  General notes- Bowls are a much better deal than the pitas. Also, regardless of the restaurant's name, the souvlaki is much better than their gyro. Also, they have an app that gives deals such as $5 off your initial order. I have been to this fast casual Greek spot with a handful of locations a few times. They remind me a bit of Eons, which I used to go to more often when it was closer to work, and it seems like a new one of these is going to pop up at 1st/34th, which I'm definitely looking forward to. By comparison, I would say that the portions are a good amount bigger at least compared to the old location of Eons (and definitely a lot bigger than the newer location,) but the quality overall is very slightly worse, whether it be the meats or some of the side dishes. However, they offer more drinks and snacks compared to the other spot, along with a Greek fro-yo selection and even a Greek-style breakfast. The spot is large otherwise, and the workers here are friendly. The first time, I got the Beef and Lamb Gyro Bowl over a bed of rice and Greek slaw, which is a mix of cabbage, carrots, lemon, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. My sides were gigante beans and shaved kefalotiri cheese, and my "sauces" were spicy feta (or tirokafteri) and baba ghanoush with some added pita for free. The bowl was just under $15 pre-tax or a bit over $16 post. The bowl was very large, but the gyro was a bit dry. The slaw and the various sauces helped, and the gigante beans were good as well, with the bit of salty kefalotiri having a nice texture compared to the usual feta. It was good overall and definitely worth the price point. The other time, I went with a Chicken Souvlaki Pita, which is a few bucks cheaper at $12.95 before tax. I asked the worker there to substitute the normal onions for pickled onions, which was done, and the pita otherwise came with some tomatoes and French fries inside, along with some tzatziki. This, by comparison, was a bit smaller, as expected, but I still enjoyed it, with the chicken being tender and juicy and much better than the gyro meat. The fries stayed crispy even after traveling, and the rest of the ingredients were of pretty good quality again. It was good overall and better than a similar wrap at Eons or in terms of closer places, Souvlaki GR. Outside of the slightly dry gyro, this place is a bit better than the many Chipotle-style chains in the surrounding area. I would/will go back when I am in the mood for decent Greek grub.

  Their cheesecake is one of the best I’ve tried in a long time. It’s creamy, dense, and has that authentic New York flavor that’s hard to find. The portion size is generous but not overwhelming. The balance of flavors is spot on, making it incredibly satisfying. If you love cheesecake, this one won’t disappoint.

  Gyro Project is one of the few truly seed-oil-free spots around, which already makes it an easy go-to for me. On top of that, the food hits the spot every time. It’s super fresh, and the portion sizes are big enough that you actually leave full and satisfied. Everything here tastes like your having a meal in Greece. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and really comfortable. It’s perfect whether you’re grabbing something quick or sitting down with a friend. And definitely ask for Maria. She’s the best, super friendly, and makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

  I was actually going somewhere else for breakfast and the storefront caught my eye, so I decided to give this place a try. As I walked in I noticed the store was very clean and modern. I ordered my food which I thought was priced very fairly. The food didn’t take very long to come out. Was very warm and ingredients tastes fresh. I got the signature bacon egg cheese feta sandwich and enjoyed it very much. Great breakfast spot
