The previously named The Gyro Place on Ditmars Blvd is now called Aphrodite. The name change happened about a month ago but the place remains under the same management. The food is the same too but they've revamped their look a bit and designed a new menu. While the gyros here are not my favorite, they're decent and so is the rest of the food. I'd recommend it for take-out or a casual, quick lunch or dinner. Nothing fancy--just fast, convenient Greek food.Here is a peek at the menu that I grabbed:
Appetizers:
Pikilia - Assorted appetizer sampler...$8.45
Lountza - Pork filet Cyprus style...$4.95
Fried Zucchini - With egg, Cyprus style...$7.50

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that, what didn't you like?
ReplyDeleteThe gyros are bland, bland, bland. The meat tastes undercooked (soggy) and their tzatziki has the consistency and flavor of skim milk.
ReplyDeleteThis place has the best Chicken Souvlaki on stick I've ever eaten.
