Kalispera Yelp! I needed a shot at redemption. Earlier in the week I had wannabe Greek food that was pretty much American BBQ with a Greek twist. I was crying internally because I had just gotten back from Greece and I needed that taste of the country that may just have some of the best food in Europe outside of France (have not been to Italy, sorry!). After seeing them on Good Day New York, I decided after work to venture out to the West Village and really get a taste of what they are all about. Thankfully it is an easy subway ride and a fairly short walk from the West 4th courts to get here. When I got in, I was greeted warmly by the attractive cashier, Hanna, and the owner, George. Not just that, but the fact that both them had extremely good know-how, and were on their game, cleaning, and making sure that the restaurant was well taken care, was things I admired. The menu is one that took me back to all the times at had gyros (sorry folks, it is not jeye-rows, it is yee-ros) when I was in Athens. I had to get myself a pork gyro with authentic Greek water (yes, they do have imported bottled water from Greece), and a sour cherry juice. In fact, several of the ingredients they use are imported from Greece, like the tzatziki, the pita, and other things. They even put fries in the gyro like they do in Greece! To me, it adds character, to others, the starch takes away from the meat flavor. To each their own, I guess. But wait, before I could ring up, George tells me that they do not do pork gyros at this location because this location does not want it. They are too Americanized and do not understand that pork gyros are a thing. He offered me the beef and lamb gyro as a compromise, and I take it. Sometimes, it sucks to be an American. --- When the gyro arrived, I took a bite. This is not the gyros I had in Athens or in Heraklion, but it is darn tasty. It is full of flavor, full of tremendous creativity and love and a nationalistic pride for a country full of amazing people, culture, and history. While not the same as I had in Greece, I was plenty pleased for the value of the gyro, plus the incredible service I received. While taking bites of my dinner, and eventual dessert (I ordered a caramel banana pudding and it is tremendous as well), I had amazing conversation with both Hanna and George. These are two people I could have spent all night talking with, Highly intelligent, highly introspective, highly intriguing. The whole time felt like two friends that I had known a long time. It really made the whole experience feel top notch. They made me feel less like a customer, and more like a friend. That is how Greek restaurants are supposed to make you feel. That is what makes you want to come back. That is why Greek restaurants are some of the best restaurants in the world. I can live with the Americanized menu because the owner is authentically Greek (he was impressed with some of my Greek vocabulary) and he has excellent knowledge to make this restaurant truly be something special in a city full of naïveté people and an even more naïveté palate. Yamas to both of you, Hanna and George. You have earned my respect, my positive review, and my business. Efcharisto! read more

Gyro City absolutely crushed it. The food was unreal, fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly. The gyro was packed with juicy, well seasoned meat, the pita was soft and warm, and everything tasted authentic. You can tell they care about quality. Service was on point too, fast, friendly, and welcoming. The whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. Definitely one of the best spots around if you're craving Greek food. I will 100 percent be back. read more

Located in a small space decked out in cute blue and white decor, Gyro City is a welcome addition to the foodie Mecca of Macdougal St. Come visit for hearty and fresh Greek food prepared with care and be served by a friendly face. It's best to preorder for pickup as cooking up your order takes time. There is a counter with a handful of bar stools to sit and eat, or you can take it to an NYU student lounge at the Kimmel Center, or Washington Square Park available to the public. Note that the eatery is not ADA accessible as there are stairs to climb for entry, and there is no customer bathroom. read more

The beef-lamb gyro was first-rate. I like when it's multi-textural like this, plus there was some kind of red flavoring. Perhaps more surprising, the fries were way better than usual, with actual potato skin in there. The namesake sauce was too salad dressing-adjacent though. Service was fast and friendly service. I was almost legally required to get the platter on my first visit but the girl at the counter did a great job explaining the offerings to other customers, at one point asking someone if they wanted their sandwich to look like the picture on the wall. read more

Solid gyro spot - authentic Greek gyro with French fries folded in. We tried the lamb and beef gyro. We were pleasantly surprised by how much meat was included, which made the price ($17) well worth it. The gentleman working the front was very helpful as we made our choice. He shared his favorite personalized gyro with feta and all the sauces. I'll try that next time read more

Excellent chicken gyro. It's massive . I would've loved more meat and less fries in there , but I'd still say their pink signature sauce and the flavor is just right and it's a very damn near perfect gyro . Their fries were hand cut and highly addictive as well . Easily the best greek food I've had in years! read more

One of the best tasting gyros. The beef and lamb gyro with tzatziki sauce is so delicious. The fries are included inside the wrap. The pita bread is huge and thick. Big portion. I couldn't finish it all. It's a small place up the stairs, but the gyro is easy to eat on the go. Nice and friendly staff. read more

I enjoyed the gyro and Greek salad, good stuff. And the staff was nice. :). I'll probably do a bowl next time though.

The ingredients were exceptionally fresh, and I especially appreciate their commitment to avoiding seed oils. The portion sizes were generous, the service was warm and attentive, and I'm delighted to have such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! read more

Not much to say except the best gyro I've had in NYC and excellent service. Very quick service. Everything is fresh.

Great spot that just opened on MacDougal. Both the Gyro and Kabab was fantastic! Highly recommend if you need a good meal when in the West Village. read more

Tomatoes melt in your mouth!! Chicken kebab salad was perfect and SO fresh!! The desserts were seriously to die for- SO fresh and not too sweet. Can't remember ever having baklava taste that good, and I've been to Greece! read more

Wow!! We are Greek and Gyro City has the BEST gyros we have EVER had in NYC! Visited on 3/24/26. The pitas are fresh and warm and the beef and lamb meat was juicy and flavorful. The traditional gyro is loaded with meat, fries, tomatoes and onions. We added lettuce. It was HUGE!! Equally as important is that the tzadziki was authentic- made with yogurt and perfectly seasoned- so many places make it with sour cream and way too much garlic. A MUST visit!! read more

I had only 30 minutes tonight to grab a quick dinner before seeing a show around the corner at Minetta Lane Theatre and saw Gyro City as I was walking down McDougal Street. I love Greek food and decided to go in as it was empty. Wonderful waitress (it's just counter seating) Arya, was warm and friendly and I have to say that to my surprise the chicken gyro was the best I'd ever had. Hot off the grill, huge (couldn't eat it all!), delicious hot crispy flavorful fries....and great grilled Pita bread. It came with a small unusual and delicious Greek dessert. Loved it and would go again. read more
