Great Greek food and ambiance. If you are from New York City, and specifically Queens, then you are an aficionado of Greek food. Dont believe me? Find me a mean Gyro in Tulsa. I can get you twelve, each better than the one before, on Northern Boulevard alone. All that said the reason Gyro World is a must for locals and visitors is that they hit the staples square and solid but also offer up a more authentic variation in the effort. Presentation and flavor is tantamount to this-is-how-we-eat-it, if you will. For locals and Queens/NYC veteran foodies it is exotic familiar. For the newcomers, you are first attempts into Greek here are going to be authentic homestyle. Rock the lemon potatoes, order extra grilled pita well done, split a salad and order what looks good as an entree. Oh and the spirit in this place on a late spring to early fall evening, when the doors are open, on a Friday or Saturday, is incredible. The wife and I spent four hours with a friend and his gal one night. Blew off the other plans and just ate and talked. This is a great place.

I order a catering event for my place of business. I repeatedly state to be there by 12 noon because office has a lunch break at that time. Not only did they come at 1:30 but all my sodas were diet !! 8 2 liters of diet soda!! Rather embarrassing !! Fast forward a couple of months later my wife and her friends decide to throw an end of the year bash for the 5th graders and go to gyro world to cater!!!! Against my advice.... Well they failed again!!! An hour late so far Called them and they said one of our machines broke down blah blah blah.!!!! No phone call first of all second, theres always an emergency repair man for such busy places Any ways this place is a failure in all ways Surprised they are still there

This is the first time ive ever really had a gyro, and i really enjoyed it. I order the greek gyro, open sandwich which the server told me is their traditional gyro. So i was expecting it to be all wrapped up, kinda like a burrito, but it was not. Nonetheless it was still delicious, the pork was so juicy and the pita bread was perfect. The white sauce that they have with it was amazing. I could eat this everyday. My boyfriend got the beef and lamb gyro closed sandwich, which is the one that came out looking like a burrito. He devoured it in less than 3 minutes, so i think its safe to say he enjoyed it. The service was good, we had a greek waitress who was very patient and helpful in selecting our entree.

If you are hankering for large portions of greek food this is the place. Diner style type of ambiance but the service is quick and the food is delicious. Go for the greek salad which has ample amounts of feta and olive leaf wraps. The gyro wrap is also great. Nicely flavored tziki sauce with a perfectly cooked gyro lamb meat with all the fresh veggies. The chicken patty with fries is also great. A well season chicken patty and wonderful fries. Fried up nicely and soft on the inside. Also had the gyro plate which had perfectly cooked lamb and beef gyro with fries and a salad. All were wonderful items. Ample portions that can be shared with a large group. Ill definitely be back.

I love everything about this place. No matter how busy they are theyre always polite and courteous. The meat platter for 2 is huge and very inexpensive and ridiculously good. Horiatiki salad, all gyros, kebabs, souvlakis, and fries are best Ive ever had around Bayside/flushing. They make the best tzatziki sauce and stuffed grape leaves. I havent found anything I dont like about this place. Except that they dont deliver to 11367. :( that makes me sad cause Im addicted to this place! But honestly you cant go wrong here, perfect seasoning and huge portions at more than fair prices.

Youll never go wrong by ordering their version of lemon chicken orzo, Avgolemono. They have great gyros and souvlaki sandwich platters. If you are looking for a healthier option a small Greek salad with grilled chicken is super tasty and perfect for two. It comes with grilled chicken, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta, stuffed grape leaves and romaine lettuce. Service is fast and friendly and it is such a great option for dining in and takeout when you just want to cozy up at home and enjoy some great food.

I ordered a Greek salad without anchovies and it came with anchovies. The fries were cold and rock hard. The chicken kebab gyro looked like it was put together in haste and had no flavor. The pita bread was so soggy, It felt like it would fall apart if I picked it up. I ordered two sprites and got one- i was not able to get a refund because I paid with a card and they would not drop the second one off. I would have to get it delivered with my next order, which will not be happening! Sorry guys- major fail.

We have been coming for years and usually the food is hit or miss. However they never get the order right and food is old when they deliver. The worst was when I tried to sit down and eat a couple of weeks ago and the waitress - the one who always looks like she ate a sour lemon, ignored me for five minutes when I was at the door waiting and wouldnt accommodate a table for 2 that was empty by the window on a hot day. I left and will never go back. They need better management.

Just moved to NYC. Good food is hard to find suprisingly. Tons of mediocre overpriced restaurants. Excellent Gyro, both types they serve. Would have liked more sauce as I took it to go, will ask for more next visit. Good portion decent price. 1 most important thing also that will bring me back is their friendly attitude and service. I wont go back to a lot of places just for the lack of that. alone. They act like you need them. Keep it up Gyro World.

Korean/Chinese comfort food at its best. Very good toothsome noodles used in jja jjang myun and jjam ppong. I always get the half-half which combines both dishes. The jjam ppong is particularly good here, and the non-spicy variety has a unique smoky quality. Their tang soo yuk (fried beef in thick sweet sauce) is also very tasty (and the chicken and shrimp versions are great too). Havent tried everything on the menu but well on my way...

Very disappointed , food went up, $$$. Rather go to a diner. Gyro world was a reasonable place to eat, but not anymore. wont come back, furthermore, there is an extra charge for everything. ..it is not worth it. I always got an extra tziky sauce for my food but not today. I did not wanted to pay an extra dollar for some sauce and it was not for the extra dollar but the fact that the food was already over priced ...

No matter what time of the day you come here, the food is always fresh and delicious. I always order chicken souvlaki with extra tzatziki sauce..wow its delicious grilled chicken, with onions, tomatoes and lettuce. The greek chicken soup with lemon is great too. The food is cheap and plentiful and they have a great selection of beers to choose from. Parking is a bit difficult to find depending on the time of the day.
