hot sauce is HOT! read more

The gyros was pretty good I guess that's what you order from a place called Gyro king. But why put some thing on the menu that is subpar. Save your money and dont order a burger And opt for more of the traditional dishes read more

I'm so iffy on trying new places when it comes to chicken and rice. I'm very picky, because with many places the saltiness is just too much for me. This place was amazing. The chicken was so tender and delicious. I tried one bite and couldn't stop eating it - hence the picture lol. They give you an option to make your salad on the side with different toppings. The lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes added a freshness to the meal which didn't make it feel as heavy. Can't wait to go back! read more

Such a great local place! We ordered food online in their website and it was ready in the exact time we requested. They are so reasonably priced and it's definitely worth every penny. We ordered the chicken and lamb platter and a side of falafel. They give you so much food per platter. We all had so much leftovers. Absolutely delicious! Concerning the current pandemic safety - all the staff wear masks and gloves. They require customers to wear masks as well. There is no dining in. You order your food for take out. They provided us extra sauces, utensils, and napkins when requested. They were very friendly and kind. I recommend this place to everyone! I will absolutely be going again. read more

Great welcome. Well lit and good vibes on the way in. Food was plentiful and tasty. We were hoping for one of these to open and happy to see it was as good as we had hoped. We will become regulars for sure. read more

Very slow service. My Uber delivery person was waiting over 30 minutes. They started cooking after she told them she was there to pick up. How long does it take to cook up halal food? Those carts are turning around one per minute! read more

This place is Super dirty. It's Disgusting. Just look at their bathroom. Do not recommend

This place opened and started out great with friendly staff eager to help. Far cry from those days. Food is pretty average for halal and large portions though. However, staff is completely rude, take your order immediately then have you waiting while they cater to carry out, door dash orders. Not to mention the odor that's hits you when you first walk in as if the place had never been cleaned. And to speak of cleanliness......? No consideration taken to update and change the layout before opening an anxiously awaited halal chicken/lamb fast food eatery in the area. read more
