Good food and super friendly staff. The same gentlemen have been there the 5 or 6 times I have gone and after my first time they remembered me and my order. One of them, I believe the owner Ifran, gave me a Beef Patty (similar to a samosa) to try one day when I said they looked interesting. Food can take some time depending what time of day you go but it's worth the wait.

I've been to the St. Cloud location when I was living there as I was doing my undergrad. The staff at the St. Cloud location was always friendly and would talk to you. Today when I went to the Columbia heights location, they didn't seem so friendly. I felt a bit rushed through out ordering and when choosing what veggies I wanted in my combo platter. I ordered the lamb and chicken rice (combo rice dish for $7.99, after taxes it was little over $8.) Added lettuce, bell peppers, onions, tomato, jalapeños, banana pepper and pickles. I asked them to put the hot sauce and the white sauce on it. Unfortunately as you can see from the pictures, there was too much white sauce! Made it a bit hard to enjoy the food. However, this dish reminds me of late nights up in St. Cloud! I'm glad there's one near by me, and I don't have to drive so far whenever I want to eat it. I'd say, if you've never tried it before, you should! If lamb is intimidating, try the chicken! It's still good and worth trying!

It has improved but still not clean enough. I wish they would improve the standard and make it little high end place.

Caters Indian and Pakistani cuisine as it's forte. Haleem is my favorite dish here. Tried nehari as well and it was yummy too. Kheer being very concentrated has been really great. It is nicely located and have space for salah too. Ambience is not bad and service is very good though little late sometimes. Economical and Tasty option to go with!

I visited NY Gyro for the first time for a take out lunch. The place was a bit of a dive, the parking lot looked like a Syrian airfield after a drone attack and there was plenty of trash strewn around the area to avoid the impression of pretentiousness, but hey, this means that the owners are busy concentrating on the food quality, right? I ordered the Lamb Gyros sandwich combo to go. This is a very common ethnic-ish meal in the US and I used to be a master Gyros chef, so my standards are pretty high. What I got was pretty disappointing. I'll start with the fries. They were exactly like McDonald's fries except that they were underdone. Underdone fries are nearly unforgivable. The Sandwich started with a fairly standard packaged pita. They did have a vertical broiler with a cone of Gyros meat on it but it didn't look like it was actually a: ON or b: Turning or c: no one was cutting hot juicy yummy gyros meat strips off of it. What I got in the sandwich was a handful of diced mystery meat which didn't really taste like any Gyros I have ever had and probably did not come off their mannequin-like brolier set up. Diced anything is not what you want in a pita sandwich. Everything should be cut long so it stays put in the pocket with just enough Zsaziki on top. In this, the tomatoes, onions, meat and lettuce were all diced. The only thing holding everything in the pita bread was the copious amount of "special" dill sauce that saturated everything - even the tissue wrapping that enveloped the gooey mess inside which I had to dissect like a biology lab experiment to eat. While not too competent at making satisfying lunch for humankind, NY Gyros does deserve an achievement award for making the first Gryos sandwich meal that tastes exactly like a badly cooked Big Mac and Fries - which, by the way, you can buy the real thing right next door.
