The food is delicious!!!!!The atmosphere is beautiful and it’s very clean inside. I ordered a gyro with fries and it was AMAZING!!!!!!
Having lived in Astoria almost 20 years, I've had the pleasure of dining on delicious Greek cuisine, and Taste of Gyro is one of, if not the best Greek food I've tasted. The chicken souvlaki platter has THE MOST flavorful, juicy chicken with incredible fries (that are spiced and cooked to perfection). The Branzini special I had was served with an incredible tomato based sauce that was unlike any I've tasted and out of this world delicious. Be sure to try the zucchini fritters that are fresh, succulent, and served with astounding tzatziki.Add to this, the most down to earth, friendly, and welcoming staff in a neat, clean, and quiet mom and pop environment, and you've got a place that keeps me coming back. It's just a 5 minute walk off of Ditmars and Steinway, on a quiet residential neighborhood and worth the trip. Do yourself a favor, and delight in the taste sensations they provide, and support hard working folks who put their heart and soul into everything that comes out of the kitchen.

Stepping into this Greek restaurant is like being transported straight to the heart of Athens. The staff greets you with genuine smiles and an eagerness to make your meal memorable.The menu is a delightful journey through Greek cuisine, offering both classic dishes and innovative takes that surprise and delight. The standout for me was the Moussaka, with layers so tender and flavorful, it melted in my mouth. The Tzatziki sauce served alongside fresh, warm pita is a simple yet perfect start to the meal, with its creamy texture and refreshing cucumber and dill notes.What truly sets this place apart, though, is the attention to detail in every dish. The ingredients are always fresh, the flavors are balanced to perfection, and the presentation is beautiful. Pair your meal with a selection from their impressive list of Greek wines for the perfect complement.
Stopped by to grab take out. It is a very cute Greek restaurant and spacious. I ordered two pitas one with chicken souvlaki and one with lamb gyro. Both were so delicious and came filled with onions and fries. I saw a lot of other Greek patrons and it's definitely a neighborhood joint. Would definitely come back and try other items. The owner was also very kind and the service was quick.
This is currently one of Astoria's most special restaurants. It's deceptively named Taste of Gyro, when their quality and range of excellent dishes and attention to detail and quality ingredients goes very far beyond the casual and limited spot you might expect by that name. This family owned and run restaurant fully demonstrates the highest level example of love of culture, cuisine, and sharing that only a rare few of restaurants achieve. Our fourth visit was last night, and I was maybe even more astounded by how NOTHING escapes their care and attention, including Astoria's best tzatziki and baklava, a somehow delicious mid-winter salad, with superior olives, and my husband's now unequivocal vote for best chicken souvlaki in Western Queens. Great hummus, and fresh, warmed pita. I kept expecting something would be just average there. Nothing was.

Delicious food! Everything was fresh and handmade. Tzatziki sauce was the best part. Will be coming back for more ?

I had the pleasure of dining at Taste of Gyro recently, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The authenticity of the Greek cuisine here is unmatched. We ordered the gyro and the chicken souvlaki platter, both of which were succulent and full of flavor. The zucchini and eggplant fries were a crispy, delicious surprise, and the hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The grape leaves were another highlight, showcasing the care and authenticity put into each dish.The owner of Taste of Gyro made our visit even more special. It's evident that this is a passion-driven, family-friendly local business, and their hospitality shines through. They even treated us to complimentary feta fries, which were a delightful addition to our meal.Overall, I am thrilled to support this new local gem. The combination of delicious, authentic Greek food, warm hospitality, and a family-friendly atmosphere makes Taste of Gyro a must-visit. I can't wait to return and indulge in their culinary delights once again.
