I have no picture at all of my food I ate because it was so good. I tore that falafel Gyro up. Their food is very fresh. My friend had got a meat platter. The meat was so tender. It was juicy. They cut them up and small pieces. It was definitely worth it. Well organized. They get your food in and out and very fill-in. I do recommend this place. You could also sit down and have dinner there it's not just Take out the people that served me was very caring, considerate and patient. I really appreciate the food there and the service.

Gyro Sandwich

Gyros are one of my favorite comfort foods and of the gyros I've tried around New York City, Gyro World is the place that keeps me coming back for more consistently. The quality of the food is apparent and my only regret after any visit is that I can't help myself and wind up eating my meal all in one sitting when the sensible thing to do would be to split the generous portions throughout at least 2-3 meals. A massively full stomach is the price you pay for top-notch ingredients, fast and friendly service and a no-frills operation. In addition to the gyros I'm a big fan of Gyro World's chicken souvlaki and always save room for desserts like their delectable rice pudding or their addictive orange cake.

Would've been a 4 but we had an awkward service experience. Came here for the "Yelp Gyro" and it was honestly pretty decent. The hummus spread that they put on it gave it a unique taste. I'd definitely suggest grabbing some tzatziki on the side because they didn't give me any when I ordered. Also ordered the calamari and I'm surprised as how fantastic it was. I'd definitely go there again just to order that and grab some pita on the side as well! (Maybe not the gyro but I'm not a gyro with fries type of guy, but maybe I would've enjoyed it more if there was more sauce). Service was good in the beginning until we tried to go back and put in an order for calamari as well. The young lady didn't seem to understand what we were trying to do and instead of asking for help she just kept asking us if we paid. Even printed out a random $39 order that we didn't place at all (idk why she did that and we literally said we only ordered a Yelp gyro lol). Ambiance is okay I guess, it's a gyro spot lol def stop in for lunch though. Grab that calamari for sure.

Overall, Gyro World is a neighborhood gem for anyone looking for good food that's affordable. It's perfect for solo meals, family gatherings, or even takeout. The front of the restaurant is not waited on and there are signs that say you need to go order from the counter. The back of the restaurant seems to have table service. The atmosphere is relaxed, with casual vibe. The staff is friendly and efficient, The food is served pretty quickly even during busy hours. My greek salad with grilled chicken was good as was the beef/lamb gyro. My usual "go to" is their lemon avgolemono soup - yum!

Good food and service as usual. Have raised prices but offer plenty. Sign up that table service may resume soon.

Lunch Box

Came in around lunch time and stumbled upon this place. We both got the chicken souvlaki lunchbox special. The presentation is super convenient & cute!! You do get the option to change your sides; lemon potatoes, rice or French fries (+1$). The chicken itself is quite tender and the fries did not disappoint. The white taziki sauce was more on the chunky side, but I didn't mind it. The service was patient with us, they are definitely strong on the "providing customer service" as they were very bright and passionate. (You can just tell :)) I would like to try other things on the menu soon when I'm around the area. Keep up the good service & yummy food.

we frequent this place and usually order their large gw platter that feeds up to 8 people. it comes with (beef & lamb gyro, pork gyro, bifteki, chicken bifteki, pork souvlaki, chicken souvlaki, & loukaniko, served with pita & tzatziki). it's great for gatherings and everyone gets a full plate full of food.

Menu

I came here with my daughter who wanted a Gyro sandwich so bad and I was unsure about what I was gonna be able to get being that I do not eat meat. The place itself is spacious and there is also outdoor seating tables and benches available. There is street parking and possibly parking in the back I am unsure about this. The staff and service overall was nice so here's the way it works you order your food in the front you pick a table and they bring you your food when it's ready simple. I did ask a staff member that was at the register to help me along with the menu to better understand what I was going to be ordering . So for my daughter, I did order a chicken Gyro and a side of fries. There were three options of chicken and I went with his choice since they're made in three different ways. For myself, I ordered a fish sandwich now he did mention that he probably would not recommend this item but I still wanna have an ordered it and I am 100% happy with my decision. The fish sandwich came with two fried pieces of fish, lettuce, tomato on a bun and a side of tartar sauce. The sandwich was a great size, but I just realized from having the sandwich that I've never had a real fish sandwich. The sandwich is highly recommended. I ordered sautéed onions and peppers to go on top of the sandwich because I really like onions and peppers. However, the sandwich was fine just the way that it came, I absolutely cannot wait to return to have this sandwich again.

I was in the area and been craving for Greek food since it's been a while. GyroWorld is Mediterranean fare and when you walk in, you're immediately greeted by the wafting smell of gyro and romantic Greek music playing overhead (I had no clue what the lyrics are saying but it sounded very romantic to me). This location happened to be a block from where I parked so it was quite convenient considering it was below 30°F outside at the time and I didn't want to be walking any further than that in the cold. It was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday (only one table of customers). I've been having a hard time finding pork gyro in this part of Queens - most places either tell me they don't serve it or had sold out for the day. I was so glad that GyroWorld has it! The girl at the counter seemed only a few years younger than me and was great at customer service. She strongly insisted I didn't need to tip since I'm ordering to-go and before I could say anything, she pressed "skip" on the tip screen for me. Personally, I tip regardless of whether I dine in or not so even though it was too late to do it on my card, I gave her a tip in cash (especially because she was so sweet and truly wasn't asking for anything; I just hope that others would do the same). I also really wished I had found this place sooner because just look at the packaging!! It's like an adult Greek happy meal!! My inner child was so excited seeing this. The pork was so flavorful - even the charred bits - and the sides paired so beautifully with it. I finished every morsel of food in that box (minus the olive - I'm not a fan of olives) and it kept me full the whole night. I will definitely be returning.

All I can say is WOW ! If I lived near this place, I would be here frequently…read more We walked in on the early side.... before any kind of rush...and we had the restaurant to ourselves. There's a lovely rustic, yet high end vibe. It's also immaculate. Our server was fantastic...just the right balance of friendly, attentive and helpful. It was hard to choose appetizers because I actually wanted one of each. There aren't a lot of Mediterranean choices near where I live currently so my eyes were definitely WAY bigger than my stomach. That said, we shared the halloumi and three different dips served with warm pita. Then we added a last minute choice of grilled sweet sausage for my stepdad. Before we even received our appetizers, they brought a lovely pile of warm pita with delicious sides to accompany: olives, white bean spread, and red pepper hummus (I believe... whatever it was, it was delicious!). The appetizers were outstanding and it was really hard to pick a favorite. Each one of the dips was delightful: taramasalata, hummus, and eggplant. I tasted a bite of the sausage and I understood why my stepdad enjoyed it so much (perfectly cooked and just the right amount of seasoning). The appetizers were new to my mom and she truly enjoyed everything. Her main course was crabcakes and she raved about those as well. I chose the Souvlaki with a side of grilled vegetables and it was exactly what I wanted with perfectly spiced and not overcooked cubes of chicken. The other grilled chicken dish got a huge thumbs up...and that's from a super picky eater. We topped everything off by sharing a large piece of cake that was very decadent....and even though I love chocolate,.... no way I could've finished it by myself. It had an Oreo crust and the rest was a rich chocolate mousse. Next time? Baklava. Looking forward to going back to visit the fam and enjoying Maria's again. Maybe they can open up a location near Saratoga? Just saying...

Outstanding food and fabulous service. Came for dinner with…read morefriends on a weeknight and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the scallops, Bronzino, chicken shish kebab, and lamb shish kebab--each served with lemon potatoes and a fresh Greek salad. The portions were huge and perfect for sharing. We even brought home enough for another delicious meal. For dessert, we shared their signature baklava with blueberries and a scoop of homemade ice cream. Always exceptional. The servers were attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. A lovely evening all around with consistently fabulous food.

They care about their patrons and do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. The decor is simple and uncluttered. Just the right amount of art and adornments, without feeling suffocated. My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

He was feeling like Greek food, and suggested Mythos based off the positive experiences he's had here in the past. This sounded great, so off we went. Mythos is a pretty spacious restaurant - the dining room is very open with tables scattered throughout the space. The chairs are kinda big and I would argue that it was a little cumbersome navigating the tables but overall not too bad. The kitchen is semi-open with a display case separating it from the dining room that looks like it holds food to be prepared. Their menu is pretty extensive without being overwhelming - all of the Greek staples were there. We were started with their house-made bread that came with black-eyed peas and some hummus. This was delicious, so much that we ordered dips as an app to complement the bread more mmm. We also started with the halloumi and a slice of spanakopita. The halloumi had a somewhat unique preparation - I'm used to a single slab that's maybe complemented with a sauce that I would need to slice. Instead, these were pre-sliced and placed on top of pita complemented with tomato and cucumber. This was delicious, all the flavors and textures worked well together. The spanakopita was really tasty - it was a healthy slice that we were able to share and again, super flavorful. For my main, I went with the garides mikrolimano which were shrimp prepared in a red wine-ish sauce, some feta, and served over rice. This was delicious - the sauce had layers of flavor and served as a great vehicle to unite the shrimp and the rice. Service was fine - we were taken care of promptly and food came out at a good pace. It was a little impersonal but I kind of expected that - I wouldn't go into this restaurant thinking you'll be getting an experience when it comes to the service - just straight to the point. Overall though, I thought the food at Mythos was excellent and I had a great experience. I would hesitate to return for another meal.
