Once youbfind it, the truck that is, the menu shows prices and an "A" grade inspection sticker. Everyone gets so impressed by a little paper letter from the city, like an "A" means the guy cooking the meat is a saint or something. This whole food setup, it's about as ridiculous and depressing as anything I've ever seen. ​First off, you walk up to the blue food truck, and the side of it is completely covered with a giant menu listing every combination of meat, rice, and pitas you could ever imagine. ​Then you get the food you I orderedin a shouting voice, everyone is shouting, it's a total circus. They hand us our two giant skewers souvlaki sticks, somebody had the brilliant idea to stick big, thick slabs of bread right on top of the skewers like stupid little helmets. So there you are, standing on the sidewalk in dirty Jackson Heights holding two sticks of meat while the counterman in front of you is not exactly smiling, dude looks pissed. He's wearing a jacket over a shirt with a giant, goofy panda face on it, looking like a complete weirdo. ​If you don't get the sticks, you can get these aluminum takeout tins sitting on a tray, crammed full of heavy yellow rice, grilled meat, and pitas all wrapped up in branded paper. We also ordered a big white plate covered in chopped-up chicken, black olives, white sauce. ​It all smells like char and grease, and it's supposed to be the "best souvlaki" around, but the whole experience just leaves you feeling sort of sad and greasy. It really does.

I even showed her "buy 1 get 1 free" deal on the Uber Eats app AND my receipt but she not only even tried to honor the deal but also was being kinda rude.

I figured that it is waste of my time to argue with her since she CLEARLY did not want to honor the deal so i just walked away. Please do not fall for false advertisement. They just want to lure customers. Very unhappy experience.

Kalispera! This is…read morewhat I needed. This is what I was looking for. For one of the most authentic gyros (pronounced Yee-ros), outside of Greece, this is the place to go. The location in the West Village may have won my heart, but this location may have won my soul. The genuine Greek staff (who absolutely loved me attempting to speak Greek at them), the absolutely mouth watering food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the ease of getting here from the subway, the stars align perfectly for that light lunch or dinner option without breaking the bank. For a more authentic experience, get the pork gyro. They make it exactly as one would expect to get it in Greece, fries included. It comes out quick and it tastes fresh. This is how it is done over there, and ordering a sour cherry juice only adds to the authenticity. I also got Greek bottled water, but that is only because I needed to round out the whole meal. I got the Halloumi fries as a side, but they are too filling. Maybe a little too American for the American palette. You also have to get some dessert because it is also delicious and so delectable. Efharisto.

The gyro was honestly a little bit dry; definitely could have used more tzatziki sauce and the chicken lacked a bit of flavor and I didn't love the texture. I did really like the way the French fries were seasoned. The peach drink was ok, did not really taste like peach. There are better Greek spots in the Astoria area.

This four-meat stunner is accompanied by a surprisingly large salad and a side choice that hopefully will be lemon potatoes. I was unsure why I came here in August and posted only a salad picture.

If you're only opting for one meat, my favorite is the beef and lamb gyro. I enjoyed the service as well as the seasonal sidewalk dining option.

The sandwich is stuffed with a generous portion of rich skewered halloumi cheese fresh from the grill, perfectly-done fries, a mayo-based sauce and veggies. I plan to become a regular here!
