Good frozen yogurt!! Love the flavors, super light and delicious and fresh. Perfect for a warm day. Service is very nice and fast.
Absolutely LOVE The Gyro Project. I've been to their other locations. This spot is conveniently located a few blocks from Penn Station and MSG. They have lot of seating but I've noticed a lot of people grab and go The lamb gyro is loaded. Tons of meat, had to ask for extra tzatziki. Service wasn't great as I asked the guy for a gyro and he told me I had to wait. Waited for like 10 mins and watched him help a bunch of people behind me. And it was all because he didn't want to slice more gyro meat. Overall the freshness and quality is delicious but they DEF need to work on their customer service. I've also had their cookies and they're incredible
My service here was very quick. This location, unlike its Hell's Kitchen counterpart, functions like a Greek-style Chipotle, with some limits on how much you can add to your bowl. I basically built a chicken souvlaki bowl with spicy feta cheese and roasted potatoes. It was excellent. The crunchy, cool vegetables paired well with the warm rice and potatoes, the zesty cheese and lemon, and the juicy grilled chicken. This hit the spot in every regard. The space is cozy and not very crowded. It feels like a hidden gem in the Penn Station area for quick-service dining. In a nutshell, if you enjoy places like Chipotle or CAVA, consider this location.
This gyro spot was super cute and vibey right from the start. The cashier was amazing, very informative and made ordering easy. The guys handling the food were kind, patient, and welcoming, which always makes a difference. The restaurant is spacious, tidy and neat. Thats always a plus in my eyes as well. Once I got home and finally tried the food... wow. Everything was amazing and full of flavor. Super tasteful and satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else on the menu. 10/10 Highly recommend! Oh and one last thing, I'm obsessed with their logo.
I'm happy to have tried Gyro Project and now I know a great spot to eat near 34th Street. It is clean. There are some tables to sit and eat located in the back. The bathroom is clean (you need a code). Service was quick and friendly. I got the chicken souvlaki bowl with rice, potatoes, mediterranean salad, spicy feta and tzatziki. I also got a mini bougatsa for dessert. Everything was delicious. I the spicy feta was a little spicier than I've had elsewhere and I'm all for it. And it was the first time I had bougatsa and I'd definitely get it again.
While the atmosphere is good, the service is average, and the food is actually below average. The restaurant itself has decent seating in the back, and you go to the counter and order your food in a Chipotle-esque style. Service is average, nothing that great. The employee did not seem happy to be there. The main issue is that the food is below average. First of all, for the price you pay, you would think they would allow you to have more than two toppings on your bowl. However, they have strict rules, and do not let you get more than two toppings after you have your base and protein. For the base, they only give you a small scoop of rice that takes up about 1/20 of the entire container. The mixed greens are actually pretty good though. The real issue came with the chicken shawarma. It is extremely dry and tough to even chew. You will actually choke on it from how dry it is. The flavor is also very mild. I did like the few lemon potatoes and french fries that were in the bowl. The tzatziki sauce and the baba ghanoush are both pretty good dips as well as a finish. But for $16 plus tax and tip (so $20+), they really need to allow more free toppings per bowl that have marginal costs to the business like tomatoes and cucumbers. I also tried the spanakopita (spinach pie) which was very OK. Nothing exciting, nothing bad. But for nine dollars, I did expect a little more out of it. I am unsure how to feel about this restaurant chain's gimmicky point system. Every dollar is one point according to the employee, so you have to spend $100 to get a free soda, and it goes all the way up to spending $10,000 to get a one-way ticket to Greece. Depending on the time of year, you can get one-way tickets to Greece for under $350 if you book with an airline directly. Either way, I'm sure it will attract some people to their program. Overall, I think the food really missed the mark, and the customization is quite limited.
Omg! So excited this new Greek/Mediterranean style place opened in my building. So far have only tried breakfast but will definitely be back for lunch. The tsoureki French toast with sour cherry compote is delicious! Big portion too! Today picked up a breakfast sandwich and chatted with the lovely owner. He gave me a bougatsa to try. My coworkers have all been trying different things...so far everything is good.
Ah so excited for this location and the former Greek from Greece here was also excellent. The Gyro project makes destination worthy bowls and now it's even closer. I'm a huge fan of the salmon and by itself is $8. I also got a falafel bowl for $13 The transition is pretty perfect and between here & Tziki I'm set with amazing Greek grub.
Had gyro here and it was better than one I got in Astoria. The balance of ingredients and tzatziki sauce was on point
This spot opened up so close to my job and my coworkers were raving about it so I had to try it. So glad I did! I've been going ever since and on one of my recent visits for lunch they took a long time to make my sister and I's pitas (like 30 min). We ended up asking them what's taking so long and they told us they got a huge order and profusely apologized. They even made her a free latte and didn't make me pay for my sprite. They finally gave us our pitas and even offered 2 free desserts of our choosing! I had the chicken gyro with tzatziki and my sister got the chicken snitzel. She loved it soo much which made me relieved because we waited so long. Beyond excellent service from their time. I also learned they originated in NJ and I tried that location too! Equally as good.
Employees are quite friendly. I went on a really cold day so there weren't many people, but there is a decently sized seating area with outlets. Good serving size. I've been to a different location for their froyo which is also really good. It seems a bit random for a fast food place to specialize in dessert but it is in fact quite yummy and I would stop by for their froyo again if the mood struck
Got the chicken gyro platter and the red velvet cookie. The platter was huge. Plenty of chicken. The chicken was very tasty and not overly salty. The Mediterranean salad needs some dressing - maybe a bit of lemon/oil/vinegar? But the ingredients are very fresh. The cookie is very flavorful and big - again. I would come again. Service was fast and friendly. The place is also cute. Nice small tables. Really more like fast food but comfortable enough!
Wow! Why did I wait this long? Passed one many times but first time in. Planned lunch here before shopping at Macys. The people behind the counter were friendly, professional and looked like they enjoyed their work-food was delicious. Ordered a gyro bowl - chicken gyro, nice and tender with crispy edges, gigantes and lemon potatoes over Greek slaw - healthy and saved some calories for the tzatziki, tahini & pita! A great value. Got the Greek lemonade, which I love, but next time will have their Greek Mountain Tea - a Blue Zone secret! My order was ready and I thought, why is it in a bag - I tapped Dine In? Well TY, it was so plentiful I took half home for lunch tomorrow. Store was very pleasant, nice selection of Greek food products to purchase, great selection of dips, and the desserts looked really good - have to save room next time for that froyo! Efharisto! Approved by this Greek girl!!!
So I finally made it to The Gyro Project and I am really glad I did. I ordered the build your own pita and went with the chicken gyro, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was good, the pita was fresh, and everything inside just came together really nicely. Greens, tomato, red onion, a good sauce. Simple but done well. I also got a Coke and a dessert that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of, but it came in this adorable little jar and tasted like the best chocolate mousse I have ever had. Creamy, rich, and topped with chocolate shavings. That thing was so good it might have been the highlight of the meal, lol. The inside of the restaurant is really nice too. Marble tables, olive trees, striped booth seating. It is clean, well designed, and comfortable. You can tell they put real thought into how the space looks and feels. The service was really great as well. Everyone there was so helpful and kind. It made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!! read more

If you're a fan of Yogurtland (which I am), you will love the frozen yogurt here. More on the icy than creamy side and super tart compared to other spots. Service was a bit slow but our order was made right away upon request. No line, great frozen yogurt. Definitely want to come back to try their meals (and another frozen yogurt) read more

Visiting from Georgia and this place is so good I ate here twice for breakfast! Breakfast omelette with gyro meat, potatoes, onions and tomato's. They have an orange sauce with feta cheese in it and it's outstanding! The people here are amazing and even remembered my order from the day before! Highly recommend! I already dove in so, the picture isn't of the original portion size, which is huge! read more
The Gyro Project is a place I don't frequent often, but I'm never dissatisfied when I do pay a visit. In my experience, their food is the epitome of reliable Greek-/Mediterranean-style, with a wonderful blend of textures and flavors. For my main, I got the beef & lamb Gyro Platter; the meat was seasoned well and well-complemented by the pita and salad alongside the flavor of the side of fries. Additionally, we got some sides to try out: Grilled Haloumi, Greek Croquettes, and Spanakopita Spring Rolls. If the bunch, the Greek Croquettes stood out the most to me, especially considering the combination of the savory, creamy profile of the puffs themselves with the hot honey they provide to top them--I could see myself eating quite a few of them. All in all, I can confidently say that nothing has really changed: if you're looking for good Greek-style food, The Gyro Project ought to be one of your first stops. read more
