Gyro Project's food quality is consistently good at the various locations I've tried. I love their bowls or gyros with chicken souvlaki. Dolmades, lemon potatoes, babaganoush, tzatziki and their froyo are all great. If you want a small sweet, they offer a $2 froyo shot!! read more

Came in for a quick snack. My husband likes to come here for lunch. I Just wanted one of their spinach and feta pastries. They are mini sized and perfect for a stomachless snacker. My husband enjoys his chicken pitas for lunch and says it's a great value. read more

The Gyro Project - Spinach and feta pastry - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

General notes- Bowls are a much better deal than the pitas. Also, regardless of the restaurant's name, the souvlaki is much better than their gyro. Also, they have an app that gives deals such as $5 off your initial order. I have been to this fast casual Greek spot with a handful of locations a few times. They remind me a bit of Eons, which I used to go to more often when it was closer to work, and it seems like a new one of these is going to pop up at 1st/34th, which I'm definitely looking forward to. By comparison, I would say that the portions are a good amount bigger at least compared to the old location of Eons (and definitely a lot bigger than the newer location,) but the quality overall is very slightly worse, whether it be the meats or some of the side dishes. However, they offer more drinks and snacks compared to the other spot, along with a Greek fro-yo selection and even a Greek-style breakfast. The spot is large otherwise, and the workers here are friendly. The first time, I got the Beef and Lamb Gyro Bowl over a bed of rice and Greek slaw, which is a mix of cabbage, carrots, lemon, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. My sides were gigante beans and shaved kefalotiri cheese, and my "sauces" were spicy feta (or tirokafteri) and baba ghanoush with some added pita for free. The bowl was just under $15 pre-tax or a bit over $16 post. The bowl was very large, but the gyro was a bit dry. The slaw and the various sauces helped, and the gigante beans were good as well, with the bit of salty kefalotiri having a nice texture compared to the usual feta. It was good overall and definitely worth the price point. The other time, I went with a Chicken Souvlaki Pita, which is a few bucks cheaper at $12.95 before tax. I asked the worker there to substitute the normal onions for pickled onions, which was done, and the pita otherwise came with some tomatoes and French fries inside, along with some tzatziki. This, by comparison, was a bit smaller, as expected, but I still enjoyed it, with the chicken being tender and juicy and much better than the gyro meat. The fries stayed crispy even after traveling, and the rest of the ingredients were of pretty good quality again. It was good overall and better than a similar wrap at Eons or in terms of closer places, Souvlaki GR. Outside of the slightly dry gyro, this place is a bit better than the many Chipotle-style chains in the surrounding area. I would/will go back when I am in the mood for decent Greek grub. read more

Loving the new Gyro Project location. Friendly staff and delicious food. I got the bowl with beef and lamb, fries (which are seasoned amazingly) with tsaziki and baba ganouj and arugula. They have a desert menu with fresh cookies, boxed cookies and froyo. You can build rewards with the app and it gets 20% off. The space is more hrs. And go with some tables and chairs. Thank you Amanda for your help. read more

What a lovely establishment, very friendly service and you're treated when you walk in. I love you can see them make your order and you can select want you want. The chicken/lamb gyro was good. Instead of fries on top I was able to substitute with Mediterranean salad. It was very filling and delish. It very clean and there are seats to dine in. I recommend this place. read more

Gyro Project is one of my go-to spots for a quick work lunch or an easy dinner. I usually build a custom bowl loaded with veggies and protein, and everything always tastes super fresh and flavorful. The ingredients are consistently high quality, and you can really tell they care about what they're serving. I absolutely love their Greek slaw and the dolmades. The service is just as great as the food. Ignacio is the best and always takes great care of me, which keeps me coming back. It's reliable, delicious, and perfect when you want something satisfying and delicious. read more

i would give gyro project over five stars if i could. i have been exploring new york city trying to find my favorite frozen yogurt chain, and gyro project has incredible greek yogurt. i tried their limited edition tart flavor with unique toppings to start off. the tart flavor had the perfect level of sweetness, it was creamy and a good portion size. the toppings are interesting. i had candied figs and baklava crisps, which were the perfect addition to the sweet and creamy yogurt. there is lots of seating inside and outside. i will 100% be back. it is a little bit more on the pricey side, it was around nine or ten dollars, and there are no different sizes. it's not self-serve. honestly though, great service, and i will 100% be back. i couldn't recommend this spot more. read more

An apparently nicely kept store. Stopped by their 51st st location after teasing myself with their online menu for hrs. Went there fantasizing on sinking my teeth in their pork belly. Their service was slow. There weren't that many people at the store being that the lunch rush was already over. The attendant that was helping the two customers in front of me seemed a bit overwhelmed with what the customers wanted (which was simply chicken skewers). I told the attendant I wanted a bowl with pork belly (per their own instructions, that's what you tell them first) twice... then someone else takes over and she asks me what sides I want... so, I chose my sides... to the, for the 3rd time, tell them what protein I want: Pork Belly... she looks around and she says they don't have it. Supposed to be a limited time item and they advertise on their website and there's even a sign hanging on their sneeze guard that says "PORK BELLY". I told them to cancel and I walked out. I refuse to settle for "whatever else" they have. A waste of my time. read more

Coworker suggested we try this place for lunch and we were both pleasantly surprised. While not cheap, the cost is on pair for a midtown "bowl/wrap" lunch and the quality was higher than other places. I got half size of the chicken club entree and it was two large sandwich wedges that could easily be full-size. The fries could have been crisper but nicely seasoned. His salmon entree was similarly large portioned and the same issue where the lemon potatoes could have been more roasted. The seating area is small but adequate. The Greek salt and olive oil cruets are nice touches. We'd both go back for the make your own options and try the fro-yo. read more

We were a bit disappointed by our experience with The Gyro Project on the east side. The ingredients in the dishes didn't seem to meld super well, and felt a bit wet and not cohesive. The chicken was unfortunately a bit dry as well. Maybe we had it at an off time, but based on that experience I would not return. read more

I like the tzatziki and froyo here but feel I'm consistently underportioned when I order the fryo to go. People who order in person get much larger portions but I prefer to take out. After my last disappointing experience, I will stop ordering take out here. read more

I picked up lunch from this restaurant twice this month and I really like it. I had the vegetarian bowl both times and it was delicious. I also really love that this restaurant uses olive oil exclusively! Two reasons this place doesn't get 5 stars: the music is so loud that you have to yell your order over the glass partition to be heard. Also, the lemon potatoes are unevenly cooked and sometimes are too raw to eat. Aside from those small details I really love this place and highly recommend it! read more

This is a review for the froyo only: I absolutely love the froyo at the upper westside Gyro Project, it's actually my favorite in the city. But I was extremely disappointed by the difference between the east side locations froyo and the west side's. Every time I've been to The Gyro Project on the upper west side, the froyo has been creamy, smooth and a bright white. It was instantly apparent the upper east side's version was a stark comparison - it was icy, watery, a yellowish off white color and lacking the quality that I've come to know at the upper west side location. Such a let down, both establishments are less than a mile apart, but they have drastically different froyo experiences. Don't come here if you're looking for froyo, do yourself a favor and go to the upper west side location, it's truly worth the trek! read more

Had a lovely dinner last night at this new restaurant. I had a vegetarian bowl and it was delicious. What stood out the most, unlike other new similar restaurants, is that the individual ingredients stood out all on their own. For example, the lemon potatoes were perfectly tender with just the right amount of lemon. The giant beans also had a nice texture. The falafel, which I had baked instead of fried, was very satisfying . My favorite was the tzatziki sauce. It was really thick and tasted amazing with the warm pita. Also, nothing was overly salty, which was a welcome distinction. All in all, a great meal and a heck of a bargain for only $15. George and the rest of the crew were very pleasant. I almost want to go over now and grab a side of beans and tzatziki. Hmmmm. read more

Have been to this location of The Gyro Project a ton of times and always have an amazing experience!! It's a takeout restaurant (or quick sit down) but the food is high quality and tastes so much better than other Greek places around the city (especially love the tzatziki, pita, and chicken souvlaki). You can also tell the staff really cares about the customers and food - Ignacio always takes care of my bf and I when we go and is eager to chat with everyone!!

I will start by saying that, I came to this place searching for better options in the area. The decor inside looks great and the store is pristine and organized perfectly. I was greeted immediately and the team asked for any questions, I order the chicken gyro and an orange cake. Food was fresh and packed with flavors. Not your traditional gyro place, instead a better place that as a New Yorker I didint know we need it. read more

Had the salmon bowl and the salmon was super salty! Portions very small. Cost $22.00. Server gave like a table spoon of greens and cucumber. Will make my own salmon now at home read more

Great lamb and beef gyro for a solid price. Satisfied and surprised how fresh the tzatziki was. Easily one of my favorite blends I've had in a while. Bonus points for the team inviting us to sample a sauce or two we may not have had before! 8.5/10 read more

My favorite restaurant in NYC, hands down. I work near here and come basically every day. Maria and Ignacio treat me like family. The food is as good as a sit-down restaurant (arguably better) but as fast as a Cava (so much better than Cava). Seed-oil free and fry with Zero Acre Farm oils. Fast quality at its finest. Highly recommend. read more

A new local favorite for us! They also have the best frozen yogurt! The service is great - they are all always so nice and double check my order - when I came home and realized my meal was missing my protein they quickly found someone to remedy the situation and delivered a makeup and more!! Great food and great service what more could you want read more
