It's halal food from a street card and it's exactly what you thought it would be and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that - solid portion for $6 (lamb combo) - Decent line (15 min wait) which means you know it's good - Pretty good flavor - You feel like crap afterward and want to take a nap after They throw some greens and tomatoes in the combo platter also. read more

Gyrohouse NYC - Lamb combo - Halal Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for lunch today. Got the mix over rice for $7. The lamb and chicken I think are seasoned well on their own. The red and white sauce are watered down and add something not as desired to the flavor. Loss of a star for these. The hot sauce is decently hot for once. The mini salad is better than most as it has better greens and eggplant. Nice guys and I'm sure I'll be back, but will try one of the other five carts first. read more

Absolutely my go to cart in the FiDi! It's easily noticeable as it's the only real truck/vehicle in the Zuccotti Park area and on the front of the truck it states Gyro House. It's also situated away from the rest of its competitors on the SE corner of Cedar St and Broadway. As for the food, it is not only delicious, but extremely filling!The chicken and lamb tastes so much fresher than the other carts and they give you your money's worth inside the box. Many carts just add lettuce and tomatoes, but gyro house adds onions, chopped peppers and zucchini in there as well! You're not going to find too many carts that add all of those ingredients. My coworkers were going to a few different carts over the last few years and I took them here once. They also agreed that the flavors in the chicken/lamb over rice here are amazing and the serving size is more than they could ask for! For $6 (which is typically the going price these days for street meat chicken/lamb over rice), it is totally worth the price if you get it from here! read more

The breakdown: 1) the rice is different and flavorful. Not your typical yellow/jasmine/pulao rice 2) the salad is actual salad - I mean tomatoes, cucumber, onions, the whole deal. Most places will give you some lettuce and call it a day 3) they will give you some pepper and onion mix as well 4) eggplant and chickpeas - no other place gives you that except this other cart in Astoria (I wish they added some fries too) 5) decent amount of meat 6) they take card! read more

The quest to find the best halal cart never ceases! I was sitting at my desk 12am at night looking for a cart still open. Bam, Gyrohouse was open! and its a TRUCK! Rice: OMG, when I got my order, I nearly dropped it as my hands were burned from the extremely hot box! While most chicken rice plates are hot, usually that's just the meat. They kept their rice hot in a rice cooker! Speaking of rice, their rice is more on the fragrant side, almost floral. Hot moist and fragrant rice! Its great that one can actually enjoy the smell of the rice before even eating it. Chicken: The general characteristic the chicken rice was moist. The chicken was moist, the rice was moist.Besides chicken, there was chopped peppers and onions in the mix. Kinda of like fjita veggies. Reminded me of a Mexican take on the chicken plate. The salad was fairly simple, its basically fresh lettuce with a few pieces of tomatoes. Sauce I took a taste of the sauces and immediately I was like "mmmm...MMMM?" The white sauce was on the tangy and sweet side, kinda like Japanese mayo. Hot sauce was sriracha! This blend created a different but enjoyable tangy spicy profile, unlike other carts. All the ingredients had a very distinctive twist in taste compared to your o your standard halal cart. This kept the oohs and aahs rolling bite after bite. Pleasant surprise indeed. $7 for chicken plate, so not the cheapest of the carts. read more

Gyrohouse NYC you are really incredible, I had a spectacular experience here yesterday. Not only was I impressed with the ambience and the atmosphere, but the food and service were great as well! Every thing was very yummy and I just cannot wait to go back already. The workers are really attentive and kind and they're great at giving recommendations. If you have not tried Gyrohouse NYC you need to at least once. read more

This place has got it all figured out. Normally when I'm in New York I don't give food carts much thought; not because these places are bad, oh quite contraire because the food normally smells out of this world and looks quite tasty as well. No my bias to food carts and the such comes from a lack of credit card support, which in this day and age feels so antiquated. So needless to say I was too eager to queue up and try the aromatic establishment right in front of me! Options are simple and what you'd expect, gyro sandwhich/plate, chicken sandwhich/plate, falafel sandwhich/fate, burgers, etc. I settled on the gyro sandwhich, and asked them to add falafel, great combo in my opinion! The lamb and gyro were very well done, and there was a good mix of vegtables, and sauces although I thought there could have been a little less rice. The people were friendly and didn't have that typical "hurry up and order" vibe I get from most places down in FiDi. They even took the time to ask a few questions and let me ask a few things too. Overall great place to eat and get that food cart experience! read more

There were about a dozen food trucks around and I'm so glad we chose this one! The two guys running the truck were really nice and the food was great! We got the gyro sandwich and the chicken/rice plate. So good! read more

Gyro plate for six bucks is a real bargain. Meat is tasty and not too greasy and the plate has rice and a ton of veggies. Hot sauce is really good and they don't skimp on it. I don't eat white sauce so no comments on that. Always has a line but it moves. read more

So this place is not consistent...the last time I picked up food here last Friday on 3/18. The chicken was not flavorful, the sauce was very watery. Basically there was no flavor to what I was eating. I had got a salad and it was drenched in the white sauce which would have been fine had it been tasty but it sadly was not this time. I also did not get any fresh veggies like last time. i went about 4pm this time, picking up food for dinner. But, I have been here before at about 330/4p and the food was just as good as the first time I have had it....This might be questionable if I will come back here again.... read more

I got a mixed plate over rice and salad $6.50 and $1 for a can of soda. It's was okay, the meat was average, chicken and lamb taster the same. The rice was neutral, the plate automatically comes with white rice with a few spices in it. The salad was mostly white, not much of greens and did not look or tasted nutritious. Just fills you up. read more

I ordered the mixed plate (gyro and chicken) for $7 and got a massive plate of food. I liked that the meat was tender and not dry. This could easily have been 1.5 lunches, but this fatty finished everything in one sitting. Going to finish this review before food coma kicksssssss........... kfnakflakjaaoelfil read more

Coming here sometimes for good falafel and OK gyros. That's s a good place in general with quality food, a bit overpriced for fast-food (which it is indeed). Quality of product. Falafel is very good, has a nice texture and distinctive taste. It might be bigger and less salty. Gyros are just fine. I'm not a fan of their vegetables, cause they are most likely non-organic and lack a natural flavour. 4/5 Quality of service. It is fast, it is positive, it could use some more personal approach. An it feels like they do not really try to remember regulars. During lunch expect to wait extra time. 3.5/5 Place and design. Tiny and crowded. I do not like it here, always do take out. Somehow clean, but definitely not spotless. 2/5 Location. Location is ideal for me. A step from the Broadway, 3 minutes from NYSE, 2 minutes from 9/11 monument. 5/5 Overall it is a good choice if you like falafel and gyros and you have to eat in this area. Otherwise consider moving towards Little Italy and China Town for much better options and greater variety. Evgenii from Testimoniacs community. read more

Before I begin my review, I want to remind you that this place sits in FiDi, where the streets are gritty and food options are skimpy. Halal is actually more expensive than the famed stand at 53rd & 6th and yet with far less quality. That said, I've only tried the falafel sandwich from this truck twice and both times were top-notch cart experiences relative to FiDi standards. Despite the length of time in between, I relished both lunch experiences. The first time, Gyro House was the Frito-Lay truck without the fancy online ordering option. My order of falafel sandwich landed me a fried chickpea boat. Think mother-of-Chipotle-burritos size. The pita could not be rolled because the contents were bursting over the top. Two hours and one very distended stomach later, I was basking in my post-pigout glow. Two days ago, the fond memory of this face stuffing came back to me so I went back to discover the name change and the addition of kofta and fish to the menu. Instead of quantity, this time I got quality. I had to wait a while for my order because they put the falafel into the fryer after I ordered it. Hooray for anti-stale-greased falafel practices! Also, this is one of the few halal carts that go the extra mile to include other veggies - zucchini, eggplant, carrot - besides the usual iceberg lettuce and traces of tomato. Is it the best one around the periphery of Zuccotti Park? I wish I could tell you but I haven't tried every cart to know. I will say that I would rather pay the same $5.50 here and get the extras when I'm too lazy to walk to my first FiDi halal love, Adel's Halal by Front St. So, um, every time. read more

I don't know if this truck replaced the 'Halal 'Frito Lay' Truck' or this is the Frito Lay Truck. Signs point to that it is the Frito Lay truck because you can still see one of the logos above the passenger side door. The truck looks exactly the same, however the staff is different and the meat seems to be cooked slightly different, unless if it's because I haven't been here for a while. Gyro House makes a notably delicious chicken over rice for $5. I also asked to try the lamb which the chef gladly threw a couple slices on top. The chicken was tender and flavorful, good and exactly what one would come to expect. I received a couple slices of lamb from the outside of doner kebab, which resulted in a very crispy side with moist ground lamb underneath. It was not as salty as the prior vendor, making for a much better lamb. The yellow rice was heavily seasoned, though not to the point where you would gag, making for a yummy rice mixed with sauteed diced onions. The salad was typical with the shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, but the addition of very bitter cubes of zucchini kind of threw me off and made me gag once or twice. I never knew zuchinni could be that bitter!! As for the sauces, white sauce was standard, but thumbs up for their hot sauce which actually had some decent heat. Enough to really hit me in the back of the throat. Generous portions, decent lines signifying a strong following, and a hot sauce that actually packs some heat. I think Gyro House is definitely a step up from its counterpart, the Frito Lay truck. My coworker ordered the Falafel Platter for $5 which actually seemed quite interesting with French Fries and an assortment of colorful vegetables (peppers, pickles, etc.). I may have to come back and check that dish out. read more

GYRO HOUSE ADDICTION IS REAL I was introduced to this place by a friend, you know, something harmless. I'd done lamb on rice several times, years ago, usually at a party, back when I was living near Dearborn, Michigan, where the good middle-eastern food lives, and I wasn't prepared for this. The flavors are so raw, so powerful, it has knocked me off my feet. You know that headrush from wasabi? Yeah, that's the one. But this is so much more. The hot sauce is so damn hot it's a whole new level. The rice has to be soaked in broth, the way it's yellowed and delicious. The veggies are always fresh, sorted in some manner of trade rotation that only provides what is newest and in season at some secret market where they must buy it before slicing and dicing and making it part of the recipe. Know this. That in the 7-10 days that this truck was out of its usual location, due to an inspection which they must have passed with flying colors, I had no less than three close friends get with me quietly to ask if I was holding out, had I figured out where they were, since I wasn't shaking and crying with the tremors of GYRO HOUSE withdrawal. The truth is, I was. I was terrified inside that this joy, this delight, this taste amazement, might be gone from my life for good, leaving behind only happy memories, the pangs of what had once been. Luckily, the forces of good prevailed, and now they are back, the truck parked in its usual spot at the corner of Cedar and Broadway, a short line of traders and techies who could clearly pony up for Capital Grille every noon if they wanted, but instead stand in line in the cold and rainy wind just to blow six bucks for a full serving of heaven. read more

I love this place so much. The food is great. portions are huge. lamb over rice or salad. but WHERE ARE THEY? I have eaten here twice a week for the past 5 years and am now in a panic because they've been missing for the past week and a half. WHERE ARE YOU GYRO HOUSE??? I miss you desperately and am lost amongst a sea of mediocre halal carts :( Please come back or let us know where you are now parked. read more

They have the fresh meat ever.... Have tried many kart food... Nothing comes close to the taste for gyro house not even halal brothers is close to their taste..... read more

I always walk by and there's always a line so I decided to give it a try. They make the best chicken gyro! The white sauce is so flavorful and the hot sauce packs a good punch! The price is good and the workers are courteous so I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood. read more

Overall 3.5 stars I tried the Gyro over rice with white sauce and hot sauce. The salad that came with it was crisp and bright. The gyro meat was good but the rice was very gummy. read more

If you are a halal lover, you HAVE to try this place. I eat here at least once a week and I was addicted after the first time I had it. I've tried some of the other halal carts in the area and they are no match for the GYRO HOUSE!!!! For $6 you can get a chicken or gyro over rice or a combo for $1 more. What makes this place stand out from every other truck or cart is the freshness and variety of the vegetables. Not only do the vegetables include lettuce and tomatoes, but also zucchini, chickpeas, peppers, eggplant, carrots and I'm probably missing something else. In short, this place is fresh and awesome! read more

I work in the area once every two weeks or so. This food truck, just off the cornet east of Broadway, has THE BEST FALAFEL plate around. For the money you pay, it's a huge plate of fresh food. The falafel balls are crispy on the outside yet moist and tender on the inside. And the blend of spices they use, it think there may be some rosemary in there, tastes awesome. Highly recommend. read more

Very delicious. $7 for chicken and rice which is a little pricier than some others but the quality is higher. There's a sister cart on Ann and Broadway that is open past 6pm. Very friendly owner. read more

OMG this cart has the best street meat chicken gyros I've ever had. The chicken has great flavor and they add on nice mixed vegetables. Plus the guys are pretty cool with a sense of humor. read more

Lamb gyro had very tender and flavorful meat, but was a drippy, greasy mess. The white sauce has a strong dill flavor which I was not expecting but wound up enjoying, tempered by the decent heat in their hot sauce. Also enjoyed the sauteed onions they add instead of raw, but still the grease was off putting enough that I will most likely not be back. read more

Love this truck! Best halal I have had any where in the city! I always get the lamb over rice and have also grabbed their gyro on occasion. If a friend or family member comes to visit or hell if a stranger asks for a recommendation, this is the place I refer them to. The only complaint I have about this place is that they aren't around during the weekend!!! read more

Good street food. Gyro had a nice (and unexpected) assortment of vegetables tucked into the pita. It was a nice first-time ordering experience for my teenaged son on his field trip to NYC, followed by a pleasant dining experience in the adjacent park. We didn't get sick later, so it passes the most important street food test. read more

They are one of the better Halal trucks/carts in the Downtown Manhattan area. The food is always fresh and tasty and they give you the largest portion for $5-6 that I have had anywhere else. read more

This is a great halal cart, with huge portions and an actual salad, rather than the tiny amount of iceberg lettuce that most places give. I like that they add things like roasted veggies, eggplant, grilled onion, etc to the chicken. Highly recommended, especially for $6 chicken over rice. read more

I miss these guys so much. My office moved to Brooklyn Heights so I no longer have the pleasure of eating here twice a week. The best halal truck in new york for my money. I hope to pay them a visit real soon the next time I'm on Wall St. read more

I have never been to this cart, but on Friday, February 10th I went to this stand because I noticed they accepted credit card. I order a chicken gyro and a coke, the woman running the cart did not tell me a total and did not provide a receipt. I went back to my office and had lunch, an hour later I checked my bank account so I can pay my bills online. I was charged $750.00 for my order (which should have been $7.50). I went back outside, and the people running the stand were not apologetic or showed any signs of concerns, they simply said they will pay me back once it clears. I was left with this pending charge throughout the entire weekend. They told me to return on Monday at 10:30am, I went out there and the man running the cart was not there yet. So I left my office once again an hour later to retrieve my money, the $750 charge had cleared. They handed me back $742.50, still charging me for my order. No regard for the stress of the situation. read more

X in a pita was pretty good. I would have liked a bit more meat and salad in there. White sauce was great. Hot sauce was hot (but id have liked it hotter). The friend who brought me here said it was the best spot around downtown. Neither of us were as impressed as expected but he said he may be due to the fact that there was a different server that day (also skipped out on some of the salad items) read more

One word.... delicious! I was nervous about eating from a food truck being new to the area but the lamb gyro I had today was so delicious! And the service was great and friendly. Now I will be hitting the gym tonight to make up for it but it was well worth it! Yum! read more

My onions were raw... and the rice was dry and hard. Overall was ok though. Halal guys has better white sauce.
