Please, please avoid this place unless you're really starving and just need something to sustain your body…the gyros are pretty gross. I just happened to be walking by this place on a Saturday night when most other things in the area are closed – I thought it couldn't be that bad…gyros are pretty simple meals, but they still managed to make this one not great…it wasn't anything specific, I guess it just didn't have very much flavor and tasted kind of old…
This place is cheap so that is good thing, but the food…go elsewhere.
In an area as bleak as the Financial District during the late night, there are few options for eats like this place. Cordato's AKA Dirty Mike's next door isn't always as 24 hours as they claim to be, leaving few people with no choice. Its a true shame too, because this place is a lot worse than it looks.
Upon first glance, anyone who has had gyros in the past will know this is neither a Middle Eastern or Greek/Mediterranean cop off of any authentic establishment. Its a small place that is clean and convenient, similar to getting a bagel from a convenience store than a street cart. Its overly bright at times in here and while the seating area is limited to no more than a couple of tables, at least there is a TV playing in the background to keep the place from being totally boring.
The Gyros themselves are a disappointment. Most gyros I've seen are skimpy on the meat and lacking severely on the flavor side. With $6 one could get themselves a combo with fries and while this place seems more popular during lunch, I'd avoid at all costs after 8PM.
So I've eaten here since 2005 right around when things starting gettting redeveloped downtown post 9/11. It had some dark times in between. They may have turned it around.
Something haven't changed the cucumber sauce they put on their sandwiches are still awesome. They have this quirky thing they do, they stuff their gyros with fries. The gyro used to be much bigger but I don't mind that it's shrunk.
It would have gotten 4 stars if they still sliced the meat off the skewer but they don't do that anymore.
