I'm going to keep this review short and sweet, in my opinion they have the freshest and most delicious Greek street food in town...I recommend the gyro tender plate with rice or French fries...but the French fries are so good and crispy!! My fav!! The service is always good and the atmosphere is cool!! You must check this place out!! P.S I've eaten here more times than I'd like to admit lol but it's worth it!! read more

Food is spot on delicious. Takeout is a huge portion of their business and seems to be their focus. We dined in & minimal attention and service is given. It's like in-house dining is an afterthought. That being said, the food was very good, but don't go eat there looking for any attention you're lucky you get a menu eventually food. Still it's very good but it also takes a while to get it. read more

The food is VERY fresh and the portions are sizable. The service is pretty quick. The place is small but clean with a small eating area. The food isn't anything really leaps and bounds over other gyro places in Astoria. It is also pretty expensive. A chicken gyro platter with salad and rice is about $25. And they charge you an extra $1.25 for white sauce which is a little outrageous, in my option. The staff is friendly though I will say that. read more

Stopped by BZ grill to grab lunch, and was pleasantly surprised by the portions and quality. I sat inside, and tried the classic gyro, bistek, and Greek fries. While the bistek was fun and unique in that there was melted cheese inside the meat, I found the classic gyro to be much tastier. Don't skip out on the Greek fries, as the cheese is crispy and salty, and is paired great with hot sauce. Not the most affordable spot, but it's good! read more

Tried this place 2 days in a row. First day, we tried the platter for 2 people, came with pork & chicken gyro and sausage/burger version with rice and it was good. Portion can be better though. Second day, tried the Chicken gyro sandwich and they added fries. Looked pretty huge but surprisingly light and delicious! Not a pretty long wait for orders to go since they make it fresh upon ordering, the staff always greets you and have been nice and friendly! read more

Disappointing that they don't have a lamb gyro. The meat in general is kind of dry. The pros are the big portions and their service is friendly. The space is clean and small, and I like that you can outside. read more

Came here after an appointment and not eating all day . I got the pork souvlaki platter it was so good it was all fresh and came to my table in 10 min . The meat was nice and charred the arranged salad was nice and fresh the cheese and the sauce was very flavorful. The place doesn't have any frills but definitely nice and clean and brightly lit . Servers are very nice and attentive asking if everything is alright occasionally. Everything was very good and I will definitely come back when in the neighborhood read more

BZ Grill - Souvlaki Pork (3 Skewers) platter - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

We stopped by after checking my dad out of the hospital in the city since he was famished and my uncle loves this place. We sat outside in the gorgeous fall weather and ordered three lunch specials (2 pork and 1 falafel). The server was super friendly and tended to us right away and our food was made pretty quickly. The pita was soft and stuffed to the gills with filling. The falafel was nice and hot and not spicy (I don't tolerate spice well and most places that offer falafel as an option are too spicy for me), and the lettuce and tomatoes were nice and fresh. There was the perfect amount of tzatziki on it as well where it complemented the flavors without overpowering everything. And the fries...omg the fries. Love love love! Crispy almost like battered fries with a nice chewy center, and a nice heaping portion for a lunch special. The guys loved their gyros as well and ate every last bite. The bathroom was nice and clean as was the whole restaurant (small area but good use of space with the seating). Definitely stop by and grab the gyros that live up to hype! read more

Serafim, the mad scientist-esque founder/owner sold BZ Grill to Margarita. And just when you think that this place couldn't get any better, it did! If you like Yeeero/gyro/doner then this is the place for you. Two types are offered: pork and chicken. I had the sandwich made even more special by the fact that BZ uses pita by Mediterranean Pita, otherwise known as the best commercially baked pita. I also ordered the pork platter to go and someone back at the apartamento will most certainly be hangry. Feeling a bit drowsy, I ordered a Turkish/Greek coffee to stay. You know the type with all the residue at the bottom. My relatives back in the motherland would seize the opportunity to flip the cup and read the coffee grinds that were slowly creeping down the cup's interior. Young women's' grind readings would inevitably go like this: [spoken by the coffee grind reader while staring intensely at the grids] "you will love a long time, see this is your lifeline and it's long [pointing to so random line between the grinds]. You will also go on a long trip and meet a tall, dark and handsome man who will sweep you off your feet...". You get the drift. Anywho, I noticed that they also had Ekmek Kataif for dessert and so was all over that like the coffee grinds to the inside of the dainty coffee cup." What a delightful calorie laden lunch! So kudos to Margarita! The King is metaphorically dead, long live the Queen! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Fast, friendly service and authentic food. Delicious chicken souvlaki gyro. Small spot but has seating in the rear if you want to grab a quick bite. FYI- They do not have lamb gyros, only pork or chicken. However if you do want lamb, their website shows they have a lamb/beef kebab sandwich. read more

The Greek Gods have spoken!! They gifted Astoria, Queens with one of the best chicken gyros I ever had! I Loved that mustard sauce!!! read more

I was able to try multiple items for this place an I must say that they were all excellent. The pita was warm and fresh. The dips were delicious. I was able to try multiple types of meats from them and they were all great. I especially enjoyed to bacon wrapped chicken and the other cubes of meats that were pulled off a skewer. They had ground beef skewers that literally melted in my mouth in the best possible way. The fries were really good, some had cheese on them. Everything I tried was really good. I will definitely come back to this place again as I enjoyed everything very much. Big thanks to the staff at BZ grill for all the delicious foods. It was really awesome checking you out! read more

Went with my family between lunch and dinner time. We like it at this time as it's not too busy.We got the gyro sandwich, Greek Fries and the beet salad with a side of gyro meat. Everything was absolutely delicious. This place is underrated. The service was quick and the server was friendly. The place was spotless. We come here every time we visit NY. Give it a try. You will be glad you did. read more

This place is super bad. Worst dry gyro that I ever eat. Chicken was dry and have old taste, no sauce and small amount of vegetables. Greek fries was burned. We didn't even finish gyros and went to king souvlaki truck. Big difference in quality. read more

Their sandwiches are delicious. Love their falafel, haloumi and chicken gyro. Must order their greek fries. The fries are so crispy and and the feta and oregano combo- omgosh! read more

RUN DONT WALK to this casual Greek joint in Astoria! Finally a dine in and takeout place with reasonable prices and deals. $13.50 lunch special, sandwich fries and soda, spans FIVE HOURS (11-4). Very very delicious food. Even though it's primarily takeout, we recieved good service. 6 tables inside and outdoor seating available, too. They have a wine and beer selection, as well. Under $30 for two people! Four stars because it's not ~aesthetic~ inside, but that is not an issue. Also, bathroom for patrons. read more

The most succulent gyro meat I've ever sank my teeth into, I was floored! I typically don't get chicken gyros bc I find them to be sack-religious but let me tell you, I've been dreaming about my return to this place ever since. Kicking off 2024 with my favorite food!!!! Happy New Year, BZ Grill! So far I've tried: Lamb gyro Chicken gyro Chicken souvlaki gyro You can't go wrong with this spot. Also, there's something to be said about the way they cut their meat! read more

By far, for me, the best griiled meat eatery in Astoria. Gyro tender platter is a favorite. Its so fresh and delectable. A full meal. The ambiance of this eatery is modern, clean and bright. Service is top notch. Price is right. Its simply the best!! The only thing hard to find here is parking. Street parking is tough but park a bit far and walk. read more

Ordered: Lunch Special (~$10): chicken gyro with fries and soda Aya's take: I mean can you really beat this? Gyro, fries, AND soda for $10? Come on now. You can get this from M-F 11am-4pm during their Lunch Special, and it is so worth it. The gyro is huge and loaded with fresh chicken gyro meat, lettuce, tomato, onions, and tzatziki sauce. The side of fries are beyond crispy, fresh, and addicting. You can't have a good meal without a drink, so the soda was a great way to tie the whole meal together. The chicken had a nice mixed of moistness and crispy parts. The tzatziki was fresh and they don't skimp out on what they give you. Delicious and affordable option for lunch! You can't go wrong. read more

Fresh and tasty food, fast delivery. Loved the Feta fries and Greek salad. Recommend .

One of the legendary spots of NYC. This place is ranks as a lot of the proverbial bests in the city in my book. The Pork Gyro alone in my humble opinion rates, until I am proven otherwise as not only the best gyro in the city, but possibly the best pork dish of any genre, and one of the cities definitive best dishes period. Porky goodness with the mind blowing texture striking the perfect balance between crisp bacon and juicy roast pork, I always go big with the platter as opposed to a sandwich, which is served alongside a massive for NYC portion of crispy fries or perfectly prepared rice along with a classic and reliably fresh and crisp salad alongside a classic and perfect Greek tzatziki sauce and a corresponding mound of deliciously pungent feta and pillowy pitas for you to assemble bitesize little sandwiches with as you see fit. Just behind that in terms of delicious greatness and almost as transcendent is the chicken gyro, which achieves a similarly mind bending texture and taste despite the fact that its made with the relatively leaner and healthier protein. The feta on that platter is swiped out for a delicious house sauce that isn't altogether different from fast-food burger sauce. One of these days I need to get around to trying the Bifteki, souvlaki, Seftalia and other traditional Greek delights but as of this drafting I've never been able to help myself from defaulting to one of those 2 legitimetly legendary gyros. There's a lot of great Greek food in Astoria but this, charming, well-kept and cozy, simple little borderline hole-in-the-wall, on a grittier more peripheral corner of the hood hits the spot for me like no other. The staff is across lovely and you can grab a cheap and tasty and authentic house Greek wine or Greek beer to wash down the likewise inflation-friendly priced food. Again, even if not for all that and just on the strength of that heavenly Pork Gyro alone, this place is to me nothing one of the iconic restaurants of NYC and in a more just world would be as venerated and exalted as much as Katz's Deli or John's of Bleecker Street, DiFara, etc as a truly undisputed NYC Icon. read more

Note: While I am not Greek, I was raised in Astoria and came to expect only the best of Greek food. I remember BZ Grill opened up around the time I moved out of Astoria and found the food top notch. Today I stopped by after a long tennis practice at Astoria Park and was not disappointed. The cashier and cook greeted me as I am came in and were super friendly and sweet. I ordered the chicken souvlaki sandwich with the works- salad, onions and a very good tsatsiki sauce with chunks of chicken breast held in a pita. The sandwich was enough for a meal and cost $11. Next time I'll try the chicken gyro sandwich with fresh gyro I saw in the kitchen. read more

Super solid spot, great gyros -- real layers of meat off the spit, not the compressed mystery meat you get a lot of places, not greasy at all, everything tasted fresh. I had the pork gyro and would come back to try a few other things. Casual place, seat yourself, but they do have table service if you dine in and serve beer and wine. 4.5 stars, rounded up because they have outdoor seating. read more

I cannot compliment BZ grill enough! It's an Astoria gem that everyone needs to try! I get their lunch special- which gives you a gyro sandwich, a drink, and French fries all for $10. Will be ordering from here on the regular! Food: gyros are consistently amazing! I always get the chicken gyro lunch special - and it is so filling and delicious. I recently discovered that you can ask for the spicy feta spread (kopanisti spread) on the gyro- it adds a really great flavor. I also tried the halloumi sandwich, which is a bit too salty. The cheese pie is amazing and only $1 Price: very cheap, especially if you get the lunch special! Service: I love everyone that works here! They are so friendly and helpful! read more

I've heard wonderful things about BZ Grill but sadly they weren't very gluten-free friendly. I visited BZ Grill last weekend with a group of friends. Usually greek food has many gluten free options and my friends were looking for gyros so BK's seemed like the perfect place. After we were seated and reviewed the menu our server came to take our orders. Originally I wanted the falafel platter and asked if the falafel was gluten free and the server said "no". So I pivoted and ordered the veggie platter which was on the menu and listed a variety of veggies and rice. When my platter arrived it included all the veggies plus the falaflel (not gf) and 4 pieces of pita (not gf). These gluten items were not listed out on the menu and I was surprised the server did not mention those items when I ordered given that I had just asked if the flafel contained gluten and then changed my order from the falafel plate. I picked off the non gluten free items and gave them to my friends to enjoy. While this worked for me, it would not have worked for someone with celiac disease. Other than the gluten mishap, the portions were large and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The veggies on my platter were delicious but I was skeptical of other items being gluten free so I didn't enjoy a couple of the sauces that came on the side which likely would have enhanced the dish. The restaurant itself was clean and all the other patrons seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere and food. Definitely give it a try if you're in Astoria, looking for Greek food and not gluten-free. read more

The Infatuation has a guide to a day in Astoria, which includes this pita place! This was not a far walk from the N train stop. They had limited seating inside and outside but we were able to snag a table for two outside. There was a long to go wait and it seemed like they were preparing a lot of deliveries as well. It wasn't hard to believe as you can get a sandwich with fries and a drink for around 10 dollars. That is unheard of in Manhattan. I got the chicken pita. It was good. I wish there was more sauce! Or at least have the sauce more evenly distributed! If I'm around the area again, I would stop by for a quick lunch! read more

*Catering Review* I went to a party that was catered by BZ Grill. The food was great! The lamb/beef kebab was awesome! GET THE GREEK FRIES YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! And their tzatziki sauce was great too. The hummus was decent, as was the eggplant salad. The chicken kebab was a bit dry but I think that's because we had to re-heat it in the oven. The portion of pita that they gave was insane...and it was SO good. Greek salad was fresh...I mean...overall it's a legit spot! read more

I've been here before years ago but never wrote a review (completely forgot). Me and my friend opted to sit outdoors. You tell the guy behind the counter your order and then later he calls you to take out the food. I assume because of the pandemic there's a lot more outdoor seating. Food portions are MASSIVE. The platter was huge. Easily shareable between 2 people. The salad was refreshing. My friend got the eggplant dish (comes in 2 sizes. One is the size of a small dip while the bigger one is appropriate as a side). When everything came out our table had no room. I wanted iced coffee but they didn't sell it at the restaurant but the guy was so sweet and recommended I go down the street to the deli as they sold iced coffee! So I did and got my iced coffee. When it was time to pay, he gave me and my friend beer and ginger ale on the house! What a friendly sweet environment!!! Really nice to see so much kindness during the pandemic. Service is great, food is delicious and filling. Great spot to visit. read more
