This is literally become one of my favorites! I'm a big fan of a good gyro so Where do I start ! First of all the service is great, As soon as you walk in everyone greets you all smiles and the young ladies behind the counter are always so sweet and on point with orders. Now let's get to these mouth watering gyros..... We can't get an order without the crunchy seasoned fries, they are always perfect never soggy even when we get home they are still crunchy and hot. I usually order the Greek salad with pork and they give such a huge salad with so much meat I'm always happy. I also recommend the pork gyro that will bring a tear to your eyes ! It's so good omg ! read more

Not a regular customer but I have several visits under my belt. My wife and I were underwhelmed with our meal today. Greek salad was ok Tomatoes mushy Salmon was thin and overcooked Pita bread was burnt Falafel was bland Tahini sauce needed some lemon juice. Really really forgettable meal. read more

The food here is very good overall. Operates very much like a take-out joint with a no-nonsense approach so don't order or go there to feel loved when you are done. Go there for the food, for the speed, for the convenience. That being said, they are very nice but again don't expect Gyro Gerry or whatever the head guy's name is to be super kind and fluffy. The guy runs a tight ship so deal with it people. The quality of the food will make up for it and quite frankly 9 times out of 10 he is nice....His staff is very nice btw... read more

Food is excellent. Cashiers very rude and abrupt. Not helpful for a phone order. Called to place an order and they were not helpful also when I arrived I waited for my food. I did not wait long which is a credit to their cooks who are excellent but the cashiers and the woman especially, was evasive when I asked questions also when I asked for a receipt she reluctantly gave me a carbon of the hand written receipt which was not clear. After checking my receipt I found u had been overcharged. Wow. When the owner is there nothing like this ever happens. He is great. Too bad the cashiers can't even add nor are the straight on the cost of menu items and they dont know that Nassau County sales tax is 8.625% Not 15% 4 x $7.51 = $30.04 + $2.59 = $32.63. Was originally told this was the cost of the four items I bought. 4 x $7.95 = $35.80 is what is should have cost Charged $39.10 Difference. $6.47 or $3.30 It's not the money so much as they way I was treated and the fact that they did not know the correct information and figured "bullieing" their way through the customer is the right thing to do. I will go back because I live the food and the atmosphere is nice when you eat there too. I will not go if the two cashiers are there. That is why I only rated it 3 stars. If the owner was there it would be 5 stars. Overall great food and waitress service is good. Food comes out quickly, is hot, warm or cold depending on the order but they get it right. Its comfortable and a very popular local spot. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff, but my chicken gyro platter was sliced like spam meat. I've never seen this before except at a diner. My chicken souvlaki was super salty and didn't have oregano or the typical Mediterranean herb seasoning. The tzatziki sauce was the best thing in my order. read more

This is the best Greek place on Long Island. They give huge salads for a good price. Their salads are filled with real lettuce where as other places use ice berg lettuce. This place has spoiled me for Greek food. read more

Amazing food! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Prices awesome and food prepared quickly! Gets busy and sometimes phone busy but i just drive on over and order and its ready in 10 minutes! If you order a platter order a couple extra pita... only comes with one pita and you will have leftovers!!!!Best Greek in the area read more

Walked in the other day and was greeted "hi how are you" I responded "good" but I guess I was not heard. Older woman, seemingly the owner or owner's wife said under her breath "good how are you" - as if she was filling in my response. So rude!!! To a customer?? BUT I LET IT GO nbd ... I went back a few weeks later and the owner was berating the girls working for him. They were all young - high school / college age. Working their BUTTS off, sweating, answering calls all over. And I couldn't believe how rude he was speaking to them - name calling, cursing, rolling his eyes. I can't believe no other comments talk about this. I will never ever go back again. I recommend Greek cove - the food is better there anyway. read more

My sis and I usually grab takeout from this place. We have a few usual go-to items that we always order here. Their chicken lemon soup is so great when it's a cold day or if you feel a little under the weather. Their moussaka is delicious. It has a fluffy farina topping with layers of eggplant and potatoes. Since it is an entree dish you have a choice of soup/salad and lemon potatoes/ vegetables/ French fries. Another great dish to try is their lamb shank. It's very flavorful and is served in tomato base sauce with a side of orzo and carrots. The lamb shank just falls apart and no knife is needed. In the mail you can usually find coupons for a free salad or appetizer in the pennysavers. The only think is that the parking lot is small. It shares the lot with another business and it could be tight at times when it's busy. read more

Phenominal greek food ready fast! You walk in and know its a family spot where everything is made with love and pride. Love it!! read more

The fact that I never wrote a review for this find is so upsetting as I(we) easily order from here once a week. Amazing food. Always quick. Always friendly on the phone. The guy who answers is funny. Don't be fooled by the stern voice on the other end. I've grown to enjoy his somewhat 'tone'- or lack there of! He's cool. Down to the goods. What to order: Spinach pie. Yes Cheese pie. Yup. Sweet potato fries- yum and good size portion (always important) Chicken souvlaki on ANYTHING. Absolutely wonderful and (cover your ears) :moist: My current obsession: shrimp kebabs over double grilled veggies. Usually comes with rice but I opt for double veggies and they're bomb. Shrimp souvlaki platter- truth. Small salad is big. Large salad is huge. 2 grape leaves. Lots of "stuff". Basically everything comes with soup or salad and a side of whatever you really want. As the man once said to me "I can make you whatever you want, for a price." Amen sister!! Yogurt (tzatziki sauce)- delicious! Honestly? Even their buttered orzo is delicious. I'll order an entree some nights and bring the side salad that comes with it to work for lunch the next day! Gyros of course- killer and stuffed with all the meats. Call for takeout and it's 10 minutes tops. Call for delivery they'll say an hour and come in 20. Guy will be up front with you and tell you to just stop being lazy and take out and not get delivery if things are really hitting the fan over there because they're so pop on the weekends! Serves whole wheat pita if you ask for it. Which. Btw. Easily the best pita you'll get from Greek take out on the island- hands down. Always steaming hot and fresh. And thick! It's legit. Not those cheap pita pockets some places try to swindle you with! Long story short- best Greek hole in the Wall you'll find in Nassau county. Choose to eat in and sit in a small booth with tons of people or choose to take out. Either way- you'll be full and content! read more

Absolutely go here. The owner realized what I liked and suggested some twist. Told me that I could get a gyro on a platter with extra meat. Good/great local place. My go to for whatever I crave Greek. read more

2 gyros a large greek salad (came with 2pitas) spinach pie was $60. spinach pie was worth it. they don't skimp in the gyros. deff worth the price read more

I picked up a lamb gyro to-go for under $7.50. It was very filling which made the gyro well worth it. The pita wrap did not fall apart despite the sandwich being packed with lamb, lettuce, tomato wedges, and red onions. The lamb itself was good. It wasn't extremely flavorful, but the quality was certainly on par with the other Greek restaurants in the area. Gyro Palace is conveniently located on Sunrise Highway and prepared my gyro quickly which makes it perfect for takeout. They also have a few trays of fresh Greek sweets available. Overall, I would rate Gyro Palace three and half stars. read more

always delicious. Itr is very hard for me to give any place a 5 but if I got more meat, I probably would! I come here most of the time when I'm on Long Island and craving delicious fresh and reasonably priced gyros. It's small but cozy. Great, friendly and accommodating service. Great flavors and choices. I crave it a lot! read more

I came on a recommendation from a friend. It looks like a nothing shop. A small gyro place along the highway with average everything catering to non-returning customer tastes. What a great surprise! It's very much a small family-run restaurant with a takeout counter. The gyros were big, meaty, fresh, flavorful. The looks of the spanikopita and other treats were large and inviting. The falafel is my favorite of all-time. The prices were on par with everything else in the world - no big surprises there. The menu isn't crazy. You will probably recognize everything on there. From my order, the looks of the whole operation and the other food around the restaurant, I wouldn't hesitate to make a go at the entire menu in a week. The Pitstop seems like the place to go when you pass - but no way - for now on, it's all about the Gyro Palace! read more

Great authentic Greek food. Best in nasssu. Everything's fresh and yummy. My fav is gyro platter with lemon fries or typical gyro.

Love this place! My husband and I order from here at least once a week. The food is always delicious, and the staff is super friendly! 100% recommend!!! read more

Describing this place as "authentic Greek food," as many reviews on yelp have done, is like saying that a boiled water street cart hotdog is equivalent to a porterhouse steak at a high end steakhouse. I have taken out and dined in at this small, depressing, musty space and have endured the nasty, deep voiced owner who answers the phone for the last time. Let me take you through some of my experiences: Human hair in my Greek salad; Disgusting green tomatoes; Mushy lettuce; Inedibly grisly and way overcooked souvlaki meat; Incomplete takeout orders only discovered after returning home (perhaps if the horse's a## owner who takes the phone orders was not so rude and abrupt on the phone he could actually take the time to shut his big loud mouth and actually LISTEN to what is being ordered and, if fully literate (which is questionable), could actually write down the order correctly); High prices for poor quality in general. How this place has received anything other than one star reviews is beyond me. My review is based upon several visits over a few years because once a year I will break down and say "oh maybe it's changed" and I will try it. It's always the same. Vile, dirty, overpriced and just plain lousy. Fool me once shame on you, fool me five times, shame on me. PASS!!! read more

Each time I'm here, I'm never disappointed! I was going to get my order to go but, decided to have lunch at a table. I ordered a lunch special, Gyro with sweet potato fries. The dish came out piping hot and was super fresh! I enjoyed it immensely! The waitress was super friendly and the owner is a gentleman who is easy on the eyes! With my iced tea, the tab was $11.90. I consider that reasonable. My portions were generous and I paid a bit xtra for the sweet fries. Looking forward to returning!! read more

I usually order takeout from this little mom and pop Greek restaurant but decided to dine in tonight with my family upon my friends recommendation, very small but cozy inside and very bright! My eyes! LOL, table top seating was nice but we opted for the comfortable booth on the side which was really comfortable, I believe the owner was floating around very attentive and the entire staff was very friendly from beginning to end, I brought my own wine which Thankfully was allowed because they don't serve alcohol to my disappointment, but I digress& made it work! LOL started off with some delicious hummus/white sauce and fresh pita for an appetizer, very very good! Also had this sausage app which was incredibly unique with a lot of taste! For dinner I had the lamb hot off the grill with delicious lemon potatoes, you can't go wrong with meat and potatoes and this was some of the best I ever had! It was a great portion as well, also came with a delicious Greek salad/homemade dressing and a fantastic lemon chicken soup for the soul!the wife had some funky salad with chickpeas but she seemed to enjoy it, my daughter had the pita pizza upon the recommendation of the waitress and she liked it very much, my son just stuck with the delicious homemade fries, prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of food here and I'll definitely be back soon living only a few blocks away! Now If they could just only dim those damn lights!Lol read more

Gyro Palace - The best gyro & Greek fries around!!! & of course a little wine! Perfect end to a busy day - Greek Near Me - Merrick, New York

The Steak sandwich with the fries was good. I just didn't like that the sandwich was kind of small. But overall the food was great.

Why does this place have to be so far away!!!!! The Mediterranean wrap was outstanding, hummus so yummy, and the chicken Slovakia was perfection. The owner stopped by to say hi and the waitress was super accommodating. Best Greek on the island - hands down! If it was closer, I'd be there weekly. read more

Great food. Ordered there and got my take out within 15 minutes. Loved that I could actually watch them making it it was out in the open. Food was actually FRESH!!! Salad was not wilted as in other places I've gone to and food was over abundance so I had it for 2 meals. It tasted amazing!!! Love the place love the food. Only thing it's a tight fit so order ahead. read more

We tried this place tonigh for the first time and I must say, it was very good! I had the combo platter of gyro and chicken and my other half had the chicken kabob. Both meals were had with Salad and pita. Everything was excellent. The food was fresh and tasty. The salad was awesome! Great taste of dressing with so much feta cheese. We live a half hour away from here but both agreed we would take the ride again to dine here again. There is enough parking in front and a decent amount of seating inside. Everything was perfect. Enjoy read more

I love this place! Hidden gem on sunrise highway, space is small but the staffs service makes up for it... I've learn to love Greek food.... still not a big fan of lamb or those grape leaves tamale looking things.... so I always order the chicken souvlaki on a pita with lettuce tomatoes and red onions.. no matter what diet I am attempting to stick to for the current week....I order the fries! You MUST get the fries lol. The pita and "white sauce" amazing (I always have to ask for extra) I highly recommend, the lemon chicken soup. Food is always so fresh! read more

Food is great, customer service when ordering for delivery is horrible, no manners, very very rude...also got my orders mixed up multiple times, if the food wasn't so good, i wouldn't give them business...but customer service is disgusting!!!!!!! read more

Keeping it simple and good, the chicken souvlaki pita is better than some others. Gyro is the same as everywhere else though. read more

The service here is horrible . I ordered a Greek salad . The tomatoes were NOT cored. Which means that they served you the dirty stem . Which probably also means they never wash their tomatoes . When I showed this to the waitress . She just shrugged like I just annoyed her. Took my dish . Threw the tomatoes with the stems on my dish into the garbage . Never mentioned it to the owner or to anyone in the kitchen. Never apologized on behalf of the establishment . Nothing . Business as usual .Basically went from one ear to the other .To the garbage . First time in a very long time I've been served a salad with the outside dry dirty stem not removed . Aside from this when asked what I wanted to drink ? I requested A glass of water . Never did anyone come to the table and offer that glass of water . This owner should really evaluate his business ediquet. You should Treat all your customers with the same standard you would want to be treated !!!! I've seen how u carry yourself . You possess a huge attitude!!! And that clearly carries over on to your help . You know the saying . "The fish stinks from the head down " Change your ways and the rest will follow.... And most importantly you must always provide clean and Properly prepared food on to your patrons dish !!!! Are you trying to use the whole totality of the tomatoe? Do u really believe I will consume the stem ? My word of advice to potential patrons . When people behave weird . There is usually some reason . Don't be fooled by the many 5 star reviews . It's the owners friends . Real Customers usually don't review unless there is something to warn about . If you must . I , would patron at this establishment with hesitation . read more
