    Pork Gyro Lunch Box.
    Emma P.

    Great spot for a quick and filling meal in Astoria. Order your choice of grilled meats at the counter and select the side dishes and format - sandwich, platter etc. the food is flavorful and portions are large. It's a basic cafeteria/diner style setup inside, nothing fancy but it's light and bright and clean. Good value for money, especially at lunchtime. Staff are friendly and they have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Gyro World is serving up authentic Greek dishes in Astoria. I was able to try a plethora of dishes. The meats were seasoned well and juicy. That chicken and gyro were fire and packed with flavor. Then on the souvlaki meats I got bigger pieces of chicken with herbs on it. I was able to try different spreads like spicy feta and tzatziki. The pita was nice and fresh. It was my first time trying The Greek sweets. The baklava was amazing. The texture on the orange pie was interesting and you get a rich orange flavor. Overall this place has a family vibe to it. Shout out to Dimitri who helped me.

    Ate here today by myself on a nice Wednesday morning trying this place out. I had only brought the beef and lamb platter that comes with pita bread, raw onions, tomatoes, fries, a can of soda and tzatziki sauce. It was definitely great and delicious. The service was just alright and the cashier took my order was kind of rude to me while I was trying to order and served me with an attitude when I sat down patiently and got my order correctly. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    My mini me was in the mood for a gyro so we were in the neighborhood and stopped on in this place. Spot was quaint and they even had outdoor seating that was closed in. We chose to sit inside. Our server took care of us right away. We both ordered the lamb gyro. Lots of lamb. Nice and tasty. It was too much for me and I wasn't able to finish it. Not too bad of a spot if you're looking for gyros.

    Greek salad with chicken souvlaki. And lamb and Beef & Lamb Gyro Pita Sandwich

    We got the Greek salad and i added chicken souvlaki and the pork and beef gyro which was excellent. Service was great and quick. Easy stop for dinner or lunch.

    Spinach Pie
    Dipali G.

    Extremely disappointed by the food! Food: I ordered the spinach pie, chicken gyro pita, and chicken Caesar sandwich. The spinach pie tasted raw, where it was hard to bite into the shell and was too salty. The chicken gyro pita sandwich had a weird after taste and the chicken felt rubbery. The fries were very oily Price: compared to the size and quality of gyros you can get else where in Astoria, the prices here are pretty high Service: I ordered through Uber eats and it just took so long for me to get the food.

    Chicken souvlaki plate

    I placed an order thru Uber eats. They had a special going on that said "buy one get one free" I decided to order for that reason. I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner box that comes with chicken souvlaki, lemon potatoes or rice (I chose potatoes) and a Greek salad. The restaurant then called me to tell me they are not doing that special and wanted to let me know so I'm not disappointed. They asked if that was ok and I said sure. I received my food and the portions were extremelyyyyyyy small!!! I could understand If that was the portion with the buy one get one free special but for $18.95?!?! Normally a chicken souvlaki platter comes with at least 2 souvlaki sticks .. this came with one!!! The salad had no feta cheese and I received 3 pieces of potatoes. Not only was the "buy one get one free" false advertising but the food itself was a disappointment. I won't be ordering from here again.

    Stopped by when I was in my old neighborhood and ordered the beef and lamb gyro it was presented very nicely full of meat and lettuce and tomatoes... my only disappointment was the tdasziki sauce was a bit bland... but still a good gyro

    Haloumi Lunch Box

    The quality of food is always good, fresh vegetables especially. It has always been, for us, overpriced but delicious. Service has always been very friendly. Recently they've reduced the portions, the size of the vegetables and halloumi in the halloumi lunch box ($18, in photo) are all about 2/3 the size they used to be. Smaller and thinner sliced. And no pita included anymore. Used to be a once in a while thing but not likely to visit much anymore in favor of some other places that also do halloumi well.

    I really like this place, service is awesome ,super friendly. Food here is amazing, there greek salad and lemon potatoes is a must try. This place is impeccable, and extra clean. Fresh and tasty, prepared right infront of you. The line moves fast and the staff is always very friendly. I've told a few friends about this place and they all agree. Great tasting gyro sandwich. Go for a combination plates that are available for a good variety of Greek specialties. Pricing is on the high side, but nonetheless this restaurant holds it's own with nearby competitors. Great place, great Food, and open late. They also deliver.

    Chicken Bifteki a la carte. Skip all the biftekis
    Kenneth L.

    We have been patrons of this establishment a couple of times and both times the food was decent to great. The second time we came, they forgot the fava dip and apologized by reheating the already cold bread and gave us a mini cup of their spicy cheese to try. Yesterday, we ordered taramasalata (fish roe yogurt) dip, bifteki the meatloaf patties) platter that comes with a spinach pie and lemon potatoes, and a chicken bifteki(think chicken meatloaf). The roe came first, it was ok. Then someone decided to take a sharp left turn to crazyville. The spinach pie. We read about their pie on the paper placemat they laid on the table and thought it would be nice to try something they're so proud of. Boy, were we in for a surprise. The pastry dough was tough, chewy and dried out. When the waiter swung by to check in on us, we told him about the pie. He said umm for a second and left us with the unfinished pie. We had to flag him down a second time to ask for a replacement. He said he would get back to us after speaking to the manager. He then came back and told us he could not replace the pie because it was mostly eaten. Mind you, this is a side order included in the platter meal. We both took one bite each to the slice of pie and I had to spit the pie out because the texture of the crust was just too chewy. He said the only thing he could do is have us order something else and that he has to charge us again. Not only did he not try to rectify the problem, he asked us why we did not tell him to replace the pie the first time around. We said we did tell him about and he said he stood there a good five seconds after he checked in on us the first time (he stood there for a sec and ran off). I had to question him why does that even matter whether we asked him to replace the pie the first time around or the second time around. A server should offer a replacement or at least be helpful and take the inedible food away and apologize for the chef. Not in this case! Was it our job to give him options? The rest of the food that came afterwards were unremarkable. The lemon potatoes which are normally good here were hard and dry and the biftekis were undistinguishable loaves of fillers. By the end of the meal, the pies were still sitting on our table. Needless to say, we left $0 tip to the skinny waiter with the curly hair and glasses (Petros R.) Why would we order other food items and try to rip you off of a side order?!?! We also has been served by the same waiter the first time we were here. Oh well! Another place to cross off of Astoria.

The whole vibe felt warm and made it a really nice family dinner. My grandma and mom both seemed happy and enjoyed everything, which honestly mattered most. We ordered two Greek salads (definitely could've gotten away with just one -- they're huge and very shareable). We also had the Mediterranean spreads: tzatziki, eggplant, and a spicy spread. Everything was solid and great for sharing. We also got grilled octopus as an appetizer -- super tender and really well done. For my main, I had the grilled deboned red snapper -- absolutely delicious. It came with a creamy lemon sauce on the side that you can pour over the fish, plus oregano fries and grilled vegetables. The veggies were amazing, especially the grilled onions that just melted in your mouth. We also ordered takeout: kefte kebab with fries, which was maybe smaller portion but it was good flavor. For dessert we had a baklava float (I think that was the name) with coffees to finish. Very happy with the whole meal overall. Drinks at the bar beforehand were also a highlight -- sangria and a gin, lavender, elderflower, cucumber cocktail that my grandma actually loved.

The salad was a refreshing complement to the other dishes we ordered.

Pita bread that came with it was great. The red snapper was nicely charred, seasoned well, and quite tender. Papoutsaki was the heaviest dish of the bunch but tasty too, a nice combo of flavors. They gave a complimentary semolina flour cake for dessert--pretty good albeit gritty in texture

    Best Greek restaurant I've had to date!…read more Ambiance (5/5): There are a few tables inside where the decorations are white/blue to the classic décor style of Greek restaurants. There's also plenty of outdoor patio seating with cute vine/florals draped along the seating area. A little dark with the dim lighting when we dined in the evening. Service (5/5): We arrived around 8p on a Sunday evening and it was jammed packed. They had an opening right when we arrived which was super lucky. They were attentive throughout our experience. We were glad that the server's recommendations to # of plates was proportional to our needs. Food (5/5): every single dish was outstanding! The starter was a complementary hummus with the softest, moist, pita bread. I could've easily eaten this and been happy. Our favorite was the baked Halloumi with honey, fig jam and cranberries. The exterior had a nice crust from the caramelized honey. It was rich but paired well with the table pita (which they kindly refilled!!) The next item was Shieftalia pork kebabs which seems so easy but was filled with flavor from the onions and herbs. It paired well with the yogurt sauce. Lastly, we had the baked eggplant (almost reminded me of a Greek version of eggplant parm), this lacked a little flavor but still very good. Wish this dish had a bit more spice. The 3 appetizers were large in portion and enough for the 2 of us to share. We loved it and can't wait to come back!

    Recommendations from what we tried: Shieftalia, Makaronia tou Fournou, Koupepia, and Horiatiki. In…read moreshort, stick with mezzes. I found out about this Cypriot/Greek spot a while ago through the IG account TasteBuds and checked it out with one of my food groups a couple of weeks ago. The servers were friendly, and the inside, while dark, felt warm and comforting, which was especially true as I had just come in from a storm. To drink, I had a cold brew cocktail for around $18 that I can't find on the current menu. Outside of the cold brew, there was an anise/coffee liquor (I believe Sifonios Ouzo Coffee Liqueur), some type of citrus, and possibly something else, and it was very tasty. They gave us some warm bread along with, I believe, a soft fava bean spread or hummus while we were waiting for food. In terms of food, I loved the mezze here, but I prefer some other places in Astoria for fish/seafood. As the menu didn't have the Tomato Salad listed online, we instead got their version of Horiatiki/Greek Village Salad for $19 with cucumber, tomatoes, green bell peppers, red onions, barrel-aged feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. The salad had a nice block of good feta, and the tomatoes were very juicy. Overall, it was a bit better than the typical spot in the neighborhood, and we enjoyed it. Next to arrive was my favorite dish of the night, the $17 Shieftalia, listed as a traditional Cypriot sausage made of minced pork, chopped onions, fresh herbs, and spices wrapped in caul fat and grilled over live fire. The dish came with four large pieces topped with some tomatoes, with some tzatziki on the side. The sausages were very juicy and had a wonderful grilled flavor with mild spices and herbs. This was outstanding, and I highly recommend it. Another excellent dish was the Makaronia tou Fournou for $25, listed as Cypriot baked pasta with herbed meat sauce, grated halloumi cheese, and creamy bechamel sauce. It reminded me to an extent of Pastitsio, but almost more comforting. There was tender pasta, slightly salty cheese, and a rich bechamel that tied the whole thing together. The warming spices, which were presumably mixed into the meat, added new depth to the overall flavor. As described, it's a bit of a wait for this dish, but it was very much worth it. Another tasty dish was the $17 Koupepia, their version of Dolmades, listed as Cypriot vine leaves stuffed with ground pork, rice, and fresh herbs, wrapped in grape leaves, and cooked in a fresh tomato lemon broth. I preferred these over the Greek variety because the grape leaves were more tender, less overly sour, and warm. I would recommend these as well. The only mezze I disliked, mostly because of the price point, was the Shrimp Santorini for $22, listed as succulent shrimp in aromatic tomato feta sauce. The shrimp were cooked properly, and the sauce was delicious, but there weren't that many shrimp. It was good, but I would recommend spending your money on their other equally excellent mezze. Otherwise, we got two decent mains, each with a side. First was the $26 Soutzoukakia, listed as Greek baked meatballs cooked in homemade tomato sauce and served on a bed of rice with Greek yogurt and feta cheese sauce. The sauce had some cinnamon with a mild sweetness, while the meatballs were a bit less tender than the sausages. The rice was otherwise plentiful and well-cooked. There was also the Dorado Royale, or Mediterranean Sea Bream, which was $44 for 800 grams. I have had more tender and flavorful fish from a few other places nearby, but it was nice that it was butterflied without bones, outside of the head and tail, of course. For sides, I chose the Sautéed Mushrooms, which are normally $16, and the Horta, or boiled greens with Greek olive oil and lemon, which is normally $15. The mushrooms had some grilled onions and peppers, and it was a nice mix overall. The later horta, made from the typical dandelion greens, I believe, had a bit of bitterness, which went well with the other richer dishes. Overall, both mains and sides were good, but I preferred the other things. This was a very tasty place and a good replacement for an old Cypriot spot on Ditmars that closed a good while ago. Would go back to probably get their $60 mezze sampler, or just try more things from that menu.
