Sloppy gross cheese sauce on my falafel. Asked for tzatziki and hummus only

Asked for just tzatziki and hummus and they dumped a pile of cheese sauce on falafel. second time this has happened so they get an honest review with picture

Gyro Platter
Violet S.

The best gyros in Dc! Every time im in NW, I have to stop here & I tell everyone about it. The food is very filling, always fresh & not too expensive. The owner is super sweet. Clean space to eat indoor as well as chairs outside of the restaurant.

Spinakopita

Very friendly and attentive service, generous portions of good food, cute place. The food was made fresh and tasted great. Good salads too - no wilted lettuce. The only problem is the smell of a cleaning solution or maybe something else that comes in whiffs when you sit inside.

I was in a crunch in a weekday evening and needed dinner pronto. I came across this establishment on UberEats and decided to give them a try. Food: i ordered the Gyro Platter which came with tons of gyro meat, a rice pilaf, a salad, and one piece of pita cut into fours. The platter also came with a small tzatziki and a salad dressing. I also ordered fries. The gyro meat was good, standard gyro meat. The rice pilaf was bland and mushy in my opinion. The salad, though the toppings were good, the lettuce was a sad iceberg. I didn't eat the rice but everything else was decently edible and enjoyable. I received a bunch of fries. A whole bag full, but they were cold. I was too hungry to warm them up in the oven before eating. 6/10 Value: the gyro platter was $21 and the fries were $7. I would say the value for the platter was pretty good because there really was a lot of meat. I wish the salad could have hand a slightly higher quality of lettuce. The value for the fries was good. I just wish they hadn't been cold. 7/10 Overall: I probably won't be back, not because the food is bad, but because it wasn't particularly good. 6.5/10

Gyro Pita
Amelia D.

While exploring U St, I spotted a little shop on 11th called The Greek Spot and immediately knew I'd found my lunch plans for the day (I mean, who wants to cook on a rainy Saturday afternoon?) I was the only one in there when I went in, which would normally worry me, but (1) it was raining, and (2) it was like 3:00 pm, so hardly a normal meal time. I ordered the gyro pita with fries inside and then sat around for about 10 minutes while my order was made. The wait was reassuring that they were making my order fresh, and they were also playing a great playlist of songs that were top hits from approximately 2013. An incredible vibe. Got my food, went home, and even after the walk, the wrap was so good! A generous portion for the price (surprisingly affordable food for DC), the gyro was tender, the fries weren't soggy (and well worth an extra $1), and the sauce was nice and creamy to cut the density of the meat and fries.

Gyro Pita French Fries
Shantal W.

A hole in the wall joint with extremely high quality, fresh food! I love that everyone I come my food is made to order and so hot! Because it's so fresh, call ahead to order or make sure you have a few minutes to spare to wait for you food and then enjoy! I ordered the gyro pita and French fries. Make sure to ask for half feta cheese, half tzatziki sauce for your gyro. You can thank me later. It makes all the difference. The meat is cut thin and is extremely tender. The whole sandwich practically melts in your mouth! And the French fries!!!! Do not come here without ordering French fries!!!! They're a thick cut which I don't normally like but the way they fry and season them is absolutely everything!!! It's a new favorite lunch spot for me. Can't wait to go back soon!

Gyro Pita

i think this would be more of a 3.5/5 but it was overall a good spot. Ordered through grubhub and it was ready very quickly. Easy pickup. Meat was good but it was very feta forward and little to no tzatziki (at least it felt like). The tomatos/onions were not as tasty/fresh as I wanted. It was still enjoyable, and I like the vibe of the place -- off of U Street, seems like a local spot but maybe not my favorite gyro. Also ended up being a bit more expensive than I anticipated for just a basic gyro - over $16.

We ordered mushroom kapnista, Halloumi pide, zaatar pide, htipiti and everything was so delicious. I'm not sure if I enjoyed the combination of dates and mushrooms together but really loved the smoky mushroom by itself. I was also very impressed with the Zaatar pide, it was cheesy and delicious.

I'm getting better at this! LOL Service was great from the moment we walked in. The ambiance at Zaytinya is exactly what you want from a José Andrés restaurant: light‑filled, contemporary, and buzzing with life. High ceilings, blue‑and‑white tones, and a chic Mediterranean aesthetic make it feel like a getaway in the middle of D.C. It's vibrant, social, and perfect for lingering over mezze crafted under Chef José Andrés' vision. I met another Yelp foodie here so that was a real treat! I love my Yelpies! Let's get into it with one sentence.... Come try this place out! It's taken me months to post this because this girl eats out way too much. For my fellow Yelpers if you haven't already tried, you're missing out! Thank me later! Cheers!

Croquetas creamy chorizo fritters, saffron aioli 16 - least favorite, couldn't really identify the chorizo very strongly - it was just a creamy croqueta - just ok. We ended with the labneh pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. It was ok. Not my favorite but pumpkin seeds on top were tasty and crunchy!

Lots to enjoy here…read more Food is excellent and for tapas style the portion sizes lean in the large direction. Prices are very reasonable for DC and the quality. Loved the kefta lamb skewer. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The piquillo tahini and sumac onions added more flavor punch. The hummus was exceptional. Strong tasty chickpea and garlic flavors balanced by lemon and dill. The pickled turnips presented in a flower shape was a nice touch. Service was excellent. Reservations via Open Table.

We chose outdoor seating…read morewithout seeing it, I had previously seen pictures of the inside and assumed the outdoor vibes would be just as fun and vibey. I was very wrong. It was literally in the alley, and was giving Covid setup. Definitely would not recommend the outdoor area to anyone. There was no music, the decor was fine but again, looked very subpar and you could tell everyone else that arrived and sat outside after us had the same thoughts. Now to the food. I will say all of it was good, but for the price? I could find another Middle Eastern adjacent restaurant in DC for less money. It was a little outrageous in my opinion. We did choose the tawle experience. The dips with good, and came with endless flatbread. But it was interesting how some of the portions were huge and then others felt like they were skimping. We got huge portions of pickled vegetables and a giant salad, but then when it came to the shrimp kabobs we ordered, we got 5 pieces of shrimp. I will say the steak portion we chose we large, but then again for dessert, it was just a half mason jar size of a chocolate mousse to split...It was just interesting. Several of the staff knew it was our anniversary and they could've given maybe an additional dessert or a glass of champagne but nothing. Again for a restaurant of this caliber, you would just expect more. I say all of this to say, we did have a gift card that covered most of our $300+ meal. But if I were going without that, I would've been even more disappointed. I know people have raved about this place for years, but the original chefs have changed, and I'm understanding more why they've lost their Michelin star. It was good/fine but was far from exceptional.

My fiancé and I got the Tawle dinner option which incorporates multiple dishes to be shared.

With regards to parking, the closest garage is like ~8 min walking distance so I mean it's not bad.
