The Spinning Gyro

The food at this place is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can choose among many different menu options, ( they have the vegan gyro as well). I got a mix plate which is the combination of beef, chicken and their vegan meat, and everything was sooo well marinated!
Can’t recommend this place enough, such a warm and welcoming environment!

Visited Albany for a night on our way to Cape Cod and decided to stop here based off the reviews and the short walk from the Renaissance Hotel. Small restaurant but we found a table on a Saturday evening.

Staff was friendly, service was quick and food was absolutely delicious. Some of the bets Gyro's I've had to date. Meat was excellent and veggies that accompanied it were super fresh. Definitely worth the walk if you're staying nearby or even taking an Uber. Highly recommend!

Finally, somewhere to get some vegan shawarma! The seitan here is perfectly cut and seasoned, and the vegan white sauce complements it well. Stoked to have a gyro place with so many cheap plant-based options.

It was solid. Quick to make our food, orders were accurate. The meat for our gyro's was some of the best in the area, but I think the sauce was lack luster. The baklava was ok, 3/5. Also better in the area. The veggies were all high quality and excellent.

The stuffed grape leaves were nicely seasoned. The hummus was great. If I was closer I'd consider going here more often, but as it's a bit out of the way for me, the food isn't quite outstanding enough for the effort.

Tasty food, with a warm and welcoming staff. I found the beef and lamb gyro platter to be absolutely delicious. The beef and lamb were fairly lean with plenty of flavor. The salad greens were crisp and fresh, well dressed in a nice vinaigrette. The rice was tender with a nice buttery flavor, and the French fries were perfectly crisp on the outside, and tender inside. The Turkish bread was also delightful. My only criticism would be that the platter was very carb heavy. I would like to see them rice or fries replaced with a different vegetable option. Still worthy of 5 stars.
