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.

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!

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.

An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

People fishing for compliments is the worst right??? But RESTAURANTS fishing for compliments?…read more Perfection, apparently. I was in the neighborhood for a couple days for work and this shop was only two blocks away. Two things I love- a good sub and a short walk - so it's automatic for me. As long as you're ok dropping $25 on lunch, don't miss this place. Honestly you can probably make this a two part lunch/dinner portion anyway. The subs are big. The toppings are plenty. The bread is perfect. They have my favorite like of drinks, Just Iced Tea, and even Utz Salt and Pepper chips. The music is good but unfortunately no one around to give you any flash art tattoos which seems like a missed opportunity given their decor.

Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

The Portfino sandwich hit the spot and bursting with flavor in every bite! The sandwich was stuffed with a heap of veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, arugula) with goat cheese and topped with lemon aioli, delicious! The Monaco roasted veggie sandwich is very flavorful! The sandwich was stuffed with fried eggplant, grilled zucchini, stracciatella, tomato, arugula and roasted red pepper spread. The Parmigiano sandwich with eggplant was more like a Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese, greens, tomato, and crispy thinly sliced eggplant stuffed between scrumptious moist Focaccia bread. This isn't a traditional sloppy Joe's Eggplant Parm sandwich (there's no marinara sauce!) While the ingredients were neatly tucked inside and I enjoyed the sandwich, the sandwich particularly was a little bit dry and I think a bit of sauce like pesto or marinara would go a long way. The Nutella Brownie is best eaten at room temperature, it tastes chewy and pretty awful cold. Let it thaw. Note the sandwich shop is now open Mon - Sun 10am - 4pm (it used to be open Wed - Sun and I made the mistake of walking over a mile from work on Tues when it was closed!

My husband got the Piccata sandwich, which is a chicken mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich on focaccia bread. This sandwich was honestly a 10 out of 10. It was savory, umami and a little sweet from the caramelized onions. The chicken was really juicy and flavorful--not at all dry. I got the Caprese sandwich which was good, but it could really use a bit of salt. If it was an option to add Bacon, I would've definitely done that. I also wish that they used heirloom tomatoes instead of regular Roma tomatoes. Overall, really great sandwich options and a great place for lunch in the city.
