    Baklava frozen Greek Yogurt with crushed walnuts & Honey
    Chloe L.

    If you're a fan of Yogurtland (which I am), you will love the frozen yogurt here. More on the icy than creamy side and super tart compared to other spots. Service was a bit slow but our order was made right away upon request. No line, great frozen yogurt. Definitely want to come back to try their meals (and another frozen yogurt)

    Good frozen yogurt!! Love the flavors, super light and delicious and fresh. Perfect for a warm day. Service is very nice and fast.

    My service here was very quick. This location, unlike its Hell's Kitchen counterpart, functions like a Greek-style Chipotle, with some limits on how much you can add to your bowl. I basically built a chicken souvlaki bowl with spicy feta cheese and roasted potatoes. It was excellent. The crunchy, cool vegetables paired well with the warm rice and potatoes, the zesty cheese and lemon, and the juicy grilled chicken. This hit the spot in every regard. The space is cozy and not very crowded. It feels like a hidden gem in the Penn Station area for quick-service dining. In a nutshell, if you enjoy places like Chipotle or CAVA, consider this location.

    This gyro spot was super cute and vibey right from the start. The cashier was amazing, very informative and made ordering easy. The guys handling the food were kind, patient, and welcoming, which always makes a difference. The restaurant is spacious, tidy and neat. Thats always a plus in my eyes as well. Once I got home and finally tried the food... wow. Everything was amazing and full of flavor. Super tasteful and satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else on the menu. 10/10 Highly recommend! Oh and one last thing, I'm obsessed with their logo.

    I'm happy to have tried Gyro Project and now I know a great spot to eat near 34th Street. It is clean. There are some tables to sit and eat located in the back. The bathroom is clean (you need a code). Service was quick and friendly. I got the chicken souvlaki bowl with rice, potatoes, mediterranean salad, spicy feta and tzatziki. I also got a mini bougatsa for dessert. Everything was delicious. I the spicy feta was a little spicier than I've had elsewhere and I'm all for it. And it was the first time I had bougatsa and I'd definitely get it again.

    While the atmosphere is good, the service is average, and the food is actually below average. The restaurant itself has decent seating in the back, and you go to the counter and order your food in a Chipotle-esque style. Service is average, nothing that great. The employee did not seem happy to be there. The main issue is that the food is below average. First of all, for the price you pay, you would think they would allow you to have more than two toppings on your bowl. However, they have strict rules, and do not let you get more than two toppings after you have your base and protein. For the base, they only give you a small scoop of rice that takes up about 1/20 of the entire container. The mixed greens are actually pretty good though. The real issue came with the chicken shawarma. It is extremely dry and tough to even chew. You will actually choke on it from how dry it is. The flavor is also very mild. I did like the few lemon potatoes and french fries that were in the bowl. The tzatziki sauce and the baba ghanoush are both pretty good dips as well as a finish. But for $16 plus tax and tip (so $20+), they really need to allow more free toppings per bowl that have marginal costs to the business like tomatoes and cucumbers. I also tried the spanakopita (spinach pie) which was very OK. Nothing exciting, nothing bad. But for nine dollars, I did expect a little more out of it. I am unsure how to feel about this restaurant chain's gimmicky point system. Every dollar is one point according to the employee, so you have to spend $100 to get a free soda, and it goes all the way up to spending $10,000 to get a one-way ticket to Greece. Depending on the time of year, you can get one-way tickets to Greece for under $350 if you book with an airline directly. Either way, I'm sure it will attract some people to their program. Overall, I think the food really missed the mark, and the customization is quite limited.

    Omg! So excited this new Greek/Mediterranean style place opened in my building. So far have only tried breakfast but will definitely be back for lunch. The tsoureki French toast with sour cherry compote is delicious! Big portion too! Today picked up a breakfast sandwich and chatted with the lovely owner. He gave me a bougatsa to try. My coworkers have all been trying different things...so far everything is good.

    Yum

    Ah so excited for this location and the former Greek from Greece here was also excellent. The Gyro project makes destination worthy bowls and now it's even closer. I'm a huge fan of the salmon and by itself is $8. I also got a falafel bowl for $13 The transition is pretty perfect and between here & Tziki I'm set with amazing Greek grub.

    Had gyro here and it was better than one I got in Astoria. The balance of ingredients and tzatziki sauce was on point

    This spot opened up so close to my job and my coworkers were raving about it so I had to try it. So glad I did! I've been going ever since and on one of my recent visits for lunch they took a long time to make my sister and I's pitas (like 30 min). We ended up asking them what's taking so long and they told us they got a huge order and profusely apologized. They even made her a free latte and didn't make me pay for my sprite. They finally gave us our pitas and even offered 2 free desserts of our choosing! I had the chicken gyro with tzatziki and my sister got the chicken snitzel. She loved it soo much which made me relieved because we waited so long. Beyond excellent service from their time. I also learned they originated in NJ and I tried that location too! Equally as good.

    Employees are quite friendly. I went on a really cold day so there weren't many people, but there is a decently sized seating area with outlets. Good serving size. I've been to a different location for their froyo which is also really good. It seems a bit random for a fast food place to specialize in dessert but it is in fact quite yummy and I would stop by for their froyo again if the mood struck

    Got the chicken gyro platter and the red velvet cookie. The platter was huge. Plenty of chicken. The chicken was very tasty and not overly salty. The Mediterranean salad needs some dressing - maybe a bit of lemon/oil/vinegar? But the ingredients are very fresh. The cookie is very flavorful and big - again. I would come again. Service was fast and friendly. The place is also cute. Nice small tables. Really more like fast food but comfortable enough!

    Gyro meat omelette with latte.
    Mike G.

    Visiting from Georgia and this place is so good I ate here twice for breakfast! Breakfast omelette with gyro meat, potatoes, onions and tomato's. They have an orange sauce with feta cheese in it and it's outstanding! The people here are amazing and even remembered my order from the day before! Highly recommend! I already dove in so, the picture isn't of the original portion size, which is huge!

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

    I spontaneously went here on a night out and may have stumbled across the BEST asian gelato place…read moreever. The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once. The space itself is small, so expect to find a spot outside to eat but there are benches along the windows.

I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
