Coming from NY, I was extremely excited to try NY Gyro King. Chicken over rice is one of my favorite dishes, and after seeing it recommended on Yelp, I saved it as a must-try. Unfortunately, I left really disappointed. The plate was just bland--there wasn't much flavor, which was surprising given the name. I had pretty high expectations, and it just didn't live up to them. On a positive note, the service was nice. The cashier was friendly and even offered additional sauces free of charge, which I appreciated. However, they didn't include any pita bread with the order, which I was expecting. Another downside was the 3.5% charge for using a credit card, which felt unnecessary. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend it--not because of the service, but because the food itself lacked flavor. I probably wouldn't go back, but I'll definitely keep searching for a better chicken over rice spot. read more

Great place to grab a quick bite. Food is good service is good. This is our go to a last minute quick bite fast and fresh.

PROs - good food (meat) , good service , nice location CONs- not much for veggie lovers First timer .. good location... right on oak tree and park ave . Lots of other shops in this strip mall. Lots of parking ... gets busy on weekends and peak hours .. they also sell baklava and few other sweets ... We ordered gyros .. we also asked for extra meat . So the quantity was really good . We saw them prepare the chicken gyro and it was just awesome . Meat was juicy and tasted perfect . Goes well with rice , salad ... kids liked it . There was felafel but very limited options for veggie lovers. Lots of place to sit and dine . Overall a good spot for a quick lunch.. priced good . read more

Absolutely the best halal food restaurant in the area. The chicken beats the beef in quality, but I still enjoy the mix platter. read more

Just thought i should let you know if you look past the counter you can see construction equipment specifically "Husky" brand drywall/taping knifes being used to cut chicken, lamb, and bread on the stove. These drywall taping knifes do not use kitchen grade steel or silicone and is lining your food with chromium and melted plastic. not that i have to say it but chromium and plastic cause cancer. If you dont believe me see for yourself or maybe ask. If you've been eating their sorry but maybe you shouldn't anymore... no i didn't sneak photos like a weirdo. These photos are provided by the restaurants own pages. Amazing... read more

Clean restaurant and friendly staff. I had the lamb gyro. It was flavorful with fresh vegetables. They don't put fries on theirs, it may have been available upon request. It delivered a tasty punch. When I think of one of the best gyros I have had at Think Grill, no longer here, I would give this one a 6.8 out of 10. Definitely recommend. read more

Wow!! I have driven past this place time & time again & today was the day I stopped. I have been on a real Gyro kick lately & have had about 1 a week from different places. I jokingly said 'Gyro King' better live up to the name.....& they did. This Gyro (lamb/beef) just put everyone to shame, including my usual "go-to." I've been adding seasoning to them to get them to where I like, but this gyro did not need ANY help. It was perfect on its own. I'm so glad I stuck to my usual taking a few bites without any sauce/seasoning (depending on what it is). This is my NEW Go-To spot!! I'm so glad to have "found" this place I've been driving past for Years, lol. read more

Now named "Taj Gyro and Grill" Clean and quick service. You'll get a classic chicken over rice experience with a lot of bang for your buck, without any of the street cart greasiness or taste of being spoiled. It's not gourmet but it's a cut above your average fast food situation. The rice is fragrant and tender, the meat is quite flavorful even without the sauce. I loved that they have fresh smoothies available, with plenty of flavors including rose! The mango pineapple was the perfect balance to the rich chicken and beef over rice. read more

Stopped by recently to grab some lunch. I ordered the falafel sandwich and my boyfriend got the gyro platter. Once I got home I realized that I didn't receive my salad. My sandwich was good, I wish I would have asked for some white sauce on the side. I tried my boyfriends gyro platter and it was flavorful. The portion was pretty generous. read more

Good spot for a rice platter. Got the chicken platter with salad. Pretty good portion size for $9. The chicken was very flavorful and the rice was cooked perfect (soft & seasoned well). The veggies for the small side salad were very fresh as well. Nice and simple platter. They do a cash discount. I didn't see the totals getting ringed up but it seemed to be about 5%. The guy working behind the counter was very friendly and didn't mind when I asked for extra lettuce for my salad. Great customer service. Suggestion : Get the sauce on the side for many reasons : 1) Gauge how spicy it is, can dip & try first 2) Does make the salad soggy when mixed in 3) If you have leftovers, stays longer without the sauce Enjoy!!!!! read more

HMS Certified It is now called Taj Grill & Gyro Main reason I came here was because of the HMS halal certification. I got a chicken and lamb platter. I customize mine for less rice and double the chicken. It was pretty good. They have plenty of sauces to choose from. They have other things on the menu. Menu is a little all over the place, but I'd stick with the classic mixed platter. Service is solid and they have decent seating inside. Ambiance is a of a quick little grab and ho with basic seating if you decide to dine in "no frills". Exactly what you would expect from a spot like this. Overall solid spot, I'll be back iA. read more

I love gyro king have frequented many (Brooklyn, Paterson, Bloomfield) . I've been here FEW TIMES as well, thinking each time is a dud. But the quality here is completely subpar to rest, the meat is never filled like others, regardless the meat is always dry, so you don't want any. If you Uber, they never put all the veggies. Everything just tastes old, and you never get enough sauce to try to flavor it. I'll make the drive to other ones for my platter fix read more

Great chicken gyros. Great sauce . Simply good eats. Surprisingly great cakes! Not sure why they are so good but range between 8-10 on scale with my wife kids and co workers. read more

Lamb gyro is bland, fresh veggies, pita could be toasted longer; baklava is sweet, good combo of pastry, nuts, honey. Recommend for baklava only. read more

So good! Fresh, tasty, and quick delivery. Awesome quality and portion for a reasonable price. Definitely will not disappoint!

Really good customer service and delicious gyro plate, Super satisfied would definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Although I've had better halal. This is a solid place considering the area it's in with not many options. The host provided me with solid options to fulfill my needs since it was my first time. Can't wait to go there again. read more

Good portion of food. Portion is slightly larger than NJ Halal Bowls in Edison, NJ. The lamb is similar tasting to Halal Bowls. You mostly get rice and a little bit of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and your choice of protein. White sauce tastes like most Halal places do. Dining area is not that large, and dining in is not currently allowed because of COVID-19. Prices are slightly lower than NJ Halal Bowls. NY Gyro King is acceptable for today's Halal food. It is a decent option if you want Halal. read more

We love this place! No fuss, very straight forward..rice or salad and pick your meat.We love getting the gyro rice platter withour pickles n olives. Price is very reasonable and the staff is always nice and polite! We get food here atleast once a week! read more

Always wanted to try this place. Finally did and glad that I did. Their food is so fresh and tastes clean!! Walking in its clean and the staff are super friendly. They have a new guy in training who was super friendly and eager to learn. I got the gyro salad platter and the gyro rice platter. Everything tasted fresh and clean and homemade. White sauce was really good -- not too thick like the Halal Guys' white sauce. Hot sauce was good too.. got the not too hot sauce as my tolerance isn't quite up there yet. It was too good that I forgot to take photos because of my hunger lol This tastes a bit different than Halal Guys. Halal Guys are great too.. it's just that this one tastes more home made and I like that. The servings are great. I was able to have leftovers the next day and it still tasted great!! Will be ordering from them again and will recommend! So glad I found a really good and close halal place!! :) read more

Horrible service today! I called in my order ahead of time. When I arrived to pickup my order, they hadn't even started my order. There were at least three or four people behind the counter no one acknowledged me as I stood there at the counter. The restaurant was empty all but one table! One of them finally asked if he could help me as if he didn't hear me the first time I stated that I was there to pick up my order. I told him for the second time that I came to pick up my order. He looked around as if bewildered. I left! read more

Saw this place was new as I drove by once. Me & my husband wanted to get takeout & I said well how about a platter from gyro King? He said where is it? I told him & we went together. First I gotta say as soon as we entered it was so clean! Walked over to the counter & they welcomed us & the staff was so very pleasant & nice! Excellent customer service I already knew before tasting the food this place is good because of how nice & tentative the guy was! When we got home and ate the food it was delicious so fulling & a huge serving! We definitely will be back!! read more

Definitely not what I expected. The chicken is well cooked, but the white sauce and hot lacked significant spice. Also, the brown rice really didn't go well with the overall dish. Not an authentic NY cart experience if that's what you're expecting when you go here. read more

Great food... Honest people, Accidentally handed the owner 2 $20 bills and he gave 1 back with a smile and a joke.

Great service and extremely clean when handling food preparation (coming from a vegetarian). Falafel rice platter was great. Could use some more flavor but otherwise was a great meal with huge portions for the price point. read more

Ordered falafel and chicken sandwich on two seperate ocassions and both the times taste was consistent and good.

Legit n tasty halal food cart food! And I like that I don't have to go all the way to NYC! Easy ordering on yelp through grubhub. I recommend the dish they have a pic posted of, the chicken, gyro, and falafel over rice. Don't forget the white sauce! Planning to be a regular here! read more

Reminds me so much of halal carts in NYC. Sooo good would highly recommend the chicken and gyro over rice. I will get the hot sauce directly added next time! read more

Food was great. They made everything fresh and it showed in the taste. Very impressed for their care in the food product and hoping that continues as they undoubtedly become more popular in the area.

Picked up a couple of platters to share for lunch. Pleasantly pleased with quality of food and the staff. Overall great meal. Thanks

Newly opened, in the same complex as the Shop Rite and Wendys. Nice owner, great food, big portions. Try their extra hot hot sauce!

Great service! They messed up my order and brought me a fresh one no questions asked. I'll be ordering again real soon! Delicious

Drove ye shopping center recently and noticed this place. Tried it today for lunch. So delicious. I got a chicken rice platter. The quantity was large, enough for 2 meals or a heavy one meal. The salad started fresh. The chicken was great. I saw they were making it on the grill. The pieces were clean, didn't have bites with chunks of fat which was good. Overall will certainly return here and try the other options suck as their gyro and even tilapia which seems intriguing! read more
