My family and I were on our way to Coney Island, we were looking for a quick bite to eat, we…read morethought we would get donor kebabs in a wrap. This restaurant came up as highly recommended. 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.

Based on the recommendation of my chiropractor, I had lunch here earlier this week. Our server from…read moreMoldavia was friendly and attentive and suggested I try their most popular dish - the lamb lulya kebab which is ground lamb that is not overly spiced to allow one to taste the meat. It is served with rice and I found it to be a lighter than its Turkish equivalent. It was served with rice. We also ordered Turkish bread that was served warm. The dining area is comfortable and welcoming. Because this restaurant is set back from the Coney Island Avenue next to a liquor store it is easy to miss - but don't - it's excellent!

I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.

I got what was supposed to be the combination platter of chicken gyro (half portion) - but I should've known because it seems to be A LOT to just be a 1/2 (there is a differencein pricing b/w the two that I chalked it up to misunderstanding). But nonetheless, it was really good AND I had left overs for dinner & lunch the next day. So that's always a in my book. Before the meal, you are given pitta bread, olives in oil as well as a white and red sauce (red is spicy). The service was pretty good - you weren't rushed AND the busser came to fill the glass of water w/o you having to ask. I sat outside so I didn't really get a vibe of the place but I'll definitely visit again and sit inside to get a better feel of the place

The food is good, I found the prices for most of the items to be on the high side. They have a good wine selection, salads, pastas, Greek specialities appetizers, deserts and mains. I am not one that usually talks about the price of a dish although the 2 chicken skewers in platter with fries seemed high at $25 or $26 seems high. The food was good but not the best Greek food I've had. I would recommend them although it you have any wine or liquor with your meal I would say your bill will be north of $150 for two people.

Came back twice since so that tells you something. I always get the chicken gyro. It's juicy, actually seasoned, not that dry rubbery chicken you get at some of these places. She does the bowl and builds it however she wants that day, and the portion is honestly too much food. I'm not complaining but I couldn't finish mine and I usually finish everything. Everything tastes fresh. Like made when you order it, not sitting there all afternoon. Price is good. Really good actually for the amount you get. Comes out fast too, even when there was a few people in line. Place is clean, kinda modern inside, nice enough to sit and eat. The staff is what really got me though. Guy behind the counter was so nice both times, explained the whole menu when I had no idea what I wanted and didn't make me feel rushed at all.

Never again! I ordered from MeatUp Gyro for the first time…read morelast night, and unfortunately, both the food and the customer service were incredibly disappointing. While the food itself was mediocre, the customer service experience was what ultimately guaranteed that I will never order from here again. I ordered through Grubhub, and the biggest issue is that their Grubhub menu does not match their actual menu. According to Grubhub, both of the dishes I ordered came with two side sauces at no additional charge. I ordered four sauces total and received none of them. The appetizer was supposed to come with tzatziki sauce, which was missing.The bowl was supposed to come with Chicken, Beef and Lamb (according to GrubHub), there was no Lamb. The falafel sandwich was listed as coming with chopped salad, Korean cucumbers, pickled onions, romaine, and hummus. I specifically ordered it without the romaine and hummus, but wanted everything else. Instead, I received a pita with nothing but smashed falafel balls and tahini inside - tahini which I specifically said I wanted on the side only. I also paid $10 for a soup that I expected to be a decent-sized portion, but received what amounted to a very small container that was not worth the price. At that point, I was already unhappy with the order, but things got 100 times worse when I called the restaurant. I don't know the name of the person who answered, but his behavior was completely unacceptable. He was rude, argumentative, sarcastic, repeatedly interrupted me, told me I was wrong and didn't know what I had ordered, and made absolutely no effort to listen or apologize. I kept trying to explain that their Grubhub menu clearly stated that these items came with certain ingredients and sauces. As the restaurant, it is their responsibility to make sure their online menu accurately reflects what they actually serve. It is not the customer's responsibility to somehow know that the restaurant's own Grubhub menu is incorrect. What should have been a simple, "I'm sorry, let us make this right," turned into a horrible phone call with both of us raising our voices, constantly arguing, and me ultimately having to hang up. I did receive a call back shortly afterward saying they would bring me all of the missing sauces, more soup, and a properly made sandwich within about 20 minutes. That was all I wanted in the first place. The manager, Salim, personally delivered the replacement order to my house and apologized for what happened. I told Salim that, at that point, the food wasn't even the biggest issue anymore. The way I was treated on the phone was what left such a bad impression. One poor customer service interaction can completely ruin an otherwise fixable situation. As a customer service supervisor myself, I understand that dealing with complaints isn't always easy. Customers can be upset, and mistakes happen. But there is a right way and a wrong way to handle a customer complaint, and unfortunately, my experience with MeatUp Gyro was handled the wrong way. The food was mediocre in the end and not worth the time or money. The best part of the meal was honestly the garlic sauce, and I do appreciate that Salim personally came to my home to make things right. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage had already been done. One customer who will never return.

When it's not packed though, there's actually a decent amount of seating. They also clearly renovated the space; the restaurant and even the bathrooms looked really clean and modern with nice tile work. I ordered both the chicken shawarma and the lamb/beef shawarma platter. The chicken was excellent; juicy, flavorful, and definitely the standout. The lamb/beef was decent, but a little tough for my taste. The rice was okay, nothing special. I also got the shepherd salad, which was clearly fresh, but it had cilantro in it, which caught me off guard since that's not typical in most shepherd salads I've had. A little label or warning would go a long way; or preferably a small cilantro-free version for people like me lol. I ended up coming back again to try the chicken shawarma sandwich, this time with just tomatoes on their homemade bread, and honestly that was amazing. The bread came out hot with a crispy exterior and really made the sandwich stand out. The staff was warm and friendly both times I went, which definitely added to the experience. Portion sizes aren't huge for the price, but they're still reasonable overall. Definitely worth trying, especially the chicken and the homemade bread.

I went on a Monday evening and the place was fairly packed considering it was a weeknight. The space itself has your typical fast casual vibe.

That title still goes to Tashkent in my opinion.
