Soo..... directly after leaving the new Burger King on 15th (which is trash BTW and extremely mismanaged and filthy), I walked into New York Gyro and was immediately greeted by their friendly staff cleaning up for the night. In my option, this place is a hidden gem in the heart of Allentown. Awesome staff, great music lol and amazing food, potions and service along with a cool atmosphere and really clean store front. I'd imagine the entire menu is great, but I'd recommend my favorites which are the loaded lamb gyro with white sauce and any of their platters. Keep up the good work guys! This is the first review i've ever posted and I work at a restaurant haha! I was just impressed tonight and thought I'd take a minute to share. read more

I had dinner relived from this restaurant two nights in a row. The first night I had a chicken platter with a small salad and the second night a had a chicken gyro. I liked the food better the second night. I would try them again; however, there are other places I prefer. read more

Order cancelled over an hour after order was placed and after the update stated it was on the way....I should know better than order here(happened twice) but sometimes you want a gyro read more

First time, last time. Low scores on presentation, customer service and flavor. Steel City Gyro and Sahara were closed, but this place was open at a time I needed to handle a serious gyro craving. I should have been mature and waited for better, but nooooo, took a chance here. Online ordering said to retain the order number for pickup, but when we got to the place, they had no idea about any number, and wanted a name. When my spouse was asked by them what was in our order, they did not understand when it was pronounced it correctly as "yirr-oh" and snidely corrected us to "jie-roh". Our first clue that whoever is making this stuff, it's not their native cuisine. At this time, the online menu doesn't offer the classic lamb/beef gyro, so I ended up with beef. No, it wasn't lovely, thin sliced, juicy rotisserie roasted beef either, but chunks, big ones, and dry, overcooked. The white sauce was tasteless. In fairness, the salad-y parts were good. The hummus with pita was a visual joke. Honestly, 2 tablespoons of hummus over a single sliced pita that was dusted with some orangey stuff that looked pretty but lacked flavor. After the unsatisfying meal, I thought the decent sized portion of baklava was going to be the saving grace. I ate the doughy part first to get to enjoy the filling solo, and it had almost no flavor - not very sweet, and you could not discern there were nuts in there, or what kind. Next time my inner child is crying for a gyro, the adult is going to take over and say "No, wait til you can get a good one." read more

Quality has gone down at the Allentown location. Last 3 times I ordered in the past 2 months, chicken has been dry and at times rock hard. Rice clumped. Pita uncooked. Somehow Bethlehem location is still closed? When you call the number, the automatic voicemail sounds like it's open, but when you go there, it's closed... This place was awesome when they opened up, coming from someone who lived in Manhattan for 5 years, it was the closest to a halal food truck. Best wishes they can recover. read more

Nice food nice people! I like gyrogyrogyrogyrpgyrogyrogyrogyrogyrogyrogyrogyrogyrogyro Gyros! read more

I came here multiple times and the food is okay. However, they really short you on the protein, or the protein would be DRY and over cooked, they always getting your order wrong and the gyro meat can be incredibly greasy. read more

New York Gyro - Light on the protein and most of the gyro meat I had to throw out because it was burnt and hard. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Onion rings were burned. They forgot to send the desert. (And door dash then instead of refining me gave me credit for my next purchase. When I told them I wanted a refund they said they give credit. So I won't be using them either.) read more

They was better a few months ago fell on less food for more moneynd lettuce dnt look fresh

Update from 3 years ago. My review didn't change, this time the staff is more rude, food is to expensive for the quality. I was hoping it would change 3 years later, but I will not be returning. My husband and I both had chicken and rice, $12.50 a piece, white sauce tasted like nothing, chicken was rubbery and flavorless. I tried, but that's it for me not again!!! read more

I love the food from this place. Never had a complaint about anything that I've ordered BUT..... Customer Service really really really SUCKS! I went in to order a lamb gyro but while ordering I felt so uncomfortable because it's like it bothered the worker at the register that I was ordering. He was speaking so low that when he asked me a question I could not understand him and he got upset. He picked up his head and rolled his eyes. Then he over charges me and I ask him why my order was so high so the other girl came over to find out and she too had a bad attitude! My God I wanted to get out of there so fast. I understand that it's annoying and stressful to work with customers but if someone is coming in and being really nice; you shouldn't be mean. You chose to work there so learn how to work with the customers. Oh and it's not the first time this happens, this is all the time! read more

If my kid had his way he would eat here every day. Hey that rhymed lol. Very very good gyros the best in town. Although personally I can't eat a Gyro every day I do recommend this place if you like gyros and I've got other things also! read more

This restaurant has mediocre food, and it's definitely not good enough to deal with the terrible service. I've ordered from this place multiple times, and every single time there is something wrong with my order (missing items, made incorrectly, etc.) Also, the people working are unprofessional and rude; on top of that, they are not even close to following the city's covid standards. Really bad place, I wish there were better halal/gyro options in the Allentown area. read more

I ordered New York Gyro from Door Dash and included clear instructions for how I wanted my meal prepared. I asked for corn and both sauces on the side. It was first dropped off at the wrong address and then the order was wrong. I called to see what happened to the order and the guy who answered the phone was extremely rude. I asked was there not instructions included with the payment? He said no and hung up the phone. No problem, I will never eat at a New York Gyro anywhere on Earth again. If Door Dash is going to associate themselves with businesses like this I won't use them either. read more

Twice, twice in a row. First time the order didn't show up, and the guy (whoever was responding the phone) cannot locate my order. Second time, sent wrong orders, and "yeah you can re-order". You got to work on your customer service. read more

Rude rude rude. The young girl at the counter made fun of my name when I picked up my order. I really can't get over that. Lost my appetite. read more

Will never order again from this place. I'll take my money else where,food was burt and terribly overcooked I only ate because I was starving! was told to call door doordash when they made the food wtf smh...Not Authentic Mediterranean food,how can someone support local businesses going thru this experience!? read more

Prices have went up... Almost doubled for the platter. There used to be options for regular or large platter, that's gone now (at Grubhub). Won't be ordering anymore. They're also charging 5 bucks for small fries. Literally 20 pieces...maybe even less. Good luck getting people to order your pricey food. It's not that great. read more

Food was not that like New York or Philly. I've had better food. Gyro place needs to have Lamb not beef. But The meat was hard to chew (pause). Reminds of Halal Guys which also has no flavor. read more

First time ordering from this establishment and it will be my last... Food was just not up to par, not quite sure if the gyro had lamb it tasted like dried out beef, on top of that they put so much sauce on the gyro that it made the pita very soggy. We decided to throw it out and order from another restaurant . Definitely not what we expected . read more

I definitely missed New York's No frills street cart halal food. This is basically the same thing the white sauce is very similar to New York's. The chicken , rice & white sauce is great & cheap. One happy New Yorker living in the valley. read more

We've gotten take out gyro bowls from this place several times and WOW! This is now a take out food I crave regularly. I usually get the gyro meant and my husband loves the chicken bowl with their spicy sauce and loves it. A nice little local gem!! read more

I ordered a beef platter and all it came with was rice and meat thats it, after calling them and asking what it comes with they said it came with rice, meat salad on the side fries and pita, i got none of that!!! Definitely not a new york gyro as they claim to be and the rudest people work there!!!! Do not order here read more

Very unorganized. Ordered online and they gave my order to someone else. Very bad customer service and gyros and other items are not really worth it. Would not really recommend. read more

NEVER AGAIN!!! I ordered via GrubHub at 7:47pm on a Monday night. It arrived TWO HOURS LATER! 9:40! I texted my driver during this two hours and she told me they were extremely rude to her and disregarded the fact that she had been waiting so long. I called to ask where my food was and he told me it was "going out right now." I told her what he said and she was told "10 more minutes!" Unbelievable. And no, the food was DEFINITELY not worth a two hour wait!!! Somehow it was cold even though it apparently took over an hour to make, our pita was burnt to a crisp, and the fries and baklava were soggy. ZERO stars. read more

Don't get me wrong, place got good food, terrible customer service and knowledge on how to operate a business and treat customers. Employees not following proper social distancing guidelines and not wearing masks. To many signs. Waited over an hour in there after ordering online 30 minutes before that. Extremely rude and disrespectful read more

Omg. The food was delicious. The manager Carlos is AMAZING, the owners and workers really know the value of customer service. A must visit. read more

It took 1:15 minutes to get here that's too long for a delivery that's 5 blocks away from my house, food was cold, fries were soggy, and the breading on the wings was too salty.. not impressed! read more

Not fresh! They cover all the poor quality ingredients with cheap overpowering sauce. All you can taste is the sauce. Very cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more

Love the food and the service sweet guys the owners good food the baklava homemade yes

Good Food Just A Little Pricy I Would Definitely Go Again Customer Service Is Good. I Have Tried Every Gyro They Have I Wish They Had More Drinks To Choose From read more

Wow! Ordered delivery to my hotel on New Year's Eve. My husband and I got the gyro platters and were blown away. There was plenty of rice, a great little salad and tons of meat, but the kicker was the sauce! I'm a sucker for heavy sauce and this spot didn't disappoint. The special hot sauce was indeed quite hot, while the white sauce toned it down a little bit to make it a really great meal. The large platter would have been enough for two meals if we had any self restraint. Treat yourself to this restaurant! read more

Ordered on 6/6 through door dash. Was told the order was confirmed and ready for pickup. I get there, wait patiently inside until someone behind the counter asks me what name is on my order. I tell her, she looks in the back and talks to her coworker and then comes back up and says she just cancelled it. As I stand there confused she asks the person behind me what they are waiting for. She then looks back at me and says "your order is cancelled" almost as if she was really saying 'you can go now'. No apology, no explanation. Food has always been good... guess I'll have to find a new gyro place. read more

My food arrived 30 minutes late. The bag was soggy from the food cooling off into it which means my food was cold. Two of the chicken nuggets looked like they had been thrown in the microwave and the rest were burnt. The "lamb" gyro is not even lamb not to mention whatever it was it tasted horrible. Worst gyro I've ever had . After waiting so long and still being hungry I actually threw the gyro out. I chose to stay impartial to some of these reviews but now I agree - DO NOT PURCHASE FOOD FROM HERE. It's literally a waste of money. The only thing good I have to say is when I called the restaurant the man on the phone was nice and so was the delicery driver. That's it. read more

Owners, Iffy & Moe has brought the NYC flair to 7th St. while making everyone that walks through the doors feel at home. Great food. Great service. Hands down. Best gyro spot in the Valley. read more

Awesome falafel gyro!!! I recommend changing the word white sauce to Tzatziki sauce because I didn't know what white sauce meant. All in all really good and priced reasonably. read more

The food here used to be good when they first opened. Whenever I go now there's always new kids taking your order and making your food. They slap the food together, always miss stuff on the order and DROWN the food in sauce. It's disgusting. I gave this place the benefit of the doubt several times, never again. Close this place down ASAP. For the name to be NEW YORK GYRO is a joke, not comparable at all. You'll get better food off any halal food truck in NYC. read more

Was really good when they opened, I went back about a week ago and the quality did go down the drain. I'll stick to halal guys.
